Jesus is our source of life!

 John 6:35

Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in Me will never be thirsty.

When Jesus spoke these words, this was shortly after He had performed the miracle of feeding the multitudes with just 5 loaves and 2 fish; people were still after more miracles (not fully getting the meaning of these miracles). Hence Jesus was making it clear to them that He is the bread of life. Bread gives life, vitality. Hence, Jesus means that He is our source of being, we need food to live, hence we need Him to live. He is the source of everything. When we have a health issue, He comes through for us- as our Healer. When we have financial issues, He comes through for our needs. This is why we need to recognize Him as such, that whatever we have, comes from Him, He is the orchestrator of all good things in our lives. James 1:17 says: "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." He sees and understands our needs and then He provides for those needs, in ways we might not even think.

What I've learned is that our jobs are not our source; God is our Source and He blesses us through the jobs we have (which we can see as a resource). Without Him behind the scene, we may even lose those jobs. I once got retrenched and that's when I realized that God is my Source, not the job. The job was gone, but I was still provided for, by His grace. Another example is life itself. God is the source of life and at times we seem to forget this. I once heard a sermon that was saying that, during COVID, people got scared as many people were passing on, hence they thought they were next in line. But remember, God has numbered our days, and He knows our exit story as well. Thus, it doesn't mean that as we see many people passing away then it means suddenly God is no longer in control. God knew each person that passed on that the COVID was going to be the one that facilitates the end of life for them. Therefore, we need to always remember that God is our Source, He is able to take care of us (as His children). Allow Him to lead you as He takes care of you!

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
