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 ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
