Check your priorities...

 Luke 10:41-42

“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

I'm certain that we could all relate to what Martha did. This is a story about Jesus visiting the siblings and as a guest, Martha decided to go to the kitchen to prepare something to eat for their guest, whilst her sister Mary, sat at the feet of Jesus to listen to the word He was sharing. Upon being overwhelmed and frustrated with the chores she had to do, Martha got upset with her sister for leaving her to do everything herself, whilst she was just sitting down. 

However Jesus indicated that Martha should learn from her sister who was prioritizing on what's more important, which is feeding off on the word of God. Yes it might be important to treat the guest well and serve them, but what's more important is to feed our souls from the Most High. In the same way with us, in our daily lives, we might find ourselves trying to ensure everyone is ok, serving them, but we must not neglect the importance of spending time in the presence of the Lord. This has been a game-changer for me, where I decided to dedicate time to be in His presence, reading the word, praying, worshipping, or just listen in. God sees the dedication and it is the more we strengthen our relationship with Him.

Let us remember the true meaning of Christmas

We are drawing closer to Christmas and it dawned on me that we have to take a moment and remember the true meaning of Christmas, the reason why we celebrate Christmas. On this day, we remember that the king of kings was born, our Saviour, our redeemer in whom we find ourselves free. Free to have a relationship with our Father, free from sin and death, free from bondage, free from sicknesses. That we are guaranteed an external life after death. This shows that it is indeed a BIG deal. This was the greatest gift that God gave us, one we should be grateful for, for eternity. I'm reminded of one of the oldest bible verses I learnt which is John 3:16 that tells us that God LOVED the world so much, that He gave His one and only SON, so that whoever believes in Him, will not perish but will have eternal life. That is such a blessing!! Prophet Isaiah told of this in Isaiah 9:6 which says " For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. An...

Let us spread the good news!

 Mark 16:15 And then He told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. Wow, how amazing when God knits things together, I was sharing this with my Kids Ministry two weeks ago, and we touched on it briefly yesterday. This was a command from the Lord, for us to go to the world and tell everyone about the Good News! One may ask, what is the good news? It's simple, the good news is that God loved us so much, that He sent His beloved Son to die for our sins, so that we may be saved! Furthermore, His Son was crucified, died a painful death for us, but the good news is that He rose after three days, He conquered the grave, He conquered darkness. Our king is alive and seated in heaven on the right-hand of our Father, interceding for us! That is the good news! In the verse for today, Jesus is now commanding us, not to keep such good news to ourselves but to spread the news to others so that they too, can be saved and have access to our Father, the love He has and li...

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...
