In search of God

Psalm 121, 'I lift up my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip - He who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD watches over you - the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all harm - He will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and for evermore.' Are you in despair, do you feel overwhelmed by the trials and tribulations you are facing, does it seem like the barrage of bad news, bad breaks and bad luck is unyielding, do you feel like giving up. well friend, am here to tell you that you are not alone. that there is one who loves and cares for you so much and has never stopped loving you, no matter what you have done. It is the LORD God our Savior and refuge, the maker of heaven and ...

Ecclesiastes 6:29, ‘This only have I found: God made mankind upright, but men have gone in search of many schemes.’ When God made Adam, he was perfect, filled with the Spirit of God. But Adam rebelled against God’s authority by disobeying Him. Since then we have been living life chasing our own schemes which is vanity because no matter what we chase, we will never be satisfied. Now through the second Adam, Jesus the Christ, we have been made upright again by faith through the grace of God. In Christ we can now stand confidently before God, because we are clothed by the righteousness of Christ, who at the cross ,became our sin and faced the righteous judgment of God for our sins so that we are now no longer slaves but children of the living God. If you depend on yourself, you will always be chasing after worthless schemes that will lead down the path of death and destruction. I urge dear reader, make the choice of letting God make you righteous again.

Isaiah 61:3, ‘They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of His splendor.’ Under the new cross, we are clothed with the righteousness of God in Christ, not because of our own effort but because of the efforts of the second Adam, that was judged and found to be without sin and then He was made sin so that we may be righteous. We do not earn our righteousness but receive it by faith through the amazing grace of God, therefore we are a planting of the LORD, so that through us His magnificence can be seen and He may glorifed forever more.

Ezekiel 18:20, ‘The soul who sins is the one who will die.’ The world has led us to believe that so long as everyone is doing something then it is right, that corporate sins remove responsibility from us. But this is a lie; everyone will pay for their own sins. If you do not live a life dedicated to loving God and your fellow man, only you will be guilty of your rebellion. No one can and will share your guilt. Your righteousness will be credited to you as your wickedness will be credited to you. God is just and will not punish you for the sins of another, therefore rebuke generational curses that have been laid upon your family for in the new covenant you are free from them. Believer, you are covered with the righteousness by faith, therefore through your faith this righteousness will be credited to you. Do not allow yourself to be deceived by the world, just because everyone is doing it, does not make it right before God.

Joshua 2:24, ‘They said to Joshua, “The LORD has surely given the whole land into our hands; all the people are melting in fear because of us.”’ The LORD is faithful and has already given us victory over all circumstances of this life. All we need to do is trust in Him and depend on His grace. Be it financial, health, mercy, love, hope, faith, He has given us abundantly above and beyond our imagination or what we could ask. Isn’t that wonderful news? Rejoice in Him who has called you according to His purposes, dwell in His amazing grace and see yourself lifted from glory to glory, not because you deserve it but because He loves you and has clothed you with His righteousness in Christ and therefore you can access all the promises due to the righteous. Because of His Mighty hand upon you, your name will precede you, wherever you go, people will glorify the name of the LORD, saying there is the LORD’s anointed, His favor has rested on Him, everything He touches prospers, so that as y...

Matthew 6:31,32 'So do not worry, saying, "What shall we ate?" or "What shall we drink?" or "What shall we wear?" For the pagans run after all these things, and you heavenly Father knows that you need them.' If you worry about something that is troubling you, a need that needs to be provided for, a problem that needs a solution, are you guaranteed of getting the provision or solution? I know you will not so why then do we worry. We worry because we allow fear into our hearts and also because we place our focus on our problems. Fear then magnifies these problems into giants that seem insurmountable. But living in fear and worry robs us of life and we end up living miserable defeated lives instead of enjoying the victory that God has in store for us. Our God is faithful and He knows our needs even before we know of them and provides for us a solution before the problem even comes upon us. You doubt, then look at the cross. God knew that Adam would...

Ephesians 4:31,32 'Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.' When we surrender to Christ and accept Him as our LORD, we are born again and receive a new spirit that is like Christ. Through conviction, the word of God and faith, we are supposed to transform our minds and renew our thinking focusing on all that is good. Bitterness, rage, anger, brawling and slander all are present when there is no love. They burden us with hate and we end up living sad, miserable lives. In this we grieve the Holy Spirit that is in us, that was sealed with us for the day of redemption. But God is love and demands that we love one another just as Christ loved us and willingly gave up His life for us. In His love God forgave us of our sins and transgressions, vowing to remember them no more, at the cross when Christ was punished as the Lamb of...
