 'He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant forever: holy and reverend is his name'
(Psalm 111:9).

God's love is amazing and perfect. Sin could not prevent or stop Him from loving us! His love goes beyond what we can ever think or imagine. When Israel cried out to Him in Egypt, He sent Moses to redeem them from the bondage of slavery; but more importantly, when sin came into the world, He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to redeem his people from the bondage of sin. All those who accepted Christ as their Saviour and Redeemer, God has sent them to spread His Word of redemption to a world in darkness, through the power of His Holy Spirit. He has commanded His covenant of grace to his people forever through Christ. It is only through Christ and that anyone can be saved. He has redeemed us, and we are His. God's covenant cannot be altered, because it has been ratified by the blood of the Lamb. Therefore, we must love and fear God. He is holy and his name is holy and reverend. It is Christ who saves us from the crutches of Satan and sets us free. And if  Christ set us free, we are free indeed! Let us thank God for Jesus, and His mercies towards us, who by His blood has established a more better and excellent sacrifice than those of animals set upon better promises. We have so much to be grateful and thankful for, that the act of redemption was completed in Christ our Redeemer. Let us seek to reverend the name of the Lord, which is holy. Because at the name of the Lord, we ought to rejoice with trembling as we uttered it in awe. Let us seek the Lord right now, when He can be found, obey His Word, do His will and reverend His holy name. Christ paid  it all for us on Calvary that through him we can be saved for eternity. We can have all of that, if we choose to make him first and last in our lives.

Have a wonderful day

 '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...

 '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...

'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...
