 '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

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'The integrity of the upright will guide them, but the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them' (Proverbs 11:3). In our everyday life, we struggle with doing right from wrong. The Spirit of God is the best guide for those who are upright and we must honour and trust God. There are two ways to live: either the safe way, doing what is right; or the dangerous way, doing what feels good and sounds good. To be one of integrity is to always do what is right, regardless of difficulties or consequences; and that's what the upright does. They have constant guide through the Word of God and the voice of their conscience. The perverse on the other hand, do whatever they want, having no standards or parameters for their actions, so their perversity will destroy them. For example, in the Bible Haman was perverse and wicked, his ways were crooked; he conspired to take away the lives of others, but to his own demise He was hung instead for his wicked deeds (Esther 7:10). When we k
