We are righteousness of God through Christ!

 2 Corinthians 5:12 

God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

This is so powerful and humbling. On the cross, God put our sin and shame on Jesus, so we may be forgiven and made righteous. That was an act of pure love of God for us; that He would take His beloved Son, who had no sin and let Him be crucified so we may be free from sin and shame. What an honour it is to be a child of God! This shows us that we do not need to be hard with ourselves regarding our weaknesses, we need just call on Him to help us where we are weak. We are not perfect, holy, but through Jesus, we are the righteousness of God. 

Through this, we are forgiven, we are made whole, we are healed, we are saved, we are victorious, we are loved and cared for by the Most High. May this act be a reality in our lives, that we remember how precious we are to Him, how much we are loved. Acknowledging this and appreciating it, is all we can do. We might not have a prize or trophy to show Him how much we appreciate it, but He sees our hearts. Let us show gratitude by walking on His feet.

We have peace bacause of what Christ has done for us...

 Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Peace is everything to me, when there's something not right in my spirit, I become uncomfortable, unsettled and unhappy. Which is why it is so pleasing to hear that we have been made right with God by faith, by an act of Jesus obeying and seeing it through for Him to be crucified like that, has made us righteous with God and He is pleased with us. This verse tells us that we have peace with God, what a relief this is! No longer do we have to worry about the mistakes we made and the shame they brought us, but because Jesus' blood cleansed us completely, we can have peace in our hearts and just enjoy our relationship with our Father. Isaiah 44:22 says " I have swept away your sins like a cloud. I have scattered your offenses like the morning mist. Oh, return to me, for I have paid the price to set you free.” Isn't thi...

Make God's beautiful deeds known...

Image
 1 Chronicles 16:24 Publish His glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things He does. Wow, this is such a timely word for me, considering the journey I'm currently in. God is a faithful Father, who is true to His word. Numbers 23:19 tells us that He is not a man that He should lie and that what He says, shall be. Furthermore, God informs us of things to come, through various platforms and through different servants of His. It is up to us to receive the word, believe and wait for it to come to pass, or to just disregard it. I have learned that God is able to speak to me through His servants that could be talking to a number of people, but that He is able to speak exactly to my situation. So, for me, it is time that I make His glorious deeds known. I believe what God told me, is manifesting faster than I can even keep up with. One of them is the grace God has shown me through the selection into the Mrs South Africa programme, this has not been my doing but...

Don't look at the trouble, but focus on the Lord.

 2 Corinthians 4:18 So,  we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever. We have a choice of focusing on the troubles surrounding us, or to fill our hearts with hope and keep our eyes fixed on the Lord who has promises that are a sure thing. The former leads us to anxiety, worry and life that doesn't bring honour to God. However, a switch from focusing on the trouble, the negative  we see, we are able to build our hope as we'll be keeping our eyes on what is a sure thing. Philippians 4:8-9 tells us what we should focus on. It says we should fill our minds  with things that are good and  deserve praise. Things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely and honourable. These are positive things which are all summed-up in the promises of the  Lord. The bible is full of God's promises, we just need to spend time in His...
