 'And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life'
 (1 John 2:25).

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16). God has promised us eternal life, and whatever he promised can be trusted completely. It is only through Jesus that we can attain eternal life. It is not something we earned, but is a gift from God, which he has promised when His people truly believe in His Son Jesus Christ. This promised through Christ was made before the foundation of the world. If man sinned, the Son of God would come down from heaven, and  give his life for ours, so we could have eternal life in Him. Christ promised this in the Gospel to all who would believe on him. It is only salvation by grace that could warrant us this promise of eternal life, and not salvation by works. When we have fellowship with the Father and the Son, the hope of eternal life is certain. Let us be real! Our guarantee of eternal life rests completely in belief in Christ. Remember, God will always make good on his promises. When He gives  testimony to anything, He will surely deliver on it; because He is God and will never go back on on His Word. Let us trust the living God and his promises because He never fails us. When we doubt God, we know Satan is at work in our lives and its time to do something about it - call out to God for help. Do not give Satan the satisfaction to cast doubt about God in your heart, instead choose to trust God and his promises, so as to receive eternal 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...
