I WILL SAY OF THE LORD

Text: Psalm 91: 1 - 4
In Genesis 1: 26 - 28,
"1:26.
And God said, Let us make man in our image, 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.
1:27.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
1:28.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."
We will see here that the first pronouncement of God on mankind is Blessing.To be blessed means to be endowed with good things of God, to be well and to be successful. One of the blessings of God is "to be fruitful" (Gen 1: 28
"And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.")
It is the mind of God to Bless, it is His desire to Bless and He Blessed us.Numbers 23: 27 - 30; 24: 1
"23:27.
And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence."
23:28.
And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.
23:29.
And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
23:30.
And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar."
"24: 1
And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness."
Exodus 4: 12, 16
"4:12.
Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.
4:16.
And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God."
When God wanted to deliver the Children of Isreal from Egypt, He had an encounter with Moses. The scripture explained to us the convenant of mercy God had with Moses despite moses complaints.Luke 21: 15
"For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist."
God has blessed everyone, it is your responsibility to appropriate what God said about you. No Aaron to help you say it but you will confess it yourself.
What are you saying about God? What are you saying about yourself?
We have spoken about the word of God. It is not about carrying the Bible alone but for you to see what you are asking for in the Bible. Solution to those problem, that your desires are all in the Bible.
If you can't see anything, it can not Bless you.
1 Samuel 17 told us an account of David & Goliath. Goliath terrorised the Israelites for 40 days. By chance, David surfaced in the scenario when he went to give his brother food.
In 1 Samuel 17: 33 - 36
17:33.
And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth."
17:34.
And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
17:35.
And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
17:36.
Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God."
he spoke confidently of his victory against goliath.
Some people believed their Doctor than to believe the word of God. You must filter what goes into your heart because it can pollute your mind. Your own Goliath may be sickness, barreness, failure etc
In Philipians 4:13
( "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.")
Paul also said of the Lord.
Numbers 13: 30 - 31
13:30.
And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
13:31.
But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we."
Looking at the scenario from David, David spoke the mind of God, Paul confessed He can do it through Christ, Caleb also affirm the word of God.
God stamps whatever comes out of your mouth.
Numbers 14: 28
"Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:"
What is coming from your mouth is important. Read your Bible to the extent that you are loaded with His word.
Mattew 12: 37
"For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."
Solution to so many problem is for them to change the way they speak and what they speak.
Psalm 118: 17
"I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD."
Ecc 5: 6
"Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?"
Jeremiah 32: 17
"Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:"
If you truly know & understand that what you are going through is not beyond your God, you will have confidence to overcome it. Some people can not confidently call him "MY GOD" because they have many tiny gods they worship.
You also have to be constant in your Confession (1 Cor 15: 58).
"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord."
You may not have seen it but Say it until you See it.
ITS TIME TO SAY YES TO JESUS
Have you ever asked Jesus to come into your life? That is; are you BORN AGAIN? If not please pray this prayer.
"Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, I cannot help myself. Forgive me my sins; cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from Satan to serve the living God today. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Thank you, Jesus, for saving me. Now I am Born Again".
