Psalm 150

¹Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.

 ²Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.

 ³Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.

 ⁴Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

 ⁵Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

 ⁶Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

 

There is a difference between believing in your faith and practicing your faith.

If you ask someone, what religion are you? Most likely they’ll say they are Christians. 

Ask them if they go church? There answer will be no

Why not? They dunno, it doesn’t really appeal to them

The word “CHRISTian” means to be a follower of Christ, to be Christ-like, to put on the attributes of Christ. If you cannot seem to surrender your all to God, to follow in His way, to obey his word, then how can you then associate yourself with Him. 

In Matthew 6:24 says No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

The word mammon means material things, things that  only make you happy just for a period of time. Its temporary satisfaction that the world gives, and as soon as it vanishes you are left with the emptiness that it once filled.

Now with God, its a permanent happiness. There is no need to search anywhere else for the fullness you get when you are in the presence of God. 

Now when Christ came to earth, his purpose was not to seek and save. To seek for lost souls and then save them. There is life everlasting when you accept to be a disciple of Christ and to walk in His way. 

 Yes we were born in sin and shape in iniquity, but Proverbs 24:16 says, “For a just manfalleth seven times but he riseth up again, the three main words in this scripture isFALLETH BUT RISETH. We fall, then we accepted that we fell and decided that we don’t want to stay there so we got back up. The word but shows that regardless of what happen, I’m going to get up; regardless of what I did wrong, I’m gonna get up. For a saved person was just a sinner that fell but, but instead of staying there, they got up. The important factor is that we got up, no matter how much times you fall, its the getting up that’s important. An example we can look at is a baby when he/she is learning to walk, they fall, they get up, they fall, they get up and they repeat this process until they can walk. This is the same for us with our walk with God, none of us is perfect and that is why we fall but accepting that we fell, and having the need to get back up is what makes the difference. Jesus will always be there to help you back up.

In God’s word, He says He’ll never leave us nor forsake us. No matter what we did, no matter what others says we are. God is always waiting for us to come back to Him, His arms are always stretch wide open to receive us. 

So the question is today, are you just going to sit there? Are you just going to accept defeat? Are you just gonna let the devil triumph in your life? 

I pray that your decision will be that you will get up, and follow Jesus and walk in His way and in His fullness of Joy.

God bless you all richly

The song writer said “Never let your problems get you down”. 

Our needs differ, so do our problems but the fact that never changes is that God is able to turn it around into a breakthrough. 

We tend to concentrate on what we can see through the fleshly eye rather than what meets the spiritual eye. The bible says “Faith is the substance of things hope for, and the evidence of things not seen. 

God is working in our lives in ways we cannot see until results start showing. Whenever a stumbling block comes in your way, just stop for a moment just to give God praise. 

When you have done that, you are simply acknowledging that God is still in control and that you have given him the chance to fix it right.

Trials only come to make us strong, the more we face trials the stronger we get because once we got over we know that God is moving in our lives.

• So When you don’t know where the next meal is coming from, say HALLELUJAH anyhow. (Isaiah 55:1 :- “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.)
• When your bank account is empty, say HALLELUJAH ANYHOW (Phillipians 4:19 :- My God shall supply all our needs according to His riches in glory)
• When we feel like our life is not going how we want it, say HALLELUJAH ANYHOW (Jeremiah 29:11 :-For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
• When the devil place fear in our lives, say HALLELUJAH ANYHOW (Psalms 27:1 :- The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?)
• When our enemies try to tear us down, say HALLELUJAH ANYHOW (Psalms 27:2 :-When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell)

No one said the road is gonna be easy but what we know is that in the end it will be worth it

“Hallelujah anyhow, never ever let your problems get you down. When temptaions come your way, lift your hands up high and say Hallelujah anyhow!!

*Giving thanks to the Most High, all glory and honour belongs to Him who is the author and finisher of our lives

God bless you all
