Psalm 107:15-16 Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men! For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder. We must speak of the Lord's goodnYess, what great things He has done for us. If we only know how great our redemption is, WE WE WILL SHOUT OUT TO THE WORLD. Psalm 107:2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say [so], whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; When people experience you, they should experience the Heavenly Father, you should be a reflection of His Son. An evidence of His goodness. Halleluyah. For even when one errs, yes there is a rightful punishment but the Lord is merciful He will hear your cry of repentance and He will show mercy and restore you, even to a better place. Did it result in an ailment? He sent His Word to heal. Oh what a loving Father: Psalms 107:17-21 Some were fools; they rebelled and suffered for their sins. They couldn’t stand the thought of food, and...

Psalm 106:3 Blessed [are] they that keep judgment, [and] he that doeth righteousness at all times. Whenever we look at the error of the children of Israel after all they experienced with the Heavenly Father, we wonder at their unbelief and inconsistency. It did not take much for them to rebel and betray their faithfulness to God. Psalm 106:21-22 They forgot God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt; Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [and] terrible things by the Red sea. After seeing so many miracles and exploits they dared to still seek after idols: Psalm 106:19-20 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image. Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass. It was so bad at the time of Moses that God wanted to wipe them out: Psalm 106:23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy [them]. God's mercy was revealed, howev...

Psalm 105:2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. This Psalm is a narration of God's victory and deliverance for Israel, His righteous judgment. Psalm 105:5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; All the wondrous things the Lord has done for us is NOT for us to live in sin and become carefree, He is faithful that we also would be faithful. Psalm 105:4 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore. We reminisce that we do not forget what the Lord has done for us, we give Him thanks and take full advantage. He preserves us for good works, not for wickedness. To do His will and not to walk carelessly. Psalm 105:14-15 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; [Saying], Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. God remembered His promise to Abraham, He kept His own end of the bargain. What was expected of the people of Israel? Psalm 105:45 That...

Psalm 104:24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. How great our Heavenly Father is, this Psalm lists so much of His splendor. His power and manifestation on the earth and beyond. The creatures that occupy the air, those that occupy the lands and those that occupy the sea. They all reflect the glory of the creator. Even we humans, He also made us inhabit the lands. We are a reflection of the Father's glory. Psalms 104:4-6,10-12,14,18-19,25,30 The winds are your messengers; flames of fire are your servants. You placed the world on its foundation so it would never be moved. You clothed the earth with floods of water, water that covered even the mountains. You make springs pour water into the ravines, so streams gush down from the mountains. They provide water for all the animals, and the wild donkeys quench their thirst. The birds nest beside the streams and sing among the branches of the trees. You cause grass to grow...

Psalm 103:1-2 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, [bless] his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: When things seem to overwhelm us, when we see a challenge here or there, when we feel we are faced with a battle or depression dares to stare, it is good to sit back and remember what the Lord has done for us. Psalms 103:3-5 He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s! Sin has been the great setback for man after the fall, God stepped in to deliver us. Why would we not bless the Lord. Many still ignorantly, foolishly or by intimidation allow sin to reign over them. So called religious leaders keep them in bondage of their sin, some even make money out of them. Placing themselves as the advocate of their sin. All a gimmick for: 1John 2:12, 1:7 I write unto you, little children, because your si...

Psalm 102:18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD. We speak of the new birth, yes, for man groaned in pain, just like the children of Israel groaned in Egypt, where they were in bondage: Psalms 102:1-2,8-9 Lord, hear my prayer! Listen to my plea! Don’t turn away from me in my time of distress. Bend down to listen, and answer me quickly when I call to you. My enemies taunt me day after day.They mock and curse me. I eat ashes for food. My tears run down into my drink The whole earth needed redemption, man needed to be set free. Psalms 102:19-20 Tell them the Lord looked down from his heavenly sanctuary. He looked down to earth from heaven to hear the groans of the prisoners, to release those condemned to die. And He did act! Luke 4:18-19 The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, ...

Psalm 101:6 Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me. When in the position of authority, what will be your testimony, will you bring glory to God or would you make a mess of the privilege? Let us see these two testimonies: 1 Kings 15:9-11 Asa began to rule over Judah in the twentieth year of Jeroboam’s reign in Israel. Asa did what was pleasing in the Lord's sight, as his ancestor David had done. compared to, 1 Kings 16:23,25 Omri began to rule over Israel in the thirty-first year of King Asa’s reign in Judah. He reigned twelve years in all, six of them in Tirzah. But Omri did what was evil in the Lord's sight, even more than any of the kings before him. This was how the reign of kings in Israel and Judah were recorded. Some walked in righteousness others decided to walk in wickedness. What is your testimony? See David's testimony in this Psalm. This was his resolution. Psalms 101:2-...

