 'For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God'
( Romans 14:11).

Christ the righteous Judge is coming back again, therefore, we have no need to judge our fellow Christians. All judgments are down to Christ, not us! In the end every knee shall bow before the Lord, and every tongue shall confess to God, to give  praises and acknowledge that Jesus is Lord.
When Christ return, every one at that judgment will recognised Him as the Sovereign Lord and King of kings.
The songwriter put it beautifully, "The judgment has set the books have been open. How will I stand on that great day. Shall I stand with my sins wanting or with my sins all washed away."
Each one of us has to give an account of our lives to Christ, when we shall stand before him.
Paul cited from Isaiah 43:23, when he wrote "For it is written."Christ can be trusted, as we see the Lord has sworn by himself, that is, by His own life, that everything mentioned would surely come to pass. Let us have that longing, to bow our knees before Christ, as we affirm his sovereignty over all who worship him.
All who come to Jesus, must believe in their hearts that it was God who raised Him up from death, that we might be saved. He was highly exalted by God and His name, which is above all other names, was lifted up. Every knee shall bow before him in humility and reverence to a holy God. Let us sanctify Christ in our hearts and be ready always to give an account for the hope we have in Him. Let us asked God for the gift of tolerance not to judge others nor be a stumbling block to them. Let the Lord strenghten our faith every day and that of others around us.
Let us be united with the Lord and follow Him in perfect surrender and continue to be strong in the Lord.

Have a wonderful day

 '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...

 '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...

 'For his merciful kindness is great towards us: and the truth of the Lord endureth forever. Praise the Lord' (Psalm 117:2). The most important thing in life is having a relationship with God. It is through this relationship that we get to know our Maker and experience His love and His truth. When we recognised what God has truly done for us; of his great love and his faithfulness towards us; it should lead us to give Him praise and extol His holy name. God is kind to all his creatures and merciful to us as sinners, therefore, we know his merciful kindness is great towards us. In Christ, God has shown his mercy mixed with kindness, in giving up his Son to save us from our sins. For even though our sins be great, God's mercy is even greater than the sin. God's truth endures forever as his promises are sure. He is not slack concerning His promises to His people. He is trustworthy and faithful. The faithfulness and truth of God given in his promises never fails; nor does t...
