 '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

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
