This truth gives them confidence that they have eternal life, which God—who does not lie—promised them before the world began. – Titus 1:2(NLT)
GOD NEVER LIES
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you discouraged and going through something?
Do not feel condemned about all your sins
Confess and repent for the Lord never lies
He will grant you mercy and will provide.
Believe his truth and you will be set free
Abide in his word for he is faithful to let you see
Have confidence in his promises for he is truth
Then you will eventually harvest his Spirit’s fruit.

One of the most excruciating experience one can have is being betrayed by someone. When a person very close to you go behind your back and stabs you, it is painful. It makes you either fight back or flee from them. Trust is usually lost and it can be hard to restore it unless there is repentance and forgiveness. Oftentimes what happens it nobody wants to confront the betrayal which eventually poisons the relationship.
The bible describes to us a God who never lies. His nature is love and truth and there is no way that he will engage in telling untrue things. He gave us many promises of redemption and victory over sin but we ought to know his truth in order to have the confidence of living in truth and his will.

GOD’S WILL Poem Devotional

________________________________________
God’s will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin. Then each of you will control his own body and live in holiness and honor-not in lustful passion like the pagans who do not know God and his ways. – 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5(NLT)
GOD’S WILL
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you know the will of the Lord?
He clearly instructs you in his word
God’s will is for you to stay holy
He wants your heart fully.
Stay away from all sexual sin
Control all your cravings within
Those who are God’s holy people
They don’t behave like fools.
________________________________________
Many people live their lives without even knowing their destinies. It is a sad thing to witness someone who behaves like a little innocent child when they are already in the prime of their lives. Some people get stuck with experiences in their lives that hampered their growth. They still behave like little kids, lost and running around in circles. God’s will is very clearly stated in his word. He wants us to be holy and stay pure. One of the admonitions he gives us is to stay away from all sexual sins and to control our own bodies. The world has tainted our view of God’s authority over our whole being, including our bodies. God made everything including our bodies. If we succumb to lust, we are no different from the pagans.

Dear Lord, let us live in your will always.

DETERMINED TO DO HIS WILL

Because the Sovereign LORD helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore, I have set my face like a stone, determined to do his will. And I know that I will not be put to shame.
– Isaiah 50:7(NLT)
DETERMINED TO DO HIS WILL
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you love the Lord with all your heart, soul and mind
You will have wisdom, peace, joy and never go blind
When you are determined to do his will, you won’t be shamed
The sovereign Lord will help you when you call on his name.
Those who are resolute to follow his truth
They will be blessed to reap his Spirit’s fruits
Set your mind on obeying all of his commands
Then, you will win over the world and not cave to its demands.
________________________________________One of the hallmarks of a successful person is determination. “Determination” is defined as the ability to continue trying to do something, although it is very difficult. As the bible says “press on.” In other words, when we do not stop despite forces against us, we will be able to reap the fruits of that continued effort. When I was raising my son alone, so many trials and challenges were formed against me. I had a choice not to have my baby because I had no partner, jobless and had nothing. The Lord provided for everything when I became resolute to follow his will and keep my child.________________________________________
PRAYER
Lord, give me the determination to follow your will so I can experience your protection.
REFLECTION
How is determination synonymous to faithfulness?
