 'Let all your things be done with charity' ( 1 Corinthians 16:14).

Love is of God and He is love! He first love us so we may be able to love him and each other. Paul is stating that love (charity) is very important  to our wellbeing, therefore we are to let all we do be done in love. 1 Corinthians 13 demonstrates how sincere our love for each other should be. Christ himself bids us to love each other as He loved us (John 15:12). We are also told to love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8). A call to love is often seen as difficult, but it reminds us also how much God loves us. His love is incredible and amazing! And he wants us to experience that incredible and life changing love from Him and those around us. Let us as believers, seek to grow in our Christian faith and walk in spirit and truth, and live lives that will only honour God.   Paul was admonishing the Corinthians believers to do everything with charity. He is also speaking to all who fear God and believe in Jesus, to do likewise; to grow in grace and in a knowledge  of our Lord and Saviour.  It is the Holy Spirit who calls us to live as Christ lived and to love as Christ  loved. In our own strength we cannot accomplish this, but as we abide in Christ and He in us, we would learn the lessons of love. Let us allow the Holy Spirit to carry out His good work in and through us that we may become channel through which God's love can flow out to others.  Let us aim to be like Christ and do everything in love.

Have a wonderful day

 '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...

 '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...

 'But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, the just shall live by faith' ( Galatians 3:11). Paul in speaking to the Galatians, admonished them not to listen to heresies, that would jeopardise their relationship with Christ. The same message is relevant to us today as well. Paul here was saying, following the law cannot save us. It is our trust in God and having  faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, that can make us  right with God. That was evident, that the just shall live by faith, not by our own works. It was Christ who had redeemed us from the curse of the law by the shedding of his precious blood. We are save and made right by God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Abraham was justified, because He believed God  and was accounted righteous. We who are seeds of Abraham, will receive the blessings of Abraham by believing in Christ by faith and not works. The Promised blessings of Abraham by God, wasn't just for him alone, but ...
