Covenant Psalms
God's word is to be passed down to generations for the people to keep on referencing God, know about His purpose and appreciate His work. Psalm 78:5 - He (God) established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children. The followings are discussed: Serve God Only; celebrate God's Faithfulness, and Teach Truth to Succeeding Generations.

Serve God Only: At various occasions God warned His people to not leave Him and follow after worship of idols. God's warning sometimes came as a plead to the people to flee sinful acts because such acts would corrupt them morally and spiritually, destroy individuals, families and even the nation (Psalm 81:8-12). The warning was to help the people reject the path of destruction and do what would make them receive God's blessing and experience divine intervention.

On the call to return to Him, God implores His people to follow and walk in His ways as obedience to this would bring blessings and lead to victory over the enemies (Psalm 81:13-16). Because God's warning hold true today people are enjoined to seek the Lord while He may be found and call upon Him while He is near (Isaiah 55:6-7). God shows mercy and forgives sins but will judge those who continue in disobedience.

Celebrate God's Faithfulness: God is faithful to His plan for establishment of a New Covenant through the root of David. The Psalmist celebrated God's faithfulness for the New Covenant that would be fulfilled and which would make it easier for the people to experience true love and mercy of God Psalm 89:1-18). It is obvious that Davidic Covenant through David seed for all generations has been fulfilled through Jesus Christ. God is to be feared and referenced for being truthful to His covenant, and for His power to show mercy and do justice. God should be praised for His power over the creation and love for His people.

Teach Truth to Succeeding Generations: Verses 1 to 3 of Psalm 78 implores people to listen to teachings and meditate on the word of God. Teachings may be presented in parables and often make idea clearer even if it is hidden below the surface. Jesus often made unknown or hidden things known through teachings in parables using ordinary things people could readily see around and understand.

People are encouraged to pass God's word and command down to generations by teaching children. God's wonderful deeds and testimonies from those He has used to declare His work must be made known to the next generation. In order to achieve this Christians must teach their children the scripture and show them how to trust and obey God (Psalm 78:4-8 ). The scripture reveals the love and power of God, and teaches people the ways of God. Each family and the entire church must be actively involved in teaching the next generation to know and serve God. The scripture reminds us of fulfillment of God's covenant, work of Christ on earth and God's plan for the future.
Lesson texts: Psalm 78:1-8; 81:8-16: 89:1-18.

Wisdom Psalms
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and someone that lives by the Word of God is a wise person. Psalm 128:1 - Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that worketh in his ways. The followings are discussed: Choose righteousness; Avoid Sinful Living, and Establish God Centered Home.

Choose Righteousness: The psalmist describes three levels of participation in sin which seems to be attractive and offer personal satisfaction; but they are set as a trap and lead to spiritual danger. Righteous living is all about keeping God's word in ones heart and meditating on it day and night (Psalm 1:1-3). Christians can become righteous by prayerfully and faithfully studying God's word and obeying what it says. Psalmist describes those who are righteously following God as a tree planted by the river side and which bears fruits in season. This points to God's care and promise for those who make the word of God foundation of their lives and build upon it.

A different experience was described for those who are wicked and separated from God. It is stated that they are like chaff that would be blown away by wind. In order words they are not desirable in God's presence and all their accomplishments will be temporarily (Psalm 1:4-6). The wicked are preserved to the day of judgment when they shall be eternally separated from God and the righteous. God knows the way of the righteous but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Avoid Sinful Living: Psalm 36 also makes it known that those serving God are fundamentally different from those who reject him. While the righteous seek God's truth and wisdom for living the ungodly dishonor God, make sin part of their lives and believe their own standard of moral living is sufficient for a perfect living (Psalm 36:1-4). Willpower and moral discernment are not adequate to defeat sin and make ungodly person live righteously. Likewise, willpower and moral discernment can not make believers overcome sin and grow in the relationship with God. We should depend on God to overcome sin and experience His faithfulness.

The Psalmist talks about God love for all people irrespective of their spiritual condition. He declares that those who reject God would eventually be treated differently (Psalm 36: 5-12). God's love and blessings are promised for those who have personal knowledge of God and follow His way, but those who reject God would face destruction.

Establish God-Centered Home: Homes are expected to be built on God and children trained the way of God because the first family was instituted by God. Whatever comes from the family good or bad flows into the society and will have influence on the nation. Psalmist observes that happenings in the nation can be traced to family responsibilities and calls on the people to trust God and do good (Psalm 127:1-5).

