STILL ON THE PSALMS

-
Psalms 23:1
 The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want.

Psalm 23 is one of the Psalms that became an anthem in most christian homes just like the Lord's prayer. Though some new testament teachings categorize the Lord's prayer as being under the old testament, before salvation was revealed, that is before the ressurrection and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, it still remains potent and the only full prayer recorded that Jesus taught his disciples.

Ofcourse they asked to be taught just as John the baptiser taught his own disciples!

Luke 11:1
 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

This prayer many orthodox churches such as the beloved Anglican communion still do till this day.

It is a good thing to teach our children and new converts to recite these psalms though in the power of the Holy Spirit, remember David spake by the Holy Spirit.

Mark 12:36 (BBE)
 David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put those who are against you under your feet.

Be it Psalm chapter 1 that talks about the salvation of man and the righteousness of Jesus Christ further to chapter 2 that concluded with the revelation of Jesus the Christ as the judge on to chapter 119 that reveals the word as light. The Psalms are potent spiritual digests that should be part of our nutrients.

As you worship with believers today and the psalms are read, eat it in the spirit the deep glory God granted that David revealed to the world. Let its power flow through you. Worship God in a realm higher than He did.

Let it be part of your home diet and even include it as you are led in your daily devotions.

Remember our fathers hoped and worked for this. We are born to enjoy it and pass on to others.

God bless you.

Love
@ the watcher

DO YOU STILL SEE?

Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
