Month of June, Food for our Souls!
Psalm 15
A Psalm of David.
1 Who may worship in your sanctuary, Lord?
Who may enter your presence on your holy hill?
2 Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right,
speaking the truth from sincere hearts.
3 Those who refuse to gossip or harm their neighbors or speak evil of their friends.
4 Those who despise flagrant sinners,and honor the faithful followers of the Lord, and keep their promises even when it hurts.
5 Those who lend money without charging interest, and who cannot be bribed to lie about the innocent.
Such people will stand firm forever.
The Psalmist in this passage is asking to the Lord what are the attributes of being a child of God, of course in our modern days we call it "Christians". Spicifically I am talking about those people that have a deep, genuine, sincere and true relationship to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Have you ever ask yourself that question in the beginning of the chapter? Maybe "yes "or "no", it doesn't matter my dear fellow. Are we really make the word of God alive in us? which means that not only as our guidance and knowledge to search for truth but also applying it into ourlife in order that we might be a good example for the sake our faith in Jesus Christ.
In prior to the passage itself we can interpret it in a literal way. I believe with all my heart that when adopt and apply it into our life, then we will never be the same again. It is an assurance that blessings will follow not only into ourlife but to other people as well. As an encouragement I invite you to please start and apply it NOW.
Personal Prayer:
Loving Father I thank you for your beautiful and powerful words that is written by King David in the book of Psalms. Lord help me to apply it my life so I may qualified as your child. It is not easy for but for You O God it is possible. Lord change my attitude. mindset, behaviour and belief to your words. Lord please forgive my wicked and sinful ways in Jesus name, in order that my relationship to You O God and to my fellowmen will go from strength to strength. I pray that I, will be a change person forever until You come!
In Jesus most precious name I pray
Amen
Godbless you!

Month of May.. Food for our Souls
Psalm 91 - (NKJV)
Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God
1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”
3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler[a] And from the perilous pestilence.
4 He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.
8 Only with your eyes shall you look,And see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10 No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11 For He shall give His angels charge over you,To keep you in all your ways.
12 In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him,And show him My salvation.”
Applications:
We all know that the psalmist wrote this portion in the book psalms a thousand of years ago.Its just a glimpse of what is happening around the world today, Isn't it? Just try to look, listen and feel the surrounding that we are in.Famine, earthquake, calamity, natural disaster, crimes,high cost of living and others. If we are thinking about all of these, its scares us! Am I right to say that! Don't worry there is hope and peace inspite all these.....
1) We need God in our lives, I believe with all my heart that where I am today is because of our God Almigthy...
2)If we have a personal relationship to Him(Jesus Christ) and obey His commands , our love to Him will give us direction towards our future.
3) It is not a religion but a personal calling of relationship to God, renew your life to God before its too late.
4) In Jesus Christ Name we are safe, protection and blessings will follow us.
Personal Payer:
Lord Father in Heaven, thank you for being always there for me,giving me hope for my future. I pray O living God, I thank You for providing all my family's need and protecting us from harm and temptations in life, Lord I entrust to You everything . Be my God and saviour ... Thank You Lord, In Jesus Name I pray all this... Amen
Godbless you,
