LEARN FROM SCRIPTURES

-

2 Timothy 3:16-17

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.

God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.


We have looked at the fifty chapters recorded in the book of Genesis.


We learnt of the creation, Adam, Enoch, the flood, Noah, Abraham up till Joseph and much more.


What is our response to all these records? What have we learnt? What changes are we ready to make?


We see:


*The consequences of doing wrong


*The repercussion of wrong choices


and 


* The blessings of doing right.


We see what happens when a person dedicates their life to the Lord. Also how the Lord can turn a slave overnight to a king.


Scriptures says:


Galatians 6:7

Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.


Galatians 6:7 

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.


So we understand what the book of Proverbs records:


Proverbs 3:5-7

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.

Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. 

Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.


Notice how it seemed people kept being farther away from God after the fall, God's contact with man seemed to draw farther and farther apart. This actually continued, till when God revealed Himself again via Moses. God ensured that man was not totally away from Him. Israel was the link that will keep that bond, though they just couldn't be faithful, yet God kept on with them because it was not just about them it was about the whole world. Christ had to be revealed.


Recall Jacob's prophesy for Judah:


Genesis 49:10

The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from his descendants, 

until the coming of the one to whom it belongs, the one whom all nations will honor.


All led to the salvation of the whole world through the Word of God Himself, Yeshua HaMaschiac, Jesus the Christ 


Glory to God.


May we say like David:


Psalms 119:11

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


Glory to God forevermore.


May we always please the Lord. He will continue to bless and keep us both in this life and the life to come.


The word will transform us for the better.


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
