 'Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the Lord your God...' (Jeremiah 26:13).

As sinners we were condemned by the law of God, but through Jesus's sacrifice, and by His obedience rendered to the law, claims for our repenting souls; we are forgiven and receive the merit of His righteousness. When we become Children of God, we ought to receive the truth that repentance and forgiveness are only obtained through the atonement of Jesus Christ. Therefore, we must amend our ways and our doings, and obey the voice of the Lord our God; simple because He is our God, and His Word directs to His good and for our good. God promised to repent us of the evil that he had pronounced against us. Let us look deep within ourselves and stop being bitter and angry at others. Let us refrain from cursing and being rude to one another and to emulate Christ. We must be kind, loving, merciful and forgive others, just as God has forgiven us because of Christ. The Word of God admonishes us in 2 Chronicles 7:14 that if we are called by God's name, then we should humble ourselves and pray and seek God's face, turn from our wicked ways. He will hear us from heaven and will heal our land - God will heal our hearts. Let us come to Christ with a repenting heart, so the Holy Spirit can transform us. Transformation must take place in the heart, and manifest is power through our whole being - body, soul and mind. Let us come to Jesus as we are, without delay and give Him our whole heart. Let us seek repentance and rejoice in the Lord, who will clothe us with the garment of His salvation and cover us with His robe of righteousness.

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...

 '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...

 '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...
