ENJOYING GOD’S BLESSINGS

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

If not that man rebelled against God, we would not have had to contend with the difficulties of the flesh, for God said:

Genesis 1:31
 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

We should be reminded that the very nature of God is "Goodness"

Luke 18:19
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none [is] good, save one, [that is], God.

Who declares this nature - Yeshua, Jesus the Christ.

Colossians 2:9
 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

John 1:18
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].

Our Heavenly Father is the Father of light and in Him there is no shadow of turning:

James 1:17
 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Thus when we read His promises and blessings in the old testament, we should know that this is His nature.

Some say He was referring only to the children of Israel, however we are the Israel of God:

Galatians 6:16
And as many as walk according to this rule, peace [be] on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

So when David says "The Lord is my shepherd", we declare the same too.

Just as Christ came as fulfilment of the law, all God's promises are yea and amen in Christ Jesus:

2 Corinthians 1:20
For all the promises of God in him [are] yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

So we freely declare His promises:

Psalm 23:6
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Psalm 91:10
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Psalm 91:16
With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.

Glory to God we bask in His blessings:

Yes

For we know that...

Proverbs 10:22
 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

Halleluyah, all glory to the Heavenly Father.

He calls us blessed.

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
