Rejoice and be glad!

 Psalm 118:24

This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Being able to open eyes, take a breath, is a miracle, a blessing on its own! It happens so often that we have started taking it for granted. But it isn't. There are so many people who would've loved to see just one more day, but couldn't. When you look at it in that perspective, you realize that we are still fortunate to live and breathe. 

This bible verse reminds us that today could be that day, where all are dreams come true, that we find healing we've been longing for, that we may find peace, that we may achieve a particular goal or something. Or it could just be that day where we make that decision that will change our lives forever! Hence, we need to rejoice in it, we are still alive, still have another chance to chase our dreams, live better and do better. The attitude we should have in the morning, is the one of gratitude, that we made it through the night and we have a chance to live yet another day. We might still have that challenge, that mountain standing on our way, but that doesn't mean that we are doomed, we are going through a training process, to have our faith strengthened and for God to show strong in our lives. When you think about it, if you've never been sick, you wouldn't be absolutely sure that you can trust God for your healing. If you've never faced a biggest challenge in your life (personal or professional), you wouldn't know for yourself that God can intervene and make a way where there seems to be no way! Therefore, we have to go through the difficulty in order for God to come through for us. By so doing, our faith is strengthened. I've heard many times that we must not despise our difficulties, they usher in our breakthrough.

Thus, let us rejoice and be glad on this day...Tomorrow is not guaranteed, but we can appreciate every second in this day.

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
