INSTRUCT YOUR CHILDREN

-
Psalm 78:4 We will not hide [them] from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. There is a reason why God chose Abraham to be the father of the generation from which the earth will be saved. Yes he was a man of faith and God knew he will teach his children His ways: Genesis 18:17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. Psalm 78 speaks of how the fathers erred. They ought to have been the carriers of hope, yes of faith, for they saw great miracles, yet the could not give a good report. What examples did they show, for the very ...

OUR TESTIMONIES

-
Psalm 77:11 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. Almost all believers would have at one time or the other felt what the Psalmist was referring to in Psalm 77: Psalms 77:1-4 I cry out to God; yes, I shout. Oh, that God would listen to me! When I was in deep trouble, I searched for the Lord. All night long I prayed, with hands lifted toward heaven, but my soul was not comforted. I think of God, and I moan, overwhelmed with longing for his help.Interlude You don’t let me sleep. I am too distressed even to pray! Where is the grace, where is the open heavens? Why are things not working for me, has the Lord turned His face away? Why are my enemies having a filled day? Psalms 77:7-10 Has the Lord rejected me forever?  Will he never again be kind to me? Is his unfailing love gone forever? Have his promises permanently failed? Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he slammed the door on his compassion?Interlude And I said, “This is my fate; the M...

OUR ALMIGHTY GOD

-
Psalms 76:4 You are glorious and more majestic than the everlasting mountains. Our God is the Almighty. The greatness of our Heavenly Father cannot be described in mere words, for no matter what we try to compare, it cannot be enough. Psalm 76 sings of His power, and that side of Him that no one should desire to face, the one that faces His enemies. Psalms 76:7-8 No wonder you are greatly feared! Who can stand before you when your anger explodes? From heaven you sentenced your enemies; the earth trembled and stood silent before you. Then the oppressed are set free: Psalms 76:9 You stand up to judge those who do evil, O God, and to rescue the oppressed of the earth. For even the wrath of men still bring Him praise, for when they gang in wrath against God's own, He shows His might and thus brings glory to Himself: Psalm 76:10  Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. For even those who destroy, do not understand that God’s sovereignty is ...

HE HAS THE FINAL SAY

-
Psalm 75:1 Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, [unto thee] do we give thanks: for [that] thy name is near thy wondrous works declare. Nothing on earth goes on without the knowledge of the Heavenly Father. Even though sometimes we feel He is not there or He does not care, however indeed He does. From scriptures we see through the time of existence that God allows authorities to exist and people to do their things. We should understand that the earth was created as an extension of God's kingdom and that man was created to take care of it. However man being the image of God, also has the power of decision making as God has, thus man could choose to obey or disobey, this of course led to man's wrong decision in the first place that caused man's fall. Yet we must not forget the Heavenly Father's sovereignty. For HE HAS THE FINAL SAY. Yes He overrides all other authorities. Thus the Psalmist revealed: Psalm 75:6-7 For promotion [cometh] neither from the east, nor from the we...

JUDGMENT ON THE WICKED

-
Psalm 74:10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever? Asaph one of the psalmist of the ark, sings of God's judgment on the wicked. Some still ask this question today -  Psalms 74:10-11 How long, O God, will you allow our enemies to insult you? Will you let them dishonor your name forever? Why do you hold back your strong right hand? Unleash your powerful fist and destroy them. For there are so many religions and beliefs. They are not of God but many of them try to bring God into it. Imagine a religion that does not belief in the diety and sonship of Christ trying to fit Him into their religion. Glory to God that the Heavenly Father Himself has no religion. Religion is man-made. What God gave to man was salvation and He did this through His Word, the Son, the Messiah. Joh 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Also we have those who have been killed for the sak...

WE MUST LIVE RIGHT?

-
Psalms 73:13 Did I keep my heart pure for nothing? Did I keep myself innocent for no reason? Most of us may have at one point or another thought like this. Why the discipline, why live right, what is the need for all these faithfulness? Just as the Psalmist thought in Psalm 73. Those who lived wrongly, who choose wicked ways and do abominable things seem to prosper, it seemed to him that they had no troubles at all. That nobody bothers them: Psalms 73:3-7 For I envied the proud when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness. They seem to live such painless lives; their bodies are so healthy and strong. They don’t have troubles like other people; they’re not plagued with problems like everyone else. They wear pride like a jeweled necklace and clothe themselves with cruelty. These fat cats have everything their hearts could ever wish for! He then wandered why it was that we who did right seemed to face challenges and attack here and there: Psalms 73:14 I get nothing but trouble all day...

THE KING WHO CARES

-
Psalm 72:2  He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment. This Psalm is attributed to Solomon, son of David. His record was that of a king whose desire was for his people, to rule them in wisdom and justice. 1 Kings 3:8-12 And here I am in the midst of your own chosen people, a nation so great and numerous they cannot be counted! Give me an understanding heart so that I can govern your people well and know the difference between right and wrong. For who by himself is able to govern this great people of yours?” The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for wisdom. So God replied, “Because you have asked for wisdom in governing my people with justice and have not asked for a long life or wealth or the death of your enemies— I will give you what you asked for! I will give you a wise and understanding heart such as no one else has had or ever will have! How many of our leaders today, think this way? Few, I may say, most African leaders are so selfish, inhu...
