the counsel of the ungodly nor stands in the paths of sinners nor sits in the seat of the scornful but his delight is in the law of the lord and in his law he meditates day and night he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings brings forth its fruit in its season whose leaf also shall not wither and whatever he does shall prosper the ungodly are not so but are like the shaft which the wind drives away therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous for the lord knows the way of the righteous but the way of the ungodly shall perish father i pray that you bless this worship experience today i pray for the people who are tuned in all over the world and pray that you would speak to their heart to pray father you would

never be defeated amen i know some of you may feel like you're being defeated but i'm going to talk to to today for just in just a few moments about what it takes to win and what it is that makes you more than a conqueror i say i say all the time i like living my kind of life because i like living a conquering life a victorious life and so many people are not living their lives in a victorious way and so i want to talk to you about that in just a few moments let's take a moment and let me i want to do a couple things today is valentine's day and i just want to pray for couples because i know the enemy is after the destruction of marriages and i want to pray for families and marriages particularly for marriages because i know the enemy can get one partner in that marriage one spouse to be deceived to listen to the lies of the devil let me assure you any time a voice comes to you and tries to convince you that you shouldn't stay in your marriage or you're unhappy or you need to move on that's demonic and i want to spend the morning i want to pray for families i want to pray for those spouses and persons who are frustrated because their marriage is not going in the way they want it to go i just want to pray for you for just i want to pray for you and intercede for you ask god to give you victory give you hope solutions that our god is a healer and a conqueror and a deliverer and i think it's critically important that we hold you up in prayer and i also want to pray for um i know today is the day that we're women are acknowledging their victory over heart disease that they're they're this has been designated a day for celebrating and giving god praise for those women who have conquered and overcome heart conditions and heart diseases so i want to pray for for those who may be having heart challenges today and i want to pray for those two things along with the other things that we always pray for you i know i ask you to gather with your families and join hands and pray i hope you'll do that with me for just a moment let's pray father you're worthy to be praised and once again we are thankful and grateful and and uh we're honoring you today for your loving kindness and your tender mercies thank you for waking us up and giving us the activities of our limbs thank you for directing our course and and and putting us on a path to encounter you so grateful father and i'm praying we're praying for uh your will to be done in our lives we worship and praise you but we're praying god that in every facet of our life your perfect will will be done that that which you've decreed and that what you said would become a reality we pray that in jesus name and father i pray we pray today for families and couples marriages in particular father that you cancel out uh divorces and cancel out the mindset that so many have and have entertained to walk away from their families and walk away from their marriages rebuke that spirit lord in jesus name is our prayer that you bind that demon of deception and allow righteousness to prevail and your truth to be elevated up israel is our cry and our prayer in jesus name i pray today father for unsaved persons who don't know you we're praying that you draw somebody to a place of salvation we pray father for the backslidden who have drifted away and are outside of living in your perfect will pray heavenly father for uh your truth to prevail in all of their lives pray that you meet the needs forgive us of our sins we acknowledge our sins and thank you that you've covered us in the blood that washes away all of our sins and we pray father that you put a shield of protection around us and let your kingdom be evident in our lives every day and i pray this in the masses and wonderful name of the resurrected savior the lord jesus we pray amen wonderful thank the lord all right thank you for joining me in prayer today psalm 1 is our passage for the day and i want to spend uh today just dialoguing about the power of living a blessed life that's what i want to talk about god wants you and i to live a blessed life he wants us to be victorious and he wants us to do well that's the will of the lord he has made that ever so plain and ever so clear that that's what he desires in our lives and the enemy unfortunately wants to frustrate you and defeat you and he wants to do so many things to keep you from experiencing the power and presence of god but the thing i love about psalm ones is that it maps out a clear course for us of what we can and should do in order for us to be victorious in life and so i thought i should spend some time talking about it especially while we're living in the midst of a pandemic where people feel so defeated and so frustrated we are more than conquerors you need to know that you need to walk in the confidence that god has made you and i more than conquerors but there are conditions there's some things that we have to do on our part we have to agree with god walk with god and be in the center of his will and that's and that's what this first psalm does so i want to take a moment and just walk through this and and let me just begin right here by this these these six verses i want to talk about allow me to take a moment and walk down through all of them verse 1 says this blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly nor stands in the paths of sinners nor sits in the seat of the scornful that first verse is a principle laid up in verse 1 is a principle it is giving us a truth and a reality of what god wants us to do in our lives here's how he wants us to live our lives here's the principle he's given us he says we we are blessed that word blessed means happy it means victorious happy blessed favor grace it means that god is smiled upon you and looked upon you in in a special way blessed is the man victorious is the man i like living a victorious life he wants you to live a victorious life bless is the man and then he tells us what the blessed man what the principles are what is evident what is seen in the blessed man's life it says number one he does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly he does not walk in the mindset and the thoughts and the advice and the suggestions of the ungodly he does not take their counsel i think this is an important point because so many people live their lives based on what the world says as opposed to looking at what the scripture says and doing what god says this is the warning that god gives us it is the challenge that he gives to us that he's calling us to live our lives in such a way that we're not listening to the ungodly suggestions even of people that you like and respect just because you like them and respect them and just because they might have some level of success that's what's happening in this world today we listen to people because they're rich and wealthy and we think that that's the criteria for for them to have a right to give us suggestions and ideas uh let me suggest to you today that my my guidance and my suggestion is that we we take our guidance from this this this word here since bless is the man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the ungodly that means the person who's got who has bad moral decisions and moral pastor lips blessed is that man who