Psalms 1:1-3 (KJV)
"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper".
we thank the Almighty God for His faithfulness over our lives. He has promised and He will never fail us, for His faithfulness is forevermore. Today we want to learn about God's blessings and its conditions.
From our background verse, we got to know the conditions for God's blessings in our lives. In the book of Psalms 1, David inspired by the Holy Spirit wrote about how we are going to attract the blessings of God. What we see here is, having delight in the law (word) of the Lord and meditating on it day and night.
Now how do we delight in the law (word) of the Lord and mediating on it? It's by careful studying of the Bible, thinking about it and applying it in our lives.
Again in Joshua 1: 8-9, the Lord instructed Joshua to be strong and courageous, to obey the law Moses gave them and not turning left or right and also the book of law should not depart from his mouth but should meditate on it day and night so that his way will be prosperous and successfulness
In our dispensation, the conditions have not changed. The blessings of God come from studying the word of God, because in my opinion, the word of God has everything we need to prosper in life as Christians.
Studying the word helps us to know God better by fellowshipping with Him. It helps us to know God's plan for our lives and also helps us to know God by yourselves. Note this, the more you are closer to someone, the more the person gives to you.
Finally brethren, put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. It will be good to read and apply Ephesians 6:10-18 in our lives, because the time we find ourselves is dangerous. God bless you for obeying His word.
YOUR WORTH IS THE BLOOD
Acts 20:28
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
The basic Scripture today exhibits the kind of love that God has for us. He was admonishing the leadership of the church who were being appointed by the presence of the Holy Spirit to care for the people; the flock who are the congregation of God. He did not end there but added that the flock has been bought. Has been bought by who? Our Lord Jesus Christ with His Blood.
Beloved, today's word needs serious meditation, we are being bound and tormented day and night by forces of darkness because we don't know our worth. We don't know that our souls, spirit and body belong to the Lord. That we have already been sold and paid for. Some of us are also miserable and feel we don't know our left from right. We still live a life of defeat, a life of poverty and negativity. We live our lives with people of this world looking down upon us because we don't know the worth of the blood that has saved us
Enough is enough beloved! We must have a changed mentality now that we are worth the Blood of Jesus Christ. Declare it over your life that you are worth the Blood of Jesus. Because you believe that that is your worth, what the blood of Jesus can do, it will be done in your life.That is the only blood that speaks better things. My brothers and sisters, behold, that is your worth. God bless you.