Heads of families are encouraged to commit their works to God through prayer and depend on Him for success and peace in the homes. Children are the blessings to a family and must be taught that they belong to God, and must be useful for His cause. There must be unity in the family and members must fear God to experience the blessings of fruitfulness, multiplication and peaceful living (Psalm 128: 1-6). These psalms highlight the basic principles for living as wise people. Lesson texts: Psalm 1:1-6; 36:1-12; 128: 1-6.

The real change begins with you and I. The president and his coworkers have made us known they can't bring about the Change Nigerians expect of them.

why trouble

To whom much is given much is expected. Mark, Nigerians expect more than your visit. Your money can go a long way if you carry out huge investments and provide jobs for as many people as you could.

Welcome to Nigeria.

welcome back home?

August is still young for salary payment nah... Some workers in some states haven't been paid salaries this year.

Psalms of Praise
We magnify for what he has been doing in our lives and express his sovereignty as the One that fills the heaven and earth through Praise. Psalm 66:8 - O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be known. The followings are discussed: Praise God for His sovereignty; Praise God for Answered Prayer, and Praise God for His work.

Praise God for His Sovereignty: The way God set up the universe and make the system work in a remarkable order is far beyond what man can easily draw conclusion. A solution leading to another problem will always be arrived at as we try to investigate the work of God. The power to make or cause something to happen belongs to God. When Psalmist considered God sovereignty he was just praising Him for His mighty work and perfect character (Psalm 33: 1-9). The Psalmist opens our hearts to the creative power of God, and to recognize Him as the Source of everything in existence. Modern discoveries and inventions point to creative power behind existing things and systems that work. Man is the brain behind technological advancement just as God is the power moving the universe.

God will give us the power to understand and overcome the work of evil as we move closer to Him in trust and obedience. Whether as a nation or individuals God want people to recognize and draw close to Him because He that sees the hearts and know what people think. The power of God still work for believers today to triumph over evil just as it worked for children of Israel and gave them victories in numerous battles (Psalm 33:10-22). Circumstances that will threaten our faith will surely come but we shall overcome by relying on God.

Praise God for Answered Prayer: Psalm lead us to the mood of praise even if answer to prayer is yet to be received. The essence of doing this is to elevate God and make His desire a reality. If we are able to achieve this God will be pleased to answer our prayers (Psalm 66:1-12). Psalmist make us to understand that God will visit and solve problems of individuals as He intervened and solved problems confronting His chosen nation. Because God judges individual and nation's sins believers must not relent in the effort to call people to repentance and lead them to God's presence where there is forgiveness and mercy, and where problems can be solved through divine guidance ( Psalm 66:13-20).

Praise God for His Work: Psalmist praised God for he is willing to meet spiritual needs and redeem those putting trust in Him from destruction. He made reference to God's love, patience and forgiveness as what motivate God to withhold punishment for our sins and draw Himself closer to us (Psalm 103:1-12). Christians must not loose sight of the benefits of serving and appreciating the work of God. Psalmist also made it known that we become children of God when He has forgiven us our sins, and when we are connected with His eternal purpose, having His love in our hearts and acknowledging His works. Psalms 33:1-22; 66:1-20; 103:1-22.

Give freedom and nations to those who deserve them. Lobatan !

Welcome development. Farmers in Ekiti State can now vigorously pursue development through agricultural economy with peace of mind.

I wish other SW governors will emulate this good news and do the needful to save their people from farming for herdsmen ravaging and destruction by their cattle

Kudos to Fayose, A stitch in time saves nine. Once again this is a welcome development

This is just a funny country we found ourselves. Someone could be arrested and dealt with for naming his dog a person's name and no arrest could be made from the crowd which burned house and killed 8 people inside in Zamfara State. This country is blessed with leaders who are morally and spiritually bankrupt.

Pls stop your lies, they have no place before Almighty God. Wickedness and destruction some followers are carrying out in the name of Allah & Mohammed is just enormous. You should have already seen the signals that God is angry about violence these people are bringing to his name.

Why are people killing for God?

Why are people killing for Mohammed?

Why are people terminating lives God wants them to save without inflicting any injury.

They should just stop all these nonsense

Some believe there is no God and live their lives the way best known to them yet nobody asks for their heads.

