THE MEEK WILL ENJOY GOD'S GLORY

Psalm 25:9-10 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.  All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. We know that the greatest glory is not in this present world but the one after here. Though many of us (including me writing) may have become so conscious of this present place. However where we are headed after here is more important. The Lord who promised us long life is also interested in our stay here too. That is why Christ said to the faithful: Luke 18:30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. Halleluyah. It is the proud that would assume that they could live without God it is mere foolishness. Listen to Sennacherib's experience: Isaiah 37:10-11 “This message is for King Hezekiah of Judah. Don’t let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you with promises that Jerusalem will not be captured by the king of Assyria.  You know perf...

ALL BELONGS TO GOD

Psalm 24:1 The earth [is] the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. This singular revelational declaration by David carries so much content and gives the believer the true picture of how things stand. He is God and all things are His, including the earth and all that dwell therein. Isaiah also declared: Isaiah 45:18-22 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else. Some Religious Jews who did not believe in the revelation of the Son, that is, God reaching out to man in human form use this Isaiah prophesy to try to discredit the divinity of the Messiah. For when Christ placed Himself in this place "I am", the bible recorded that they picked up stones to kill Him. So peo...

HE IS OUR SHEPHERD

John 10:14  I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known of mine. Psalm 23:1 The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want. The book of Psalms contains so much prophesy of Christ and His church. David was not just anointed King but he also received the office of a Prophet. His ministry of music was so powerful that immediately David began to play/minister the spirit that troubled Saul left him. Psalm 23 describes the Father revealed in His Son, the Messiah, as the good Shepherd just as the Messiah Himself declared. John 10:11,14 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep. “I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, He says "I shall not want" meaning that all my needs are met. That is the good Shepherd, he always makes sure we are catered for. Halleluyah Matthew 6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. Going on to verse 2: Psalm 23:2 He maketh...

Why Christ Suffered

Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? (see Psalm 22:1) The Son only knew to live with the Father, He came from the Father's bosom and every of His walk was with the Father: John 8:29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. However for our sake He had to bear the unbearable, a seeming separation from the Father, however not as if the Father left Him but He turned His face away from Him as He bore our sins (He that had no sin) 2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Yes, it was a Psalm of David, however he was not literally lamenting what he went through, he was unconsciously standing in the place of a prophet, prophesying the travails of the Messiah on the cross. Yes the Messiah was to come throu...

We need Godly Leaders

Psalm 21:1 The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! The desire of any nation, people or community should be to have godly leaders. With leaders that put their trust in the Lord God, the people would certainly rejoice. Psalm 21:7 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved. If we see this in David we observe that the Lord fights His battles, the enemy of the one who puts their trust in God has made themselves enemy of God, woe unto those enemies. Some may claim to be godly but have made pacts with the darkness, that means their trust is not fully on the Lord. Some also claim to be godly but continue to do evil and encourage evil works. No, this one's cannot be called they that put their trust in God. Listen, we can only truly enjoy true leadership when the Lord is on the throne. The perfect nation is that one that is to come when the Lord ceases this times and we have the new he...

I TRUST IN GOD

Psalms 56:11 I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me? There are some who teach that the believer never get into trouble, that the moment you come to Christ all your problems are solved and that you will no longer face any challenges. It is not as if they are wrong, it is just that they miss it somewhere! John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. It is not that you will not face challenges but whatever challenge you face, before you even begin, Christ has overcome. He has given you the victory. 1John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith. Can there be victory, if there was no battle??? Thus we move by faith and not by sight. When you entered that programme, it seemed overwhelming, however if you focus on the end, and do all you have to do, it i...

Not into Temptation

Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. No one outgrows temptation, for as long as we live here and dwell in this earthy vessel we are prone to temptation. This is why Christ instructed us to pray that we do not fall into temptation. Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak. That is why David prayed our opening verse, for he knew the two stages of sin 1. The meditation of the heart 2. Words and action. David understood that meditating on God's word will keep Him from falling into temptation, for His Word refreshes us each day: Psalms 19:7-11 The instructions of the Lord are perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The commandments of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are clear, giving insight for living. Reverence for t...