Psalm 100:3 Know ye that the LORD he [is] God: [it is] he [that] hath made us, and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Seems like sometimes we forget who the Heavenly Father is to us. We could get carried away with all the activities, troubles, blessings and noise of the world that we forget who really matters. Psalm 100 reminds us that we must worship our maker, the author of our existence. Psalms 100:1-2 Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth! Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before Him, singing with joy. One beautiful thing about the coming of the Messiah is our freedom from restrictions, we are no longer barred from the Heavenly Father but we can come and receive grace, we can freely worship. Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. What do we come with? Psalm 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, [and] into his courts with praise: be thankful...

Psalms 99:1-2 The Lord is king! Let the nations tremble! He sits on his throne between the cherubim. Let the whole earth quake! The Lord sits in majesty in Jerusalem, exalted above all the nations. Away from the monumental places, from sites, temples and buildings, the Lord in His Spirit shows us who He is. That He is Spirit and all who worship Him most worship Him thus. Yes, away from the place or site, the Lord's presence is there when we call upon Him in the name of His Son Jesus the Christ. Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Halleluyah, so I do not need to travel far, climb up a mountain, go down a valley, to be in the presence of the Lord. Psalm 99:5 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; [for] he [is] holy. And where is His footstool? Isaiah 66:1. Thus saith the LORD, The heaven [is] my throne, and the earth [is] my footstool: where [is] the house that ye build unto me? and where [is] the p...

Psalm 98:1 O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. Everytime we read of God's salvation from the scriptures we have reason to rejoice. That the Heavenly Father would take us as so important, is something the enemy marvels at, yet can do nothing about it. For even to those who never sought Him, His salvation is yet revealed to, even those who will reject Him. Psalm 98:2 The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen. Man fell, failed the test of being faithful in obedience, for in not being able to trust God and His plan for man, he fell for another who had no good intention for him. John 10:10 The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. Up till today many make the same mistake, for in trying to resist God, they assume they have become of their own, however many do not...

Psalms 97:10 You who love the Lord, hate evil! He protects the lives of his godly people and rescues them from the power of the wicked. Yes, we say again the Heavenly Father is the Greatest, all other deities are idols, for there is only one Supreme God. His own walk in righteousness, for you cannot say you love the Lord and then hate your fellow being for no cause. 1John 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. The Heavenly Father is the Mighty one who dwells in unapproachable light, dark clouds surrounds Him, woe unto Him who does not fear and reverence Him. For even when other powers saw Christ they cried out for they know where the real power is. Psalms 97:1-6 The Lord is king! Let the earth rejoice! Let the farthest coastlands be glad. Dark clouds surround him.  Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. Fire spreads ahead of him and bu...

Psalms 96:4 Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be feared above all gods. Man has from the fall always been dependent on a higher being. The dying body knows that it cannot sustain itself, and the breathed soul desires its immortality. An idol in one definition is: A graven image or representation of anything that is revered, or believed to convey spiritual power. Yes they do exist, powers and forces who control various places, furthermore are fallen angels, and offspring of powers they try to control and influence different parts of the earth. However what does this Psalm say about them? Psalms 96:5 The gods of other nations are mere idols, but the Lord made the heavens! There is only one supreme being, the Heavenly Father Himself. Who revealed Himself to Abraham down the line to Moses and continued through Israel to reach the whole world. He is above every idol, whatever name or position they try to give it. Krishna, Allah, Buddah, Zeus, Brahma, Ganesha, Mahavira...

Psalm 95:1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. We understand that: 2Timothy 3:16&17 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. Therefore from the study of the compilation of Psalms, we learn from the walk of men, prophets and kings of old with God, their mistakes, their exploits and God's revelations through them. For the revelations to them was not just for their time but for times to come. This is why what we have as the new testament today is the revelation of what God revealed to the men and prophets of old. We see the Messiah, Jesus the Christ and His disciples who wrote, quoting from these scriptures. Selah. In Psalm 95, we see praise given to whom it is deserved, the Heavenly Father: Psalms 95:3-6 For the Lord is a great God, a gr...

Psalm 94:1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself. Deuteronomy 32:35a To me [belongeth] vengeance, and recompence; Through scriptures, God has shown and said, that He has the exclusive right of vengeance. We are to leave that to Him. We very well should, knowing that no authority or power is higher than Him. Yes recompense for the wicked, THIS IS CERTAIN yes, however what of those who claim to be His but live the life of wickedness? That is worth looking into: 2Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. Psalms 94:4-7 How long will they speak with arrogance? How long will these evil people boast? They crush your people, Lord, hurting those you claim as your own. They kill widows and foreigners and murder orphans. “The Lord isn’t looking,” they say, “and besides, the God of Israel doesn’t care....

