WHEN YOUR LEADERS TRUST THE LORD (Psalm 21)

-
Psalm 21:1
 The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

The best thing to happen to a people is to have their leader put his trust in the Lord.

Psalm 21:7
For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

The Lord thus fights His battles, and just as David recounts in Psalm 21, woe unto his enemies.

Our country will be prosperous and a joy to live in, if our leaders' hearts were with the Lord.

Many of them who claim to be believers are not true, for indeed they seem to worship something else!

Matthew 7:20
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Thus the prayer for our leaders starts before they are even appointed, elected or enthroned. Then it continues afterwards that they will not fall.

Woe unto those who say they are of the Lord yet treat those they lead unfairly. Stealing from the common wealth, holding back their wages, cheating them, overstretching them and not putting themselves in their place.

Jeremiah 22:13
Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; [that] useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;

Leviticus 19:13
 Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob [him]: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.

Even the Heavenly Father came down to our level to be able to feel what we feel and He thus is able to help us:

Hebrews 4:15
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as [we are, yet] without sin.

It is a terrible thing to take advantage of the people the Lord has put under you. Remember:

Luke 12:48
 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

Are you a leader?

* in government
* by law
* an employer
* a pastor
* head of department/unit
* teacher/lecturer
or even
* a parent

What is your testimony?

As we pray for leaders, make sure you are a good one yourself. For you will surely give account.

The Lord who recognized your leadership also hears the cries of those you lead!

May the Lord send us good leaders. May we be better leaders.

HELP US GOOD LORD.

He calls us blessed.

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
