The Earth is the LORD'S, and the FULLNESS thereof; the World, and THEY that dwell therein. For He has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. WHO shall ASCEND into the hill of the LORD? or WHO shall STAND in his Holy place? He that has CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who has NOT lifted up his SOUL unto VANITY, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall RECEIVE the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that SEEK Him, that SEEK your face, O Jacob. Selah. (Psalm 24:1-6).
It saddens my heart to see lots of genuine Christians daily thinks, speaks and lives their lives as if it is not their GOD and LORD that:
1. Owns the Earth and the FULLNESS (everything) in it. So sad, so bad!
2. Owns the World and THEY (everyone) that dwell in it. So sad, so bad!
Because of the LACK of consciousness of the truth stated above:
1. Many Children of God in Christ do express LOW SELF-ESTEEM instead of expressing Christ's worth in them. So sad, so bad! (Philippians 4:13).
2. Many Children of God in Christ do express DEPRESSION instead of expressing Christ's joy and peace in them. So sad, so bad! (Philippians 4:8,9).
3. Many Children of God in Christ do COMPRISE biblical standards to make ends meet instead of depending on Christ's supply to them. So sad, so bad!(Philippians 4:19; Philippians 1:19).
4. Many Children of God in Christ are LUST driven like the people of the World instead of Christ's LOVE driven. So sad, so bad! (1 John 2:15-17; 1 John 4).
5. Many Children of God in Christ do SEEK men's FAVOUR to get things or appointments and contracts, etc instead of SEEKING God's FAVOUR in Christ to them. So sad, so bad! (Ephesians 1:3-7; Revelation 5:8-12).
And so on!
The Bible reveals to us that JESUS CHRIST, our one and only ultimate role model for living a victorious, glorious and fulfilled life to PLEASE God on Earth was:
1. In FAVOUR with God and
2. In FAVOUR with man. True! (Luke 2:52)
That means that once you have FAVOUR with God, you will supernaturally and practically have FAVOUR with men. Halleluyah!
JESUS CHRIST never FOCUS on getting favour or honour from men, but from God only. This because He knew that once He is in FAVOUR with God, He will be in with man. True! (John 5:41-44).
Do you not know you seeking Favour or honour from man than seeking it from God is a proof of your lack of FAITH in Him and the Bible reveals to us in Hebrews 11:6 that WITHOUT faith it is impossible to please God and to receive a reward (blessing) from Him. True!
If you truly desire to see God give you a peaceful, PROSPEROUS and a glorious 2018, then you must humbly SEEK Him ALONE for FAVOUR with Him and with man to meet your needs. True!
That is why Bible said to you, to HUMBLE yourselves therefore under the mighty HAND of God, that He may EXALT you in due time: CASTING all your CARE upon Him; for He CARES for you. (1 Peter 5:6,7).
Take note, take heed!
Now, it is true that Christ has gotten us righteousness that goes with FAVOUR with God, but you and I have to maintain that favour by living HOLY lives here on Earth. True! (1 Peter 1:14-17).
Therefore, our today's scriptural passage above ask us a critical, very important and timely question thus:
WHO shall ASCEND into the hill of the LORD? or WHO shall STAND in his Holy place?
Answer: He that has CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who has NOT lifted up his SOUL unto VANITY, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall RECEIVE the BLESSING from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that SEEK Him, that SEEK your face, O Jacob.
That is why Apostle Peter counselled us to be HOLY as He who has called us is HOLY. (1 Peter 1:14-17)
Do you only SEEK the HAND of God and not His FACE?
1. Seekers of the FACE of God are looking for Him daily in HOLINESS based on their LOVE for Him and what He desire to do in them and through them in terms of His Word, Ways and Will for them in Christ in this World. (Mark 12:28-30; Romans 8:28).
They usually find His loving face and caring hand as well. Halleluyah!
2. Seekers of the HAND of God are looking for Him daily in UNHOLINESS based on their LUST for what He can give them only. True! (James 4:1-5; 1 John 2:15-17).
They usually do not find Him. So sad, so bad!
Which are you?
Don't be deceived, it is your HOLINESS (maintaining of Christ's righteousness on you) that ASCENDS your Soul practically and powerfully from the Earth to Heaven to receive a BLESSING from the Lord par time par your need. True! (3 John 1:2).
Take note, take heed!
Always remember that you are in a spiritual, but real WARFARE with Satan, demons and His human agents to think, speak and live in LUST and SIN against God's Word, Ways and Will for you in Christ in this World, so that your SOUL will not ASCEND to the Holy Hill (throne of grace) of God to obtain BLESSING met for you in Christ in the spiritual places above. True! (1 Peter 5:6-10; 1 John 5:16-21; Ephesians 6:10-18; Ephesians 1:3-7; Hebrews 4:16; 3 John 1:2).
Take note, take heed and start thinking, speaking and living in HOLINESS daily by thinking, speaking and living in accordance with the Word, Ways and Will of God for you in Christ with the help of the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that is within you in this World. (Philippians 4:8,9; Romans 8:1-28; Romans 12:1,2).
If you do, you will surely have a peaceful, PROSPEROUS and a glorious 2018. True!
Now, I was woken up this morning with this song from a night vision where I was praying for some singles who desires to get married.
