Hello everybody, I hope that you will enjoy going over this blog.
Have you ever wondered what you are doing on this planet?
You may have experienced a good life but you feel empty at times or indeed you have questions that keep coming in your mind but you don’t allow them to bother you because you are having a good time with your mates and that’s all you care right now.
Questions like:
What am I here for?
I feel lonely inside even though I have all the material goods I need, money, house, car, job, latest phone/i pad so what’s missing?
What’s happening at the end of my life?
I was once in a state of utter despair..all the decisions I took ended the wrong way, even when I was trying to assess things logically, things got worse when I asked my mates, they did not know any better. Finally I cried out to the only one who could hear me and help me, the Lord Almighty! And this night back in July 2005, He heard me and he came to my rescue.
You may be surprised to hear this and think: really I thought that this ‘Christian business’ was rubbish! Well, Christian are not so good at advertising their faith.
After Jesus' death on the cross and his resurrection, Jesus told us to
‘go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you!
I hope that you will enjoy spending time on my blog and let me know where I can find you on the web. Bye for now.

How to find peace.
There is such a thing as 'peace with God'. It may be felt and known. My heart's desire and prayer is that you may be able to say with the Apostle Paul, "Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus-Christ" (Romans 5:1)
This peace with God is a calm, intelligent sense of friendship with the Lord of Heaven and earth. He that has it, feels as if there is no barrier and separation between himself and his Holy Maker. He can think of himself as under the eye of an All-seeing Being and yet not feel afraid.
Such a man can look forward to the resurrection and judgement, and yet not be greatly concerned. He can imagine a never-ending existence in the presence of God and of the Lamb - an endless fellowship and yet feel peace.
It is the lack of this very peace which makes many in the world unhappy. Thousands have everything that is supposed to give pleasure, and yet are never satisfied. Their hears are always aching. There is a constant sense of emptiness within.

And what is the secret of all this?
They have no peace with God.
Christian have peace with God because they are justified and their sins are forgiven. They are blotted out of the book of God's remembrance..They are remembered no more. (Isaiah 1:18) And so they have peace.

Let me show you the rock from which justification and peace with God flow.
That rock is Christ.
He has endured our punishment in His own body on the cross. by Dr J.C. Ryle
