REST ON HIS PROMISES (Psalm 119 pt 4)

-
Psalms 119:49-50
Remember your promise to me; it is my only hope.
Your promise revives me; it comforts me in all my troubles.

What do we hold on to as believers? God's word, yes His promises, this is our motivation. It is where our trust is. It is not in man, for we know that man can fail but God remains faithful.

Psalm 20:7
Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

It is because we know this that we do not foolishly work in sin, for it is lack of faith that breeds sin. That is why the enemy starts by tampering with our faith.

Psalms 119:54-56
Your decrees have been the theme of my songs wherever I have lived.
I reflect at night on who you are, O Lord; therefore, I obey your instructions.
This is how I spend my life: obeying your commandments.

Therefore we have no business being afraid of the wicked. Neither do we fear man, no matter how high they think they are. For we have respect for all men. No one should play the God in our lives. For if God is your King all earthly kings must bow!

The Lord has released mercy into the world, we who have been saved are testimonies to this. Just as scriptures says, the Heavenly Father does not desire the death of a sinner but that the sinner repents. So do not fret because that evil person is not punished immediately, God’s mercy is at work, however there is always a time for judgment.

Psalms 119:63-64
I am a friend to anyone who fears you—anyone who obeys your commandments.
O Lord, your unfailing love fills the earth; teach me your decrees.

Our job is to learn the ways of the Lord and live by them for we are His chosen generation. Halleluyah.

Remember His promises:

John 14:3
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.

He dwells with us now by His Spirit. After here we will dwell with Him forever, when every pain and worry will be gone. We then rule with Him forever. Halleluyah.

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
