 '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...

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...

 'But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, the just shall live by faith' ( Galatians 3:11). Paul in speaking to the Galatians, admonished them not to listen to heresies, that would jeopardise their relationship with Christ. The same message is relevant to us today as well. Paul here was saying, following the law cannot save us. It is our trust in God and having  faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, that can make us  right with God. That was evident, that the just shall live by faith, not by our own works. It was Christ who had redeemed us from the curse of the law by the shedding of his precious blood. We are save and made right by God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Abraham was justified, because He believed God  and was accounted righteous. We who are seeds of Abraham, will receive the blessings of Abraham by believing in Christ by faith and not works. The Promised blessings of Abraham by God, wasn't just for him alone, but ...
