Text: “…Let the Lord be
magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of His servant. And my tongue shall speak of Thy
righteousness and of Thy praise all the day long.”
Psalm
35:27-28.
Good morning, Sovereignly
preserved Christian! God is Supreme, God
is Sovereign, God is in absolute and total control of all things that He has
Created – and our Bibles teach us that He has Created all things. Glory and praise to our Sovereign Lord God!
Genesis 1: In the beginning God. There was nothing
before the Lord God decided, in His own Sovereign will, to Create a world, a
creature who would worship Him, and an order which He alone would sustain. All exists because God exists, and without
Him we are less than nothing. This is
the only healthy attitude to maintain before such a Holy and Almighty Person
such as God. When we take this attitude,
the Lord God blesses us with the reality of His Presence and blesses all those
that bless us, and curses all those who would dare to curse us. This is the Gospel truth! Hallelujah!
“In the beginning God created
the Heaven and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1)
“So God said, Let us (Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost, Triune God) make man in our image (a tripartite being,
body, soul, and spirit), after our likeness: and let them have dominion over
the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and
over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
earth. So God created man in His own
image, in the image of God created He him: male and female created He
them.” (Genesis 1:26-27)
Genesis 12: God Chose and
Blessed a people. God chose
(elected) and blessed a people with His special favour, a people that would be
used to reveal His will to, by this time, Fallen mankind; a people through whom
He would bring forth a Redeemer for His chosen people - Christ Jesus, Who would
pay the huge penalty for Adam’s sin, his failure in Eden’s Garden where the
Lord God had placed him.
All whom God
chose in Eternity (God’s elect) would be Spiritually and temporally blessed by
Christ and His Victory that would come at Calvary’s Cross, when the Christ of
God would take the sins of the Father’s elect upon Himself and suffer the
punishment we deserved; and bear all our sins away. The Christ of God would be our scape-goat;
suffer and die as our Substitute; and with His sinless and precious Blood, redeem
us from all our sins. Wow! What a Saviour Lord God we love and
serve! Praise the very Name of Jesus! There is Eternal Salvation in no other! (Acts 4:12)
“Now the Lord had said unto
Abram (later Abraham), Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and
from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will show thee: and I will make of
thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou
shalt be a blessing; and I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that
curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” (Genesis 12:1-3)
Psalm 35: 26-27. Because of the
truth of what I have just written above, the Psalmist David was inspired of God
to pen verses 26 & 27 of Psalm 35.
These verses again reveal the Sovereign will of Almighty Lord God
Jehovah.
“Let them be ashamed and
brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed
with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.” (Psalm 35:26)
This is how the Lord God
inspires us to pray against our enemies who refuse His law and His grace – the
reprobate, those who are not ‘elect of God’, those who are in fact, Spiritually
rejected by Him, and thus Eternal enemies of those whom are ‘the elect’.
“Let them shout for joy, and
be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the
Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.” (Psalm 35:27)
This is the inspired prayer
we, ‘the elect of God’ must pray for those who are a blessing unto us and favour
our righteous cause – i.e. to be born again of God and to serve the risen
Christ in obedience to His revealed will, in His inspired Word. This is a fulfillment of the Sovereign will
of God to bless those who bless us, ‘His people’, and to curse all who curse us
and hinder our righteous cause to serve Christ Jesus. Amen.
Judgement Day Approaches: The ultimate fulfillment of this great
prophetic truth and the order that the Lord God has ordained in His message to
Abraham, is hurtling towards its God-designated time.
This same Eternal message is
fast reaching the ultimate conclusion: those that have blessed God’s people
shall be separated unto the right hand of the Returned Christ Jesus as ‘the
sheep of His pasture’, ‘His people’, and Eternally blessed with Heaven.
On the other hand, those that
have cursed God’s elect people, will be separated unto Christ’s left hand and
will hear the terrible words of Christ: “Depart from Me, ye cursed, into
everlasting fire, prepared for the Devil and his angels: for I was an hungered,
and ye gave Me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a
stranger, and ye took Me not in: naked, and ye clothed Me not: sick, and in
prison, and ye visited Me not. Then
shall they say, Lord, when saw we Thee an hungered, or athirst, or a stranger,
or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto You? Then shall He answer them, saying, Verily
(truly) I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these
(His people, ‘the elect’), ye did it not unto Me. And these shall go away into everlasting
punishment: but the righteous into life Eternal.” (Matthew 25:41-46)
Thought: What, therefore, should ‘the elect of God’
cry out continually? Verse 28 of Psalm
35 proclaims the answer: “And my tongue shall speak of Thy righteousness and of
Thy praise all the day long.”
Hallelujah! Praise God for His
grace to us! Amen, praise ye the
Lord! Amen.
