God is faithful (2 TIMOTHY 2:1-13)


One thing that gives me the confidence and assurance to continue to follow God and hold unto him is that He is ever faithful. On this beautiful sunday morning I remind myself once again of the faithfulness of God. To be faithful means to be trust worthy. It means that the God I serve is not a joker, a cheat or an unserious person. If He says a word, He will make it come to pass. In my relationship with God I can boldly accuse myself as the faithless and unfaithful one. I easily leave God to pursue my personal desires which may not be in line with what God wishes for me.

This day is about renewal of my faith and trust in God. Since God is faithful I must rise up, hold unto Him and trust Him above every other thing. My life, work, vocation, business, health, family, travel, study and so on are safe in His hands. He will always be with me to protect me.

The faithfulness of God reminds me also to work on myself so that I will remain faithful to Him and not disown him when the trials of life assail me. The steadfastness of the Lord never ceases His mercy never comes to an end... They are new every morning, new every morning, great is thy faithfulness oh Lord, great is thy faithfulness.

Let us pray: Oh faithful God give me the grace to trust you wholeheartedly and to know that with you by myside I need nothing else. Amen.

The greatest Among You must be your servant(Jer.18:18-20/Ps.31/Matt.20:17-28)

" It shall not be so among you; but whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave" Matthew 20:26-27 This is the true meaning of love according to our Lord Jesus Christ. If we want to show God that we love Him and we wish to be good leaders to others, we must be ready to place ourselves at the service of others and our community. God's definition of greatness is different from ours, because we look at appearance to determine who is great, but God looks at our heart and actions. Jesus laid it bare to the disciples that the ones who desire the be the greatest must be the servant of all and any one who chooses to be the first must be the slave to all. This simply means that if we intend to be counted among the great in the sight of God, we must be ready to put ourselves at the service of others. Jesus has shown us an example, because He placed Himself at our service and laid down His life as a ransom ...

Learn From The Generousity Of Christ (2 Corinthians 8:1-9/Ps.146/Matt. 5:43-48)

Saint Paul in the first reading of this morning enjoins us to be generous just as Christ was generous. Though He was rich, yet for our sake He became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich. The example of Christ in generousity extends to everything He did including His dying on the cross, the love and care He gave to those who came to Him, the forgiveness and mercy He showed to sinners e.t.c. It is this wonderful attidude of our Lord Jesus Christ that we are going to emulate as children of God so that we will be like our Father who is in heaven. It is His generousity that made Him offer His life on the cross for our salvation and if we are going to be His true disciples we must be ready to offer ourselves and sacrifice our life for the salvation of others who are yet to come to know Him. To love ones enemy and to pray for those who persecute us will seem to be a difficult thing to do, but that is the way of perfection. It will be easier to love those who love us and hate ...
