Devotional - 06th Oct 2021

 "Let us search and try our ways, and turn to the Lord' (Lamentations 3:40).

There is a way that is right and lead us onto salvation, and there is a way that leads to condemnation and death.
It is God's way that will lead us to life eternal, and our ways leads us only to death and everlasting damnation. Choose whom you'll serve, God or man! It is only right to search into our own heart and examine ourselves and our ways, by the Word of God and the standard of faith. Our ways are crooked and perversed, unholy, selfish and full of darkness and evil. But God's ways are plain, holy, selfless and full of light. Let us seek out Christ, having a knowledge of who He is and what he stands for; and to gain a full understanding of His grace, which is sufficient for us. Let us turn again to the Lord. Let us lift up our heart with hands unto God in the heavens (verse 41). Let us repent of our sins, and turn out of our sinful ways and heed the cry of the Almighty God, whom we have sinned against. God has promised that he is faithful and just to forgive and pardon us, all we need to do is turn to Him, with a broken and contrite heart. Sometimes we complain about anything and everything, instead of stopping for a moment to be grateful, and give God thanks for his faithfulness and care towards us. Jeremiah called upon Israel to turn again to the Lord. But first, he admonished them to examine themselves and their ways -  the path of self-deception and self-righteousness, that will only end in sorrow. Then He told them, "turn again to the Lord." That is, "get back on the right path, change your direction by repenting to the Lord your God." We too, are to heed that same message and examine our ways, turning afresh to the Lord. When we  recognise our sinfulness and spiritual pride, we too will repent and turn to God. Let us then lift our heart with our hands to the God of heaven, and truly worship him in spirit and in truth, so we can experience His renewal. The Lord is saying, today if you hear my voice, harden not your heart, but open it to receive me.

Have a wonderful day

Devotional - 03rd Jan 2022

 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...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
