Psalm 127 - In Praise of God's Goodness

1. If the LORD does not build the house,

the work of the builders is useless;

if the LORD does not protect the city,

it does no good for the sentries to stand guard.

2. It is useless to work so hard for a living,

getting up early and going to be late.

For the LORD provides for those he loves,

while they are asleep.

3. Children are a gift from the LORD;

they are a real blessing.

4. The sons a man has when he is young

are like arrows in a soldier’s hand.

5. Happy is the man who has
many such arrows.

He will never be defeated

when he meets his enemies in

the place of judgement.

Everybody's Perfect!

Does anyone ever bring with them the knowledge of Christ when they become born again and baptised with the Holy Spirit? Are not My thoughts not your thoughts – My ways higher than your ways? Is 55:8 NKJV “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.”

When you come to Me, I accept you as you are in whatever place you are at. 1 Corinthians 7:17-24 NKJV “But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the churches. Was anyone called while circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Was anyone called while uncircumcised? Let him not be circumcised. Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters. Let each one remain in the same calling in which he was called. Were you called while a slave? Do not be concerned about it; but if you can be made free, rather use it. For he who is called in the Lord while a slave is the Lord’s freedman. Likewise he who is called while free is Christ’s slave. You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men. Brethren, let each one remain with God in that state in which he was called.”

You cannot possibly know all there is to know – this is true – yet so many of you struggle with their daily walk, thinking that they somehow lack knowledge in certain areas, or that they don’t ‘measure up’ to My requirements! Well HEAR THIS! I chose you before you were born! I already knew all about your shortcomings. I have loved and accepted you JUST AS YOU ARE! To Me, YOU ARE ALREADY PERFECT. And not only that, you are whole, complete and lacking in nothing. This is the righteousness in Me. You are the righteousness of God in Christ! 2 Corinthians 5:21 NKJV “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

This is why I came! This is why I sacrificed! This is how much I love you! Some of you out there really need to listen to what I am telling you here. Satan would have you believe that you are not worthy to be in My Kingdom. Now this is a lie. It is a part of the great many lies that he is telling you. Right now, he is angry with you, because he knows the truth. He knows all the scriptures too – and he does not want you to succeed. He will go to any lengths to try to tell you that you are not fit to serve Me. Well folks – his time is up! When you start to feel as though you are not good enough, you fight back with the scriptures! You use My word for what it was designed for! Speak it out in faith and watch it change your circumstances! Speak it forth into all your life’s challenges and situations and be amazed at how your life becomes whole – how you become the person that I know you to be.

Romans 5:12-17 NLT “When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. Yes, people sinned even before the law was given. But it was not counted as sin because there was not yet any law to break. Still, everyone died—from the time of Adam to the time of Moses—even those who did not disobey an explicit commandment of God, as Adam did. Now Adam is a symbol, a representation of Christ, who was yet to come. But there is a great difference between Adam’s sin and God’s gracious gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ. And the result of God’s gracious gift is very different from the result of that one man’s sin. For Adam’s sin led to condemnation, but God’s free gift leads to our being made right with God, even though we are guilty of many sins. For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.”

PS When you find that you are feeling as though you are not acceptable in My sight, remember that I love you now, I have always loved you, and will continue to love you forever and all time and throughout all eternity. You are mine and I am yours. Be that person. Be the one whom I chose long ago. Know and understand that I see you as that person and that nothing you could ever do will change that fact. ALL IS FORGIVEN! Amen. Romans 4:18 NKJV “Blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall not impute sin.” Amen.

All glory for these words, as always, goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Kingdom Rain!

Everybody listen! It is time that we all sing the praises of our Lord Jesus Christ because He is about to rain on you in all His glory! He is about to deliver you to His Kingdom blessings! Behold the lamb has come! Never before have we seen or heard of so much wonder in our lives! It has taken us all many years to arrive at this place of freedom, but now that we are here, let us all give praises to our Lord and King! Let’s all shout hallelujah! Psalm 101:1 NLT “I will sing of your love and justice, LORD. I will praise you with songs.”

