He paid the price for our freedom, our light...

 Isaiah 49:9

I will say to the prisoners, ‘Come out in freedom,’ and to those in darkness, ‘Come into the light.’ They will be my sheep, grazing in green pastures and on hills that were previously bare.

What God wants for us, is to be free and to live in the light. Jesus paid the price for us to be free and to live in the light. There are two types of people, those who live in the light of God, who have come to realize that God is our Savior, He died and rose again so that we can access salvation. They have tasted the freedom of God. Whilst there is another group which is still living in the dark, as captives. Bound by sin and grave, and still condemned by the past and by society. At some point we were all part of this group, until we found the true gift, the gift of life through Christ. The bible tells us that we are a new creation, we are the righteousness of God through Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21). All our sins have been forgiven; when God looks at us, He sees the righteousness of Christ and He is pleased.

Therefore, answer the call of God as He is calling us to His light. John 10:10 Jesus tells us that He came so He can give us life, and life more abundantly. Freedom is included there. Peace is part of it. 

Jesus says we are His sheep and He is our good Shepherd, when one sheep is missing, He leaves the 99 (of the 100) to look for that one lost sheep. That's how much He cares and that's how much He wants us saved and part of His family. May the gift of salvation visit you, may the love of God fill your heart so you may see how much you mean to God. Like the prodigal son, He will embrace you and treat you special when you return to Him. Take a leap of faith...

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
