Title: In The Last Day ...

“For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.”
Ecclesiastes 12:14 (KJV)

Reflection: A student is assessed throughout each semester based on class attendance, participation, assignments, and tests. According to the school's regulations, such a student may receive favourable evaluations for diligence and performance. However, at the end of the semester, final examinations are conducted, and every student must attain the required standard. The class tests, examination results, and attendance records are then considered together before a final judgment is made as to whether the student passes or fails. No student can pass solely on class tests or examinations; both are necessary for a successful outcome.

In a similar way, we as human beings are like students in God's classroom. Our daily lives, conduct, words, thoughts, and actions constitute our coursework. Our faith, submission to Christ's authority, and perseverance in Him are like the final examination. God's standard is perfect holiness. Unlike human institutions where a pass mark may be 50%, God requires complete righteousness.

The good news is that what we could never achieve by our own efforts, Christ has provided through His saving grace. The Bible declares:

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
Romans 3:23

And yet:

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.”
Ephesians 2:8

On the Day of Judgment, the books will be opened (Revelations 20:12), and every person will give an account of his or her life before God. Some of us will pass but some will not therefore God has given us the grace not to be banished (2 Samuel 14:14) by giving us Christ the Messiah (John 3:16). Therefore we all have this grace beckoning at us now and it is free. Jesus is knocking he wants to assist you and me so that we will not be banished from God(Revelation 3:20).

Will you not rather give your life to Jesus today, tomorrow is not guaranteed. Taste Jesus today He satisfies. God bless you as you do. Shalom.

Title:When We Walk with God.

-
Genesis 17:1  And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. Devotion: Walking with God is more than just a phrase—it is a way of life, an intimate journey of faith, trust, and obedience. Throughout the Bible, we see individuals who walked with God and experienced His guidance, protection, and blessings. Their stories serve as powerful reminders that when we choose to walk with Him, we are never alone.   Walking in Obedience – Noah's Example  In Genesis 6:9, we read: "Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God." Despite living in a corrupt world, Noah remained steadfast in his obedience to God. His faith led him to build an ark, enduring ridicule and hardship, yet his obedience saved his family and preserved the future of mankind.     When we walk with God, obedience is key. It may not always...

Title: Confidence in Christ: A Biblical Perspective.

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Devotion:  The journey of faith is one of trust and assurance in the unfailing promises of God. Philippians 1:6 reminds us that the good work God begins in us will be perfected until the day of Jesus Christ. This confidence is not based on human ability or circumstances but on the unwavering faithfulness of God.   Throughout the Bible, we see examples of individuals who placed their confidence in Christ and witnessed His faithfulness in completing what He started. 1. Abraham – Confidence in God's Promise     Abraham was called by God to leave his homeland and journey to an unknown land with the promise of becoming the father of many nations (Genesis 12:1-3). Despite his old age and Sarah’s barrenness, Abraham believed in God's promise. Romans 4:20-21 states that Abraham "did not waver through unbelief regarding the promi...

Title : Giving and God's Faithfulness.

-
Luke 6:38 (KJV) declares:   "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again." Devotion:  In life, generosity is more than a noble virtue; it is a spiritual principle deeply rooted in the Word of God. The Bible teaches us that giving is not just an obligation but an invitation to experience divine abundance.   This verse speaks of a truth that transcends time—the certainty that when we give from a sincere heart, God ensures we receive abundantly in return. It is a reminder that generosity is not merely about material possessions but encompasses kindness, compassion, and selflessness.     However, life's challenges often test our willingness to give. At times, the enemy seeks to discourage us by making generosity feel like a loss rather than a blessing. We might encounter situations...
