Devotional - 31st Jan 2022

 'I have called upon thee; for thou wilt hear me, O God; incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech' (Psalm17:6).

When we pray to God, we expect an answer from him; but sometimes the answer we get is not what we were expecting or  at times it might seem like there is no answer.
David prayed to God, trusted him and with expectation was confident that God would hear him. We too, when we pray, have to believe with all our hearts that God is listening and that he will hear us.
As believers, we should be confident that we are more than conquerors through Christ (Romans 8:37). Like David we can confidently call upon the Lord our God for His grace and mercy and strength in the time of adversity.
We are helpless without the Lord to fight our battles. We need Him and cannot do it alone. We do need the strength of our Saviour to help us through those difficulties.
If you call upon the Lord, be confident that he will here you, because He who is faithful has promised. He will incline His ear unto you, and listen to you.
God knows our needs and will supply them in His time, which is always the right time.
The Lord will be sure to answer, whether it be yes, no, or wait a while. Let us practice to be in constant dialogue with the Lord, through prayer, so it becomes a lifestyle to us;  a way of life.
We are assured that whatever we ask according to God's will, and in the name of Christ,  He will hear and answer.
It is for this reason we should be confident of being heard, when we call upon the name of the Lord.
 Let us trust in the promises of the God, knowing He is a God who hears and answers prayer. Won't you trust Him today?

Have 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 ...
