Devotional - 10th Feb 2022

 'Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy Spirit is good, lead me into the land of uprightness' (Psalm 143:10).

Knowing Jesus is important in our Christian experience. In knowing Him we will be obedient to the Word of God.
Like David, we need to plead our own wretchedness and be fully assured of God's goodness towards us. In David's distress he cried out to His God for help, we too need to cry out to Jesus in our distress and be confident that he will hear us.
We need the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us into God's truth, as we seek to listen carefully to what His will is for our lives.
The Devil doesn't like us and will try to destroy our testimonies; hinder our praise; shipwreck our lives and drown us in rivers of sorrow and self-pity and self-doubt.
But we ought to stand firm upon the Rock of Ages and confess that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Saviour. Therefore, we must be obedient to the Word of God; and  have sufficient grace to weather the raging storm of life.
We need guidance from the Lord and for the Spirit to teach us God's way, while guiding us into all truth.
We need to admit our weaknesses and trust the Lord to teach us His Will, because He is our God; to allow His Holy Spirit to lead us into the land of uprightness.
Let us not rely on our own understanding, but with body, mind and soul, and a contrite heart rely  solely on Christ.
God is all spirit and all good. It is His nature to do good, and in His mercy and goodness, He will hear our prayers, teach us his will and lead us in the land of uprightness.
Let us seek to learn from the Master Teacher - Jesus Christ, who will teach us by His Word; illuminates our mind by the Spirit; and imprint His Word in our hearts, so we  can be obedient to His will. Let the Lord not only teach us to know His will, but also to do his will.
 It's the Holy Spirit that leads us to obedience - He is the driving force to obedience. Let us pray for the Holy Spirit to transform our lives and fit us for heaven.

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 ...
