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 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...
