Devotional - 24th Dec 2021

 'Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man' (Psalm 108:12).

It is God whom we should seek help from in times of trouble and not man. The help of man is useless and will bring disappointment.
When our confidence in man is gone, we have to pray with every ounce of confidence in God. We shall not find it vain to seek the help of God.
It  is the Devil who is the cause of all our troubles. God allows it because He wants us to trust Him totally.
1 Peter 5:8 says, "Be Sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walked about  seeking whom he may devour."
It is God who can help you in difficult situations, not man, whose help is in vain. Therefore, you ought to trust God and not man.
Today if you're facing a difficult situation or trouble, ask God to help you through these tough times; pray and place it in His hands, because He is faithful and will deliver you.
We are living in a world of sin where everyone is for themself. People's heart are so cold and evil and trouble is just a natural consequence of this sinful world, where Satan is battling for our minds.
We surely need the Lord, more than ever before. With Him we will do valiantly.
It is from the Lord that we get our strength and can do all things through Christ.
Let us put our confidence in the Lord, rather than man, as we rely on the Lord for our strength.
Without the Lord we can do nothing, but through Him we can be victorious and accomplish great things.
Let us learn from David, how to truly praise the Lord, as we bring ourselves in a right relationship with Him.
Listen! Hand your troubles over to the Lord with confidence because he shall tread down your enemies and make you victorious. Trust God! He is ever faithful and will not let us down.

Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend.
Happy holidays!

 '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...

 'The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him' (Lamentations 3:25). For many people, waiting is not something we like to do. Waiting can bring about stress, anxiety, irritability and impatience at some points in our lives. It can also bring joy, peace, hope and happiness. We all encounter waiting in our different ways, whether its news of a new arrival in the family where there may be complications; news of a health condition; news of a love one pulling through an illness; news of a job promotion; and for believers waiting with hope and anticipation for the coming of Lord Jesus. Here Jeremiah is saying to Israel and to us that, "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." What is the benefit of waiting on the Lord? The Lord will renew our strength, he will not allow us to be weary or faint (Isaiah 40:31). He will be good to all who wait upon him. The Lord  will also be good to us when we search for him. W...

 'Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in the present world;' (Titus 2:12). The grace of God brings salvation to all men, seeking a change in our conduct and attitude towards God and one another. It advocates a turning away from sin, and helps the believer in Christ to reject sinful desires and refrain from ungodly living. The grace of God teaches us to avoid behaviours that are sinful and will not enhance our lives; but it is to move us towards right behaviour and right thinking. Paul was instructing Titus to teach   boldly and with authority the conduct and behaviour God expects from His people. To encourage right thinking and behaviour by them living soberly, upright and godly lives. We are also encouraged as Believers in Christ to do the same. We must allow ourselves to be taught by the great Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as we search the Scriptures daily an...
