Enter 2018 by FAITH.
Seek the Lord with all diligence. With boldness receive the promises of God. Without Faith, it is impossible to please God. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not try to work out God’s promises by yourself.
Happy New Year!

RESTORATION OF ISRAEL
The Jealousy of God is expressed and communicated in the book of Zephaniah. However, despite God’s demand for exclusive loyalty in the midst of iniquity, we see the display of God’s amazing Love.
Constant rebellion against God will always result in God’s righteous judgment. This was the case of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, when they were overthrown and captured, in the land of Babylon.
Zephaniah is named amongst the eleventh-hour prophets to Judah. He gave prophetic warnings about the spiritual condition of the people. Zephaniah’s lamentation and cry to Judah was for them to repent and turn away from their immorality and idolatry.
God is still speaking today, through “eleventh-hour prophets,” who bring severe warnings to The Church. God is a jealous God who is warning and speaking through these prophets about the impending day of judgement.
The opposite of judgement is mercy, and God demonstrates His mercy, even in the midst of Judgement, calling people to repentance. God’s promise to all the sons of God (both believing Jews and believing Gentiles) must come to pass. They will speak one language and serve Him in one accord ( Zephaniah 3:9).
There will be a remnant, a people who God has betrothed to himself. He will be God in their midst: “The Mighty One, who will save,”
🎵He will rejoice over them with gladness, He will quiet them with His love, He will rejoice over them with singing🎵-Zephaniah 3:17

God has given you Heaven
Heaven is your home if you believe in Jesus Christ. He has loved you, not because of how important, brilliant or great you are, but because He is God, and God’s Love is inexplicable.
Give thanks this hour to The God of Heaven! His commitment of Love in unbreakable, unending and unchanging. He rules and reigns in righteousness, abundant in mercy and full of grace, love and compassion.
When the last trumpet blows, will you be found a friend, or an enemy of God? Run to the Lord Jesus Christ today, give your life to Him. He shows love to the loveless, giving worth to the worthless, making them more like Him every day. Hallelujah!

Celebrating Christ this Christmas,
Ruth Dickson
Most Gracious and Merciful.
May the Lord, who is slow to anger,and full of grace, for the undeserving, have mercy on you and save you from your cruel enemies. Like He did for David, may He uplift and sustain you in your time of trouble.
David talks about God just as God was spoken of in Exodus:
“The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness” – Exodus 34:6
Child of God, the Love God has for you is unfailing and eternal. God watches over His children like a loving Father. What can you give back to Him for 
His undying love? He is the Saviour of your soul.

COMMON LOVE
If it was possible to put a charge on the air that you breathe, the sunshine you receive, or the rain that falls, someone somewhere, some organisation or some country would have made it chargeable.
When the Sun shines, you feel it wherever you are, it does not discriminate. When the Rain waters the earth, it flows freely, without restriction.
Regardless of your religious affiliation, financial standing or country you come from, as long you live, the Sun will shine on you, and Rain will water the earth.
Undeterred by the wicked people of the earth, God allows His Sun to shine and His Rain to fall on the earth freely. He gives good to those who do not deserve it.
God wants you, as a child of God, to love those who do not love you or deserve this love: basically to love your enemies. “That you may be sons of your Father in Heaven. He causes His Sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends His rain on the righteous and the unrighteousness.”
When you love those who hate you, you demonstrate some of God’s nature and character. Though you are not obliged to take them your bosom, you can Love them in the capacity to which God would have you Love them.

Love Your Enemies
The perfect example of One who love(s) His enemies can be found in Christ. It is not a natural thing to Love your enemies, it is an act birthed by the Spirit of God.
As hard as it may seem, Christ wants us to follow in His footsteps,
“To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.” – 1 Peter 2:21
This was a man who “committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.” What excuse do you and I have?
When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats, instead he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.
Are you able to look on, shake your head and not respond to the wicked acts of your detractors? Indeed, you should pity them, because of the one “ who judges justly.”
The Lord says, we are not to be revengeful, unforgiving or hold grudges. “Vengeance is mine, says the Lord.” – Romans 12:19. Let justice take it rightful place.
We must forgive, but not ignore the facts. When a person is openly wicked, deceitful and unrepentant, they have the ability to hurt you. In wisdom, you do not keep yourself in harms way.
We can make a conscious choice to Love our enemies, not only in Word, but in deed:
🙏speak well of them, be
🙏kind to them and
🙏pray for them,
Amen.

The Believer in Christ is no longer a slave.
He became the Son of Man
“When the fullness of time came…” at the appointed time, God sent the promised Messiah. Christ would bring a better covenant. A covenant that was not based on tradition and ceremonies. Christ came to set the captives free.
Tradition and culture holds captives. People who remain in the past can never embrace the future. Moses represented the old covenant, but he pointed to the new; a better covenant; Christ, who would be the fulfilment of the Law.
Liberty and Light
Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty and Freedom (2 Corinthians 3:17). Light and darkness can not exist together, one will certainly overcome the other. Those who The Son has set free are free indeed. They no longer live under the Law, but under Grace. They are free from the shackles of the past.
“Born of a woman under the Law”
Christ subjected himself to such humiliation to free captives. “His humiliation, became our freedom. Hallelujah!
Let the redeemed of the Lord shout for Joy!

💥The wise men believed 💥
They say seeing is believing, but this was not the case with The Wise Men. They believed in Christ before they physically met Him.
Faith
The wise men believed the Messiah had come by Faith. They put steps forward to travel by Faith. What God says should be unquestionable in our hearts. By Faith, the unseen becomes reality.
Despite the pitiful situation of Mary and Joseph, they had a King in their midst whose kingdom was not of this world. The Wise men travelled for miles to worship this King. They fell down and worshipped a King whose Kingship was Divinely revealed.
Having believed what they were told, The Wise Men bowed down in worship. They first men to worship the Saviour, Messiah and King. They knew, by Faith, that He was not an ordinary King: He was the eternal Son of God. The Saviour of the whole world🔑

The spiritual privileges of a relationship with God.
Child of God, there are many privileges as a Believer in Christ. One of them is a close and intimate relationship with Almighty God.
God’s Love has transformative power. It is the understanding of God’s Love that brings the transformation. The man or woman who does not understand God’s Love will find it very hard to love others. This is because they have no understanding of it; they do not know it.
The one who abides in God, abides in God’s Love. There is a depth of assurance and faith that comes from being united with God. The more the Spirit of God indwells in you, the more you will take on God’s nature resulting in you becoming more like Him.
Why not make a decision right now to spend more time with God. Dwell in God’s presence. The more you get to know God, the more you will know of his nature. You will become more like Him.
🔑The key thing here is abiding…simply spending more time with God, will transform your life completely…
