His body was broken and His blood was shed for our regard...Best we don't forget that.

 Luke 22:19-20

He took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then He broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “This is My body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.” After supper He took another cup of wine and said, “This cup is the new covenant between God and His people—an agreement confirmed with my blood, which is poured out as a sacrifice for you.

We are in the season that reminds us of the miraculous power of God. This verse reminds us of what Jesus has done for us. This was His last supper (as it is normally referred to), which He was sharing with His disciples, shortly before He was crucified. Jesus was revealing the true meaning of the crucifixion, the reason behing the gruesome act of His killing. That His body was broken for our regard, that through Him, we are made whole. The blood that was shed, was new covenant between God and us. What an honour and a priviledge to have Jesus do that for us! The bible tells us that He was afflicted for our regard, the stripes He endured, was securing our healing (Isaiah 53:3-5). The pain He suffered was ensuring that we will have joy. We are told that He was forsaken by His Father, who could've easily saved Him from this pain, but prophecy had to be fulfilled, God's will had to prevail in order for us never to be forsaken by our Heavenly Father.

As we remember the biggest act of love and kindness by God for us, may we show gratitude to Him for what He has done for us. May we never forget what it took, for us to enjoy the freedom we have now. Instead, let us strive to access every bit of promise/gift that God has for us, because the price has already been paid. Let us receive the inheritance that God has for us and let us live in purpose, bringing honour and glory to Him!

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
