Good morning. Today we are
going to go back to Psalm one. I'm going to change A few of the words to make
it more personal. How blessed is the reader who does not walk in the counsel of
the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
But his/her delight is in the word of the Lord, and in His word he/she
meditates day and night. And he/she will be like a tree planted by streams of
water, which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither; and
in whatever he/she does, he/she prospers. Too many Christians today are
listening to the Council of those who are not Christians. They are getting
their advice from people whose heart is not towards God, and who do not live
their lives according to God's word. They scoff at us Christians. They put us
down at every turn. They call wrong right and right wrong. They don't delight
in God's word; because it points out where they are wrong. And sadly the same
Christians that I'm talking about follow after them. Because they don't
meditate in God's word like you do, they go astray. They don't want to hear
that they have gone the wrong way; they want the praise and adoration of those
unbelievers that are around them. Notice the results: you will be like a tree
firmly planted by streams of water. You have constantly that nourishment from
the water of God's word. You cannot be shaken by things of the world. You will
display your fruit - the fruit of the Holy Spirit – when it's time. And in
whatever you do, you prosper. Why? Because what you do is God's word. And when
you do God's word you prosper in everything. Father help the reader to stand
firm against the storms of the world. To prosper in everything he/she does;
because all /he/she does is Your word. When they see him/her, they will see the
fruit of your Holy Spirit working in him/her.
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God
Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...
