 '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

 '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. All our blessings; temporal or spiritual comes from him, which give us cause to trust Him forever. Christ our solid Rock in ages past and ages to come, is our Righteousness and and in Him we find shelter in the time of storm. We can trust Him at all times and in everything. To give us victory over sin and temptation; to bear us up under affliction and to help us withstand the spiritual attacks that may come our way. It is a good thing to put our confidence in the Lor...
