Rejoice and worship the Lord!

 1 Chronicles 16:10

Exult in His holy name; rejoice, you who worship the LORD.

Amen, amen! He is our God Almighty and we should worship Him. When we consider all that He has done, from the beginning of time, His marvelous creation and all He is, it leaves us in awe! Jesus came to show us a glimpse of who God is and we learnt that God is love (1 John 4:16), He is merciful, forgiving, gracious, kind, compassionate, patient, just to name a few. He displayed His unconditional love for us when He sent His one and only Beloved Son to die for us, so that we may have life. We should be grateful to be living at this time, post Jesus' resurrection, because now our relationship with our Father has been mended and we can access God's forgiveness. When we consider how it was long time ago, for example during the time of Noah, where God had to restart everything (because of sin), and also about what happened at Sodom and Gomora, you realize that we are living in better times, where we are able to fix things with God.

This, however, doesn't mean that we can continue being wicked, thinking that one day, we will get our house in order and start following Jesus. Life is short, we don't know what our end date here on earth is, which is why the bible urges us to stay ready for when Jesus comes, and when He does, there's no turning back. Therefore, I would like to urge you to ensure that you make things right with the Lord, repent of your sins, the Lord will forgive you, no matter how bad the thing is. He just looks at the heart. Remember the story of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32)? It is the same for us, God is just waiting on us to realize our mistake and come back to Him. He will embrace you like you never did anything wrong. Make it right...

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
