Divine Defence and Favour

-
Psalm 35:6 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify [themselves] against me. God gives His own divine defence and favour! For if you are the Heavenly Father's own, those who fight you, fight Him and those who bless you, bless Him. Psalm 35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. Listen brethren, It is not a privilege of a few who claim to be prophets, pastors, men of God or whatever titles the claim. No it is the entitlement for anyone who has believed and also walk in obedience with Christ. Psalm 35:9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation. Ephesians 1:3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ: No one can toil a...

GOD CARES FOR HIS OWN

-
Psalm 34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. The book of Psalms emphasizes the Lord's favour on those who put their trust in Him. He categorizes them as the righteousness for their way of life pleases the Lord. The Lord calls them blessed: Psalm 34:8 O taste and see that the LORD [is] good: blessed [is] the man [that] trusteth in him. All through scriptures it has been so, the righteous are those who walk in the will of the Lord, they are humble, they put their trust in the Lord, their nature is love and they do good continually. However the other category are those who choose the path of unrighteousness, they are proud, their feet run to do evil and they do not put their trust in God. Psalm 34:12-14  What man [is he that] desireth life, [and] loveth [many] days, that he may see good?  Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.  Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. For this reason Ch...

COME LET'S PRAISE THE LORD

-
Psalm 33:1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: [for] praise is comely for the upright. It is a privilege to praise God. Do you know that before man was created, God was praised? Reading through scriptures you see praise from angels and the elders bowing. So, you do yourself good to be part of the praise. Who should know this more than the maestro himself, the man of worship, David. He talked of worship on the instruments. Today's guitar, piano, drums, cymbals and all other musical equipment. Even the loud music, it all belongs to Him. We sing new songs, for His Spirit in us empower us to worship. Halleluyah Psalm 33:3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. We should remember that when we worship the Heavenly Father we remember all His glorious works just as David did. He said, Psalm 33:6-7 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the ...

I AM AT PEACE WITH GOD

-
Psalm 32:1&2 Blessed [is he whose] transgression [is] forgiven, [whose] sin [is] covered. Blessed [is] the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit [there is] no guile. The best thing to happen to man is to come before the Heavenly Father blameless. Can any man claim perfection, can anyone say they have covered all the corners and no error is found in them? Yes. They are the ones who love the Lord. John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. Do you know that the promise of the Holy Spirit was tied to obedience? It is thus a wonder that one would claim to have the Holy Spirit and yet work in disobedience. (John 14 : 15-17 ) Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. There is no way we can be born of the Spirit and still work in the fruit of the flesh (in sin) never! it does not correlate. Ephesians 5:6-11...

My Hope is in the Lord.

-
Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD. It has been like that from the fall of man, that the wicked envies and seeks the downfall of the righteous. From the hatred and envy that caused Cain to strike Abel to death, to Joseph's brothers seeking his death. What of Saul who sought to kill David? We can also talk of Daniel's colleagues in Babylon who sought to find fault in him that he may be executed. The examples abound in and out of scriptures, and it has continued even till today. No wonder the Messiah taught us: Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. For the worst and most painful is betrayal from those who we call family or friends. But wait, could you have an enemy if they were not first friends, or presumed friends. Selah! David in Psalm 31, cried out for God's help to keep him from enemies. He understood that his trust and ...

GOD HAS DONE IT

-
Psalm 30:11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; When Christ proclaimed the reason for His coming as prophesied by Isaiah many in the synagogue at that time looked up expectantly. Hope was awakened. (Luke 4) Of course they saw healings, great teaching and many wonderful works yet they did not recognize the biggest of all. The sacrifice of Himself to set man free from the law of sin and death. Glory to God. We live today free because of what He did. As we continue to praise Him for all the pockets of blessings here and there, let us remember the greatest of all. "That we may be called the children of God. " 1John 3:1  Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Glory to God. Listen, none of those challenges you are facing now can ever weigh up to that which the Lord has conquered for u...

GOD SPEAKS

-
Psalm 29:2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. The Supremacy and Sovereign power of the Heavenly Father cannot be overemphasized. For we live in times when man has been so distracted away from His maker for even though it seems they call His name, their heart actually is somewhere else. Most people even most believers feel that the Lord is quiet. Yes for many have not learnt to hear His Voice speak to them. It reminds us of the first encounter of the people of Israel with the Lord on Mount Sinai: Exodus 20:18-19 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw [it], they removed, and stood afar off. And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. (Do read chapters 19 and 20) Many who say today "Thus says the Lord", how many of them have really heard the voice of the Lord. ...
