The Marks of a Godly Person

UV 3609/10000. The Marks of a Godly Person Praise the Lord ( Hallelujah!) Blessed (fortunate, prosperous, and favoured by God) is the man who fears the Lord ( with awe-inspired reverence and worships Him with obedience), who delights greatly in His commandments. Psalm 112 v 1 When we bless God alphabetically, meaning using praises starting with the letter A and proceeding to Z, we experience abundant blessings. The fervour for God determines the favour of God. As it is put in Numbers chapter 6, His face will look down upon us with a smile, literally. When He smiles on us, the rising tide of adversity against us will also alter its direction and instead of bringing us pain will bring us the rain of blessings, physical, mental peace, health and healing, deliverance and victory. When we delight greatly in the commandments of God, we will have no trouble internalising it. That in turn would lead to personalizing or appropriating apt or rhema promises with faith and confidence that the Lord will bring it to pass in our lives. When we delight in both His commands, His promises and His models of righteousness strewn through scripture in real men who lived lives of faith and uprightness, we will not hesitate to speak or synthesise the word in our lives. We will profess the word in all we do. The promises that will be fulfilled once we internalize the commands of God, His values and priorities are there in the next verse of the same Psalm. Our descendants or our generations will be mighty or powerful on earth. They will be blessed on earth. Such a person will never be shaken, apprehensive, worried or afraid of bad news. His heart and spirit are in sync with the Lord. He will see the plans of his adversaries foiled. He will be honoured or vindicated by the Lord. Such a person will leave a legacy of good memories. He is just, gracious and generous. He will be strengthened and steadfast. He will not shiver or quiver at the threat of the mighty on earth. His hope is in the Lord and His word. He knows for sure that the Lord will send His light to disperse any temporary darkness or attack on him. Doing the will of the Lord gives him immense strength or power. He has reason to praise and thank the Lord ten thousand times and in ten thousand way for ten thousand reasons.
