The Lord Is Faithful To Those Who Fear Him



"Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the man who takes refuge
in Him.
Fear the Lord, you His saints, for those
who fear Him lack nothing.
The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack
no good thing.

Come, my children, listen to Me,
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Whoever of you loves life and desires
to see many good days, keep your tongue
from evil and your lips from speaking lies.
Turn from evil and do good, seek peace
and pursue it.

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
and His ears are attentive to their cry;
the face of the Lord is against those who
do evil, to cut off the memory of them
from the earth.
The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
He delivers them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and
saves those who are crushed in spirit."

Psalm 34: 8- 18


Those who fear the Lord and walk in His ways need not fear from any adversities. The Lord will protect them from all harm and will supply all their needs. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and He delivers them.

The Heart of Worship

Godlessness In The Last Days

This is an example of man's cavalier attitude in these last days.


"But mark this: There will be terrible times
in the last days.
People will be lovers of themselves, lovers
of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient
to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without
love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self control,
brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash,
conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of
God- having a form of godliness but denying its power.
Have nothing to do with them."

2 Timothy 3: 1-5


We are now entering the period of the last days. We are experiencing right now the PreTribulation period. Let us be wary of the proliferation of false teachings and doctrines, especially those that deny the divinity of Jesus Christ. Those who stand fast in their faith and remain faithful till the end shall receive their coveted crown of righteousness from the Lord when He returns to judge this world.

I Love You Lord

Righteousness Through Faith in Jesus Christ


"But now a righteousness from God, apart
from the law, has been made known, to
which the Law and the Prophets testify.

This righteousness from God comes
through faith in Jesus Christ to all
who believe. There is no difference,
for all have sinned and fall short of the
glory of God, and are justified freely by
His grace through the redemption
that came by Jesus Christ.

God presented Him as a sacrifice of
atonement, through faith in His blood.
He did this to demonstrate His justice,
because in His forbearance He had left
the sins committed beforehand unpunished-
He did it to demonstrate His justice at the
present time, so as to be just and the one
who justifies the man who has faith in Jesus."

Romans 3: 21- 26


We can never save ourselves alone through good works for the wages of sin is death. We can only be saved and made righteous by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ already paid in full the penalties for all our sins. We only have to surrender ourselves to Him and accept His offer of eternal life by accepting Him as our Lord and savior and letting His most precious blood wash away all our iniquities and sins.

Jesus, We Enthrone You

Wisdom Is Supreme



"The path of the righteous is like the
first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter
till the full light of day. But the way of
the wicked is like deep darkness; they
do not know what makes them stumble.

My son, pay attention to what I say;
listen closely to my words.
Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart;
for they are life to those who find them
and health to a man's whole body.

Above all else, guard your heart,
for it is the wellspring of life.
Put away perversity from your mouth;
keep corrupt talk far from your lips.

Let your eyes look straight ahead,
fix your gaze directly before you.
Make level paths for your feet and
take only ways that are firm.
Do not swerve to the right or
to the left, keep your foot from evil."

Proverbs 4: 18- 27


The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. This reverential fear shall keep us from doing evil in the sight of the Lord. It will make us walk according to the will of God, to please Him in all that we do and to give glory to His name in everything.

Jesus and the Little Children




"People were bringing little children
to Jesus to have Him touch them,
but the disciples rebuked them.

When Jesus saw this, He was indignant.
He said to them, 'Let the little children
come to Me, and do not hinder them,
for the kingdom of God belongs to such
as these.

I tell you the truth, anyone who will not
receive the kingdom of God like a little
child will never enter it.
And He took the children in His arms,
put His hands on them and blessed them."

Mark 10: 13- 16

We must be like little children in innocence and harmlessness if we desire to enter the kingdom of God. We must trust our heavenly Father to provide all our needs just as these little children trust their own parents to provide for all their needs.

Blessed Be Your Name

Suffering For Being A Christian


"Dear friends, do not be surprised at the
painful trial you are suffering, as though
something strange were happening to you.
But rejoice that you participate in the
sufferings of Christ, so that you may be
overjoyed when His glory is revealed.

If you are insulted because of the name
of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit
of glory and of God rest on you.
If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer
or thief or any other kind of criminal or
as a meddler.

However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not
be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that
name.
For it is time for judgment to begin with the
family of God; and if it begins with us, what will
the outcome be for those who do not obey the
Gospel of God?"
1 Peter 4: 12- 17

If we are suffering body pains, heartaches and sorrows due to painful trials, rejoice that we are sharing in the suffering of Christ. When His glory is finally revealed, we will share in that same glory for then, our mortal bodies shall be transformed to become like the glorified body of Christ. There shall no longer be any pain, and the Lord shall wipe away all tears from our eyes as we share in His glorious presence forevermore.

Seek The Lord While He May Be Found


"Seek the Lord while He may be found;
Call on Him while He is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way
and the evil man his thoughts.
Let him turn to the Lord, and He
will have mercy on him, and to our
God, for He will freely pardon.

For My thoughts are not your thoughts
neither are your ways My ways,
declares the Lord.
As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are My ways higher than your ways
and My thoughts than your thoughts."
Isaiah 55: 6-9

Seek the Lord while He may still be found and freely accept the forgiveness for your sins. There will come a time when heaven's gate will be seemingly closed to sinners and the message of salvation will no longer be heard nor felt amidst the great tribulation that will befall the earth.
