 'Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have I not told thee from that time, and have declared it? Ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? Yea, there is no God; (Isaiah 44:8).

When we know God and see Christ as our Redeemer and Saviour, we should have no fear neither be afraid. God had revealed all in the Scriptures about His Son Jesus Christ, from the Old Testament to the New Testament and we see have heard and seen the fulfilment. God had revealed to His people all that would happen aforetime and had declared it. Christ's disciples had the opportunity to see and to  hear from his mouth, things to come and the fulfilment of that which was declared before hand. They were called to be witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and other parts of the world. We are also called to be witnesses in this dark world of sin. There is no other God then, as there is no other God now beside the God of Creation. We should not excuse our ignorance, in not accepting or being satisfied with one God. God is saying to us not to be afraid! He has proclaimed in His Word all that should happened long before they occurred, and have called us to be witnesses. Our God is Sovereign and All-knowing. He knows things no one else could possible know, except the One who created all things. It is God alone who can predict the future perfectly and precisely at all times, without any form of mistake. Let all who have been called, be His witnesses in telling the world that God is the Master of everything, proclaim the Gospel of salvation and of the soon coming of Christ. Let us not be discouraged about the bad situations, the challenges, and afflictions in this life; because God knows what is happening, since He has already proclaimed it. Keep your focus on God's promises and trust Him and we shall have no fear in this world, or be afraid because we know who God is.

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
