 'Now if we be dead in Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him'
(Romans 6:8).

All who have died with Christ, shall also live with him. In baptism we died with Christ on a spiritual level and are resurrected to a new life, being born of the water and of the Spirit. Everyone who is in Christ, must believe he or she will live with him in eternity at His Second Coming. We must understand that when we put our faith in Christ and died with Him, we are no longer a slave to sin. Let us offer ourselves as instrument of righteousness, rather than allow our bodies to be used for sin by the Devil. As believers, it is our obligation to obey God and not continue in sin, but give ourselves totally to the Saviour, who has  taken the shame and death due to us at the cross. Let us accept the righteousness of Christ, that will lead us to eternal life in Him, and seek to become more like Him. By faith we must believe that we shall be alive with Christ presently and eternally. As Christ was raised from the dead, so we are raised from the death of sin through baptism. As Christ was resurrected and lived, so we are resurrected in the newness life with Christ, coming up from the watery grave of baptism. We live in holiness because Christ is holy, and our body is the temple of the Lord. Let us with steadfastness of heart and the power of the Holy Spirit, purpose in our hearts not to live in sin and be slave to it. But let us seek the righteousness of God, and believe we shall live throughout the endless ages of eternity with Christ, our Lord.

Have a wonderful day

'Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord' (Hebrews 12:14).  God is a God of peace and of such wants His Children to seek peace between themselves and others. We are also encouraged to pursue a life of holiness, which can only happen through having a relationship with God and being empowered by the influence of the Holy Spirit. As we turn the eyes of our heart upon Jesus, fixing the thoughts of our minds on Him, that His peace, like a river flows into our heart, and His holiness becomes a reality in our life as we consecrate it to Him. We are called to be holy in our thoughts, in words and our deeds; but cannot achieve it by our own efforts.  W e must be consecrated in body, soul, and mind, but not of our own strength. It is only through the empowering of the Holy Spirit that we can pursue holiness and be at peace with each other. Without the Holy Spirit leading us to live a life of ho...

 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...

 '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...