The time has come for us all to experience what it means to be a part of His Kingdom. We are about to be filled with so much joy that we will hardly recognise ourselves. We are about to become a part of an amazing time in history that will all unfold very soon. What am I talking about here? I am talking about the coming of His Kingdom to all His followers. Luke 13:29 NLT “And people will come from all over the world—from east and west, north and south—to take their places in the Kingdom of God.”

Our lives are about to be transformed beyond belief! I am saying these things to you as the Lord is putting them in my heart. He knows what you and I have been through thus far, and he knows what is about to happen! All this time we have been waiting and waiting for our miracles, well, I’m here to tell you that the waiting is over! That’s right! We’ve been kept waiting long enough. Satan is not going to win this battle – the battle has been fought and won long ago by Jesus, and His finished work at the cross. John 19:30 NKJV “So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.”

There are times and seasons for all things under the sun. We have all experienced much pain and sorrow on our journeys, and now we are being lifted up by His strong arms and catapulted into our new destinies. Our destinies are to be filled with all the joy of the Lord! We are going to be so happy that we cannot help but to sing! Psalm 66:4 NLT “Everything on earth will worship you; they will sing your praises, shouting your name in glorious songs.”

All we need do now is to trust that we are being carried to a new place – a place where we are no longer the forgotten ones. We will be among the many who can say that their lives have been transformed by Jesus. He has saved us all from our sins, and now we can take our place amongst our brethren and enjoy all these great and wondrous blessings as they begin to unfold in our lives. Revelations 14:3 NKJV “They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth.”

There will be no more shame – only joy! Nor more tears – only laughter! Nor more slavery – only freedom! Freedom to live as the Lord intends for us all! May God bless you all as you read these words and may He show you the truth for yourselves. Peace, love and mercy be yours in Jesus name – hallelujah! Revelations 21:4 NKJV “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

PS This is only the beginning folks! Just wait and see! Watch and behold with your eyes as the blessings come upon you and your families. Your friends and associates will not believe their eyes! God bless! Isaiah 61:1-3 NKJV “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.” Amen.

All glory for these words as always goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

The Power of God's Love!

Never underestimate the power of God’s love! It is up to you to realign yourself to this truth in order that you may grow accordingly into the wondrous and mighty warrior that He predestined you to be! We are all His warriors – you and I – and we have been chosen to be His instruments all according to the many plans that He made for us long before our birth into this world. Psalm 18:34 KJV “He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.”

Much shall be accomplished if you will allow yourself to be given direction and instruction by Him. He will set you on your path and will provide all that you could ever need so that you will not want for anything throughout your life. The Lord IS our shepherd and indeed we will have EVERYTHING that we need to get the job done. Psalm 23:1 KJV “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.”

You will receive much joy from walking this path. Although you will come across many who will not be in agreement with you and the path you are on, and you may receive much criticism from those around you, the one thing to remember always is this: Hebrews 13:5-6 KJV “I WILL NEVER LEAVE THEE, NOR FORSAKE THEE. So that we may boldly say, THE LORD IS MY HELPER, AND I WILL NOT FEAR WHAT MAN SHALL DO UNTO ME.”

Your enemies may try to cause you problems or afflictions, but the Lord your God will have them fleeing in seven directions! Yes that’s right! He will not allow them to be successful in any of their plans carried out against you because you are now living under His jurisdiction. Psalm 91:1 KJV “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”

Our God is an awesome God! He will not let you fail. He will protect you and guide you as you carry out His instructions that He has given you. You will be surprised at how easy this all is and you will be rewarded many times over for your diligence.

As we walk along our paths, day by day, and we are being responsible citizens of His Kingdom, showing Him our faith and trust, the days become larger thereby allowing you to achieve much more than what you could on your own. He has given you ‘length of days.’ Proverbs 3:1-2 KJV “My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.”

