THORNS AMIDST ROSES

There is no argument that the world we live in today is in dire straits. Its a world that is really due for judgement as the enemy Satan has expanded his campaign to reach as many souls as he can even those with the marks of the elect on them. Everything is under pressure including the internet, homes, marriages, government institutions, and more especially the Church. Amidst God’s own garden of Roses are Thorny weeds planted by the enemy.

It is such a tough world to be a believer in. One where consistency in loyalty to God is a very difficult feat to achieve. A place where wolves take the appearance of sheep 🐑. And straying herds will have itself to blame. Then you have cases where goats walk boldly through the doors while the sheep jump high windows.It is totally evil what is happening now.

While the Watchmen sleep the enemy sneaks in to spray seeds of discord and confusion amidst God’s children. The thorns grow and shadow out the Roses thereby creating an illusion of faith where there is none. Appearance becomes the order of the day. Earth has become bigger and smaller at the same time. A system is birthed that offers keys to solving basic problems at a fantastic speed. This is what keeps man on his toes. The thorns have become the open doors. The Roses 🌹 🌹 are no where to be found. They have withered and are gone.

The Thorns; What Are They?

They are the friendly enemies. The Judases. The initiators. The harbingers of evil report. The serial sinners. The devil’s incarnates. The agents of Kingdom darkness. They are goal driven: to pull down as many souls as they can. This is their simple instruction. Destroy until the lights are out. They are behind the scenes wherever destruction happens. They are bad omens and are okay with the sufferings mankind is trapped in.

The Way out of Thorny Situations

Pray to overcome their evil tactics. Pray without season. Then remember to flee every appearance of evil. Don’t negotiate with evil. You will never win. Just avoid everything that looks like temptation around and in your life. Remember to run as fast as your feet can take you

Arm yourself with these Passages: Mathew 26 vs 41, 1 These 5 vs 16 -22

The Vision and The Instruction

Because God is not an author of confusion when he establishes a channel of communication through a human being he ensures there are set instructions on what the individual must do. Divine instructions are tools with which the messengers navigates the purpose.

There are a handful of individuals who after receiving their calls where given instructions on what to do by God.

MOSES

Moses’s calling was a difficult and confusing one. First a very violent scene was arranged to show him a picture of the fate of his people in Israel. Then he committed murder out of anger because he couldn’t stand the oppression meted on his brother. That crime got him exiled and stranded in thethe wilderness. Things got really tough until the set time when God appeared to him. There are then his instruction was clearly stated and moved with it. The instruction made the burden easier and lighter.

JOSEPH

For Joseph it was a tough one. In a dream it was revealed to him what Path Heaven has drafted for him. But that was just the beginning. Trouble followed afterwards. From one hell to another Joseph spent most of his time wondering if what he saw was only a dream. His suffering and temptations continued until the set time for his uplifting. That was when he realized what the dream was about. It was only an insight into what God has in store for his destiny.

These two patriarchs of faith only had their calling finally revealed to them in full after undergoing serious exhausting stages. They were refined by the horror they faced initially. This preparatory phase is still today as relevant and applicable as it was then.

Keep faith in the storm. It may get tougher than you expected but it is for your good. At the end glory awaits.

The Psalms of David: His Prophesies

David was much more than just a King. He was a Prophet. He had the gift of revelation too and did speak often concerning the future and especially of Jesus Christ his descendant by birth. Here are some Prophetic Psalms of his:

Psalm 22 – Prophesy about the Agony of Christ

In this Psalm, David made a projection about Christ’s situation during his time on earth. This was hundreds of years before his birth. He may have spoken of him like one who the Spirit of God arrested at the time he wrote the Psalm. Jesus would cry out with the exact words as David did in verse 1 of Psalm 22.

Psalm 16 – Prophesy about Christ’s Resurrection

In this Psalm, David prayed a prophetic prayer about the resurrection of Christ. The Holy Spirit opened his eyes to what would eventually be the fate of the Savior, with an assurance that God will never leave his beloved to rot in the grave.

In Psalms 2 & 110 David spoke more concerning Christ Jesus especially his agony before and while on the cross. Within David’s Psalm especially those chapters authored by him lies words of prophesies that even today continues to speak into our lives and situations.

Pray daily with the Psalms of David

The Psalms of David: His Teachings..

Towards the end of his time on earth, King David called his son Solomon aside and gave him one of the greatest lecture a Father could give his Son. This was divinely preserved for a time like this and can be found in 1 Kings 2. But this was only one out of the many number of times he had to put this special gift into use. Indeed King David was a great teacher.

David was as well generous enough to leave behind notes of his teachings and prayers which today we call The Psalms of David.


In today’s episode let us look at some of his teachings as recorded in The Psalms.
Psalm 1 – Teaching on Consistent Loyalty to God
Here he reminds the reader that there is a special reward that comes with obedience and righteousness. Constantly studying the word of God pays off.

Psalm 14 – Teaching on God’s Supremacy

It is foolishness to question God’s existence. God dwells on high from where he judges all things.
In this Chapter like in some others, David reiterates the goodness of God


Psalm 15 – Teaching on God’s Benevolence

The Psalmist here describes God as one who lends his money without usury and does not accept a bribe against the innocent.God keeps his oath even though he doesn’t have to.

Psalm 91 – Teaching on God’s Divine Protection

The Psalmist here describes God as a reliable defender and protector of those who run to and into him. David for one enjoyed this benefit so spoke out of experience. This is promise towards every one that run to him.
