Beloved in Christ Ministry

When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.” The LORD has done great things for us, and we rejoiced. Psalm 126:1-2 May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like the watercourses in the Negeb. May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy. Those who go out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, carrying their sheaves. Psalm 126:3-5 If the Lord had not been on our side, If the Lord had not been on our side, Let all Israel admit it If the Lord had not been on our side, We would have been swallowed alive by our enemies Destroyed by their anger, we would have been drowned beneath the flood of these men’s fury and pride. Psalm 124:1-5 Our help is from the Lord Blessed be Jehovah who has not let them devour us We have escaped with o...

And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature and it is set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. But no man can tame the tongue; it is an unruly evil full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and father and with it we curse men who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? Can a fig tree my brethren bear olives? Or a grapevine bears figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh. James 3: 6- 12 Who is wise and understanding among you? Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self seeking in your hearts, do...

Your faithfulness is as firm as the heavens. I will sing of your steadfast love, O LORD, a forever; with my mouth I will proclaim your faithfulness to all generations. I declare that your steadfast love is established forever; your faithfulness is as firm as the heavens. You said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to my servant David: ‘I will establish your descendants forever'' and build your throne for all generations.’ ” Selah Let the heavens praise your wonders, O LORD, your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones. Psalm 89: 1-5 Who is as mighty as you, O LORD? For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD, a God feared in the council of the holy ones, great and awesome above all that are around him? O LORD God of hosts, who is as mighty as you, O LORD? Your faithfulness surrounds you. You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them. Psalm 89: 6-9 They exult in your name all ...

Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth; sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise. Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! Because of your great power, your enemies cringe before you. All the earth worships you; they sing praises to you, sing praises to your name.” Selah Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds among mortals. Psalm 66:1-5 Whose eyes keep watch on the nations He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. There we rejoiced in him, who rules by his might forever, whose eyes keep watch on the nations— let the rebellious not exalt themselves. Selah Psalm 66: 6-7 You have tried us as silver is tried. Bless our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard, who has kept us among the living, and has not let our feet slip. For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried. You brought us into the net; you laid burdens on our backs; you let people ride over our heads; we went through fire an...

And I will multiply the number of people upon you, even the whole house of Israel. The towns will be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt. 11 I will increase the number of men and animals upon you, and they will be fruitful and become numerous. I will settle people on you as in the past and will make you prosper more than before. Then you will know that I am the LORD. Ezekiel 36: 10-11 You will be their inheritance I will cause people, my people Israel, to walk upon you. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance; you will never again deprive them of their children. Ezekiel 36: 12 You will no longer make your nation childless 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because people say to you, "You devour men and deprive your nation of its children," Therefore you will no longer devour men or make your nation childless, declares the Sovereign LORD. Ezekiel 36:13-14 No longer will you suffer the scorn of the peoples No longer will I make you hear the taunts of t...

HOW DOES A MAN BECOME WISE? THE FIRST STEP IS TO TRUST AND REVERENCE THE LORD! ONLY FOOLS REFUSE TO BE TAUGHT. LISTEN TO YOUR FATHER AND MOTEHR, WHAT YOU ELARN FROM THEM WILL STAND YOU IN GOOD STEAD IT WILL GAIN YOU MANY HONOURS. IF YOUNG TOUGHS TELL YOU COME AND JOIN US-TURN YOUR BACK ON THEM-WE WILL AND HIDE AND ROB AND KILL" THEY SAY, GOOD OR BAD WE WILL TREAT THEM ALL ALIKE,AND THE LOOT WE'LL GET ALL KINDS OF STUFF COME ON THROW IN YOUR LOT WITH US WE WILL SPLIT WITH YOU IN EQUAL SHARES DON'T DO IT,SON STAY FAR FROM MEN LIKE THAT FOR CRIEM IS THEIR WAY OF LIFE AND MURDER IS THEIR SPECIALITY. Prov: 1: 7-14 WHEN A BIRD SEES A TRAP BEING SET, IT STAYS AWAY, BUT NOT THESE MEN, THEY TRAP THEMSELVES. THEY LAY A BOOBY TRAP FOR THEIR OWN LIVES. SUCH IS THE FATE OF ALL WHO LIVE BY VIOLENCE AND MURDER. THEY WILL DIE A VIOLENT DEATH Prov: 1:15-19 WISDOM SHOUTS IN THE STREETS FOR A HEARING WISDOM SHOUTS IN THE STREETS FOR A HEARING, SHE CALLS OUT TO THE CROWD ALONG MAIN STREET ...

I cried out to the Lord with my voice-to God with my voice and he gave ear to me In the day of my trouble, I sought the Lord; my hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing, my soul refused to be comforted I remembered God, and was troubled; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed You hold my eyelids open; I am so troubled I cannot speak I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times I call to remembrance my song in the night; I meditate within my heart and my spirit makes diligent search Will the Lord cast off forever? Will He be favourable no more? Has His mercy ceased forever? Has His promise failed forevermore? Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Psalm 77:1-9 Your way Oh Lord is in the sanctuary And I said this is my anguish; but I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High I will remember the Works of the Lord, Surely I will remember the works of old I will also meditate on your work and talk of ...

He who dwells in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortresss; my God in Him, I will trust Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence He shall cover you with His feathers and under His wings you shall take refuge His truth shall be your shield and buckler You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, or the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lay waste at noonday A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you Only with your eyes shall you look and see the reward of the wicked Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High your dwelling place, Psalm 91:1-9 He shall give his angels charge over you No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling. For He shall give his angels charge over you to...

