 '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

 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 ...
