 'God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord'
(1 Corinthians 1:9).

God is faithful and just, and will fulfill all his promises to all those who are called; believed in His Word and trusted His Son, Jesus Christ for their salvation. God the faithful One, united with His Son, established the redemption of man before the foundation of the world; that by the grace God through faith, we would become children of God and joint heir with Christ in His love. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16). All those who trusted in the redeeming blood of Christ have been promised eternal life with Him. Even when we fail to trust Him, God is always faithful. Let us seek to enrich our lives by living unto Christ, who has bought us with a price - His own precious blood; and unto God who has called us into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Let us ever look to Christ who is our salvation. In our problems and various situations we can look to Him, because none of these things will hinder God from being faithful by His grace, to anyone of us who come to him through faith in Jesus Christ. As believers, we are called by God into fellowship with Christ. He wants to see us in a deep and meaningful relationship with Him, and with Christ; and in a relationship with each other. Let us recognise our calling in this special relationship God is calling us into, trust His Word and trust Christ, our Lord and Saviour. God is calling all who are willing to hear him, to be in a saving relationship with Him. Will you heed the call?

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...

 '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...
