 'Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord' (Psalm 31:23).

The Psalmist encourage us to hope in the Lord. When we do so, it should help us not to be afraid or discouraged. However, at times we take our eyes off Jesus, or lack faith in him, or get anxious and worried. Sometimes we also become overwhelmed by challenges and trials which caused us to be discouraged or afraid. The Lord will not fail or forsake us and his presence is with us. The Lord has promised to strengthen our heart as we hope in him. He will never leave us, but will draw very near to us even in our adversity, and put His own power into us. It is important to note that when Satan throw his darts at us, or make us face danger and tribulation, we need not be afraid as the Lord is right there at our side. Let  us not be caught in Satan's net, but trust in God's ability as our God to protect and keep us from Satan's scheme and deceptions. It is God who is in control of our lives and decides each of our fate, as he guides us along. Are you willing to place your fate in the hands of God? Trust Him!! Be of good  courage, and the Lord shall strengthen your heart. Walk carefully before Him and take courage at all times, hoping in the Lord. He will strengthen your heart  and enable you to meet trials and oppositions when it comes without being faint and disheartened. When we hope in God, he will cheer us, sustain us, comfort us, prosper and protect  us. Encourage others, as well as, yourself to be of good courage that the Lord may strengthen their hearts, as they hope in him.

Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and...

 'Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength' (Isaiah 26:4). In a time where there is so much confusion and uncertainty, God is calling us to trust Him always. He is our everlasting strength - the Rock of all ages, Jesus Christ our Lord. He is our refuge and strength in every trial we face and our everlasting Rock in every raging storms of our lives. He is our peace in the midst of perplexity and our Fortress in times of trouble who will cause all things to work together for good.

Devotional - 14th July 2020

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...
