Indeed I have kept alert to God's ways

Indeed I have kept alert to God's ways

Reference- 2 Samuel 22:1-4, 7, 20-22 MSG

David prayed these words to God in song after being saved from all his enemies and from Saul. They can be our words too, as we praise Him for what He has done and for the things He is still working on for our good.

Many times, we don’t fully trust the Lord or surrender every part of our lives to Him. We need to be honest, without hypocrisy, and approach Him with openness from the heart. We often have our own reasons for not aligning with Him, and it’s easy to make excuses, but it’s far better to depend on Him.  

David’s life was a true testament—God delivered him from his enemies and from Saul, through both small and great challenges. Yesterday, today, and forever, He saves us. In every season, in every place, in every situation, and under all conditions, God is good. His mercies endure forever, at all times. Hallelujah.

There are seven declarations I’ve repeated many times (there are plenty more in this single chapter, so let’s dig deeper when time permits).
  1. God stuck by me when I was down.
  2. God made my life completed when I places all pieces before Him.
  3. God gave me a fresh start when I cleaned up my act.
  4. God re-wrote the text of my life when I opened my heart to His eyes.
  5. Indeed, I have kept alert to God's ways.
  6. Indeed, I have not taken God for Granted.
  7. Indeed, I review the ways He works.
No wonder David chose to keep Yhwh as his top priority. The Lord described David as a man after His own heart—a remarkable honour to receive. There’s so much we can learn from his life, using those insights to explore and experience God’s ways and reflect on how He works within us.

Dear Father, David said that my God is my rock, my fortress, my deliverer, my shield, my salvation, my stronghold, my refuge, my mighty rock, my powerful weapon, my shelter. We also declare now that You are our solid rock beneath our feet, our castle where we dwell, our rescuing knight, our builder, our hideout, our protection, our Power, our place of safety, our high ridge, rocky summit, and towering stronghold. You are our trust, our refreshment, our defense, and our refuge. We praise You, O Lord, for You are worthy to be praised! The Lord should be praised! You are worthy of all our praises! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London

The meaning of Resurrection

The meaning of Resurrection Reference --> 1 Peter 1:3. The meaning of Resurrection This verse captures the heart of Easter: through Christ’s resurrection, believers receive a living hope—not just tied to the past, but alive in the present and assured for the future. The meaning of Resurrection for us is, first and foremost, victory over death—death no longer has the final word. While we often see death as the ultimate end, the resurrection changes that. It’s no longer an end point, but the beginning of a new life united with Him forever.  1 Corinthians 15:54–55- And when this perishable puts on the imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then the Scripture will be fulfilled that says, “DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory and vanquished forever. O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING? The Father accepted Christ’s sacrifice as atonement for the shortfall. The Bible says everyone has sinned and fallen short. The resurrection assures the forgivenes...

An Invitation to Stand in the Gap – Easter Weekend Intercessory Meeting

16 Hours of Standing in the Gap along with 45 Prayer warriers – A Easter Weekend Summary Dear Prayer Warriors & BCC Family, This morning, as I reviewed my journal of what God has done this Easter weekend, I can only say: I Praise God for His Mercies.. From the Good Friday 12-hour session (which turned into almost 14 hours!), to the Saturday 2-hour Intercessory meeting (plus an extra 30 minutes), to the hour of prayer before our Sunday services—we have spent nearly 16 hours collectively inviting His presence to deal with the matters close to our hearts: our Church, our nations, our communities, and our families. And 45 of us showed up across these three occasions, cumulatively. That itself is a miracle that only our GOD could orchestrate. I thank God for His resurrected power that enables us to draw closer to Him, access His presence with all His fullness, and joyfully enjoy life—because He has already given us everything. Thank you for standing in the gap like Moses. Thank you for ...

Rabboni- My Teacher- a New way of Knowing HIM

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London - 11Apr2025 Reference Scripture:  Jn 20:11-18 RABBONI - My Teacher- a New way of Knowing HIM. Mary Magdalene encounters the resurrected Jesus, in fact  very first one who recognised the resurrected Jesus. She followed Jesus faithfully after HE casted 7 demons out of her (Lk 8:2). It gave her more zeal on Him as she received a lot! She supported the Jesus Ministry. she stood near cross when the apostles fled or hid. she watched where JESUS was buried. Mary got up the morning after the Sabbath and went to the tomb to anoint Jesus's body. She found the tomb empty, with the stone rolled away. She reported the news to Peter and John, they came and saw the empty tomb, however they left. But Mary stayed behind, was weeping and asking herself, did someone had stolen the body? She asked disciples, we do not know where they have put Jesus Body?. She asked angels, I do not know where they have put Him. She asked asked Jesus himself (:)), If you have taken...
