Sin destroys lives. Many times Christians fall because of sinfull desires and idols they make for themselves. The world has become a place that motivates sin and rejects God. It is important that we stand our ground and seek God every day. As the body needs nourishment also our souls need to be refreshed. 

God’s mercies are renewed each day and we also need to renew our minds and strengthen our hearts by the Word of God. David wrote as the deer pants for water so I long for God. We must have a deep desire to draw nearer to God and make Him our all. A pastor once said if your Bible falls apart your life will not. If you give God His rightful place in your life and seek to obey Him and His Word, your life will prosper. 

It is important that we take everything to God in prayer and live lives dependant on Him and trusting Him. My dear friend, sin and idols are tools the enemy uses to steal your life. It keeps us distant from God and out of the kingdom of heaven. Strive to live obedient to God no matter how hard, difficult, painful or costly. In the end you will see His planned outcome and you will be prosperous in everything you do. 

Have an awesome day.

My dear friend, this is a message Jesus gave before His crucifixion. As He faced this mountain knowing exactly what lies ahead and what the outcome will be. He plainly tells us that we will face trouble and sorrows. However hard the may be or difficult to understand it is important that we stand strong and be courageous even when the battle seems impossible and the hurt becomes unbearable. 

In these words lies hope and peace. Jesus said that His Words (teachings) will give us peace, the same peace He had before His crucifixion and as we find our rest (a profound spiritual peace and fulfillment found through faith in Jesus Christ) in Him we will have great confidence (boldness). Finally and most important Jesus said “for I have conquered the world”. 

This is the very foundation we can stand on knowing He has already won the battle and His victory is our victory and His authority is also our authority. My dear friend, do not allow life to get you down but continue to place your hope and trust and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ for He will hear your prayer and He knows exactly what to do. 

Have an awesome day.

Sometimes we find ourselves in heart-wrenching trouble that overwhelms us. The Lord Himself felt this way John 12. God says give your burdens to Him and He will take care of us. In His presence we will find peace and quiet rest far away from the reach of those who has give us grief. Sometimes in life it is a close friend, a relative or even an apparent godly person who lets us down badly and causes us a great deal of pain. 

Jesus is the only way and it is best to lay this before Him in prayer and even if He does not change it or acts upon it in the time we desire, He knows best and He knows exactly how to sustain His servants. His will and time is perfect and His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. As we delight in Him and trust Him, He will make it come to pass. In His rest we will find our peace and in Him will we find victory over the plans of the wicked. 

Remember we walk by faith and not by sight. What is invisible to us is visible to God and what is broken can be restored by God. Be patient and be kind, God will never allow the righteous to be cast down. He will always sustain them. 

Have an awesome day.

Last night the Holy Spirit placed this verse in my head and I have been meditating on it this morning. Two things I believe springs out of this. Now first and foremost is God who created everything. Every day I stand in awe of His creation and the beauty that lies in it. Every person so wonderfully and perfectly designed and created out of His love. Yet, we often mis this simple thing that is really beyond man’s understanding. 

How it all works and how wonderful our bodies are made. Secondly God wants us to know that we stand at the beginning. A new year lies before us and new seasons are opening for us. It is the beginning of many great things that will happen this year and I am truly excited at what awaits me and what God has planned for us. 

My dear friend, this year is going to be an awesome year and as we marvel at the wonders of God’s works we are reminded that the creator of heaven and earth are the one who wants hope and a future for each of us. So, step into today and into this year as we embrace God’s will and His ways. Be strong and courageous for it is going to be a year of wonders. 

Have an awesome day.

And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.” How many times do we read or hear this and we think it is for those guys who work in ministry and go out on missions. You know those weird guys who go to funny places and just preach. I guess it is similar to work and your manager asks you to do work that is not your work but someone else’s and you get upset and complain. 

Your manager will either reprimand you or you can say goodbye to an increase. This verse in Psalm 25 is so simple but what does it truly mean to give your life for God. If we need to go into this I would probably still be writing next week. In essence it is to fully surrender your life to Jesus and follow His commands and do what He asks no matter how difficult, uncomfortable or costly. It is in this that we step out of the world and into God’s will. My dear friend, there lies great treasure in obedience to God. 

Jesus said love one another with this part - as I loved you. Come with me today as we share, love and accept what God has called us to do. Let’s invade our world, family and friends with love. Let us live the gospel, speak the gospel and walk the gospel every moment. Let the joy of the Lord be visible in all we do and say. Let our words be a blessing and our love be evident to every person regardless their colour, background, culture or beliefs. 

