God is our rescuer

 The story of the Israelites being delivered from Egypt, is one of the greatest bible stories. The bible tells us in the book of Exodus 13:17-18 that when the Lord rescued the children of Israel from Egypt, there was a shorter route that God could have directed them, but He took them in a roundabout way through the desert toward the Red Sea, as the Lord was preparing them for the battle. This is the exact spot where Egyptians drowned as they were chasing after the Israelites.

In Exodus 14,  we see God making the king of Egypt stubborn, who then changed his mind and insisted that the Israelites be followed and brought back to slavery. He took his very best army and they chased after the Israelites and managed to catch-up with them. The Israelites were terrified and cried out to Moses, who told them not to be afraid, but to stand their ground and see the salvation of the Lord. God instructed Moses to hold out his hand over the sea, which he did  and it parted the sea, so the Israelites could pass. However, when the Egyptians followed, the sea closed and they all drowned in the sea. This was such a big miracle that God showed the Israelites, proving that He is mighty and that He is for them.

In the same way that God proved Himself to the Israelites that He is for them, He is with them, the same applies to us that God wants to show off in our lives as well. That He wants to come through for us and conquer the enemy for us. May we recognize that we serve a powerful, loving and gracious God, who is ready to defeat, rescue and prosper us. let us stay ready and continue giving Him praise and allow Him to get the glory in our lives that He so deserve. Amen!

Our King is alive, He sees and hears you...

 1 Peter 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. The recollection about Jesus, is one of the most powerful  story ever. His life story has impacted humanity so much, we just find ourselves in awe and feeling privileged . Jesus died for us, sinners, in order to bring us safely home, to our Father, how amazing is that! He was born to die for us, in order for us not to perish , but to live an eternal life, in communion with our Father (John 3:16). What is wonderful also, is that in as much they crucified Him and He died, He subsequently rose after three days. This means, our King is alive! We serve a King that is alive and infact through  the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! This gives  us boldness that we are not going through life on our own, but we have the Most High living in us and being there with us even in turbulent  times, just li

By knowing Christ, we get a chance of living a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

 2 Peter 1:3 By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a Godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. By coming to know Christ, learning about Him in the word, we now have the ability to live a Godly life. This means by God's divine power, He has equipped us with the relevant information and teachings, on how we are to live our lives. The bible tells us that Jesus was sent to be our role model, our example of the things the Lord expects to see in us and to see in our daily walk here on earth. These things allow us to live a life that is acceptable in His eyes. However, God understands that we are not perfect (and we should never pressurize ourselves to be perfect), but with the guidance we have, we know that where we fall short, we can run to the Lord without guilt or shame, knowing that He is our Father who loves us and is willing to help us every step of t

Let us tell of the wonderful things He has done!

 Psalm 9:1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. And that is called a testimony, telling of the wonderful  things that the Lord has done! With God on our side, we have  an advantage, where we are protected from certain things, where God ochestrates things for us so that they work in our favour (Romans 8:28). He heals us, He provides for us, He opens and closes doors and so much more. Which is why the only two things that we can do to show gratitude for all that He does for us, is first to recognize His role in the whole thing . That in our own strength, we wouldn't have been able to achieve those thigs, gotten favoured or have that opportunity come through. Basically,  giving credit where it is due, and by so doing, we give Him the glory and honour that He deserves. The second thing   that   we  ought to do, is to testify of His goodness in our lives. Us sharing of what we have seen in our lives God doing, can give someon
