 O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord preseveth the faithful, and plentifully rewarded  the proud doer' (Psalm 31:23).

We are called to love the Lord, not only by words but by deeds. We are to express it under a sense of the love God has towards us.
We ought to appreciate God's amazing love for us and reverence him; trust in him and give thanks to him, as a result of his kindness towards us, and because he is also God.
God in his mercy will preserve us, as we trust in Him; as we believe in Christ our Saviour; being faithful to  his word and abide by them.
God is a covenant-keeping God, who is always faithful. He is true to his word and his promises to his people. He will reward those who are self-righteous and proud doers according to their works.
Let us therefore, truly praise and exalt the name of the Lord, because we love Him deeply, and know that He  will preserve those who are faithful.
We are admonished in the Scriptures, to love the Lord our God with all our heart, and strength and mind. It is the whole duty of man to fear God and keep His commands.
Let us recognised our strength in the Lord, and acknowledged that our source of grace is from him. When we allow Him to work in and through us, it will lead us to give praise to Him for His abundant mercy and power, through the influence and power of the Holy Spirit.
The Lord our God does preserve his people and honour faithfulness, even  if there are scoffers who mocked us in this world of sin. It is only God who will bless his people and deal justly with those who mocked, scoffed or oppressed them. Let us lean on Jesus and trust Him who is faithful.

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...

Devotional - 14th July 2020

'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...
