IF YOU OBEY (Psalm 132)

-
Psalm 132:12
If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.

It is so easy to claim privileges, wanting to partake in the good things. Oh God promised this and that, however are we careful enough to read the "terms and conditions"?

For the same place where the blessings were declared, curses were also revealed.

Deuteronomy 28:1,2&15 (read the whole chapter)

Obedience was the condition of the blessings while disobedience was that of the curses.

Yes in the New Testament we understand that Christ became a curse for all who believe. We must then understand that we by our own foolishness provoke any curse we may encounter. For if grace has been revealed and you decide to still walk in wickedness, then judgement is what awaits such a person.

Read Matthew chapter five(5), it begins with the blessing part. . . Blessed is the. ..
Then when we get to verse 21, He begins to talk of judgment against those who kill, curse etc.

We must understand that what makes us God's children is in our obedience, for disobedience is rebellion.

Look at the Psalm of today, David's generation was promised to rule, however it had the condition of obedience. We read how Rehoboam, grandson of David, forsook the way of the Lord thus loosing ten cities, he could only reign over Judah. Plus persecution from Egypt:

2 Chronicles 12:1-2
And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.
And it came to pass, [that] in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD,

Are we living in disobedience? It is time to repent.

Have we been living in obedience? We should stay strong and never cease to give thanks. Never believe you are above temptation.

The Lord will strengthen us to live in obedience. All weaknesses He will turn to strength. May all we do please Him. Remember, HE LOVES US SO MUCH!

See, great things are yet coming. This is no time to give up or get tired. We will enjoy fellowship with His Spirit. Halleluyah.

No matter all the noise and confusion in the world, know the Lord yourself. He saved you as a person, He also relates to you as a person.

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
