OUR PURPOSE FOR LIFE

  Inner Strength in every situation We will all experience some form of suffering in this life. The hope for Christians is that we will be helped and strengthened to survive by the Holy Spirit. For those who are in Christ, heartache, suffering, and even death are all temporary. "In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation." ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:10 God promises to restore us, support us and strengthen us. "I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength." Philippians 4:12-13  The verses above were written by Paul in reference to his time in prison for preaching the word of God. God provided him the resilience an

The Peace of God Jesus is known as the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). By His mere presence in our lives, He bestows peace on His people. His will for us is that we live in His peace, free from the worries and cares of this world. God has promised that He will never leave us or forsake us. So that when we face adversity, we can lean on Him and receive His peace, which will keep us strong and secure through hardships. "I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid." John 14:27 Everyone will face difficulties at some point in their lives. But as God's children, we have a mighty warrior on our side who walks alongside us, fights our battles, and comforts us. We are held together not by our own strength, but by His. As a result, difficulties should not deter us from our goal of living in His will. Hardships should strengthen our faith, causing us to become firmly rooted as we trust in H

JUST FOR TODAY 1. I will nourish my Soul  "But Jesus told him, No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God." ( Matthew 4:4) In life we spend a lot of time thinking and planning what we will eat. Very little time is dedicated to feeding our souls, feeding our inner self with God's word, His truths. Let us not forget to nourish our soul. Just for today, I will nourish my soul with God's word. 2. I will live one day at a time "This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it."  ( Psalms 118:24) God wants us to live one day at a time. That is why in our Lord's prayer, He says "give us this day our daily bread". This is the day that the Lord has made! We must be present in the blessing of today. Tomorrow will have it own worries. God provides for us one day at a time. Live in the present, the past is gone, don't let it defeat you and the future is in God'

Chasing After Things One of our deepest desires as humans is to live a meaningful and fulfilled life. We are constantly on the lookout for things that will bring us fulfillment, contentment and happiness. We long for the peace and joy that come with material possessions, successful careers, beautiful bodies, higher levels of education, popularity and recognition, self-advancement, sex, pleasure, and relationships. When we obtain these things, we often feel excited for a short period of time, but then we feel empty, and the cycle begins again, and we seek the next best thing. None of these things can completely satisfy our hearts' hunger. We all want to be happy, but we can end up wasting years pursuing things that don't bring lasting happiness.  "I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind." Ecclesiastics 1:14 How many people are happy because they have a lot of money? Are they not up all night trying t

What is Humility According to The Oxford dictionary, Humility as the quality of having a modest or low view of one's importance .  ( Humility )   The bible explains time and time again, that it is wise to be humble both before and God and before people. Here are a few nuggets of wisdom regarding humility: "Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life." Proverbs 22:4 "When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom." Proverbs 11:2 "But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted." Luke 14:10-11 "You save the humble, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them low." 2 Samuel 22:28 "Do not exalt yourself in the king’s presence, and do not
