THE UNGODLY


Text: Psalms 1:1

Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,  nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful

One sure way to be a blessed man is to avoid the way of the ungodly.  I know if you saw a road with the caption "this way to the ungodly estate," you wouldn't want to walk in it.

However,  the ungodly doesn't carry a caption around. Now,  the right question to ask is,  who are the ungodly?

The book of Psalms chapter one has only six verses,  but the word 'ungodly' was mentioned four times in it. So let's see what this chapter has to say about the ungodly.

1. They carry counsel, advice and ideas that are contrary to the law of the Lord. Psalms 1:2. Any counsel or advice you get that is at variance with the word, is coming from the ungodly, regardless of who the speaker is.

2. They are like chaff which the wind drives away. (Psalms 1:4). Anyone who is easily carried away with every wind of doctrine and by the cunning craftiness of men is walking in the position of the ungodly.(Ephesians 4:14)

3. The ungodly are those walking towards damnation and destruction. (Psalms 1:1&2)

4.The ungodly will ultimately degenerate into sinners and then the scornful.

Today, be watchful not to walk in the counsel of the ungodly and not to operate as an ungodly fellow yourself.

Bible reading: Psalms 1:1-6.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