You will have the same amount of hours as everyone else, but you will be able to just flow from one activity to the next, as though your feet have barely touched the ground! This is what happens when you live in the Kingdom of the Almighty God! This is what it’s like to walk in the supernatural! God will even send His angels to help you to get things done! Psalm 103:20 KJV “Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.”

PS Always remember that although in this life there will be many trials to undergo, the rewards are far beyond anything we can possibly imagine in this earthly life. You will experience Heaven on Earth – The New Jerusalem – and you will spend all of eternity being wrapped up in God’s love! Glory to God forever and ever. Amen!

All glory for these words as always goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Your Time Has Come!

It is written Isaiah 49:22-23 NKJV “Thus says the Lord GOD: ‘Behold, I will lift My hand in an oath to the nations, And set up My standard for the peoples; They shall bring your sons in their arms, And your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders; Kings shall be your foster fathers, And their queens your nursing mothers; They shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, And lick up the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD, For they shall not be ashamed who wait for Me.”

For those who are brave enough to face even the toughest of trials for My name’s sake, you will come to find much hope and peace during those storms. You will rise above the clouds and be brought to a place of safety where you shall be in My glory. With My wings you shall fly high up in the sky and people from all over will ask themselves ‘How is it that you are so totally happy even during the calamities that are surrounding so many on the earth at this time?’

But you will know! You will know the truth! And that truth My dear friends shall indeed set you free.” John 8:31-36 NKJV “Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?” Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”

‘How is it that you are able to fly so high?’ they may say. You will know in your heart why these things must come to pass, and why it is so so very easy for you to soar on eagle’s wings. You will be free as a bird in flight that everyone around you may come to the understanding that I the Lord hath lifted you up that you may not fall, for I will uphold you with My right hand. Psalm 145:14 AMP “The Lord upholds all those [of His own] who are falling and raises up all those who are bowed down.”

Oh what a joy it is to behold! My dear servants living their lives on bended knee yet exalted to My right hand side! You are My disciples! And I will show you just how far you’ve come. For I love to bless My dear children in that they may discover who I truly am! I am the one who loves to bless. I am He that guides you through the forgotten valleys by streams of living water! Allow Me to wash you with My word, and fulfil in you the great many plans I have for My dear ones!

With Me in charge of your life, I will bring every aspect of the totality of your being into alignment and perfect wholeness and completion in all things! I LOVE YOU! And I will not let you down. You WILL SEE with your own eyes just how I make my light shine upon you. Lift up thine eyes and you will see the darkness all around you fade into the distance with the hope of a brand new day filling the morning sky! Yes, your time HAS come! Glory to God and the church – His saints – for all time to come! Amen! Psalm 121 KJV “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.” Hallelujah!

PS Isaiah 49:13 NKJV “Sing, O heavens! Be joyful, O earth! And break out in singing, O mountains! For the LORD has comforted His people, And will have mercy on His afflicted.” Amen.

All glory for the words as always goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Stand Up and be Counted!

Rise up all you nations and serve the Lord God Almighty! Take up your sword and put your armor on that you may be counted worthy to serve the King of kings and Lord of all lords! Be advised that you may come into contact with many who will try to thwart your plans. That is the enemy, and he will stop at nothing to try and get in your way. Ephesians 6:11 NKJV “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”

Be that as it may, he will not be successful for I will ensure that you are protected and guided along life’s highways, and you will be given much to assist you on your journey. I will be there for you always, and never will I forsake you. Psalm 37:23-24 NLT “The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the LORD holds them by the hand.”

You must be strong, and stand your ground in the face of all evil. Have faith that nothing by any means shall ever harm you, and that you will indeed come out shining like the lights that you all are. 1 Thessalonians 5:5-11 NKJV “You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.”

There is a great move of the Holy Spirit happening right now, and there will be a harvest of many souls. This is a time like no other! Many will come into the Kingdom! Many, many will be saved! You can count on it! Revelation 14:14-16 NKJV “Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, “Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.”

