THE HARD PART OF BLESSINGS

-

Mark 10:30

But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with PERSECUTIONS; and in the world to come eternal life.


Yes we are promised a hundred fold increase, blessings on blessings.


However the blessing has it's bones.


We ask why the persecution? 

Why do I have all these haters? 

Why am I envied? 

Why do these ones trouble me? etc.


Well the truth is just as the Messiah said, "it comes with the package".


Remember:


Proverbs 10:22

The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.


The persecution comes from outside, from the enemy and those who allow themselves to be used by him, either willingly or in ignorance.


So don't let it bother you, your joy is not a function of others but from within. For:


Habakkuk 3:18

Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.


Always remembering that:


Romans 8:31

What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who [can be] against us?


Is anyone troubling you now? 


Rejoice in the blessing, let those who decide to hate or trouble you carry their own burden. Stay on God's love. Remember we are still on earth God will always arise on Your behalf. Selah


1 Peter 5:10

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you].


Or could you be troubling anyone? Take caution don't be a fool, never place yourself as an enemy of anyone whom God loves. You then make yourself an enemy of God. Stop, repent, be wise!


May we receive wisdom to continue our journey here as winners, pleasing the Lord in all things. O help us Good Lord.


PRAYER

Loving Father, help us Lord to enjoy Your blessings with no sorrow. May all that want to bring us pain or any form of evil be cut off. We will not be the cause of sorrow to anyone. It is all about pleasing You Lord in all things. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

@the watcher.

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 ...

BY HIS MERCY

-
Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. As we go on our christian journey challenges will surely arise. No one was promised a smooth sail.  1 Peter 4:12  Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: However we must be encouraged to stay strong especially in those times when it seems we may want to fall or give up. Remembering that it is not an option. We have His mercy. We never grow too great that we no longer need the mercy of God, everyone of us, no matter the level we are, still needs His mercy as we go on. We of course remember that we have not gotten thus far on our own strength. No, it is the Lord's mercy. Psalm 106:1 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. The tide could rise, the storms could roar, we could even face internal crises, let us remember that we...

THE MISERY OF THE DRUNKARD

-
Isaiah 28:1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty [is] a fading flower, which [are] on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine! Being drunk is an attribute related to losing control of one's mind due to the strong influence of a substance such as alcohol. There was a woe against the drunkards of Ephraim as we see in Isaiah 28, the rebuke was more on priests, prophets and leaders: Isaiah 28:7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble [in] judgment. See Proverbs: Proverbs 31:4&5 [It is] not for kings, O Lemuel, [it is] not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted. In a literal sense of being drunk, no ...
