God has good plans for your life

 Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

When life happens, we need to go back to what God said first, to find our foundation and truth. This verse serves as a basis of what God thinks towards us, what He wishes and wants for us. God has great plans for each one of us, plans that are for good not evil or disaster but ones that leads to a good future. That is the truth that we need to know for sure, without a shadow of doubt that God cares for us and He desires for us to have a good future. This will help when you come across the storms of life and the devil starts whispering and planting seeds of doubt in your heart that perhaps God doesn't care for you or something like that. When you are rooted in Him, you will quickly remember that those serve as schemes to get you off track, that's when you'll need to be convinced of what God said first. Remember God said in life we will have trials, challenges will be there, but He will be with us in those trials, in those tough times, He will be right beside us. The best part is that He said in Romans 8:28- "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." This means even those challenging situations, God is making them work for your good, to your benefit in one way or the other. All we need to do is just trust Him.

The most important aspect, is to believe. You may be exposed to God's word but it means nothing if you don't receive and believe it for yourself. Romans 4 explains to us that God blessed and declared  Father Abraham righteous, not because of his deeds, but because He believed. He believed God in what He promised him and that brought him the blessings that even us get to benefit from. They say the currency for the kingdom of God is faith. Without faith we are nothing, believing in the unseen is what pleases God.

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
