MY FRIEND

-

Psalm 55:22

Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.


King David was a man who encountered a lot of challenges, he had enemies around him. Those from outside understandably, however those from inside were the greater pain.


For those who oppose you and come out as enemies you could be cautious of, however what of those within your circle, who eat with you, plan with you even go to the house of the Lord with you, your own siblings and maybe even parents!


Psalms 55:12-14

It is not an enemy who taunts me— I could bear that.

It is not my foes who so arrogantly insult me— I could have hidden from them.

Instead, it is you—my equal, my companion and close friend.

What good fellowship we once enjoyed as we walked together to the house of God.


This is the real betrayal when those of your own household or kindred rise against you or look at you or treat you with disdain.


Psalms 55:20-21,23

As for my companion, he betrayed his friends; he broke his promises.

His words are as smooth as butter, but in his heart is war.

His words are as soothing as lotion, but underneath are daggers!

But you, O God, will send the wicked down to the pit of destruction.

Murderers and liars will die young,

but I am trusting you to save me.


The issue is that people feel that they could do wrong and get away with it. The truth is that they would not. Woe unto all betrayers, they may seem to rejoice now but their lot is wrath and very much so. Do not have a pact with them.


2 Timothy 3:1-4

You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times.

For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred.

They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good.

They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God.


Psalm 55:19

God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.


Many have stereotyped themselves to become hard and unloving because of betrayals, but wisdom is not to be shaped by the error of others but to become stronger and wiser. Your love and trust in God should not be a function of what people say or do. They should be from your faith in Him.


Definitely all acts of betrayal will be paid for, the Lord will deal with them. WE AS BELIEVERS MUST HAVE NO PART IN THIS WICKEDNESS!


Psalm 55:23

But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.


2Thessalonians 3:13

But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.


Let us never forget who our true friend is, no matter what man does, we look up to the Heavenly Father.


For friends and supposed family may not be trusted but One true friend stands, the One who made you and to whom you will return.


I know Him as the changer of times and seasons (the watchers proclaimed this in the time of Daniel), He is the beginning and the end, the first and the last and He is the judge of all. He is my true friend and I do what I do because of Him. He is the only One who will never be my foe. Glory!


Do not say, how can I be so bold to say that, no, the Lord Himself initiated the friendship:


John 15:15

I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me. 


I am a friend of God. Glory!


Psalm 55:22

Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.


Dear Heavenly Father You are good, we give You all glory, honour and praise. You are my Lord, King and also my best friend. No matter what those who say they are my friends do, You are the One who will remain faithful to me forever. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


We are victorious.


Love

@the watcher.

GOOD LIKE YOUR FATHER

-
Genesis 1:31 Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good! And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day. There is one thing we must have in mind, "it is the desire of our Heavenly Father that we should be like Him". He is good and He expects us to be good, we follow in His good nature. One of the attributes of the Heavenly Father's goodness is in the perfection of His work. What can be said of your works? Listen, the Psalmist sang: Psalms 118:23 This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see. Look at those who walked with the Heavenly Father in scriptures, their works were wonderful to behold, is it when they worked in spiritual positions, Joseph and Daniel in interpretation of dreams and giving wise counsel; or the prophets when they delivered God's message or did miracles. Their works were commendable when they were in political positions, Joseph and Daniel are still very good examples, no blemish was found in their work...

OUR GIVING

-
John 12:3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. What exactly have we sacrificed for Christ? We talk of all His goodness, love and unmerited favour, how have we shown appreciation for the grace He has given us? Do we really know what the Lord has done for us? Psalm 139:17-18 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!  [If] I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. Psalm 30:12 To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. People ask, Christ is not physically here with us, how can I pour my precious oil on Him? This is what He said: Matthew 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these...

NEVER TAKE REVENGE!

-
Romans 12:19 Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge;I will pay them back,” says the lord. Offences would surely come as we continue our journey here on earth. One thing we must learn to do is never to act when we are angry. Almost one hundred percent of the time, if we reflect on it, we find that we regret our actions. It is not that we do not get angry, the bible teaches that even when we do, it should not lead us to sin. Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: If an enemy hurts us, well what do we expect from an enemy. However betrayal is when a friend intentionally hurts us. Check it! What makes us think it is intentional? So better to talk about it than be silent! Luke 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. If it hurts, then talk about it, it is always a wonder what we discover when we tal...
