REMEMBER GOD'S GOODNESS

-

Psalm 103:2

Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:

The whole of Psalm 103 is worth reading this morning:


We must remember that it is God . . .

* who heals your diseases
* who protects you
* who provides for you
* has the power that cannot be contested
* sacrificed His Son for us
* calls us back when we were lost
* forgives our sins

For in God:

* our families are blessed
* our work prospers
* we are above principalities and powers
* we are gods
* we are healed.

Some say it is easy to praise God when all is well. I won't really say so, some dwell on enjoying the blessings, they forget to give thanks.

Others forget to give thanks when they face new challenges. They forget all the times God has been good to them!

We could get so preoccupied with the issue and forget who has been good to us.

Lamentations 3:22
Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not.

If we remember His goodness then we should trust that He who did it for us in time past is able to yet to do even more for us.

When doubt comes, when fear arises when reports come to shake our fear or when temptation comes to lead us to sin we should remember. . .

Romans 8:37
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

For we who have been born again, we cannot afford to forget that God has placed us in a higher place. Victory is already ours.

Ephesians 2:6
and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

So the pain might be there, you may feel betrayed, it may look as though everyone has abandoned you. They may NOT remember you when there are good opportunity etc. Listen, your eyes should be above, the one who started the good work will surely finish it. If humans will be used He will move them.

It is always a win-win situation for those who put their trust in the Lord, they do exploits.

Glory to God forever.

It will be a wonderful week.

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
