Surely His goodness will follow you, always...

 Psalm 23:6

Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the LORD forever.

I believe and I believe! God has proven His goodness in our lives, over a long time. All it takes, is paying attention to detail and recognizing that a lot of things don't just happen, it is the grace of God. I know it may be difficult to touch and feel the goodness of the Lord when you are in the wilderness, but even so, there are things that you can still see the hand of God over. Take the children of Israel when they were in the wilderness for example, God performed so many miracles, that would convince them that He is with them and for them. He protected them, provided for them and kept them alive however, they kept complaining and forgetting the very last big miracle He performed for them, due to what they were focusing on.

Could it be that we also do the same, we fix our eyes on the challenges and start feeling as though we are on our own, even though God had already proven His presence and love for us? Which is why I'm agreeing and holding on to the word I recently heard at our sermon, where we were encouraged to think back to what God has done in our lives, the things He saved us from, the time He came through for us when times were tough etc. That is bound to strengthen our faith that if He did it then, He certainly will do it again. He never changes, He's the same today, tomorrow and forevermore. Convince yourself that the goodness of the Lord will follow you and that you will live in the house of the Lord for the rest of your life. Such a declaration sends a firm message to the devil who may want to distract you.

Stay prayed up, never lose hope and hold on to His hand...

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
