Will you sing?

The sons of Korah inherited a legacy of woe: Their father, Korah and  co-conspirators, led a rebellion against Moses and as a result of their action, God judged them. The earth opened up and swallowed them alive before the children of Israel.

I often wonder, with such a  painful past; how were the sons of Korah so resilient that they moved beyond the shame and painful memory of their father's public debacle, to pen some of the best love songs to God.

  • Ps. 42: 1  As the deer pants after the water brooks, so pants my soul for you my God.
  • Ps. 44:8 In God  we boast all day long, and praise your name for ever.
  • Ps. 84:2 My soul longs, yes even faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God
It doesn't matter what shame may have marred your family's name or even if you were the culprit: Be encouraged, the Blood of Jesus has erased the hand writing of shame and disgrace. Praise the Lord.

May we like the sons of Korah; pray that our inner man will be fortified by the Holy Spirit  with such strength, that we will not become bitter against God but we will sing songs of adoration to our God. Amen and amen

Cling to Me

 “Then they wept aloud again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law [goodbye], but Ruth clung to her.” ‭‭Ruth‬ ‭1‬:‭14‬ ‭AMP‬‬ After reading text, Holy Spirit highlighted v.14, so I meditated on the Word.  God is calling us to a deeper level of intimacy with Him. He wants us to cling to Him, we must become His habitation, nothing else will do. Ruth was so steadfast in her devotion to her mother-in-law, “For where you go I will go and where you lodge I will lodge. …and your God will be my God..” We must not lose sight of  Jesus. Where can we turn? Oprah kissed her mother-in-law, Naomi, goodbye and how many of us have walked with Christ but presently, you are feeling like there is no use to continue. Maybe you have faced  or facing some painful situations and the devil is whispering that there is no sense in carrying on.  Please cling to Jesus, He never fails, He is a covenant keeping God. Let your roots grow deep down  in Christ Jesus, so you will bear fruit up...

Firewall

In the natural, a “firewall  typically establishes a barrier between a trusted network and an untrusted network, such as the Internet”.   Wikipedia .  In the spiritual, the Blood of Jesus is our firewall, against the attacks of the enemy. Hear what the Lord is saying through His prophet  Isaiah: “In the west, people will respect the name of the Lord; in the east, they will glorify him. For he will come like a raging flood tide driven by the breath of the Lord.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭59:19‬ ‭NLT‬‬ My brothers and sisters, daily, this Firewall must be up because there is no downtime for the enemy.
