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 turbul...

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...

Don't conform to the world standards...

 Romans 12:2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. As the body of Christ, we are meant not to conform to the standards, norms and behaviours of this world, which could lead us straight to the path of unrighteousness. But we are meant to follow the example set by Christ, as our great Shepherd. By so doing, we are meant to lead others to Christ by our behaviours and the way we live life. Jesus as our example, has set for us the standard of living, which  is totally different from the world. For example, the world says be selfish and look out for yourself and don't share with others to preserve your resources. But Christ's way is the very opposite, one of being selfless, being considerate of others and being generous.  This bible verse tells us that when we allow the Lord to transform us, in the way we...
