Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people! If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed, then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It […]

My God My Most Intimate and Faithful Friend
You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.”
John 15:14-15 ESV“Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!”
Ps. 139:23 ESVMy God is indeed my most INTIMATE and FAITHFUL Friend
He has always been and will always be there for me, He has never let me down. I have been in situations where no human beings were on the sight, but God was always there. I am so convinced of His unique faithfulness and love towards me that I cannot even find the right words to explain myself. He will never disappoint or betray me, He will never reveal my secrets, He is the Lover of my soul.
He is my PROTECTOR, my PROVIDER, my HEALER, my DELIVERER, my LOVINGKINDNESS, my FORTRESS and my REFUGE.
HE IS MY EVERYTHING
Wow, guys, I just could go on for eternity mentioning what He represents for me!
So, if you would like to experience His FRIENDSHIP and LOVE, I invite you to just be willing to surrender yourself to Him entirely. In order for us to be that close to Him, He needs our heart and that is the secret of that Holy Intimacy. You can just say a prayer like this: Lord Jesus I repent of my sins, come into my heart and be my Lord and Saviour. The Bible tells us in Romans 10, from verse 9 that ” if we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved.”
“For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.”
Rom. 10:10 ESVCongratulations if you have made that decision today

God’s Love
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
1 Cor. 13:4 ESVThe Bible tells us that GOD IS LOVE : “Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.” 1 John 4:8 ESV
If God is love then LOVE IS GOD?, and if Love is patient and kind then God is patient and kind. I know it seems like I am repeating myself but the truth is this equation is very simple because God is actually very simple. In fact we are the ones that most of the time complicate things concerning God. Come on guys He know us more than we know ourselves because “He made us to His own image”.
I know everything around us right now is” yelling” exactly the opposite of love: hatred, selfishness, envy, jealousy and all kinds of nasty things.We do have hope though?, thank God! That hope is and through Jesus Christ. Yep Jesus is the answer to this world heartache. He is the LIGHT OF THE WORLD and light contains love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, patience, endurance, forgiveness, healing, deliverance….
You can be on this path of light if you want to by acknowledging Jesus Lord and Saviour and by recognising what He has accomplished on the Cross for us: He died for our sins so we can be reconciled to God and have eternal life through Him. Being in Christ Jesus is not only having eternal life but is also living the “higher life on this earth.” So can I invite you to say a simple prayer like this from the depth of your heart? ” Lord Jesus I repent of my sins, come into my heart, be my Lord and Saviour.
Congratulations for making the most important decision of your life. ?
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

My God My Freedom
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Cor. 3:17 ESV
The Spirit of the Lord is indeed the Spirit of FREEDOM . That is what makes the difference between RELIGION and RELATIONSHIP.
Let me explain that: whereas “religion” imposes rules and regulations to follow and comply to, whether we like it or not, agree or not with it, a relationship on the other hand gives us the choice and freedom to deliberately decide ” for ourselves”
When we decide to give our life to Jesus Christ, we do it because we want to, nobody pressures us into it, it’s completely up to us. God will never force anyone to love and serve Him; He says in His Word ” come unto Me all of you that are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest” ( paraphrased). He does not command us to accept Him but once we honour the invitation this is when we have to obey if we are to continue benefiting from that freedom.
Jonh8:36 tells us that “if the Son set you free, you will be free indeed”. Yes,once you make Jesus Christ Lord and Saviour of your life, you immediately experience that FREEDOM, you first of all feel it in your spirit that something has happened then your soul and body will follow suit.
If you want to know this FREEDOM, I encourage you to invite Jesus Christ into your heart as your Lord and Saviour and say a simple prayer like this: Lord Jesus I repent of my sins, come into my life and make something of it in Jesus’s Name
Loving you always with the love of Jesus

My God My Hope
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Rom. 15:13 ESVHope is something that” keeps us going” if I may put it like that. I mean seriously, where and how would we be if we were living without HOPE? In our every day conversations we often use the word “hope” but do we really understand what it implies? I think not! The Bible tells us in the book of Hebrews 11:1 that ” Faith is the substance of things HOPED FOR and the evidence of things not seen. 1Peter 1: 3 says the following:
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead”
1 Pet. 1:3 ESVWe see from the above passage that really our hope is in our Lord Jesus Christ: we have the hope of seeing Him one day face to face, the hope of spending eternity with Him and so all this give us the hope of living. Let’s face it if we don’t have hope for the future then we are the most miserable people! Why? Because what’s the point?
So HOPE is very crucial to our existence on this earth especially in times like now where everything around us appear to be so gloomy!
Thank God we have HOPE so we are not moved by what we see but by what we believe. Hallelujah
So if you want to have this HOPE we have been talking about today I invite you to join me on this journey of GLORIOUS HOPE, the King of Hope who is none else but JESUS CHRIST says in His Word that He will reject nobody who comes to Him. Let me introduce you to Him if you want: say a simple prayer like this: ” Lord Jesus I repent of my sins, come into my heart, be my Lord and Saviour in Jesus’s Name
Congratulations you are now part of the FAMILY, your life will never be the same again
Loving you always with the love of Jesus

First Love
Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
1 John 4:8 ESVYes God is LOVE
The Bible tells us that the Love of God “surpasses all knowledge and understanding” (I am paraphrasing)
There is no way we as human beings can understand the depth and height of the unconditional LOVE OF GOD. The truth is we absolutely need that LOVE in our lives. As a matter of fact, even apart from the Agape Love of God, Love in general answers many if not all things in life. We are told to love our neighbour as ourselves meaning that we need to love our fellow human beings as ourselves! Neighbour could be anyone, not just the man or woman next door and everything we do must have the motivation of love behind it
Do you want to know God so you can get to know His Love? It’s very simple, you just need to acknowledge Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and invite Him into your heart and life. Can I lead you into a short prayer like this one:” Lord Jesus I repent of my sins, I believe you died for me on the Cross and was raised to life three days later. Come into my heart, be my Lord and Saviour in Jesus’s Name” Amen.
The book of Romans, chaper 10 from verse 9 tells us the following:
“because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.”
Rom. 10:9-10 ESV
