God is living you and you live in Him!

 1 John 4:15

All who declare that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God.

A wonderful statement indeed. What more could we ask for, than to have our Almighty living in us and us in Him; a very close relationship indeed. The only condition is: this is applicable to those that declares Jesus as the Son of God! I believe and I hope you do too. It is during this wonderful time of the year that we are reminded of the greatest gift of all that we were presented with, Jesus the Son of God! We are reminded of His birth and how He came to save us from sin and to reconcile us with our Father! It is awesome indeed!

May you take time, during these holidays to meditate on this truth, let it soak into your spirit and allow the Lord to reveal Himself to you, as you remember of this miraculous act that humankind has ever seen. May it bring you closer to our Father, as was originally intended, so that you get to see God as your Father, because He is. This time of the year is supposed to be one of the saddest months for me, as I lost both my parents around this time (different dates), but I choose to allow the comfort from the Lord to overtake me, and keep my eyes away from sorrow but to focus on the wonderful news that we celebrate in this month. Thus, I allow the Lord to shower me with His love that fulfills the loss of my earthly father and mother. I'll forever remember and love them and I'm truly grateful that God has taught me that I'm no orphan because I'm His child. Philippians 4:8-9 reminds us to fill our minds with things that are pure, true, right, praiseworthy, noble, lovely etc. instead of wallowing in sorrow. The choice is ours. I pray you choose to keep your eyes on the Lord, no matter the type of storm you may be facing, He is the source of great news for us.

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
