 'Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also' (1 John 2:23).

The Bible tells us that Jesus is the Son of God, and if we deny him we don't have the Father, as the Father and the Son are one. Therefore, if we acknowledge the Son, we have the Father. We are encouraged to abide in Christ and hold fast the precious promises of God. There are many who denied that Jesus is the Son of the living God, and also co-equal with the Father. They are deceiving themselves! We ought to confess in our heart that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and by faith in him we have forgiveness of sin and life eternal.  1 John 2:22 tells us that who deny that Jesus is the Christ is a liar. If they denied the Father and the Son they are claimed to be an antichrist. We must understand that Jesus is the only one who can lead us to the Father and the only way we can be saved. This is truth! Anyone who differs from that messag of the Word of God, or reject the Word, denying that Jesus' status as God incarnate is false teaching. We should seek to know the Word of God for ourselves that we may not fall in this death trap. Let's us as believers, desist from loving the things of this world, but instead, live, love and act like Christ.  Let our behaviour and attitudes portray that of Christ and seek to accept and confess that Christ is the Son of God. If we deny Jesus we also deny God the Father. Look to Jesus as our Lord and Saviour and the only One who is able to save us.

Have a wonderful day

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
