 'So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks forever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations'
(Psalm79:13).

God not only created us as his Children, but died for us too, and provide, care and sustain us. But those who are considered His people, have chosen His covenant grace and are the sheep of his pasture. He leads them by the still waters and provide good pasture for them. As believers, and God's people, we should give Him thanks forever; as long as we live on this earth and in the time of eternity when Jesus comes, to praise him generation after generation. We ought to recognise the Lord as our Shepherd, and see ourselves as His sheep and become totally dependent upon Him. We should declare our thanks and praises forever; for who He is and what he has done for us. By faith we should anticipate a better and brighter future with God, where we shall continue to praise and worship Him. Regardless of the turmoil and violence going on around us, we by God's grace are able to give Him thanks and praise, because a new heaven and earth awaits us. We will then spend eternity with God. Remember, all that we may face in this life is not in the least worthy to compare to the glory that will be revealed in the last days. Let us always have a reason to rejoice, knowing we are blessed and highly favoured in many ways. We have victory in Jesus who died for us, so let us praise the name of Jesus everyday, only He alone is worthy.

Have  a wonderful day

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

Devotional - 22nd May 2020

'Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord' (Hebrews 12:14).  God is a God of peace and of such wants His Children to seek peace between themselves and others. We are also encouraged to pursue a life of holiness, which can only happen through having a relationship with God and being empowered by the influence of the Holy Spirit. As we turn the eyes of our heart upon Jesus, fixing the thoughts of our minds on Him, that His peace, like a river flows into our heart, and His holiness becomes a reality in our life as we consecrate it to Him. We are called to be holy in our thoughts, in words and our deeds; but cannot achieve it by our own efforts.  W e must be consecrated in body, soul, and mind, but not of our own strength. It is only through the empowering of the Holy Spirit that we can pursue holiness and be at peace with each other. Without the Holy Spirit leading us to live a life of ho...