Some are saying Jesus is just like ordinary servant and even scoring him so low, nobody pursue their lives for that

Why is it that some people sparks off violence whenever someone describes Mohammed the way best known to him or her. Is he or was he not a human being like them?

People should pls lay their ignorance aside and move on with the reality.

pls let's ask God to make us wiser than gods and religions that promote or encourage hatred and killing of fellow human beings

Governor, this submission is a terrible lie, but only a reasonable person could understand that you northerners are becoming more dangerous for other tribes to relate with. Hatred and killing with assistance of the crowd that descended on a single person, burned down his house and killed all occupants for being Christians, though you twisted the fact by stating publicly they were Muslims and to worsen the lies - no arrest was made... This is ridiculous for Nigerian police Terribly bad if that is the case. Killing Yoruba Igbo and others in the North for being Christians. Yoruba ronu o!

So unfortunate! This made me remember the day I held a long iron pole which slipped from my hand and touched live wires but fortunately electricity was off that very second. A memorable day for me. May her gentle soul rest in peace.

finalboss:

What is the scientific explanation for this? I know some scientists and those who don't believe in spiritual influence would say it is a lie!

Killer blood running through the veins of the wicked. May God deliver Nigeria from the wicked ones

@kabrud ... This is internet era where people learn, compare and contrast very fast between people, places and numerous things. Just accept the fact that God doesn't create people to fight for him. Your submission or belief has presented God and the prophet you claim that has his message as weaklings that need help. Commit yourself and your faith to God to help it stand the test of time. Christianity has always suffered opposition, molestation and persecution from different quarters, with the aim to stop God's Goodwill to all people as brought by Christ. Christians don't pick arms to fight and subdue anyone or society for Christ's sake, Yet God has continued to do his work.

pls repent and understand what God requires of those truly serving him.

Why are people fighting and destroying someone's else property because of fellow human beings associated with a religion? Ignorance or bigot? God has the power to smite and get rid of individual, group or association standing against his plan. God wants people to save others in his name, those attacking others in the name of God are just as wicked as the devil.

We should learn to love and live in peace with one another. That's what God expects from us, not blind argument and foolish acts.

Psalms of Thanksgiving
We owe God thanksgivings and praises for his goodness, love, mercy, grace and provisions in our lives. Psalm 118:1 - O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth forever. The followings are discussed: Thankful for God's forgiveness, Thankful for God's Compassion, and Thankful for God's Enduring Mercy.

Thankful for God's Forgiveness: The Psalmist recognized the ups and downs that characterized his life because of his sinful condition but later on appreciated God for forgiving and restoring his life after repentance. He understood that harbouring and living in sin would result in painful and sorrowful lifestyle (Psalm 32:1-5).

The Psalmist points out that God answers prayer of someone who has repented of sin, turned to God and living in obedience. God answers prayer of a person that has unhindered access to Him. Such person will approach God with confidence knowing that He would secure his life and provide for needs (Psalm 32:6-11). God wants peace of mind and good things for those who turn from their rebellious attitudes to life of righteousness and obedience.

Thankful for God's Compassion: The Psalmist appreciated God for responding to his situation. God met his needs and delivered him from troubles that could have caused moral failure and spiritual death (Psalm 116: 1-11). He could have fallen for his limitations and deception of people, but was saved as a result of moving closer to God and experience of His faithfulness.

Psalmist asked a question about how to repay God for His benefits. Old Testament people would offer different types of sacrifices and offerings to express gratitude to God for His goodness. They would even pay vows publicly to show their joy and disclose what God had done (Psalm 116:12-19). The Psalmist noted that whatever happens, even if it is something painful should not destroy relationship with God and the joy of serving Him. Christians have learned to present themselves as a living sacrifice to God from the time Christ's sacrificial death had replaced burnt offerings.

Thankful for God's Enduring Mercy: Here the Psalmist appreciated God concerning proofs of His mercy. He revealed that God will uphold and see a person who depends upon Him through storms of life, even if such storms come as crises from a national leader (Psalm 118:1-21). The Psalmist also appreciated God for the promised Messiah that would come in His name. The One that would reveal His way and bring His salvation to the world. We should continue to appreciate God for His goodness in the past, the present and future provisions. Lesson texts: Psalm 32:1-211; Psalm 116:1-19; Psalm 118:1-29

Too bad some people are animals moving about in human clothing.
