POWER BELONGS TO GOD (Psalm 62)

-
Psalm 62:1
 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him [cometh] my salvation.

How lovely the message translation begins this Psalm.

Psalms 62:1 (message)
God, the one and only -  I'll wait as long as he says. Everything I need comes from him, so why not?

The next comes with the introduction of Christ:

Psalms 62:2
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken.

Yes the rock, the foundation:

1 Corinthians 10:4
 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

1 Corinthians 3:11
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

For in these days there is a great falling away, confusions, heresies, lies, lustful desires, manipulations. HOW MANY STILL STAND?

Psalms 62:5
Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him.

What really is your persecution, how many work against you?

Psalms 62:3
So many enemies against one man— all of them trying to kill me.
To them I’m just a broken-down wall or a tottering fence.

The truth is that the real battles God fights for us, even before we ask. The powers that really war against the brethren most of us don't even bother about. We dwell on phantoms.

Those you think you face are not as lethal as those He has already overcome for you.

For it is not overemphasized to say that power belongs to God.

Psalms 62:11
God has spoken plainly, and I have heard it many times:
Power, O God, belongs to you;

So many make a lot of noise, be they common or mighty in the earth. WE KNOW WHERE THE REAL POWER IS!

Psalms 62:9
Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind, and the powerful are not what they appear to be. If you weigh them on the scales, together they are lighter than a breath of air.

It is this error that make people steal, extort others and worship wealth:

Psalms 62:10
Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing.
And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the center of your life.

God's authority surpasses any other, this is the main reason Christ taught prayers as "thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven".

Never forget where the real authority lies, satan and his ruling caucus have already been defeated.

Jesus won, so we win. Glory to God.

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
