Devotional - 11th Jan 2022

 'Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word' (Psalm 119:114).

We are God's creation, He  created us out of pure love and for us to worship Him as our Creator.  Sin caused us to be separated from the Father, but yet in His grace, mercy and justice, choose to reveal Himself and His plan of salvation to us through His inspired Word.
We cannot fathom God, neither do we understand the mystery of God. God is not taken by surprise anything we have done, because He knows the end from the beginning and is God.
He is our protector in times of adversity and our hiding place when we need refuge.
In the Scriptures, we see on numerous occasions, recorded by Moses, where God had protected Israel and had become their safe hiding place, and a protective shield from their enemies.
In this vicious world of sin, in which we live, the Lord is no less our shield and hiding place. He is our Rock in whom we hide, as He shelters us in the time of storm.  
We have to believe His promises are sure and His Word trustworthy and true.
Troublesome times are upon us, and as Children of God, we need to stand steadfast in Jesus, looking to Him with confidence and assurance of His precious promises.
Let us through the power of the Holy Spirit, abide in Christ day by day, moment by moment. Let us ask the Holy Spirit to help us to patiently wait upon the Lord Jesus as we endure the trials and difficulties of life.
We have hope of the coming of the Lord, to rejoice in Him because we know He is coming back for his people who are faithful and obedient and trust in Him.
Let us seek to remain faithful, covered under the precious blood of Christ which cleanses us; that we may be able to stand in the evil days.
His God not worthy of our praise? Well, let's praise Him and give thanks with a grateful heart.

Have a wonderful day

 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...

Devotional - 22nd May 2020

'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...

 '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...
