Live Expecting Good

By -
Romans 8:28, ‘And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.’ Do not despair if things look bad, do not lose hope thinking that you have messed everything up and you have no chance at reaping any good for in all things God plans good things for those who love Him. Just look at how in Adam man was lost in rebellion and disobedience, cursed to face eternal death because of the sinful life we led, yet in His divine wisdom and mercy and love, God came and lived as man in Jesus, showing us the example by which we should live and then redeeming us unto Himself by His death at the cross thus satisfying the requirement of the law that demanded death for sin and disobedience while giving us the gift of life eternal and clothing us with righteousness in Jesus Christ that we do not deserve. God knows that you are broken, you are a cracked pot and there is no other way that He would want you because only in your brokenness do you acknowledge that you need Him, only then can you depend on Him, only then can you obey Him and glorify Him. DO not be afraid or ashamed of approaching the throne of grace. It is meant for those that are weak, abused, desperate, afflicted, hurt so that He take you weak as you are, foolish as you are and build you up, use you to His eternal glory, to confound the world and let the world know that what you have become, achieved, attained is only possible if God is with you and therefore lead them to praise and worship Him. So do not despair when things are working against you if you are in Jesus Christ and live in love and obedience in Him because He will give you beauty for ashes, anoint you with the oil of gladness for your tears, and reward you with a double portion of what you have lost. Believer, live expecting the best in life from God.

Giving Praise to God

By -
we need to take time and be thankful to the Lord for all the things he has done in our life, the blessings he has poured on us, the afflictions he has prevented us from suffering, the courage he has given us to face difficult times, the solace he gave us when we were sorrowful, and the gift of forgiveness and eternal life. Our God is a compassionate and gracious God and we need to rejoice and be glad in it. We should honor God with songs of praise for even the angels honor him with song in heaven. It is good that in most churches before they start the service, they honor God with songs of praise and worship. These songs not only honor God but uplift us, they give us hope, they empower us and remind us of our loving Father, Our Saviour, Our redeemer, Our comforter. David put it best in Psalms 103:1-5, ´Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits – who forgives all your sins, and heals all your di

God of the Heart

By -
Mark 12:38-40, ‘As He taught Jesus said, “Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted in the market places, and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at the banquets. They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. Such men will be punished most severely.’ God is a God of the heart. He sees and judges what our motives are rather than our outward appearances. As men, we can deceive each other, living well scripted lives that portray us to be one way, earning the praise and honor of men, but deep down we know the truth about ourselves, we can fool everyone and anyone but ourselves and God. We need to aspire to live like David, only for God. We need to put His purpose above ours. We need to live by His will and not ours. We need to be men and women after God’s hearts. Only then can we live in truth and light. Only then can our actions when passed through the fire of judgment stand. Let

God´s Amazing Grace

By -
Hebrews 2:14-18, ´Since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death – that is, the devil – and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. For surely it is not angels He helps, but Abraham´s descendants. For this very reason He had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service of God, and that He might make atonement for the sin of the people. Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are tempted.´ This scripture reveals the reason why Jesus the Christ had to come to die on earth, it was for me, a wretched sinner, so that I could be freed from the hold of the devil and sin through and in Him therefore overcoming death because He paid the price or requirement of the law in my place that required my death as wages for my sins. Through Him, I a