This I say to you, you must rely upon Me in My greatness to supply you with everything you will need in order that My plans and desires for you be fulfilled. There must be a willingness to serve Me at all costs, whether it be at the loss of some who are close to you, or the falling away of certain aspects of your lifestyles. Let them fall away now. Let them all go, for they no longer can walk with you on your path.

The ones who do stay, however, will be transformed by the light! They will become brand new individuals having been changed from within! They will become new creations! 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”

Of course, many who are led on this journey will become totally different people to who they were prior to coming into My Kingdom. This is good news for some, with the old falling away, and much of the little annoying habits and personality traits that you weren’t happy with, all disappearing as you become whole! Things you thought you could never change about yourself, suddenly become non-existent! You will see yourself in a new light because you have become that light. You, my friends, are the lights of the world! Hallelujah! Glory be to God forever! Amen. Matthew 5:14-16 NKJV “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

PS 2 Corinthians 5:6-15 NKJV “So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

The Judgment Seat of Christ

Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.

Be Reconciled to God

For we do not commend ourselves again to you, but give you opportunity to boast on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart. For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; or if we are of sound mind, it is for you. For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.” Amen.

All glory for these words as always goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Living a Life of Abundance

Blessed is he who knows that he belongs to the King! He will know what path he is on, and will experience the joy and blessings that come about when one is acquainted with the knowledge necessary to traverse these trails.

These paths are not ordinary paths! By no means are these paths travelled by ordinary measures and practices! No, they are paths that are journeyed via the supernatural, and they are filled with all the blessings of God!

So by now, you will see that what I am talking about here are the ways of the Kingdom - Kingdom Living with God steering the ship. He knows where all the pitfalls are. He has an overview of your life and everyone in it. He sees how all the plans fit together in order that you may receive all your blessings due. It is written Psalm 34:8-10 NKJV “Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.”

While those around you are living in poverty, you will see financial gain! While those in your neighbourhood are struggling to pay their mortgages, you will have all your debts paid and be living comfortably. Our God will meet those needs for you, so long as you continue to abide in Him and walk in His ways. John 15:5-8 NKJV “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples."

Those who are obedient to the Lord, will have many of their dreams coming to fruition, and will experience what is referred to as exponential blessings! It is not hard to see that if you choose the correct path, that is, the path to Salvation and Eternity, that you will come to know and experience all of this first hand. Isaiah 55:1-2 NKJV “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance.”

For those that truly follow God’s word, and who have learned by study and experience what it takes to walk this path, you will be living a very different life to those around you. Many will wonder how it is that you have become so successful in your standards of living, and you will have an answer for them. You will be able to say ‘Indeed, those who follow the Lord Jesus Christ will be led onward and upward to victory!’ Nothing will be impossible for you and you will have discovered for yourself that yes its true – with God, what is impossible for man is indeed possible for God! Praise His mighty name!

PS Psalm 36:5-9 NKJV “Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the great mountains; Your judgments are a great deep; O LORD, You preserve man and beast. How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings. They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures. For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light." Amen.

All glory for these words as always goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

God's Love and Mercy

ST. JOHN 3:16 KJV “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Jesus! He gave us His son Jesus. Can you imagine that for one moment? Anyone who is a parent knows just what an act of mercy that would be! I can remember the anguish I felt as a parent, dropping off my child at preschool for the first time, having to leave her there for the day! I simply cannot imagine how it felt for God to have to watch His precious Son die on that cross, all so that we would not perish but have eternal life! Hallelujah!

What a gift to us! It is something we must never take for granted. Praise be to God the Father in Heaven! His promise is to a thousand generations! Psalm 105:7-8 RSV “He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth. He is mindful of his covenant for ever, of the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations...”

God in His great wisdom knew that the only way for us to be saved would be if He allowed His Son Jesus to die for our sins. Our sins could not go unpunished therefore Jesus bore them in His own body by the many lashings He dutifully received on our behalf. Isaiah 53:4-5 RSV “Surely he has borne our griefs and carried away our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that made us whole, and with his stripes we are healed.”

