Devotional - 30th Aug 2021

 'And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed' (Mark 1:35).

Jesus the Son of God, who knew no sin, whilst he was on the earth rose early in the morning while it is still dark, went to a solitary place and prayed to His Father concerning all that lay ahead that day, for himself and his disciples.  Jesus needed to develop and maintain fellowship with the Father. We too need to rise up early before day break and pray to God, so we can develop and have fellowship with Jesus Christ our Lord. Sometimes you may have things weighing on your mind when you arise in the morning. It is a good thing to commit your concerns to God and trust Him to work them out. Just as Christ spend quiet time with the Father, he wants us to come aside and spend quiet time with Him, so we will be able to recharge for the days activities. We ought to be filled with God, in order that we may accomplish the mission he has commission us to do. Let us spend time with Christ as we keep our focus on him instead of ourselves.  It is important to spend quiet times with Christ without family or friends, that we can be strengthened to do the work Christ want us to do; and to also strengthen and encourage others, who may lack faith or in need of Jesus, to intercede on their behalf. Let us begin each day by partaking of  God's Word, to meditate on it and pray before we became weary with the care of the day.

Have a wonderful day

 '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...

'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...

 '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.
