FEAR GOD AND WALK IN HIS WAY! Click and read.

 Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants and about thy table. (Psalm 128: 1-3)

Clearly the Lord states unequivocally that there is a blessing attached to fearing the Lord. It is an engraved tag that inevitably triggers blessing. The blessing extends to those that walk in the way of the Lord. For you to walk in God’s way it means that the pathway is already defined. The directions for walking in the Lord’s ways are found in the bible. Remember that this book of law should not depart from our mouth rather we are to meditate on it day and night so that we are careful to observe all that is written therein and our way will be prosperous and we will have good success.

The path of the Lord is defined in His word. It is like having the address of a friend with the directions on how to arrive written on paper. As long as you follow the directions you are sure to arrive at your friends place. Walking in God’s way ensures that we arrive at the doorpost of blessing. I will eat of the labour of my hands in Jesus name. You will eat of the labour of your hands in Jesus name. The Lord says you will not be deprived of the reward of your labour. God is the God of seed time and harvest. Happiness and wellness is also guaranteed. Your family shall be fruitful. Peace shall dwell in your borders in Jesus name.

Fear God (i.e. reverence) and walk in His way; that is what guarantees blessing indeed. His promise when we fear him and walk in his way is that we will be fruitful in our lives and family. The verse was specific in the instruction. Walk in God’s ways. This suggests that there is already a clear path that must be identified by us. His guidance is in his word and we need to search it out continually so that we are well directed. If you are willing and obedient you will eat the good of the land. (Isaiah 1:19)

 
THE PRODUCT OF OBEDIENCE IS ALWAYS FRUITFULNESS.

GOD CAN RAISE FROM THE DUST! Click and read.

 

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s he hath set the world upon them. He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. (1 Samuel 2:8-9)

Throughout God’s word, he takes time to build our confidence in him. He declares to you that read that no matter how low life has pushed you, he has the ability and capacity to lift you up. When he lifts you he makes sure that he doesn’t just drop you off so that you will not assume you have been left to chance. He will set you among princes to inherit.

It is the Lord that does the raising. It is like saying that the Lord comes down to our level with an outstretched arm. You have seen heavy equipment being used to lift things to a particular position. We can liken it to what the Lord does for the poor. We know that the poor usually experiences lack and emptiness and surely the Lord has no problem doing the raising. He possesses all that is needed to cause positive change and effective positioning.

“He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill.” The dunghill is a place of waste and is really smelly. God overlooks the stench and willingly reaches out to us. The Lord is patient enough with us in our lowly estate that He stays with us through the process of lifting. It is not an enviable position to be a beggar. We have all been privileged to see a beggar before. Beggars are usually at the mercy of those they are begging from. Usually the beggar is given the crumbs or the least amount that the giver does not mind parting with.The beauty of the Lord's lifting is that he sets you among princes. you are a chosen generation.

 
Once in a while in life we find ourselves having to beg for the things we are trying to afford. The Lord has no intention of leaving us permanently in a beggarly state but it is also worthy to note that our attitude in whatever state we find ourselves is important. The wrong attitude has a way of prolonging your stay in situations. Hang in there no matter how bad it looks. Call upon the Lord and He will step in and turn the situation around for your good. God is the only one that can move an individual to an esteemed position to show that He is God. All the glory must be to the Lord.
