 'Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge'
(Proverbs 19:27).

In life we have instuctions from parents, teachers, employers, government, religious leader, about how we should behave, what we should do and how. However, the greatest instructions comes from God in his Word. Anytime we cease to listen to the instruction given by God, we will err from the word of knowledge - the word of the living God.  God's word of grace, wisdom, and knowledge, give knowledge of who He is, his salvation and Sovereignty. We need no other Word, but the Word of God, the instructions in it gives life to the soul. Worldly instruction will ruin us, therefore, we need to guard our ears against such. Let whatever we say and do agree with God's Word. 1 Corinthians 15:33 states, "Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners." There are evil people in this world and there are false teachers who are all working under Satan's influence to turn our hearts away from God's truth. We must seek earnestly to know God and His Word  for ourselves that we will not corrupt our thoughts and manners. Remember Satan is behind all their thinking, as he is the father of all lies. Listen to God speaks to you, know his voice and listen to his instruction through his Word and the power of the Holy Spirit.  Let us refrain from being tossed about with winds of false doctrine and follow Jesus, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

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...

 'The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him' (Lamentations 3:25). For many people, waiting is not something we like to do. Waiting can bring about stress, anxiety, irritability and impatience at some points in our lives. It can also bring joy, peace, hope and happiness. We all encounter waiting in our different ways, whether its news of a new arrival in the family where there may be complications; news of a health condition; news of a love one pulling through an illness; news of a job promotion; and for believers waiting with hope and anticipation for the coming of Lord Jesus. Here Jeremiah is saying to Israel and to us that, "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." What is the benefit of waiting on the Lord? The Lord will renew our strength, he will not allow us to be weary or faint (Isaiah 40:31). He will be good to all who wait upon him. The Lord  will also be good to us when we search for him. W...

 'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;' (Titus 2:12). The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach   boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...
