REJOICE THE LORD IS KING

-

Psalms 124:8

Our help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.


Rejoice, the Lord is King:

Your Lord and King adore!

Rejoice, give thanks and sing,

And triumph evermore.

Lift up your heart,

Lift up your voice!

Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!


That is a hymn authored by Charles Wesley in 1744.


What would have been our situation if Not that the Lord is on our side? The enemy would have really dealt with us:


Psalms 124:1-3

What if the Lord had not been on our side? 

Let all Israel repeat:

What if the Lord had not been on our side when people attacked us?

They would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger.


Do you know how the enemies feel when they see us enjoy redemption and they cannot have a part in it.


Psalms 8:4,6,9

what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?

You gave them charge of everything you made, putting all things under their authority—

O  Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!


Why do you think the enemy walketh about seeking whom to devour?


Some become so conscious of the enemies' threats that they lose focus of the Almighty. No, we should be so conscious of the Almighty that the enemies threats will have no effect on us.


Isaiah 54:17

But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. 

You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. 

These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord; their vindication will come from me. I, the Lord, have spoken!


This verse tells us of God's promise to protect us from two venoms of the enemy - direct attack and accusation.


So we really should rejoice for the Lord is King. See the second verse of the hymn:


Jesus, the Savior, reigns,

The God of truth and love;

When He has purged our stains,

He took his seat above;

Lift up your heart,

Lift up your voice!

Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!


What Christ Jesus did for us was a great bewilderment to the enemies they can never get over it.


They cannot toss us here and there anymore for the victory Christ Jesus won for us is uncontestable.


Oh what joy for that the Lord is King over my life, it is victory all the way.


John 15:7,9

But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!

“I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love.


So no matter what it seems, let nothing steal your joy. Rejoice, the Lord has you covered.


Whether in the midst of brethren, your family, in your closet, at work, in your neighborhood, in or out of your country - rejoice! 


For God loves you.


Philippians 4:4

Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice!


Glory to God forevermore.


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
