 '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

 '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

 'In your patience possess ye your souls' (Luke 21:19). In the last days we will suffer afflictions, persecutions and be reproach of men. We will be betrayed even by our own families and friends, as they hand us over to our persecutors to save themselves.  God is saying to us, that we should be patient as we bear these burdens and afflictions, by possessing peace and joy in our souls which no one  cannot take away. Our hope and life is in Christ Jesus, and when we hold steadfast unto him, allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and work through us; we will let nothing disturb our peace  or distress our soul. In isolation, it may seem daunting and a difficult task to be joyful and enjoy ourselves in such dire circumstances. However, when Christ is in us the Holy Spirit will empower us and give us the endurance and perseverance to enjoy our souls. The Word of God said, "...we shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; but he that endureth to the end shall be saved&quo
