This is the wonderful things about the Bible. It is old and yet it is always fresh. We are familiar with every chapter and yet it is constantly surprising us. Time and time again we discover some radiant revelation of the wonderful purpose of God. 😌

No human, be he ever so good and ever so bright, has perfectly discovered the full treasure which has been submerged in the living word of God. That means the treasure is never exhausted and always revealing something new and yet old. 😌

When the spirit gets pessimistic the best place for Revival is in the optimism of the faithful word of God. No man can be sure of Christ until he is sure of Christ’s word😊.. And that’s why we should live in the word

Psalms 147

10. His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of the warrior;
11. the LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.

There is something that is very important in our pursuit of Christ. We need to understand his heart

There is no better way of pleasing anyone than in the pursuit of what pleases him.

The pursuit of what pleases God makes us pleasing before him.

Man was made in the image of God with the ability to understand the heart of God.

So in this verse we understand that the context describes an era where horses and chariots were used to make war and the swiftness of a warrior meant a good warrior.

Both were used to make exploits against the enemy.

This brings us to the understanding that God is not delighted in how much we do exploits yet the pursuit and hope for his unfailing love is complacent

Strength in the old Testament to do exploits can be compared to today’s annointing to wreck havock and scatter the enemy’s household.

However annointed you are with the pursuit of God’s love, you remain mediocre.

God is only pleased with those who know him before they do exploits not those who do exploits before they trully know God’s heart. (Daniel 11:32)

Seek his unfailing love or as other versions put it, hope on his mercy.

The pursuit for God’s love brings us to a point where God is pleased with us.

Never be on the pursuit for greatness in terms of annointing and greatness without first seeking God’s heart and the serving him with the fear(reverence) he deserves.

: Ecclesiastes 10

5. There is an evil I have seen under the sun,
   As an error proceeding from the ruler:
6. Folly is set in great dignity,
   While the rich sit in a lowly place.
7. I have seen servants on horses,
   While princes walk on the ground like servants.
   The bible talks about an error an exchange that has happened

According to the laws of this world those who rank high are those who are rich.

Now in the spiritual realm, richness is associated with our salvation and our our devotion to Christ. Folly is associated with the denial of a God or his works.
: It is time we understand our position of influence in this world. We are a royalty and therefore need to stand higher in rank.

We have gotten to a level where we end up being influenced by everything on this world except Christ.

We have forgotten our positions.
As Christians, we are considered rich and princes and princesses because we are the children of the King above all Kings.

Get up and have your level of influence.

Most of us the enemy has snatched our positions and given them to his the sinners. It is an error for you to sit and relax in the lowly place and watch as another carries on your destiny
Stand up right and take back what is yours. You walk while your horse is being carried by your servant.

It is time to rise and take back your positions that were snatched.

Have a blessed day.

2 Corinthians 2

14. Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.

We must understand that we carry a fragrance in us. A spiritual fragrance that is felt before God and man.

The fragrance that is felt before God the one mentioned in Psalm 141:2

This however is the fragrance that we spread here on earth since we received Christ. You must understand that just the same way you have a fragrance in the physical, you have a fragrance in the spiritual.

How sweet your fragrance is will determine your ability to draw near to God. And to draw people towards God on this earth. Imagine a person who walks past you in town with a sweet smelling perfume or collogne most of us will look back.

That is exactly what it is like in the spiritual. Your fragrance stands out. Every persin must work on how to make his/ Her fragrance not only stand out but also sweet in God’s prescence.

Your fragrance should ooze sweetness. We are living sacrifices. Just the same way people in the Old Testament pleased God with sweet inscence, you please him with your fragrance. Things that make you ooze sweet fragrance

1. Abiding in his prescence through worship prayer etc
2. Feeding your spirit with the word. It oozes a sweet fragrance
3. Living according to God’s will.
4. Putting the flesh unto subjection.

Topic; The Valley of The shadow of Death EP 1

Psalms 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. The valley of the shadow of death is a symbol of situations in life that seem to be the end of everything!

Facing rough Times, nothing working in your life,you could loose your job or a family member! You may be facing persecutions as a christian, and people are asking where is your God! Job a bible character faced the valley of the shadow of death! He lost literally everything including his health! Friends ridiculed him! His own wife to him to curse God and die! And to him himself he said cursed be the Day he was born!

The valley of the shadow of death is not a pleasant place! God may seem silent at that particular time! Be very careful! This is where people can curse God! The only thing that counts in the valley of the shadow of death is where you are fixing your eyes!!!!!

Where you fix your eyes will determine if you are going to walk through or when you are going to give up, or if you are going to curse Your God!!! Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. At the valley if the shadow of death, who do you face!??..Here is where those who got because of other people, circumstances or presents turn back and they run from the faith! This is where you will hear people blame God!!

Some say now because my dad died/pastor died, no more walking with Christ! Am giving up on God because He did not save my dad from Death!! Who has bewitched us????? But if you know whom you have believed, you can never loose hope in the valley of the shadow of death!! 2 Timothy 1:12
For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

Paul writing this faced the valley of the shadow of death experience!! But he fixed his eyes on Jesus because he knew the one he believed! The psalmist faced the valley of the shadow of death, the enemies were pursuing and almost killed Him but he stood and fixed his eyes on the Lord! He couldn’t fear any evil!

The psalmist knew the rod and the staff of God always gave him comfort!!!

The purpose of the Rod and staff of God is to punish and show the right direction!! Some situations come into our lives to take us to the perfect will of God and purges you to be like Him! When you face the valley of Shadow of Death experience focus on the Lord! Encourage yourself in the Lord just like David did!fix your eyes on Jesus the author and perfector of your faith!

When God purges you just fix your eyes on Him

When you face the Valley of the shadow of death, FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS!

Be blessed🙏
