NEW YEAR RESOLVE 2


Text : Psalms 147:11 

*The LORD takes pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.* 

Yesterday, we saw one important resolution we should make towards the new year. The resolve not to take pleasure in the strength of a horse or in your legs. This should be your resolve as the Lord does not take pleasure in your dependence on your own strength and effort. 

Today, we shall be looking at another resolve you should make towards the new year. *If your resolve is centred on God's pleasure, then God's pleasure will be centred on you as well.*  If you would want God to take pleasure in you in a special way in the year 2022, you must make up your mind to Fear Him and to walk in His FEAR. For God takes pleasure in them that fear Him. To fear the Lord is to *"....love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind" Matthew 22:37* 

 *Only those who fear the Lord can truly experience a deep love affairs with Him.* It is good to make new year resolutions. But the most important resolution you need to make that will see you through the year and beyond is; resolving to keep His commandments. 
You've got just two commandments:
Firstly, Love the Lord and secondly, love your neighbours. 
If you will do these commandments well, you will hear the Lord's voice as Jesus heard it saying: This is my beloved son/daughter in whom I am well pleased. 

And if the Lord is pleased with you, then He will make even your enemies to be at peace with you.
 *When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. Proverbs 16:7*  

Let your resolve in 2022 be that you will LOVE the Lord and your Neighbours.

Let your resolve for 2022 be that: 
 
 *I am Christ Image, I keep the commandment of Love* 

 *I am Christ Image, I love my brethren fervently.* 

 *I am Christ Image, I forgive all my offenders.* 

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. LORD, give me the grace to walk in Love in the year 2022.

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...
