Today's Edification (30 December 2023)


Greetings sisters! 

I hope you're doing well in the Lord. I know there's not many of you out there...but the Lord has His remnant scattered around the world! If we know some, then let us be thankful for the extra blessing in life, and do our best to look after one another for however long the Lord allows us to! All we have is His. All things work for good for those who love Him! 




But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

Romans 6:17

I love thinking about obeying from the heart. The Lord wants willingness to follow Him doesn't He and we know He doesn't force anyone. 


Typical picture of my day I know but let's not forget all the blessings in each day and that the Lord allows us to do what we do each day and to occupy in good works! We want to be faithful in what we should be. 

Sharing my garden and onion labours. 


(I chopped one onion for the evening meal and it filled a lot of the pan, it was so huge. But I love onion in cooking! Good blessings they are!) 

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. 

For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. 

Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

2 Thessalonians 3:10-13

I was thinking about that scripture and how important it is to work. It's satisfying getting things done and a blessing to have work to do! 


I posted another zucchini recipe here. And another recipe came into mind while I was making it...zucchini boats. A sister had to remind me a few times about that one the previous years but I'm glad I remembered this time and I want to share the recipe with you when I make them soon, Lord willing. Many good blessings from the Lord! 



Isn't this flower creation so intriguing... 

Amazingly designed by the Creator for His glory! 

And I look forward to delicious passionfruits from them... 


(Interesting milk weed seed creations) 


Peaceful chick creations... 


Many good things in His creation in this dark world.


Pondering on Christ Jesus crucified and the blood of the new covenant... 

Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

Hebrews 13:20


Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

Hebrews 10:29


We have been redeemed not with silver and gold... 

But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 

1 Peter 1:19

Let us walk holy in the One who came to set us free from sin! 

And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

Revelation 1:5


Next scripture reading here... 



If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.

1 Corinthians 16:22


He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

John 14:21

Yeah, it's a serious thing if we don't love Him...which is keeping His commandments of truth. Let's keep seeking His Word and abiding in it! 


By the way, I'm changing my daily blog post title from encouragement to edification. I know the word 'encourage' is not used in the new testament scriptures directly but could include many different biblical terms. But anyway, I want to use the word edification as that is a common one for what we are to do! It's building up others in the truth and yes I do hope it encourages you sisters on whatever I share here! 

Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.

1 Corinthians 14:12


Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

1 Thessalonians 5:11


Let's keep pressing on and edifying one another, sisters! Christ is worthy! 


Love in Christ, 

Sister Chayil
