Getting Right With God.

Leviticus 26:3-12, ‘“If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees of the field their fruit. Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land. I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no-one will make you afraid. I will remove savage beasts from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country. You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you. Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you. I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you. You will still be eating last year’s harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new. I will put my dwelling-place (tabernacle) among you, and I will not abhor you. I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people.”’ Isn’t God great! Had we been depending on our own performance to receive these promises of God, we would not be able to for all have fallen short of the glory of God. Our human nature as Paul tells us in Romans 7:15, ‘…For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.’, is attracted to sin just like a moth to fire and no matter how hard we try to do right before God in our own strength, we fail each and every time. How many times have you made a declaration to yourself not to do something and how many times have you not honored that promise you have made to yourself? But hope is not lost for us because of God and His amazing grace through which He covers us with His righteousness in Christ, and I can now confidently stand before Him, in right standing with Him, to receive all this promises due to the one who was obedient and kept all the commands and decrees of my LORD. My LORD and Savior, Jesus, who was judged and found to be without sin, was judged once and for all and because of what my King did at the cross, I am free from guilt and condemnation and I have the blessings due to the seed of Abraham for I am a child of Abraham by faith. Receive this unmerited gift of God given through Christ Jesus and live the victorious lie God has in store for you. All you have to do is believe in the Son and what He did for you, believe that Jesus Christ, the only beloved Son of God, died for you on the cross by bearing the punishment for all your sins and He is risen for you justification and is seated at the right hand of God in Heaven. It is so simple but it is through this foolishness of God that He has chosen to use to dumbfound the world. Receive Him and be born again becoming a new creature in Christ.

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
