Psalm 2
1 Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the LORD and against his Anointed One.
3 "Let us break their chains," they say, "and throw off their fetters."
4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.
5 Then he rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6 "I have installed my King on Zion, my holy hill."
7 I will proclaim the decree of the LORD: He said to me, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father.
8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.
9 You will rule them with an iron scepter; you will dash them to pieces like pottery."
10 Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
This world is the kingdom of satan, unconverted men, of every rank, party, and character, are stirred up by satan to oppose the cause of God.
Take heed, lest ye perish in the way of your sins, and from the way of your vain hopes; lest your way perish, lest you prove to have missed the way of happiness.
Christ is the way; take heed lest ye be cut off from Him as your way to God.
Those who neglect Christ, will perish.
Blessed will be those who in the day of wrath, by trusting in Christ, have made him their Refuge.
The kingdom of the Messiah is founded upon an eternal decree of God the Father.
Christians are the possession of the Lord Jesus; they are to him for a name and a praise.
Whatever we rejoice, in this world, it must always be with trembling, because of the uncertainty of all things in it. To welcome Jesus Christ, and to submit to him, is our wisdom and interest.
Let Christ be very dear and precious to all Christians and we should love Him above all and love Him in sincerity.
Luke 7:38. And with a kiss of loyalty take this yoke upon us, and give up ourselves to be governed by his laws, disposed of by his providence, and entirely devoted to his cause.
Let our very actions express the separation from the world and our attitudes and words show that we no longer belong to this world, but to the kingdom of the Lord.
Our intentions and hope be for the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ and not to cherish or have any secret desire for the things of the world. Doing all things for t God to be glorified in the Son without surreptitiously looking for the praise of men.
To be able to endure long suffering in great deal inwardly with joy even when we incur loss intensely. So the world may see our faith and righteousness in Christ,the difference between our feeling, emotions and attitude towards the world to that of the people of the world themselves.
Our heart has to completely overcome the world, the people, things and events of the world for us to be able to arrive at our goal of becoming a crown of glory in the hands of the Lord ( Isaiah 62 : 2-2).
The spiritual atmosphere of the world today is polluted with covetousness and deception which is a counterfeit to the truth confirming the presence of the anti-christ spirits (1John 4:3).
Many faithful servants now often suffer physical weakness, illness, paralysed mind set, lousy thoughts, inactive spirit due to constant suppression, repression, opposition in our natural activities, poor memory, forgetfulness, lateness and our concentration are not as alert as before. Eventually they become powerless.This is the tactics of the devil to render the church powerless.
Most revival meetings and watch tower intercessory prayer meetings now are giving way and all the church seems to focus on now is music and instruments. Worship can only be possible in the beauty purity and holiness of the spirit of God. Without which it is mainly entertainment and emotional arousals in the flesh.
The utmost importance is for believers to recognize the devices and weapons of their enemy so as to know how to resist, fight and overcome him. Though we might have crucified the flesh and overcome the world, we cannot achieve victory if we fail to overcome the works of the enemy. The fall of Jericho of old could not be attributed to human strength but to (1) the word of God and (2) the position the children of Israel took. Only then can true worship be accomplished.
To overcome the attack of the evil spirits, we must learn to resist its power in our body as well as in our circumstances. We must prove the power of resurrection in all things. We must testify more and more to the fact that our Lord has been raised from the dead and that we who are joined to Him and have also been raised.
For we are the chosen generation and a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people that we should show forth the praises of Him that has called us out of darkness into His marvellous light. 1 Peter 2:9
For we must hold fast to our crown to the Lords coming (Rev 3:11-12) for our reward will be great in New Jerusalem during the 1000 years reign of the Lord.
LETS US PRAY
FATHER WE COME BEFORE YOUR THRONE TODAY IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IN ADORATION AND HONOUR TO YOU FOR YOU ARE THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS. WE GIVE YOU ALL THE PRAISE AND HONOUR DUE UNTO YOU FOR YOU ARE WORTHY.
WE CONFESS ALL OUR SHORT COMINGS, WHAT WE HAVE DONE AND WHAT WE HAVE FAILED TO DO AND WE ASK FOR CLEANSING BY THE INCORRUPTIBLE AND PRECIOUS BLOOD OF YOU SON JESUS CHRIST. WE SUBMIT OURSELVES COMPLETELY TO THE UNCTION OF YOUR HOLY SPIRIT AND GIVE THE UTTERANCE FOR HIM TO BRING EVERYTHING IN OUR LIVES THAT HAS NOT GLORIFIED YOU INTO SUBJECTION AND TOTAL OBEDIENCE TO YOUR WORD. CONVICT US, STRENGTHEN US AND LEAD US BACK UNTO YOUR PRECEPT AND STATUES. NEVER LET OUR HEART GROW COLD FOR YOU AND ALL THAT CONCERNS YOUR KINGDOM. MAKE US BALANCED CHRISTIAN IN ALL ASPECTS. IN ALL KINDS OF PRAYER, PRAISES, WORSHIP, THANKS, WAITING ON GOD, FELLOWSHIP AND COUNSELLING OF OUR SPIRITS TO ENSURE HEALING IN OUR INNER MAN. REVIVE US AND REACTIVATE US THAT WE MAY ALWAYS BE IN OUR POSITION WITH OUR ARMOUR LIFTED UP AND OUR EYES LOOKING UNTO YOU. FATHER WE PRAY THAT WE MAY NEVER LOOSE OUR CROWN OR EXCHANGE OUR GIFT TO THE WORLD LIKE ESAU DUE TO SUPPRESSION AND REPRESSION. HELP US OH LORD TO KEEP OUR FAITH , TO RUN THE RACE TO THE END WITHOUT FAINTING UNTIL YOU RETURN. HOLY SPIRIT BIND US TOGETHER WITH CORDS THAT CANNOT BE BROKEN AND CHASTISE US WHEN WE SWAY OUT FROM THE TRUTH. ALL THIS WE PRAY IN JESUS NAME AMEN.
