The Lord is good!!!

 Psalm 34:8

Taste and see that the LORD is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in Him!

The Lord is good indeed! This is from the evidence that we have seen in our lives, by taking refuge in Him. He is our hiding place, in time of need. Similarly, to the bible stories we read about, we have come to see the goodness of the Lord in our lives, for ourselves. This may not be in a dramatic way as what Daniel in the bible experienced for example, where he was put in the lion's den and God saved him, but certainly when we look closely in our lives, we can see the traces of God's favour at play. Personally, I have seen God come through for me on a number of occasions, providing healing to me and my family members, Him making a way when finances have run dry, Him providing an open door in a form of a job and so much more. In fact, when I trace back my life, from birth till now, I see the favour of God in such a way that it leaves me in tears of how He loves me and how He came through for me even when I was still of this world. 

Such realization leads to a heart filled with gratitude, for all that the Lord has done and for what He is still to do in the future. It gives full confidence that with Him by my side, I can overcome all the challenges I face. It gives me assurity that I do not have to fear the future, but to have full confidence that He will make a way just like He did the past 100 and more times that He has already done so (since I was born). My prayer is that you may reflect and try and recognize the goodness of the Lord in your life. You may not be where you would like to be but trust me I know you are nowhere where you used to be. That is the hand of God! Show gratitude even for the small things, that pleases the Lord and it activates Him to do more for you. Praise Him, trust Him, obey Him at all times. He cares for you!

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
