Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2 v 15 When I was in a line up to be introduced to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in Oct 1997, the term used was " You would be presented to the Queen.." I was by the grace of God among twelve fellows selected for the flagship British scholarship and so, it was deemed an honour to be presented to the Queen in a reception. Likewise, we are to be presented to the King of Kings as one who is a good and faithful servant of God. The uni-verse exhorts us to do our best as we only need to be diligent in studying the word, day and night and the Lord will fill the gaps in our work and our lives with His grace. If we have neglected our work, we would be ashamed when God examines us and our work but if we have excelled, then we would have no reason to hide like Adam and Eve after their fall. The metaph

Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security.

He restores us and renews us in His image. The Lord God becomes the source of our righteousness. The infinite power that resurrected the dead body of Jesus that was completely bloodless when removed from the cross as t

However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me- the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace. Acts 20 v 24 Paul focussed on finishing well the task the Lord Jesus had given him. He did not seek a comfort zone but was always in the frontline, the challenge zone. The Holy Spirit warned him that in every city he travelled to, he would face hardship and even, prison. But Paul had died to his own ambitions and he had only one ambition to make known the good news of Jesus. He was willing to pay any price, even his own life, to fulfil his mission on earth. We, too, if we are to finish well the race of faith, need to emulate the vision and passion of Paul. Paul subjected himself to self discipline so that he did not yield to his inherent weaknesses being a man of flesh and blood. He was sensitive to the voice and leading of the Holy Spirit. He was courageous and singleminded. He was like
