 'Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness' (Hebrews 3:8).

After God, through Moses delivered the Children of Israel from Egypt, they experienced the miraculous hand of God throughout their journey. However, that didn't stop them giving Moses a hard time or complaining and rebelling against God. They came to the border of the Promised Land and lost trust and confidence in the God who gave them deliverance from slavery in Egypt. As a result, it was only a remnant that was allowed to enter Canaan. As believers, we are edging towards our Promised Land where Christ will be with us for eternity. Therefore, we need to fully trust God and allow him to lead us, so we can experience the fulfilment of His promises. We must never lose sight of our spiritual inheritance which is promised in Christ. Let us hold steadfast to our faith, and not be tempted to lose sight of it, in the face of adversity and persecution; but to have confidence in our Saviour, Jesus Christ and to keep trusting God. The miracles in our lives, may seem to differ from those experienced by the Children of Israel; but if we mistrust and disbelieve God, the end result is the same -  death and losing out of the promise eternity with Christ. Let us learn to listen when God speaks; listen to his instruction, and pay attention to his teaching, keeping them in our hearts that we may not sin against Him. Let us learn from the mistakes of Israel and not harden our hearts, or rebel against God as our forefathers did. Instead Let us rejoice and give praise to the God of our salvation; be obedient and seek to live godly lives in Christ, that will fit us for heaven.

Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend

 '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...

 'Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength' (Isaiah 26:4). In a time where there is so much confusion and uncertainty, God is calling us to trust Him always. He is our everlasting strength - the Rock of all ages, Jesus Christ our Lord. He is our refuge and strength in every trial we face and our everlasting Rock in every raging storms of our lives. He is our peace in the midst of perplexity and our Fortress in times of trouble who will cause all things to work together for good. All our blessings; temporal or spiritual comes from him, which give us cause to trust Him forever. Christ our solid Rock in ages past and ages to come, is our Righteousness and and in Him we find shelter in the time of storm. We can trust Him at all times and in everything. To give us victory over sin and temptation; to bear us up under affliction and to help us withstand the spiritual attacks that may come our way. It is a good thing to put our confidence in the Lor...

Devotional - 14th July 2020

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...
