GOD WHO PROSPERS US

-

 Psalms 106:1

Praise the LORD! Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

As an episcopal, one of my best hymn was one written by Matthias Claudius in 1782 and given melody by Johann A. P. Schulz in 1800.

The first verse and chorus goes thus:

We plough the fields, and scatter the good seed on the land;
But it is fed and watered by God's almighty hand:
He sends the snow in winter, the warmth to swell the grain,
The breezes and the sunshine, and soft refreshing rain.

 All good gifts around us
Are sent from heaven above,
Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord For all His love.

It is truly the Lord that causes man to prosper. Of course we know that the enemy controls the world system and many have fallen under his deceit, however we never forget that:

Psalm 24:1
The earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein.

It was man who actually submitted himself to the enemy's dominion when he acted in disobedience. For God said:

Genesis 1:27-28
So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.”

We relinquished our authority over the earth however God sought us again through Abraham, Israel and then the final solution the revelation of Himself through His word, yes His Son, Yeshua, Jesus the Christ.

For no matter what the enemy claims, he only occupies temporarily, his system will surely collapse totally for he has already been condemned. He operates on lies and dangles the virtual world for us to see.

But we are not deceived we know who has the power, He who gives true riches and wealth, that does not end in this world but goes beyond into eternity.

Matthew 6:20
 "but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.

His blessings has no sorrow attached to it.

Proverbs 10:22
The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.

Come on, we know where the power is, we give glory to whom glory is due.

Ephesians 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

Give Him praise daily, don't get distracted or fooled. Never let impatience make you give glory to the false one.

Come let us keep praising Him for He has made us glorious.

Psalm 89:52
Blessed be the LORD forevermore! Amen and Amen.

Yes

Psalm 115:18
But we will bless the LORD From this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD!

He calls us blessed.

Love

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
