Beloved in Christ Ministry

One reason why the Apostle Paul did not marry was that he wanted to have more time for God's ministry. In 1 Corinthinas 7 :33, Paul says in the Good News Version of the bible "But a married man concerns himself with worldly matters, because he wants to please his wife and so he is pulled in two directions (v34). An unmarried woman or virgin concerns herself with the Lord's work, because she wants to be dedicated both in body and spirit ; but a married woman concerns herself with worldy matters , because she wants to please her husband. This ehortation from the Apostle Paul is very much revealing. Even as we have taken on spouses, it is very important that we do not concentrate all our attention and time on our families, we should have sometime alone with God and also enough time for the Kingdom business. From Thomas Orhin

Never trust in man It will spell your gloom and doom, No matter how righteous they appear No matter how trustworthy they are No matter how close they are to you They will disappoint you when you need them most And your soul will be tormented for good It is better to put your trust in the Lord Almighty He will neither leave you nor forsake you He will go with you every mile of the way He will share your anxiety and stress He will relieve the pain and the panics He will be with you at the labour ward He will bring comfort and love again Even when the baby refuse to turn The doctor may be weary, tired and asleep The midwife may err and cause haemorhage But our Good Shepherd will keep the night and the time Till the baby arrives He replenishes what you have lost He gives his own blood, So that pale mothers can live and nurse their babies He did it in the past, He is still doing it. And he will do it for you If only you surrender this life To Him alone Start all over again Never too late, I

On a very difficult day When life's stress and strain abound When all eyes are on you To see how you will weather this particular storm To see if you will survive this one too Thinking you are finished, Thinking you are done and gone T'is here that the great hands T'is here that that the mighty hands Lifts you up for all to see That you are not alone. That you are surrounded with chariots of fire Oh ! may He open our eyes, May he give us insight and foresight May he give us vison and focus To discern the times And live for Him, So that on such a difficult day His light will shine on our path We will surely arrive And not miss the road Amidst the difficulties.

There is one thing that I will never forget as a christian. No matter the circumstances that I am going through. The fact that Jesus cares for me, the fact that he has not forgotten about me, the fact that he says I should fear not, 360 times in the Bible. God also says that "When You pass through the waters I will be with you." (Isaiah 43:2-3) Are the waters deep around your neck? Don't worry you will not drown, I haven't and you won't either because he cares and loves us, Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and Saviour lives. Don't be scared of how close the enemy is to you, don't worry, the enemy will never catch up with you, because the unchanging God and His son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are with you on this Journey of life, you have a great company, Are you not Lucky? that Jesus is your Lord ? Amen

An interesting verse under Psalm 34 states "Find out yourself how good the Lord is, happy are those who trust in him," (Verse 6: Good News Version). This is very true. I will tell you about the love of Jesus but you will have to find out yourself how good the Lord is by giving your life to him. You will testify like the Psalmist, "The Lord watches over the righteous and listens to their cries (verse15). God bless you.

Reading through this wonderful Psalm makes me feel the power of God working in my life. The first verse, "Iwill bless the lord at all times," is a challenge we must all try to take. In spite of the circumstances we find ourselves in, we must try to bless the Lord at all times. Verse 4 says "I prayed to the Lord and he answered me." This means that as we praise the Lord, he is eveready to answer our prayers. Lets keep praising and thanking him as he answers our prayers in Jesus name, Amen.
