PROPHESY FROM THE HARP (Psalm 49)

-
Psalms 49:4(NLT)
I listen carefully to many proverbs and solve riddles with inspiration from a harp.

The sons of Korah, who ministered in music understood the power of prophesy. They knew what it was to stay in the place of worship and receive revelations.

Listen to their prophesy of redemption:

Psalms 49:2,6-8
High and low, rich and poor—listen! They trust in their wealth and boast of great riches. Yet they cannot redeem themselves from death by paying a ransom to God.
Redemption does not come so easily, for no one can ever pay enough

See its fulfilment:

1 Timothy 2:5-6
For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus.
He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone.This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time.

Yes, God alone could save man, so He gave Himself, yes His Son, the Word as ransom. He paid our debt. So much love, so great a sacrifice. Yet He did not lose, for with God it is always a win-win. Halleluyah

So what do we learn today? What has happened to our worship, our gathering together? Where is the power, the flow of the Spirit, the prophesies?

Psalm 49 hints it:

Psalms 49:6,16-17
They trust in their wealth and boast of great riches. So don’t be dismayed when the wicked grow rich and their homes become ever more splendid.
For when they die, they take nothing with them. Their wealth will not follow them into the grave.

Something else has taken the place of His love, the desire of wealth, vain things, earthly glory:

1 Corinthians 14:26, 31
How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.

Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Colossians 4:2
Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

Ephesians 5:19
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

What has taken the place of true believers gathering. We must get it right.

The Psalmist said that money could not pay our ransom yet many today run after money. They have allowed mammon take God's place. For where your treasure. . . :

Matthew 6:21
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

For almost all the atrocities committed in the name of the Lord is birthed out of the desire and lust for money.

Remember the Messiah said:

Luke 16:13
“No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”

I see a new wave of the release of God's Spirit, we will not get carried away like the people of old who turned the temple into a market.

We operate a divine wealth, not like the world does. For He said the one He gives us is without sorrow:

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

The Spirit will take over, we will not be found wanting. We will move by the Spirit. We will prophesy again. Nothing will take His place. Halleluyah.

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
