YOUR COVENANT

-
Nehemiah 9:38
And because of all this we make a sure [covenant], and write [it]; and our princes, Levites, [and] priests, seal [unto it].

As we end this year, we would be seeking the Lord's face for so many areas of our life. Wisely so. However, what should the Lord be expecting from us in the coming year. What is our own end of the covenant?

To get God's action, we go beyond the asking to begin to make covenants.

Strong men of God lived by covenants:

Job 31:1
I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?

Daniel 1:8
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank:

Joshua 24:15b
but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

What do we need to make right? What needs to be corrected? What do we need to stop doing? What do we need to start doing?

For the people of the Lord become better by the day, as they increase in all things, they also increase in knowledge of God.

Colossians 1:9-10
For this cause we also, since the day we heard [it], do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

We also go beyond ourselves and reach out to all that the Lord has kept under our care.

Yes, our children also, for those under our care who have not grown to make their own decisions, should be given the right foundation. Even the grown must continually edify and be edified. Praise God.

Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Hebrews 3:13
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

For as we finish this year, we must prepare to increase in the knowledge of God as we increase in all things.

Jude 1:20
But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit,

We search out loopholes and fill them up with the divine, for we make no room for the unfruitful works of darkness:

Ephesians 5:11
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [them].

Glory to God.

We understand that the Lord is interested in the sincerity of heart and purpose of the believer. For we were saved in truth, we must live in truth.

We enter the new year with covenants of obedience, ready to fulfil the will of the Lord in all things. So help us Good Lord.

Jude 1:24-25
Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault.
All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! 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
