BORN AGAIN, A PEOPLE OF PRAISE (Psalm 102)

-
Psalm 102:18
This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

We speak of the new birth, yes, for man groaned in pain, just like the children of Israel groaned in Egypt, where they were in bondage:

Psalms 102:1-2,8-9
Lord, hear my prayer! Listen to my plea!
Don’t turn away from me in my time of distress.
Bend down to listen, and answer me quickly when I call to you.
My enemies taunt me day after day.They mock and curse me.
I eat ashes for food. My tears run down into my drink

The whole earth needed redemption, man needed to be set free.

Psalms 102:19-20
Tell them the Lord looked down from his heavenly sanctuary.
He looked down to earth from heaven to hear the groans of the prisoners, to release those condemned to die.

And He did act!

Luke 4:18-19
The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

Psalm 102:21
To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

Halleluyah.

For the Heavenly Father is not limited by time or space. All including heaven and earth will pass away, however He will remain. Thus, because He lives we live.

Psalms 102:24-27
But I cried to him, “O my God, who lives forever, don’t take my life while I am so young!
Long ago you laid the foundation of the earth and made the heavens with your hands.
They will perish, but you remain forever; they will wear out like old clothing.
You will change them like a garment and discard them.
But you are always the same; you will live forever.

Glory to God.

For no matter what we face on earth we know that we are more than this. We have assurance both in this life and the life to come. Thus we praise. David understood this, he was a man of praise. Thus even when crises arose in his house he yet overcame.

We secure ourselves and our generation when we put our trust in the Lord. Yes, when we dwell in His presence. Halleluyah.

Psalms 102:28
The children of your people will live in security.
Their children’s children will thrive in your presence.”

Jude 1:24-25
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present [you] faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
To the only wise God our Saviour,[be] glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

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
