 'If we know that He is righteousness, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him' ( 1John 2:29).

All those who are God's Children must remain in fellowship with Christ, that when he returns, they will have confidence and not be ashamed before him. As believers we know Christ is righteous, therefore, we know that everyone  that does righteousness is born of Him. We, as a result of sin, have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). But by the precious blood of Christ and our acceptance of him by faith, we are become sons and daughters of God. Our relationship with Christ has now allowed us to truly walk with him, and others who have seen our godly behaviour, will know we have been with Jesus. Salvation, we know, is not earned by our works, but comes as a result of grace through faith in Christ. Our faith will lead us to follow in Christ's footsteps and live a life of righteousness, that will positively show the influence of Christ in our lives. We will now act like Christ in our thoughts and deeds, as we seek to have the mind of Christ. Christ is of an everlasting righteousness imputed by God; the embodiment of the Gospel and received by faith to all who truly believe. Let us hear the Word of the Lord and be doers of it, that we may attain unto righteousness and gain everlasting life. Let us strive daily to live a godly life in Christ, and to continue to abide in Him, through the power of the Holy Spirit, that when he returns in power and glory, we will not shrink from Him in shame, but with utterance of unspeakable joy and gladness.

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...