Let us be a city on a hill. 

Have an awesome day.

Our Pastor gave a nice example this week. I do not know if you have green fingers in other words you love plants and they live in your home. We are all like plants. For a flower to bloom it needs good soil, water and sunlight. If it is not cared for in your home, it will perish. In the same way we need good soil (foundation), water (God’s Word) and sunlight (Jesus Christ). 

God says my grace is enough. This means that there is power in His grace and as we live our lives we need to tap into that. As we stand firm on God’s Word we need grace to do what pleases God. God said that when you are weak, you are strong. When you humble yourself knowing that you cannot do this on your own and that you need (desire) God’s help (grace) you will be strong for He is our salvation. 

Our very victory in all our challenges. My dear friend, I don’t think we need to be reminded how much God loves us, buy we need to know that God desires a relationship with you and as we draw closer to Him, He will draw closer to you. My prayer is simply that you will become a well watered garden that will bloom all the time in Jesus name. 

Have an awesome day.

True holiness is not just a nice statement but a lifestyle we must desire. I love this Psalm, it says so much of where we battle and how we should live. It is important that we note that he/she that REVERENTLY fear the Lord, they will be taught (by God) the ways they should choose. 

Seeking an intimate relationship with God will open doors and show you the right paths to take. David goes on and this is so important. The secret of the Lord is with those who fear (worship, love) Him and He will reveal (show) the deep meaning of His covenant to them. 

My dear friend, in our pursuit of God and delighting in Him lies His secrets (true friendship) and the very thoughts of God. Is this not enough reason to seek Him all the time and desire a more intimate relationship with Him. Come with me today as we love as Jesus loved and strive to live as He did. Preach the gospel at all times and, if necessary, use words. 

Have an awesome day.

There is much to be said about these verses and yet the essence of them are evident in the first four words “It was by faith”. We are made holy inwardly and cleansed of all sin when we accepted Jesus as our Lord and saviour. We are holy because He is holy. But do we live lives of sanctification (holiness)? 

Yes we are made holy by the blood of Jesus but do we walk the talk so to say. Moses refused to accept the riches of Egypt and the life of luxury that it held. Instead he preferred to suffer for the sake of Christ because he knew what the reward is. I know that sin separates us from God and we kinda throw His grace back into His face when we fall back into our old ways. My dear friend, look at Moses. He ran from the world and its pleasure into the desert of the unknown. 

He’s life changed when he stepped on to holy ground and met God in the burning bush. His faith grew stronger as he walked with God and trusted God. He walked through the red sea on dry land, stood in God’s presence, travelled through the desert under God’s care and protection into the promised land. Every season has its highs and lows. We walk by faith and not by sight. Let us align our lives with God in humble submission to His will and way. 

Let’s live to desire a life of holiness in all aspects of our lives for the glory of our God. 

Have an awesome day, my friend.

God just have an amazing way to speak to us and just remind us of His amazing love and that He is who He is. He does not change nor can He be influenced. He is just and He is always with us. This morning He reminds me that when we keep His commands (His Word) and meditate on it with humility and love, He will never allow us to be put to shame, yet He will punish particular lines of thought and conduct. 

God says that when evil comes to steal, kill and destroy, He will punish them and not forsake us but deliver us from it. God sees everything and nothing will be hidden. It is by our revert fear and humble walk with Him that we stay in line with His commands. It is by this that God uses us and guide us for His kingdom. 

Come with me today as we realign ourselves with God and His commands. Let us give it all to Him and surrender completely all our worries and burdens to Him. May the love and mercy of our Lord fill you and may your cup overflow today. May His joy fill your hearts and steer you closer to Him. May you experience His presence in your life and the true peace and freedom that is in Jesus Christ. 

Have an awesome day, my friend.

I really love this Psalm. Yesterday I made a mistake out of anger. I have been battling the last two months with a huge challenge in my life and yesterday it took another turn. I got upset and instead of faith I turned to anger and spoke death instead of just trusting God. So, I have been struggling with myself over this and repented for my weakness. 

This morning God just gives me this Psalm again and yes joy truly comes in the morning. That whole sense of He has got this and He is in control and all that is happening has a purpose in the end result. I have to remain patient and trust Him. Everything will work out for good. My dear friend, we worship an amazing and loving God. Unto Him all the praise and glory. 

He loves you and He is your tower of strength and your fortress of safety. Nothing can seperate is from His love and no evil will succeed over us for His rod and His staff gives us comfort.  

Have an awesome day.