Psalm 93:2 Thy throne [is] established of old: thou [art] from everlasting. Psalms 93:2 Your throne, O Lord, has stood from time immemorial. You yourself are from the everlasting past. This is one of those Psalms that has no record of title nor author. However it speaks of God's awesomeness and majesty. Psalms 93:1 The Lord is king! He is robed in majesty. Indeed, the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength. The world stands firm and cannot be shaken. Contrary to what some teach, the Lord very much has the earth under control. (Psalm 93:1b, Psalm 24:1, Daniel 4:17) This Psalm reminds us that no matter the storm, the Lord is bigger than it: Psalms 93:3-4 The floods have risen up, O Lord. The floods have roared like thunder; the floods have lifted their pounding waves. But mightier than the violent raging of the seas, mightier than the breakers on the shore — the Lord above is mightier than these! Don't honour that trouble, don't give that problem too much credit. ...

Psalm 92:1 [It is a] good [thing] to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: Philippians 1:11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. Every righteous one should give praise to our Heavenly Father, for the Lord knows those who are His and He blesses them. Yes the Lord has good plans for those who choose His way, that is, the path of righteousness. We are blessed in this life and in the life to come. Psalm 92:12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those who rebel, yes, those who choose the path of wickedness are described as grass that withers away: Psalm 92:7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; [it is] that they shall be destroyed for ever: This truth rings through all scriptures. Knowing this, we the righteous remain in righteousness, giving praise to the Father. Singing His worship ...

Psalm 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Where else can we run for safety than under the cover of the overall leader. For when we are under the cover of the Most High, no other power has a say in our lives. Job 1:10 You have always put a wall of protection around him and his home and his property. You have made him prosper in everything he does. Look how rich he is! When anyone comes to Christ, they automatically come into the secret place of the Most High, their names are written in the book of life and nothing takes place in their lives without God's permission or theirs. Colossians 3:3 For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. Thus when we read this Psalm we proclaim that which the Heavenly Father has brought to us. Psalms 91:2-5 This I declare about the lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. For he will rescue you from every trap and p...

John 4:21, 23-24 “Jesus replied, “Believe me, dear woman, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.  But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”” Do not forget whom you worship! We could get carried away by religion, denominations, programmes, hero worship, traditions, celebrations etc and then miss the real thing. The children of Israel were rescued out of Egypt by God using Moses as the messenger. The people focused on Moses and not on God and then this happened: Exodus 32:7-8 “The Lord told Moses, “Quick! Go down the mountain! Your people whom you brought from the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves. How quickly they have turned away from the way I commanded them to live! They have melted down ...

Psalm 90:2  Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou [art] God. Before you forget, it was not your own will to come into this world. The stay is short but we are to make the most of it, enjoy it, work and submit to Him to whom has the decision of what would happen to us in eternity. John 10:10b  I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly. Be wise, stay with Him, who only can give life here and in the time to come. As you work, do business and make impact in this time also don't forget to, Worship, Study, Pray and live in obedience. Forget all the noise in the world, there is yet that which really matters. Glory to God forevermore. We are victorious. Love @the watcher.

Psalms 90:1-2 Lord, through all the generations you have been our home! Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, from beginning to end, you are God. Most scholars attribute this Psalm to Moses. A prayer for God's mercy on His people, that they had suffered enough, for God to restore them. When we read through, we see Moses acknowledging God for who He is. The one who existed before anything was formed, for indeed, He formed them. Though man was formed from dust, life in us was as of God's breath. So we ". . . lived in God. . ." even before we were born. Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. So Moses talked about God casting us off as dust: Psalms 90:3 You turn people back to dust, saying, “Return to dust, you mortals!” For even with those who lived in earlier times, who lived close to a thousand years, it still was br...

Psalm 89:1 I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. God's covenants are faithful to all generations. Yes for even when those who were to inherit errs, He still keeps His promises. What they at those times did not know was that it expanded more than what they imagined. Psalm 89:3-4 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. It is not as if the teachers of the law then did not know, but they had the wrong expectation and a carnal view of the revelation of the son of David. Furthermore, they wanted to keep their exalted positions. For many including the blind recognized Jesus as the son of David: Matthew 20:31 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, [thou] Son of David. Yes, Christ Jesus was the seed of D...

Psalm 85:13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set [us] in the way of his steps. When we read the Psalms we see more than just the singing of songs, or rhymes to poetry or writings. It is not just the memorial of the experiences of the people of Israel or the happenings to David or the other kings of those times. We see revelation born out of true worship, praise and intercession to our Heavenly Father. The greatest of all being the prophecy of the revelation of the Messiah and the great things He will do for all peoples. This is why, the Messiah - Christ quoted from there, so did Paul and Peter and others who wrote. The old testament fulfilled in its revelation by the very Spirit of God, the Spirit of prophesy. For all scriptures testify of the Messiah, Jesus the Christ. Halleluyah. John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. In Psalm 85 we see the declaration of God's mercy, forgiveness of sins and c...
