Believe that your Redeemer lives!

 Job 19:25

“But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and He will stand upon the earth at last.

When life happens, and things don't go as well as we thought they will, are we still confident that God our Redeemer will come through for us? Or do we automatically start believing that God does not exist? Like Job, who went through so much but held on to his faith, knowing that God never changes, He lives and will redeem him, it is the kind of conviction we need to have for ourselves. What we learn from Job, is that the devil went to God and after an engagement, God allowed the devil to test Job's faith and love for God. The devil thought Job loves God because he is blessed with everything. But God had full confidence on Job that he would not change from his position about the relationship he has with God. Indeed, that was the case. This proved that Job knew God lives and that He loves him and would come through for him.

It is on the same basis that we should have the same belief and conviction, that we know God lives and He loves us no matter what. That it doesn't mean that when we go through difficulties, then God is no more, that He no longer cares about us. In fact, Jesus told us that on earth we will face difficulties, but we must take heart, because He has overcome the world (John 16:33). This was a warning that we will face tribulations, challenges that will be thrown at us, but we must not lose our hope and faith in Him. Therefore, should you be facing some sort of storm in whichever area of your life, may this be a reminder that God is still there with you. You are not alone and it is not abnormal to have challenges (Jesus warned us already). For you is to stay at the feet of Jesus, hold on to your Father, stay in prayer and believe He will come through for you. Your Redeemer lives indeed. Believe and be at peace.

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
