STAY IN THE WORD (Psalm 119, part 1)

-
Psalm 119:9 BETH.
Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed [thereto] according to thy word.

Psalm 119 is a praise to the word of God, it testifies of the power of the word. It is the light, it breeds righteousness, it is the power of God. For through His Word all things were created, in His word were ordinances kept in the old covenant and through His word we are made clean in the new covenant.

The evidence of our love of God is our obedience. What do we obey? The Word?!

Psalm 119:2-3
Blessed [are] they that keep his testimonies, [and that] seek him with the whole heart.
They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

For it is by dwelling in His Word that we overcome sin, in seeking Him with our whole heart that we have no room for the flesh.

Psalms 119:4-6
You have charged us to keep your commandments carefully.
Oh, that my actions would consistently reflect your decrees!
Then I will not be ashamed when I compare my life with your commands.

The word is the mirror by which we see ourselves to know if we are properly dressed, need amendment or need a complete make over.

To please God you must know His words and work in them:

Psalms 119:11
I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

For it is by the word the we build faith, for faith cometh by the word.

Romans 10:17
So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

How do you pray, how do you worship without the word?

Psalms 119:15-16
I will study your commandments and reflect on your ways.
I will delight in your decrees and not forget your word.

Halleluyah, stay in the word.

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
