NO REST FOR THE WICKED!

-

Isaiah 57:21

[There is] no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

It has always been this way, the wicked are always faced with God's wrath.


When the righteous leave this earth it is to peace. They enter a rest waiting for the time when their reward will be revealed. Those of us still here, continue either in doing right or doing wrong. However, one thing is sure those who are alive at the time of the return of the Lord would have tested part of the tribulation, just a while, then they would be caught up with other saints to joy everlasting. But those who reject the Lord awaits judgement and sorrow that is unthinkable.


Isaiah 57:1-2
The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth [it] to heart: and merciful men [are] taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil [to come].
He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, [each one] walking [in] his uprightness.


Revelation 22:11-22
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
There is no good in being wicked, it has never paid well and it never will. The Lord leaves the wicked to calamities and sorrow. It may seem delayed to the watcher but you can't tell the sorrow, the pain and restlessness inside.


Isaiah 57:20
the wicked [are] like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.


Psalms 1:4-6
But not the wicked! They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.
They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly.
For the lord watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.


We are not of the wicked, we of the righteous.


May the Lord save our nation from evil and wicked rulers. The godly shall take over the thrones. Our prayers are answered. Glory to God.


We dwell in Christ's righteousness.


PRAYER
Loving Father, keep me and all those who truly believe, in Your righteousness. We have no part in evil or wickedness. We follow Your way O Lord. There is no condemnation for us but eternal rest and prosperity. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love
@the watcher.

CHRIST ALONE

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. We really need to decide what way, what life and whose philosophy we would follow. If it is of the Lord, then let us study, get it right and then live it. This, Paul was charging in his second letter to Timothy: 2Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (HOW WILL THE HOLY SPIRIT LEAD US WHEN THERE IS NO WORD IN US FOR HIM TO WORK WITH? John 14:26) Too many things are speaking to us today that it seems the idols are having their way. Unless we drop the idols we cannot grab the full impact of who we are: 1John 5:21  Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. Who and what have we been worshipping? Is it our daily needs just like the people of the world have? Matthew 6: 24-33 Is it money, which Jesus said we would have to choo...

TRADE WISELY

-
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Many have traded their joy chasing over material things and the pleasures and satisfaction of the world. The question is "is it worth it?". Yes we must earn, work and keep improving day after day but we must remember "nothing is free". We must pay a price. So, what are we ready to sacrifice? Some have sacrificed, their: * health * peace of mind * children * marriage * calling * ministry * good name All in the bid to get material things. 2Timothy 4:10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica-- Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. There is always a process, we would get into trouble when we try to use the shortcut, to get it by all means and immediately. Let us be careful of what exchange we make! Let us ask like J...

CHRIST'S RULE

-
Isaiah 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. The prophecy on Judah's predicament did not end there, there was the prophecy of the return of the remnant. The end of the days will see a new wave of peace and joyous happiness. It will be characterized with the initial plan of God being fulfilled. Wildness in animals removed, wars will not need to be fought, snakes would no longer be poisonous. Peace would reign. This prophecy displayed salvation in Christ Jesus for the Gentiles.: Isaiah 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. Christ Jesus would also bring about the return of the remnant of the children of Israel from all parts of the earth. It would be like the exit of Israel from the bondage they experienced with Pharaoh in Egypt. No matter how we look ...
