REMINISCE (Psalm 105)

-
Psalm 105:2
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.

This Psalm is a narration of God's victory and deliverance for Israel, His righteous judgment.

Psalm 105:5
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

All the wondrous things the Lord has done for us is NOT for us to live in sin and become carefree, He is faithful that we also be faithful.

Psalm 105:4
Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

We reminisce that we do not forget what the Lord has done for us, we give Him thanks and take full advantage. He preserves us for good works, not for wickedness. To do His will and not to walk carelessly.

Psalm 105:14-15
He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
[Saying], Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

God remembered His promise to Abraham, He kept His own end of the bargain. What was expected of the people of Israel?

Psalm 105:45
That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.

The same way, we reminisce God's faithfulness to us. Beginning from the sacrifice,
the Messiah came from the Father and paid the price that gave us the right to be sons. What is expected of us? All his preservation, provision and protection over the years. What is expected of us?

John 15:4-5
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

We are to bear fruit

John 15:8
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

We live in obedience:

John 15:10, 12, 17
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
These things I command you, that ye love one another.

All the wondrous things the Lord has done for us was out of His love. John 3:16 says it was His love that prompted the sacrificed of His Son.

He thus expects us to live by LOVE.

As we reminisce His love, let us look into our hearts. What do we find there? Love! or something else.

For when the love of God is not in our hearts, don't be fooled, the love of something else is there. Selah

1John 3:11
For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

Love is not just words, it is in deed, it is a lifestyle.

1John 3:18
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

Let us rejoice with the brethren, reminiscing all the glorious things God has done for us. Let us open our heart to love, clearing every hate, malice or unfaithfulness.

For where there is love, sin cannot reign!

He loved us. We should abide in love.

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
