DON'T STAY IN THE WELL

-
Psalm 40:1
I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

The story of the man who was often warned about a well close to his house but didn't listen has two versions to it. The first was that he fell and he didn't survive the fall. The second was that he fell and by favour did not hit his head on the walls but hit water. He was later discovered after many hours, he spent those hours praying for help, he was eventually pulled out.

That one would err is not strange, many have fallen through the journey of life, however the type of fall determines if they would recover or not.

1John 5:17
All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

Sin unto death in this verse does not literally mean that they physically died immediately the sin was committed, many have translated this in relation with Jesus' earlier word on sin against the Holy Spirit, which would not be forgiven. However this topic is talking of errors that lead to death where the one who erred has no hope of recovering. MAY WE NEVER FIND OURSELVES IN SUCH A SITUATION!

We see from David that he, as so many of our earthly fathers, erred and found themselves in horrible wells:

Psalms 40:2
 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, [and] established my goings.

He did not stay quiet or resign to fate, verse one which was our opening verse said he called on the Lord patiently and the Lord heard and as we just read, brought him out of the horrible pit.

No matter what well we may have fallen, we do not just stay in there, we cry out for help.  The Lord who is Yahweh *(with the vowels included). This name actually means "God the merciful"*. He would bring us out and include His healing.

What a loving God we serve!

Hebrews 12:13
And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

We above all else must avoid falling into the well. However, if we err, we must arise, turn to God and receive mercy plus healing.

Are there any who we know have fallen? As the Spirit leads, may we be a channel to reach out and save such.

The Lord will keep us from falling, we would do the right things. We would be safe.

You are blessed. Do have an awesome day. (Speak with the Father)

Love

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
