GUARD IT

-
1 Chronicles 26:1,16
These are the divisions of the gatekeepers:From the Korahites, there was Meshelemiah son of Kore, of the family of Abiasaph.
Shuppim and Hosah were assigned the west gate and the gateway leading up to the Temple. Guard duties were divided evenly.


We cannot take for granted the security of what is important to us. I will say "what you don't guard you tend to lose".


We do not have to wait till we are invaded for us to build gatekeepers around our treasures, if we keep the gates guarded, any invader would meet an opposition and they would flee.


Yes it was the temple of God, yet gatekeepers had to be assigned. The same for the palace and the city gates. Military personnel from families of each tribe were assigned to guard the gates using a roster.


Listen, the first place to guard is your heart:

Proverbs 4:23
Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.


Be careful what you allow to get in, mind what you listen to, see/read and what you meditate on or say. Run away from gossipers, backbiters and those who cause discord among brethren or families.


Many things want your attention but not all of them are good for you.
They may come as friends, enemies, passersby or even family, anyone or anything could be the source, we must be attentive in the spirit to know when to excuse ourselves. Cut them off, save yourself. Selah 


Guard your time from time wasters/ stealers.


Guard your goals, visions and plans.


Guard your home, many forces are available to destroy marriages, separate spouses and corrupt children.


Guard your income, be it business or in any form of employment.


Guard your investment and assets don't give everyone access. Don't eat the profit with the capital.


Guard your body, take care of it don't mark or stain it, mind what you eat or drink, exercise it, clean it up always. Remember that prevention is always better than cure.


The list goes on.


What you don't guard do not be surprised when you lose it!


Who will separate us from our God?


God Himself guards His own.


Psalms 91:14
The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. 
I will protect those who trust in my name.


Be on guard.


Help us Good Lord.


PRAYER 
Loving Father, help me guard all that is important in my life, starting from my heart. I will not be robbed of my treasures, instead I will continue to prosper and increase in all good things. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love 
@the watcher.

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

IF HE SAID IT, HE WILL DO IT

Joshua 21: 43-45 So the Lord gave to Israel all the land he had sworn to give their ancestors, and they took possession of it and settled there. And the Lord gave them rest on every side, just as he had solemnly promised their ancestors. None of their enemies could stand against them, for the Lord helped them conquer all their enemies. Not a single one of all the good promises the Lord had given to the family of Israel was left unfulfilled; everything he had spoken came true. If the Lord promised it be rest assured that He will bring it to pass. The One He gave the promise to believed it whole heatedly and proved it by His obedience. The same with his son and further on to his grandson. Hebrews 11:8-9 It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going. And even when he reached the land God promised him, he lived there by faith—for he was like a foreig
