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...

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...

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...

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...

Psalms 18:25-27 To the faithful you show yourself faithful; to those with integrity you show integrity. To the pure you show yourself pure, but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd. You rescue the humble, but you humiliate the proud. It is a wonder that one would sow corn and expect to reap grapes. Then why do one sow discord and expect to have peace? It has been this way from the beginning, that what we sow is what we reap. Some preachers have manipulated this verse to fleece gullible believers of money however the verse is clear: Let us look at the origin of that quote: Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. The very next verse explains what the verse was talking about: Galatians 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. See how clear the verse becomes: and then: Galatians 6:9&10 And let us not be weary in we...

Psalm 18:2 The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, [and] my high tower. David knew victory and he understood the source, He prayed to the Heavenly Father and He showed His might against his enemies. Psalms 18:3 I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and he saved me from my enemies. The battles the Lord fights on our behalf we do not know, just like the millions of calculations and analysis that software we are using does behind the scene before outputting the final result. Most times we just see the result but have no idea the battle that ensued. Just like Daniel who prayed and the bible recorded the battle that ensued because the enemy intercepted the reply. Do we understand how the wall of Jericho was pulled down. What of the tearing apart of the red sea or the sun standing still for Joshua. All these were as a result of God changing fundamentals that He may give victory to ...
