The Godly Man’s Blessing (Psalm 1)

There is strength and fruitfulness in trusting God, delighting in the law of God and living rightly according to His law. These blessings are available for all seekers.

(1) The Means (v1-2)

a) Separating from the ungodly (verse 1)
Psalm 1:1 “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.”

The blessed man is someone who separates from the ungodly. He chooses his friends wisely. Observe that the ungodly influence our mind by their ungodly counsels. The sinners carry out the workings of their evil mind. The scorner glorifies his wickedness and scoffs at the righteous.

1 Corinthians 4:8, Full and Rich

In their self-sufficiency, the Corinthian Christians through the abundance of gifts and riches, have sidelined God’s servants. The Apostle Paul points out they have veered from their God-given mandate to honour God by side-tracking His appointed servants.

William MacDonald observed well, “The Corinthians were not forming parties around Paul and Apollos alone, but also around other men who were then in their church. However, out of a sense of Christian courtesy and delicacy, Paul transferred the entire matter to himself and Apollos so that by their example the saints would learn not to have exaggerated opinions of their leaders or to gratify their pride by the formation of parties. He wanted the saints to evaluate everything and everyone by the Scriptures.”

Acts 10:1-8 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, 2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway. 3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius. 4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God. 5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter: 6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do. 7 And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually; 8 And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.

1 Corinthians 4:6, Puffed Up For One Against Another

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 17 November, 2016 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of 1 Corinthians, 17 November 2016

Paul having stipulated the qualities of God’s servant and his reward by Christ urges the believers in Corinth not to pit God’s servant one against another. Such actions will gender division in the church. He asks these brethren not to make unlawful judgments between Apollos and himself.

1 Corinthians 4:3-5, Steward’s Performance Apprasial

By Rev. Lek Aik Wee Posted on 15 November, 2016 Posted in Devotions Tagged with Devotion, Book of 1 Corinthians, 15 November 2016

he Apostle Paul was a humble servant of God, he was a steward who constantly examines himself before the Lord. Doubtless, he receives many criticism and discouragements for the good work that he has done. He does not stop serving because of these discouragements. He had to defend his apostleship from the attacks hurled upon him.

Be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.1 Ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.2 As ye have … received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.3 He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved

Faithful Living in a Faithless World (2)

Daniel 1:8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

(1) Begins with a conviction (v8a)

The Bible tells us Daniel “purposed” in his heart not to defile himself with the king’s meat and wine. The word “purposed”, in the perfect tense, signifies completed action, means “set, determine, fix”.

Daniel’s conviction to be an obedient child of God was fixed and settled. He determined in his young heart to be dedicated, committed and devoted to his God.
