When God Says .......

A good man obtains favor from the Lord, But a man of wicked intentions He will condemn. (Proverbs 12:2 NKJV)

He makes us aware that a man whose heart is set upon the Lord in faith always comes upon His throne of grace to obtain favor. He is a man who knows that his faithful God always grant His favors to those who rely only in Him. He is a good man not of what he has done but of what The Lord Jesus whom he trusts has done for him. His heart's desire is to glorify His Lord, not as the wicked whose intention is to satisfy the desires of his flesh. Wrong motives tilt the spout of blessings away from a corrupt vessel. Scripture says: "When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. (James 4:3 NIV)

But for those who ask in the right posture, He surrounds him with abundant blessings, as the psalmist declared - "For You, Lord, will bless the [uncompromisingly] righteous [him who is upright and in right standing with you]; as with a shield You will surround him with goodwill (pleasure and favor). (Psalm 5:12 AMP)

And I say ... AMEN!

When God says .......

When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices; And when the wicked perish, there is jubilation. By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. (Proverbs 11:10, 11 NKJV)

This reflects striking difference between the impact of righteousness and wickedness on the community. When the work of darkness infects the land, nuisance of crime plagues the community like what's happening in our midst. There is fear. People are tense. Pressure is strong. When the agents of wickedness are driven off, people take a fresh breathe of air.

When the righteous reigns a wave of positive change arrives. God's favors advance in their stage of influence. The blessings of the righteous are contagious. Their prosperity reverberates in the land. People are relieved from pressure. Fear is cast out. Peace prevails. God is exalted.

As people of God, we are called to be agents of favors and blessings. Lord Jesus declared these words - “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-16 NIV)

And I say ... AMEN!

When God says .......

Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death. (Proverbs 11:4 NKJV)

He ushers in for our attention, "The Day of Wrath”, that is the day of final accounting to God, the divine Judge. Riches won't do us any good. In the gospel Lord Jesus gave these words - "And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.” ’ “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.” (Luke 12:16-21 NIV)

Riches make a person self-centered. Everything around him becomes "I" and "My". He becomes proud and arrogant. He forgets God the source and provider. Man becomes a fool in his riches. 

All the riches in the world save no one from the wrath of God. In order to be saved, we must be washed in the blood of Jesus Christ our Lord, and then we will be put right in the sight of God. Jesus Christ brings us life, not death. He brings us healing, not disease. "By His stripes we are healed." As His redeemed, we are saved from the wrath to come. 

Apostle Paul assures us with these words- "For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. (1 Thessalonians 5:9, 10 ESV)


And I say ... AMEN!

When God says .......

When God says.......

If the righteous will be recompensed on the earth, How much more the ungodly and the sinner. (Proverbs 11:3 NKJV)

He reminds us that everything we do in this life, be it righteously with God or wickedly against the will of God, there are consequences both here on earth and in eternity. The godly things we do abiding in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ by faith calls for pleasant rewards and blessings while we live this life day by day. Evil things and whatever a person does wickedly under the cover of darkness results in unpleasant reparation. That's why we see prisons overflowing - rehab centers and other houses of reform are full to its seam.

Then, as we step from this physical life into the spiritual realm, eternal reward awaits those who remain in The Lord. And, eternal judgment awaits those who stay in their evil ways, stubborn not to take the road of repentance. 

So, as we have been warned, let's be conscious and mindful, time is coming when The Lord will give His last judgment upon everyone. Apostle Paul exhorts us with these words: "So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. (2 Corinthians 5:9, 10 NIV)

And I say ... AMEN!
