TEACH THEM

-

Deuteronomy 11:2,5,7,19

Keep in mind that I am not talking now to your children, who have never experienced the discipline of the Lord your God or seen his greatness and his strong hand and powerful arm.

“Your children didn’t see how the Lord cared for you in the wilderness until you arrived here.

But you have seen the Lord perform all these mighty deeds with your own eyes!

Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.


Moses told the people that his message was to those who were there from the exodus from Egypt. Though they were young then, they were old enough to see God's mighty power. They witnessed God's power as they journeyed and also saw their fathers perish because of rebellion.


Now, those young ones then are now the elders of today, they have the duty to teach the children.


Are you a parent, are you an elder in the group or church, are you a leader?


You have a responsibility!


You who have gone through the years as a believer should be a teacher now, leading the young ones aright teaching them the word and showing them good examples.


It is not just a title but a responsibility for every one who has matured in the faith.


We must understand that there is only two sides to the coin:


Deuteronomy 11:26-28

“Look, today I am giving you the choice between a blessing and a curse!

You will be blessed if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today.

But you will be cursed if you reject the commands of the Lord your God and turn away from him and worship gods you have not known before.


We must understand this and let our children and those under us understand too.


Once you come to the Father it is His way that should prevail not that of the world.


Deuteronomy 11:31-32

For you are about to cross the Jordan River to take over the land the lord your God is giving you. When you take that land and are living in it,

you must be careful to obey all the decrees and regulations I am giving you today.


We must live for Him and as watchers, lead the younger ones in faith to do likewise.


Enough of playing around and chasing vanities.


We will fulfill our purpose, we will lead the children aright.


Help us Good Lord.


PRAYER

Lord I choose obedience to you, I will remain faithful and I will lead my children thus. Father You are glorified in my life forever. Glory to Your name Lord.


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
