INSUBORDINATION (Psalm 53)

-
Psalms 53:1
Only fools say in their hearts,  “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good!

It is eazy to ascribe this Psalm to atheists. Well, they are atheists, what do we expect? They have already decided their stand, "I do not believe in God".

Now the issue borders on those who claim to believe and yet act and live as if they don't!

Yes Psalm 53 is the Psalm Paul was referring to when he talked about all men counted as sinners that we can then be saved under grace.

Romans 3:10-12
As the Scriptures say,
“No one is righteous— not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless.
No one does good, not a single one.”

Then the wretchedness of man is revealed, God now redeems man by his faith:

Romans 3:30-31
There is only one God, and he makes people right with himself only by faith, whether they are Jews or Gentiles.
Well then, if we emphasize faith, does this mean that we can forget about the law? Of course not! In fact, only when we have faith do we truly fulfill the law.

The question is, why should a person who have received such grace, then go ahead to live like those who say "there is no God"?

For your work is a product of your faith. Selah

You cannot just profess it by mouth, you must live what you believe.

Else the consequences of those who do not believe will abound.

Psalms 53:5
Terror will grip them, terror like they have never known before.
God will scatter the bones of your enemies. You will put them to shame, for God has rejected them.

For we live in times when men lead many astray in the name of the Lord. Instead of interceding for the flock and leading them by the Spirit they do otherwise:

Psalms 53:4
Will those who do evil never learn? They eat up my people like bread and wouldn’t think of praying to God.

All these disrespect to the Heavenly Father must stop unless they desire His wrath.

We must remember that no matter how low or high we are, our hierarchy begins with the Heavenly Father, He is above every other authority. Hope we know what that means?

May we never be faulted for insubordination. The Lord will help us.

2Thessalonians 3:5
And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

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