Jesus faithfully and obediently allowed Himself to be delivered up to the authorities like a lamb to the slaughter! All so that we could have life abundantly! All so that we could be free of sicknesses and infirmities. All so that we could have life everlasting! Isaiah 53:7-9 RSV “He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.”

Let’s all take a moment to bow our heads in reverence for the Lord God Almighty, who has made it possible for us to live our lives, covered and protected by His unending love, grace and mercy! Amen.

PS Psalm 100:1-5 KJV “Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 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. Enter into his gate with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise; be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.” AMEN!

All glory for these words as always goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Praise be to God! Amen.

The Gift of Enlightenment

Come to Me all who are heavy laden and I will give you rest. As you reach out to Me I will give to you the strength that you need to get through any trials you may be undergoing. I will equip you with what is necessary for you for the fulfilment of your hearts desires. I the Lord have spoken.

When you come to Me with your heart open and in all sincerity, you will find a very loving God who will open doors for you in places unknown to you and those around you. You will receive much guidance and all the necessary advancements in order that you may be equipped for each step to take, no matter how small. Sometimes, it is the small steps that carefully prepare the way and help to negotiate you around the many obstacles in your way.

Do not be concerned that you seem to be making little or no headway – it is in these times that you must wait on Me, for these are the times of great preparation around you – preparation that is necessary for the aggrandisement of My plans in you. Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.”

It is through the trials of your life that you will be given much enlightenment. It is through these trials that you will gain much understanding and insight. This insight can be applied to many other situations that will surround you in the times to come. This is how I equip you and what is referred to as equipping the saints.

Ephesians 4:11-13 AMP “And His gifts were [varied; He Himself appointed and gave men to us] some to be apostles (special messengers), some prophets (inspired preachers and expounders), some evangelists (preachers of the Gospel, travelling missionaries), some pastors (shepherds of His flock) and teachers. His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ’s body (the church), [That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ’s own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him.”

PS When all these things are given to you, you shall be at a place where security and safety become a normal part of your existence, and nothing by any means shall ever harm you again! Luke 10:19 AMP “Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpion, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you.” Amen.

All glory for these words as always goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Sowing Seeds of Righteousness

Love comes to those who have somewhere in the past, given out love or in other words, sown seeds of love. It happens that what we plant, we harvest – what we sow, we reap. So if you want hope – give it to someone else and when you least expect it, hope will be given back to you in full measure. Hosea 10:12 NKJV “Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the LORD, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you.”

Tomorrow brings with it much in the way of these things that we have planted before. What you experience today will depend upon what you have dealt out to others. It may be that you are now receiving kindness from someone you’ve known only a short time. This happens as a result of some kindness seeds you have planted in the past. Proverbs 21:21 NKJV “He who follows righteousness and mercy Finds life, righteousness and honor.”

It is only when you come to realise that what you give out will be returned to you in full, that you will be more careful in what you dish out to others. It is through this realisation that much progress will be made in your personal life. For those seeds you planted yesterday, are about to germinate and become either the fulfilment of something desirable or on the other hand not so desirable.

This is very important knowledge to you on your journey. This will help you to achieve either a peaceful existence or one that is wrought with chaos. The good news is, no matter what the situation, it is never too late to start sowing good seeds – seeds that you will enjoy – you can begin sowing seeds of righteousness. Proverbs 11:18-21 “The wicked man does deceptive work, But he who sows righteousness will have a sure reward. As righteousness leads to life, So he who pursues evil pursues it to his own death. Those who are of a perverse heart are an abomination to the LORD, But the blameless in their ways are His delight. Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished; But the posterity of the righteous will be delivered.”

PS If you can make a commitment today to walk in truth, to not slander, criticise or judge others, and to show love, peace and goodwill to those around you, I guarantee that you will begin to reap a harvest of righteousness for which you shall be justified as radiant as the midday sun! Psalm 37:3-6 NKJV “Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your justice as the noonday.” Amen!

All glory as always for these words goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
