Declare and believe!

 Romans 10:9

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

This is one of the most important acts, in our belief system. Jesus spoke about being born again and this is precisely it; where you declare with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord! You don't believe because you have seen, it is by faith. One may ask, how do you know? By believing the word of God. Whatever is written in the bible, it is the word of God. Thus, believing in Him, what it takes to enter the kingdom of God. As we do this, God sees what's in our heart and He sees our motives and that's when He comes in to dwell in our hearts and help us build our lives with Him.

As the word says that it depends where the seeds have fallen, whether on thorny places where the word may be choked by people around you who might make a fool of you for the decision you have made, so much so that you start doubting what God said, or will the seed fall on dry ground that will be burnt off by the environment that you are in, or will it fall on good soil, where it will be nurtured to grow and flourish to a full relationship with the Most High God? I pray the later is true, as the kingdom needs you. Pay attention to the environment that you find yourself in, as the company you keep may break or make you. Which is why we go to church, to be with like-minded people that will teach and help grow our faith. Also as the bible tells us that Jesus loves church; He is the head and the church is the body. However, the main thing is to strive to build a relationship with God, by reading the word of God, praying, worshipping. That draws you nearer to God.

If you haven't done so before, I would like urge you to take time and invite the Lord to be your Lord and Saviour. He waits for us...

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
