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.

The Power Plug!

Buckle up! For the glory of the Lord is upon you! Oh Lord God Almighty, you are the one who is able to set the captives free! You unchain the prisoners and open the gates for them! You break the yokes of oppression in those who truly love you! Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ who is holy upon Mount Zion forever! Praise to the King! Let Him rule and reign in our hearts forevermore! Amen. Isaiah 60:1-3 NKJV “Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising.”

For these are the times we have been waiting for! The Lord God your King has come to set you free! He will deliver you from all the evils that have been affecting you in your life, and He will make the way clear for you. He has come that we may have life abundantly! He will restore to you the long lost dreams you have forgotten about. He will restore honour to you in your homes and in the land! He is the King of all kings – Hallelujah! Isaiah 61:6-7 NKJV “But you shall be named the priests of the LORD, They shall call you the servants of our God. You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, And in their glory you shall boast. Instead of shame you shall have double honor, And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double; Everlasting joy shall be theirs.” Amen!

Please know, trust and understand that the Lord your God is on your side. He is leading you and guiding you around all the obstacles that have been for so long blocking your path. He is with you when you eat! He is with you when you sleep! He is on the job for you 24 hours and day and then some! He is with you now, holding you firmly by the shoulders, keeping you upright, and He will never, ever, and I say never, ever, and again, never, ever let you go! GOD LOVES YOU! May peace, love and understanding be yours now, in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

PS Plug into Jesus, because He is the light of the world! He will light up your path and indeed your whole life! 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 as always for these words goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Blessed Are the Pure In Heart

To be blessed means to receive God’s favour upon any situations in your life. When we walk in harmony with what God wants for us, that is, according to His will, we shall see Him at work for us in the many different aspects of our lives. Matthew 5:8 NKJV “Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.”

We must begin by purifying ourselves and our hearts of anything unclean, including and especially in our thoughts; as our thoughts tend to dictate what comes out of our mouths. Matthew 15:18 NKJV “But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man.”

It is written in Proverbs 14:14 NKJV “The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways, But a good man will be satisfied from above.” From our hearts also come our intentions and motives and if we continue to operate from a perspective of anything unclean or impure, then God cannot and will not bless our actions. Psalm 19:14 NKJV “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer.”

If you wish to have the life of your dreams, and to see the many plans that God has for you being fulfilled in your life, then you must continue to work hard at maintaining a purified heart. We must be diligent and continually monitor what is in our hearts. Be not afraid! God wants to bless you! Ask God to help you to overcome any obstacles. He will lead and guide you in His ways of righteousness. Psalm 51:10 NKJV “Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.”

God’s plan for you is for you to prosper! He wants you to succeed in all areas of your life! Ensure that everything that is unworthy, or unfit for those who belong to God’s Kingdom is removed from your hearts and minds, and replaced with love and the honest desire to serve the Lord God Almighty, and you will soon see an outpouring of blessings upon you and your family, and your life will be transformed beyond anything you could ever imagine! Psalm 139:23-24 NKJV “Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.” Glory to God!

PS 1 Timothy 6:11-16 “But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing, which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.”

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