First Corinthians 1:9 says, “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.”

The Faithfulness Of God
Have you ever thought about God’s faithfulness? Just think about how faithful God is in so many areas! For example, look at God’s forgiveness. First John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
Suppose you have done something and you don’t know whether He would forgive you or not? Wouldn’t that be incredibly sad? What a joy to know that every time, any time, all the time, if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and to cleanse us, from ALL unrighteousness. Hallelujah, what a Savior!
Oh, the God who saved you is the God who keeps you. Praise God for His faithfulness!

“In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.”
Ephesians 3:12
Written by Angie Liu
Faith is believing God is in control, even when we feel absolutely out of control. We have human teachings that tell us what we much to in order to achieve an outcome..sometimes it works, sometimes it is temporary, sometimes it doesn’t work. During those times our emotions yo-yo up and down with it, and deep inside, something still feels empty and missing. What we must do is close our eyes and breathe and remember our Father is the beginning and the end. He already knows what you are going through and thinking of. You do not need to feel ashamed. Or shy to speak with Him. He already knows and is just waiting patiently with love for you to reach out! If he tried to force you a lesson you were are not ready to learn yet..it would not go over to well. After all He gave man choice. So…what is your choice today? Have faith.. trust in our Lord. He can move mountains for you. Love Him.

We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin.
Romans 6:6
Written by Papama
The Word says that we were slaves to sin. And what comes along with sin? Pain, suffering, anger, anxiety, disease, and death.
Jesus is the inheritance. His never-ending love, joy, peace, and kindness are available to you right in this very moment. Yes, we are called to die with Christ and share in His suffering, and sin still sucks, but we weren’t made to be miserable. That wasn’t the design. The plan has always been for us to be in communion with God. To have a relationship with our loving Creator. But it requires taking every thought captive, focusing our heart and attention on Jesus, and walking in step with the Holy Spirit.

I pray that the Father of glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would impart to you the riches of the Spirit of wisdom and the Spirit of revelation to know him through your deepening intimacy with him.
Ephesians 1:17
Written by Lynnet
This was Paul’s prayer to all the devoted believers in Ephesus and this its also the kind of prayer we can also pray in our lives.
Firstly we need to acknowledge Gods majesty🙏🏽,his goodness and his love that he has lavished on us through his beloved son Jesus Christ🥰He truly deserve all our honour and worship.🌟
We then ask him to give us the spirit of wisdom and revelation so that we can grow to know him more and be able to walk a Christ-like life..We also pray to be able to have good judgement in every decision we make for thats what wisdom does and we ask him to open our eyes daily so we could see ourselves the way he sees us and see everyone around us the way he does..For if we do this thats when we would be able to love others the way we love ourself(the great commandment)🙏🏽❤️

“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear” (1 Peter 3:15).

Jesus: The Only Hope
Are Christians fools for believing in Jesus? Are we mere sentimentalists, or do we have reasonable reasons for believing in the Lord Jesus Christ? My dear friend, false religion will never satisfy the hungry heart.
If you go to the tomb of Confucius, you’ll find it is occupied. If you go to the tomb of Buddha, you’ll find it is occupied. If you go to the tomb of Jesus, you’ll find it empty. He is a risen Savior. Hallelujah!
Now that’s very important because, you see, you can take Confucius out of Confucianism and still have Confucianism. And you can take Buddha out of Buddhism and still have Buddhism. But you cannot take Jesus Christ out of Christianity and still have Christianity, because Christianity is not a code, it’s not a creed, it’s not a cause. It is Christ Himself in you.
Jesus alone takes the sting out of sin, the pain out of parting, the gloom out of the grave, the dread out of dying. And Jesus alone gives a hope that is steadfast and sure.

“And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’”
Acts 2:21
Written by Zukisani
Ultimately it is only the Lord Who can rescue and save us. He is the One Who can turn our darkness into light. All that God requires of us is that we stop and call on Him.
He holds the power to save, to deliver and to set us free.

Life is filled with endless questions and uncertainty. Where is my solid ground in this shaky world? Who can I count on that does NOT disappoint, fail, or forsake me? What about these feelings that I struggle with on a daily basis? Who is always with me and for me? Who can redeem and restore my messes? Where is my hope for the future? Who will love me unconditionally,no matter what? The answer is Jesus. My peace lies in Him and not in things of this world.
