Our provider is called Jehovah Jireh. He is our Father God. He always is able and will supply all our needs if we are willing to ask Him and to trust Him to do so. He knows what we need; what we really need; before we ask Him. What He supplies will always be sufficient and correct for our purposes at the time. He won't supply all our wants because many of our wants can come from corrupt desires influenced by the world and the flesh. However, He will supply all our real needs if we allow Him to do so rather than just relying on the world's system of doing things.

Nehemiah had the massive task of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem when the people had returned after their captivity in Babylon. It was no easy task! They were confronted by their enemies who did not want to see the walls rebuilt after being in ruins for seventy years. In one hand they carried the materials for repairing the wall and in the other they held their weapons ready for any armed attack. They built but they were constantly on guard against the enemy. Christians must do likewise for they too are constantly in a battle against the enemy.

Everyone desires to live in and enjoy freedom. No one wants to live in bondage. The only true freedom anyone can know is to have freedom in Christ.Those that accept God's free gift of salvation, through the Lord's blood shed on their behalf on the Cross are the only people who know true freedom. They are forever free from the ravages and bondage of sin.Their acceptance of God's free gift gives them freedom and forgiveness from sin and enables them to inherit eternal life.

So many Christians, particularly in Pentecostal circles, are looking towards revival. We know from scripture and historical evidence over the many intervening centuries, that since the baptism of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, there have been a number of major revival occasions. All those who experience revival have been willing to prepare their hearts before the Lord and be obedient to the Holy Spirit's directions. These revivals were all based on revelation knowledge of an absolute need to do God's will and purposes instead of their own desires.

Time is precious but it is finite in duration and does not belong in eternity but is for the present age in which we now live. Mankind's life on earth is bound by time. There is a time to be born; a time to marry and have a family; a time to make an eternal decision to serve the Lord and finally a time to leave this planet as billions of people have already done. Our time and what we will do with our time are in God's hands. We can fritter our time away on performing useless tasks or we can determine to serve the Lord and bring honour and glory to the Father in Jesus' name.

Each person is responsible for their own salvation. However, no person can save themselves, but they can and they must except God's great provision for their eternal salvation.

What are we saved from?

We are saved from all forms of sin and from eternal damnation in hell.

What are we saved for?

To serve the Lord and to live righteous lives and forever to be able to live in the presence of God. There will be no more disease or pain or fear of death. Our burden has been taken away and we are free through the shed blood of Jesus on the Cross of Calvary.

No born again Christian is any longer under any condemnation. They have been freed by the shed Blood of Jesus on the Cross of Calvary. There were those believers who lived before the Cross who believed that God would save them from condemnation. They looked forward to the Cross for their salvation. Those since the Cross and because of the Lord's resurrection power look back to the Cross for their redemption from the condemnation wrought upon their lives through a sin nature and the evil work of the flesh, the world and the Devil.

In order to grow your Christian life it is absolutely essential to read God's Word on a regular basis. You can't just rely on your pastor's sermon last Sunday or upon your friends' Christian walk. It is your responsibility to read the Word of God, the Bible,at least once a day and preferably more than once a day. Getting up regularly to read God's Word, early in the morning, is the best way to start your day.
