Psalm 119 Word of Encouragement

 


Mt. Zion IBMU Church Prayer and Fasting                                Thursday 30th October 2025 


SCRIPTURE TAKEN FROM: Psalm 119:67 and 71 NKJV

(67) Before I was afflicted, I went astray, but now I keep your word.

(71) It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statues. 


In Psalm 119, it is a testament to the transformative power of suffering. It's meaning is that hardship can serve as a wakeup call, turning a person from their wandering ways to a life of obedience and renewed devotion to God's teachings. 



In Luke 15:11-32 - The story of the prodigal son, back in the day, the Israelites use to deal with sheep's, not with pigs; and because the prodigal son spend wasted all what he had, it caused him to eat amongst the pigs. It was then that he came to his senses and went back to his father. Sometime bad situations can cause you to check yourself.

The bible says in Psalm 37:23-24 - The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he delighted in his ways. Though he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord uphold him with his hand.

Through trials and afflictions, individuals can gain a deeper appreciation and understanding of God's command, which redirects their path. Challenges can be a catalyst for spiritual growth and a closer relationship with God.

DATE: Thursday 25th December 2025                              Christmas Sermon - Rev. Warren Simon Taken from - Matthew 2:1-13 ...... vs 11 - And when they came in the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, frankincense and myrrh. These wise men came from the far east as mentioned in the scriptures, it could of been places such as Japan, China etc.  The attitude of these men who have seen the star came and worship Jesus. We have to ask ourselves what our intentions are when we attend church, are we there for gossip or are there to worship Him.  No way in history did we read where people were born a King, Josiah was eight (8) years old when he was made King, however Jesus was born a King - Matthew 2:2 - Saying where is he that IS BORN KING OF THE JEWS? we have seen his...

(3) And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. (4) And Judah gathered themselves together to ask help of the Lord: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord.  Mt.
