In everything you do, do it in honour of the Lord...

 1 Corinthians 10:23

So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

This verse reminds us that God is interested in every part of our lives and He receives honour and glory in every circumstance. God wants to be intimately involved in our lives, in every aspect and everything we do, He wants to be present. When you think about it, it makes sense because He is our Source of everything. He provides for us, He protects us, He heals us, He rescues us and so much more. This means, when we have something to eat, it is indeed as a result of Him providing for us. 

I've learned not to see the resource that God sends in my life to provide for me, as an ultimate source. God is the Source where He is in charge of every resource and so He chooses the relevant resource to come and meet my needs. For example, my employer is not my source, but a resource that God uses to bless and provide for me. This is true as if the employer is no longer available to provide for my needs, God will make another plan and appoint another resource to meet my needs. Hence, we need to recognize God as our ultimate Source, the One who orchestrates behind the scenes to ensure that we have enough to eat and drink. Thus, when we find ourselves eating and drinking as this verse suggests, we should do in recognition to who God is and what He has already done (behind the scenes) to enable us to have something to eat and drink. Let us thank and adore Him, for He is worthy!!!

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
