Devotional - 21st Dec 2021

 'For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord'
(1 Thessalonians 3:8).

It is counted a joy to stand firm in the Lord. "Standing firm" is a way to trust God, to depend on him, as we allow him to have His way in our lives. As Christians, we are confronted daily with attacks from the Devil and his forces.
When we stand firm in the Lord we shall live.
We have to learn to depend upon the Lord in times of trouble and persecution; to stand firm and not drift away from the faith, but to keep anchored in the love of Christ.
We must be steadfast, immovable and always abounding in the work of the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58).
Let us be firmly planted into the faith and hold onto Christ as we our anchor of hope.
Without Christ in our lives, we are dead in our trespasses and sin. In Him there is hope of eternal life. Amidst all of our trials and troubles, it is Christ who made the difference in our lives. Our spirits revived and we become more alive and cheerful.
In all our afflictions and distresses we are comforted that in Christ there is hope.
Let us by the grace of God, remain steadfast in God's love and pray for one another in the faith, and hope in the blessedness of the Lord our God.

Have a wonderful day

 '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...

 '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...

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...
