THE FOOLISHNESS OF PRIDE

Psalm 39:4 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it [is; that] I may know how frail I [am]. What will make a man so proud, to think so highly of "self", can we estimate what we are, what our flesh/self is worth? Psalm 39 says that at the highest peak of man's achievement, man is still vanity. Psalm 39:5 Behold, thou hast made my days [as] an handbreadth; and mine age [is] as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state [is] altogether vanity. Selah. Psalms 39:5(NLT) You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath.” How foolish to keep acquiring riches, heaping and heaping them, how foolish are those politicians and people in power who loot and cart away common wealth. How much of it will they spend or enjoy. They die and pass away most times from sicknesses and diseases that money cannot heal them of. They live in pain, falsehood and fear. Worst...

HELP ME GET IT RIGHT

Psalm 38:1 O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. We know that the coming of the Messiah, His death and resurrection brought us out of the bondage of sin and death. This miracle David did not experience so we understand his prayers in Psalm 38. However every wrong doing has its repercussion, for the Lord has put things in place for He is the creator. There is a reward for all our actions be they good or bad. Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Yes, for some, especially those who have given themselves high seats in Heavenly places, think that they are immune to the consequences of their actions. They did beware, for the bible says: Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: David saw the repercussions of his actions, he pleaded for mercy. He knew that those who hated him would take advantage to mock him, he humble...

WHAT A MIRAGE!

Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass. We learn from David that all is not what it seems. Truly there are those the Lord granted wealth, people that may not have known Him yet He allows them to succeed. People like Nebuchadnezzar of old times who God allowed to rule and conquer. We have some of such still with us today. My belief is that everyone is born with talents and gifts, however what you do with it is up to you. It takes an encounter with the Lord to understand that everything we have received is for good works and we will account for it. The wise thing to do is to serve the Lord. This is not just going to church but shining the light of God into the world. Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the just [is] as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Isaiah 60:1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LOR...

WOE TO THE WICKED

Psalm 36:4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way [that is] not good; he abhorreth not evil. It never pays to be counted as the wicked, for the author of life and judge of all has prepared judgment for anyone who has chosen the path of unrighteousness. What excuse does one have to walk in the path of unrighteousness? For truly it is a choice. For all temptation is common to man: 1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it]. Thus "you are inexcusable o man". Why should anyone choose wickedness, when the Heavenly Father shows so much mercy? Psalm 36:5 Thy mercy, O LORD, [is] in the heavens; [and] thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds. For all that comes out of wickedness is punishment. See how evil it could be: Psalm 36:3-4 The words of h...

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 ...
