 '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

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'The integrity of the upright will guide them, but the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them' (Proverbs 11:3). In our everyday life, we struggle with doing right from wrong. The Spirit of God is the best guide for those who are upright and we must honour and trust God. There are two ways to live: either the safe way, doing what is right; or the dangerous way, doing what feels good and sounds good. To be one of integrity is to always do what is right, regardless of difficulties or consequences; and that's what the upright does. They have constant guide through the Word of God and the voice of their conscience. The perverse on the other hand, do whatever they want, having no standards or parameters for their actions, so their perversity will destroy them. For example, in the Bible Haman was perverse and wicked, his ways were crooked; he conspired to take away the lives of others, but to his own demise He was hung instead for his wicked deeds (Esther 7:10). When we k
