 'But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world'
Galatians 6:14).

Paul was alluding to the fact that there is nothing in ourselves to boast in. He would not boast in what God had accomplished through him; but he would boast only in the cross of Christ. Everything he is, was only made possible because Jesus died on the cross for his sins and all our sins to set us free. Some people boast in their education, their wealth, their ministries. But we ought to know and believe, that it was by the cross of Jesus, the world has been crucified to us and us to the world. When we are justified by faith in Christ, and what He had accomplished on the cross, we no longer need the approval of the world. This world we live in has nothing to offer us, but it's sinful worldliness. As believers we have the Gospel of Jesus Christ to offer to all who are willing to hear of the Saviour, Jesus Christ and to accept Him. Let us not promote ourselves and what we have or who we are, but let us lift up Jesus and glory in Him. Let all God's children who accepted Jesus by faith, continue to do good for one another and seek to become a new creation through faith in Christ; and to accomplished the work He has given us to do. Let us all seek diligently to study God's Word, by the help of the Holy Spirit, that we will be equipped to recognised deception; to encouraged each other in the truth; to discern truth and not be tossed about by the chilly winds of deceptive doctrines. It is Christ and him only that we need to boast. It is Him alone who can circumcise our heart and give us eternal hope and joy. Will you let Him?

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
