Everything belongs to the Lord!

 Psalm 24:1

The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to Him.

This is a great reminder, that everything belongs to the Lord. He is the creator of earth and of heaven. Everything we see, everything we are and even what we don't see but know of, all belongs to the Lord. Sometimes we approach things as though we are the owner, but in actual fact, those too, belong to the Lord. Genesis 1 gives us the account of how God created everything, how everything was formed, and it was by His word. Humans are an exception as He took an extra effort and created the first man and woman by His hands, quite intimate. This proves why God has such affection for us, that even when through sin (from the garden of Eden), He still longed to have a close relationship with us, that He made a plan to send His Son to make amends. How gracious!

One may ask how then did God continue building on this earth, as now there's human involvement in formulation and development of many things? It is precisely that, He is in such a close relationship that He achieves His will through us. He plans, ideas and strategies, that when followed, they yield amazing things. Which is why we cannot take credit for everything, God behind the scene orchestrates everything and we execute (when we are in obedience). We should be grateful for such a relationship, where we can do all things. Everything belongs to the Lord. Dream big, He's got control!

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...

Image
 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...
