Our hope is in the Lord...

 Psalm 39:7

And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in You.

The Lord is dependable, we can put our trust in Him as He is faithful. This is where we put our hope, in Christ Jesus whom we know is the same yesterday, today and forever more, as declared in the book of Hebrews 13:8. So, if we know that God is the same and will never go back on His word (Numbers 23:19), then we can hold on to His word and trust that it shall be as He said. Thus, we remember what God said and did for us, as reference for the future. Him sending His one and only Beloved Son to the cross to die for us because of His love for us, then we can trust that His love for us will never change, He will always love us. In this case, when we are faced with difficulties, it doesn't cross our minds that God could be the one sending bad things to us, because of His love for us. But we recognize that the devil could be sending those things and God allowed them to happen. It is for that reason that we would hold on to our hope in Him that He will come through for us, in fact, in Romans 8:28 He said: "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." Therefore, whatever bad has reached us, God will turn it around to work for our good.

What a powerful God we serve, He knows and sees everything! He is in charge of everything and all we can do, is trust Him. He already confirmed that He will never leave nor forsake us, therefore, whatever challenge, it means God will help us through and work everything out to work in our favour. In this case, we need to take His word for it and not to worry but take everything in prayer with thanksgiving and make our issues known to Him (Philippians 4:6-7). Let us continue putting our hope in Him, He is dependable...

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