It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in Man The Lord is on my side I will not fear, What can man do to me The Lord is for me among those who help me Therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in Man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in Princes. All nations surrounded me but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them They surrounded me like bees; they were quenched like a fire of thorns, For in the name of the Lord, I will destroy them You pushed me violently that I might fall but the Lord helped me The Lord is my strength and song and He has become my salvation Psalm 118: 4-14 The right hand of the Lord is exalted The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tent of the righteous: The right hand of the Lord does valiantly, The right hand of the lord is exalted, The right hand of the lord does valiantly Psalm 118:15-16 The stone which the builders rejected I shall not die ...

Psalm 126:3-5 We would have been swallowed alive by our enemies If the Lord had not been on our side, Let all Israel admit it If the Lord had not been on our side, We would have been swallowed alive by our enemies Destroyed by their anger, we would have been drowned beneath the flood of these men’s fury and pride.

Who redeems your life from destruction Bless the Lord Oh my soul; and all that is within me bless His holy name Bless the Lord Oh my soul and forget not his benefits Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with loving-kindness And tender mercies Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s The Lord executes righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in mercy He will not always strive with us, nor will He keep his anger forever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our iniquities Psalm 103: 1-10 He has removed our transgressions For as the heavens are high above the earth So great are his mercy towards those who fear Him As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our tran...

But God, who is rich in mercy because of His great love with which he loved us, Even when we were dead in trespasses made us alive together with Christ (buy grace you have been saved). And raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. That in the ages to come, He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His loving kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of your selves, it is the gift of God, Not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:4-10 The law of commandments Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace. And that he might reconcile them both to God in one body though the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And h...

Hear this, all peoples; Give ear, all inhabitants of the world, Both low and high, Rich and poor together. My mouth will speak wisdom, And the meditation of my heart will be understanding. I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will express my riddle on the harp. Why should I fear in days of adversity, When the iniquity of my foes surrounds me, Even those who trust in their wealth And boast in the abundance of their riches? Psalm 49:1-6 For the redemption of his soul is costly, No man can by any means redeem his brother Or give to God a ransom for him— For the redemption of his soul is costly, And he should cease trying forever— That he should live on eternally, That he should not undergo decay. For he sees that even wise men die; The stupid and the senseless alike perish And leave their wealth to others. Psalm 49: 7-10 He is like the beasts that perish . Their inner thought is that their houses are forever And their dwelling places to all generations; They have called their land...

Lord you have been our dwelling place in all the generations Before the mountains were brought forth or ever, You had formed the earth and the world Even from everlasting to everlasting you are God. You turn man to destruction, And say “return Oh children of men” For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday When it is past and like a watch in the night. You carry them away like a flood, they are like a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up In the morning it flourishes and grows up; in the evening it is cut down and withers. For we have been consumed by your anger and by your wrath we are terrified You have set our iniquities before You, Our secret sins in the light of your countenance Psalm 90:1-8 Their boast is only labour and sorrow; For all our days have passed away in your wrath, We finish our years like a sigh The days of our lives are seventy years And if by any reason of strength, They are eighty years old, Yet their boast is only labour and sorrow; F...

Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have, you murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask You ask and do not receive because you ask amiss that you may spend it on your pleasures. Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you think that scripture says in vain, “The spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously?” But he gives more grace. Therefore he says “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” James 4:1-6 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up Therefore submit to God, resist the Devil and He will flee from you Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double minded. Lament and mourn and ...

Israel, the God who created you says do not be afraid, I will save you, I have called you by name and you are mine When you pass through the deep waters, I will be with you Your troubles will not overwhelm you When you pass through the fire, you will not be burnt The hard trials that come will not hurt you For I am the Lord your God The Holy God, the Holy God of Israel who saves you I will give up Egypt to set you free I will give up Ethiopia and Seba I will give up whole nations to save your life Because you are precious top me And because I love you and give you honour Do no be afraid, I am with you Isaiah 43:1- 5 I will bring an army against Babylon To save you, I will bring an army against Babylon I will break down the city gates and the shouts of her people will turn into crying I am the Lord your Holy God I created you Israel, your Holy King Psalm 43:14-15 I will surely save all who obey me Giving thanks is the sacrifice that honours me And I will surely save all who obey me Psal...

The Lord made the earth by His power; By His wisdom He created the world And stretched out the heavens At His command, the waters above the sky roar; He brings cloud from the ends of the earth He makes lightning flash in the rain and sends the winds from His store room At the sight of this, people feel stupid and senseless Those who make idols are disillusioned, because the gods they make are false and lifeless They are worthless and should be despised They will be destroyed when the Lord comes to deal with them The God of Jacob is not like them. He is the one who made everything And He has chosen Israel to be His own very people. The Lord Almighty is His name. Jeremiah 10 12-16 I will make you well again But now, all who devour you will be devoured And all your enemies will be taken away as prisoners All who oppress you will be oppressed And all who plunder you will be plundered I will make you well again I will heal your wounds Though your enemies say: ‘Zion is an outcast, no one c...

The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard; yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In the heavens he has set a tent for the sun, which comes out like a bridegroom from his wedding canopy, and like a strong man runs its course with joy. Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them; and nothing is hid from its heat. Psalm 19: 1-6 The commandment of the LORD is clear, The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the decrees of the LORD are sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is clear, enlightening the eyes; Psalm 19: 7-8 The ordinances of the LORD are true The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the ordinances of the LORD are true and righte...
