 'For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them'
(Isaiah 59:12).

Salvation is only of God, there is no other way by which we can be saved, but by the blood of the Lamb - Jesus Christ. When we trangress the law of God we commit a sin against Him, and our iniquities have separated between us and God. Sometimes, God will hide his face from His people and will not hear them because their transgressions are multiplied before Him and their sins testify against them. God is a witness to them, as they are witnesses against themselves. When we transgress God's law we become separated from God and we know our iniquities, even though we may try to cover them up, but indeed they testify against us, and are with us. We must therefore, come with a repenting heart and seek God's forgiveness. Let us not profess to be God's people, but be God's people!  Let us know through our own sin that God is always willing to hear us, because His ear is not heavy that he will not hear us, neither is His hand short that He will not save us. He is God and we serve a mighty and wonderful God. Even when we don't get things right, God is there waiting for us to see things as they are, and call upon Him, while He can be found. This we know, when we regard iniquity in our heart God will not hear us when we pray (Psalm 68:18). Let us therefore, seek the Lord and pray earnestly, that our transgressions are not multiplied before us, nor our sins testify against us, hindering our spiritual growth. But to be true to God and ourselves.

Have a wonderful day

 '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
