THE CREATOR

““For since the
creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine
nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.”

Romans 1:20

God has given everyone plenty of evidence to believe in Him. Doubt comes when we fail to stop long enough to observe all the evidence. 

Once in a while, you should create time to reflect over God’s track record in your life, to marvel at the handiwork of the Creator.

We need to know God better; for to be saved is to have the revelation of the glory of God. Do you know Him? To know Him is to know His ways. Jesus is the way to salvation. Take a moment to be still. How can the created not know that the Creator is around? Nature respects God. Animals respect God.  God did not make you a creature living by instinct but He gave you a conscience to make you spiritually inclined to discern His Ways. You are the greatest product of the Holy Spirit. That is why your spirit needs to be awakened. It is time for us to stop disobeying God’s Word, stop running away from the inner voice of our conscience and sense God’s presence in our lives right from when we were small until now.

Each day we receive from God the fruit of His mercy – let us render ourselves – all we are, all we have and all we can do – in service to Him – After all – what return is it for such very rich receiving?

 

 

GOD FIRST

18 April 2024

“Let’s take a lesson from David who was ready to be humiliated in his own eyes, so that God could be honoured. Ask yourself: Where does honouring God appear in your list of priorities? Do you thank Him for all that He has done in your life, all the way long? While men look at the outside, God looks at the motives of the heart. Instead of worrying about the opinion of others concerning you, let the motive of your heart each day be to honour God before yourself.”

THE SACRIFICE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

6 April 2024

“There is no time to do what is right. We must set our heart to obey the Word of God, all the time. God’s kind of lifestyle calls us to do what is right in the sight of God at all times, even though it is contrary to what we naturally want to do. Choosing to do what is right is a great test to the flesh.

What is the sacrifice of righteousness? Choosing to do God’s will rather than our own. When our flesh says hate, God says love. It takes sacrificial love to love your enemy and to pray for them. These are the weapons of righteousness. This is the sacrifice that Jesus looks at and rewards. Even though that might not be a grand, or outward sacrifice, it is what Jesus values.”

LIFE ANEW

1 April 2024

“When we talk of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, we are talking of the rare opportunity He has given to all believers to experience a new beginning – a situation in which every dead area of our lives receives life anew.

We are dead to our past and alive to our future. Sin’s power over us is broken and we now put on Christ’s new life: we live in Him, move in Him and have our being in Him. Herein lies the significance of resurrection.”
