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.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
