Devotional - 27th Jan 2022

 'When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory' (Colossians 3:4).

We are admonished to set our minds on things above (Colossians 3:2), that we experience the true joy God wants to lavish on us.
Christ is the true life of all who believe in Him. Paul was anticipating the return of Jesus soon coming, and we too should also be anticipating His coming, which is even at the door. No one knows the day or the hour Christ will come, but we know He will come again, as was spoken of Himself and the prophets of Old.
Christ our Saviour died on the Cross at Calvary for everyone. When we become baptised, we are buried with Him and raised with Him into newness of life at His resurrection.
How amazing! As a result we are imputed with Christ righteousness, as part of our new creation in Him. We become a brand new person, as our filthy rags are exchanged for Christ's robe of righteousness.
It is important to note, that our new life is now hidden with Christ in God. It is in Him that we live and move and have our being. Christ is our life!
For all who have never seen Christ, one day He will reveal Himself to us, his people, who are in him as he is in us, and we shall know Him.
All who have been faithful and obedient to God in Christ, shall changed in a moment; in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump. What a glorious day it will be for God's people! All those who have died in Christ shall rise first, then those who are still alive on the earth when Jesus comes, shall be caught up together with the righteous dead, to meet the Lord in the air, and be with Him for ever.
1 Thessalonians 4:16,17).
Let us comfort one another with these words as we wait upon the Lord.
Let Christ be your life, that when He appears, you also shall appear with him in glory. Let us petition the throne of grace, for our minds be set on things above and not on earthly things; to live a life that is pleasing to God in Christ Jesus.

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...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
