Known By Name

Exodus 33:17, ‘And the LORD said to Moses, “I will do everything you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”’ God knows all of us and everything about us for He says that even before we are born, He knows us. But God had an intimate and personal relationship with Moses; He met him face to face! The reason this happened was because Moses had pleased God. And how can we please God, by living a life of total submission and obedience. Moses had abandoned everything and done everything God had asked of Him, even when it did not make sense to Him; He trusted in and humbled himself to the Lord. And when you live a life of obedience, God will grant every desire and request of your heart because your will is based upon His perfect and good will for your life and everything that you ask for you will find that He has already given unto you. This will give you the confidence to ask, knowing that your requests and petitions have already been answered. Abraham, a man who lived a life of total submission and obedience to God, when God revealed the plan to destroy the evil cities of Sodom and Gomorrah asked God not to destroy the city if only there were fifty righteous people in the city and God granted Him the request, and he went further until ten and the Lord God Almighty did not deny Him his petition. So it is also with us, if we live a life of obedience to God, doing the only work that He expects of us, and that is to believe in Jesus the Christ, the Anointed One of God, and submit to Him as our Lord and Savior, then what we ask is already granted. Please Him and be Known by name as the child of 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

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
