 '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...

 'Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength' (Isaiah 26:4). In a time where there is so much confusion and uncertainty, God is calling us to trust Him always. He is our everlasting strength - the Rock of all ages, Jesus Christ our Lord. He is our refuge and strength in every trial we face and our everlasting Rock in every raging storms of our lives. He is our peace in the midst of perplexity and our Fortress in times of trouble who will cause all things to work together for good. All our blessings; temporal or spiritual comes from him, which give us cause to trust Him forever. Christ our solid Rock in ages past and ages to come, is our Righteousness and and in Him we find shelter in the time of storm. We can trust Him at all times and in everything. To give us victory over sin and temptation; to bear us up under affliction and to help us withstand the spiritual attacks that may come our way. It is a good thing to put our confidence in the Lor...

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...