does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly nor it says right here nor stands in the path of sinners i like that right there he says you're not standing in the way of sinners you're not you're not standing in the route that sinners go that's great news y'all missed a great place a great uh suggestion uh advice there's not even a suggestion it's counsel from god he says you don't you don't even you're not you're not standing that word standing means connected and hooked to that's what it means in the hebrew that you're standing with them and you're hooked to them you're not in their path of life you're not in their course of life you're not walking with them you're not going down the same path as them i love that right there that's profound and powerful and and amazing he says blessed is the man who does not stand in the way of sinners you're not in the same path of sinners you're not hooked to their way of life i want you to take a look and examine your the people that you hang out with the people that you make plans with the people who who you you're doing things that they like to do that you know you have no business doing and you're standing you're connected you're hooked y'all y'all make arrangements together and here's the scripture from god he says the principle is you're not standing with them but hold up he doesn't stop there he says nor do you sit in the seat of the scornful it says noah sits in the seat of the scornful you're not you're not you're not um dwelling and remaining and settling that's what seated to be seated means that that you have you've made a session with them uh you have connected with them you have you have in some cases married them and the scornful are those who make fun of the things of god they ridicule god they they talk about the things of god they they reject the things of god they verbalize it uh and you know out of the out of the abundance of what's in the heart the mouth speaks and if you've got people in your life who are ridiculing and talking negatively about the things of god you're hanging out with the wrong people and this principle is the man who's going to be happy and blessed the man who's going to be rewarded the man who's going to have victory the man who's going to have be more than a conqueror blessed is the man who does not walk nor stand nor sits in this arena of people my friend from chicago from the uh salem baptist church james meeks my dear friend suggested uh a very good concept he said walk stand sit if this is what you make your your route to be you will walk with them walk in their audience stand with them for a while uh and listen and heed and and and embrace and then sit down and make your life with them you walk stand sit and get settled in them thank you james meeks i appreciate that pastor meeks for that profound insight that that's how it works you you go walk with them first you stand you're standing with them and then you end up sitting making that a lifestyle for yourself and and that's a principle that god wants you and i to understand that he doesn't want us to make that our lifestyle some of you might not be victorious because of where you're walking where you're standing and where you're sitting and so the advice and the suggestion and the strong principle here today is watch where you walk watch where you stand watch where you sit watch where you walk walk watch where you stand and watch where you sit evaluate that in your own your own personal life about what you're doing and where you're going but he doesn't stop there he comes he comes and gives us point two a promise point one is a principle here's the second thing he gives us the program i'm sorry he gives us a program and i love the program because this this is a pattern in scripture a principle and a program then a promise and it's no different here the all of these things are listed right here as well he gives us a principle then he gives us a program of what he wants us to do how he wants us to live our lives and that's in verse 2 and here's what verse 2 says it says but his delight i love this verse right here is in the law of the lord and in his law he meditates day and night here's the program if you want to be more than a conqueror if you want to live a victorious life and be more than a loser you want to be more than you want to be a winner uh verse 2 is the key this is the key to unlock this is where most people miss out on the favor and blessings of god in their life if there's a way i can challenge you today here's my encouragement to you today is put in place the program of this principle by verse 2 delighting in the law of the lord delighting taking pleasure getting excited about desiring the laws of the lord not resenting them not being upset or mad or angry about them not rejecting them but delighting and finding joy in the precepts and the principles and the commands and the statutes of the word of god this is this is what i i love i i i imagine some of you have lived your life on the wrong side of the street and doing the wrong things but now you've come over to the right side of the street and with the right god and know that life is so much sweeter on this side when you're walking with god and honoring his word and obeying his principle that's the program that we're finding joy and delight in the law of the lord this this is if there's anything i could try to encourage you on today is that you make this a lifestyle see so see here's here's our problem we can we do it for a minute 60 seconds in it we do we do the program of verse 2 for a moment but we haven't made it a lifestyle verse verse 2 says but his delight is in the law of the lord and then it says this and in his law he meditates day and night day and night that there's the key in the law he's he's that word meditating means to ponder it means you're the lighting in the law of the lord it means you are pondering it you are meditating on it you meditate on it day and night and that that's that's i need you to get that because this again is where most people miss the point meditate murmur ponder regurgitate when a cow eats a cow chews his food and it passes through his stomach but then he regurgitates it it comes back and he chews it some more he's and then he it goes and it digests and goes back through him again because he has two stomachs and and so he uses this this term meditate it takes its root from that concept of what a cow does that he chews it over and over again and what is god saying he's you know what you know what this means you know why he uses this word meditate he's telling us to keep on thinking over it think about it when i do this in my own personal life what i like to do is is is take a scripture and and meditate on it and think on each word one word at a time and try to think through what each word means and how it applies in this particular text and and what god would have us do is to make that a lifestyle that we're meditating upon it every day all day as much as we can during the day i know we got work and jobs and assignments to do but the kind of lifestyle god wants us to do if you can just get this in your heart and get this in your mind and do whatever it takes for you to embrace this and practice this to meditate and chew on the word of god that scripture the verses that you are uh reflecting upon allow it to uh be chewed upon word by word and that you're getting every ounce of of of of truth out of it and application out of it because you have you have you've meditated on it and then it says you meditate on it day and night so i i used to tell people and i still try to tell people here today you know the devil wants you to go to sleep with bad news on your mind and i would tell you to go to bed pondering and thinking about uh the word of god wake up in the morning with the word of god but i i think this word knight even has even a more even more serious uh application to it it means during adversity it means that when you're going through tough times instead of meditating on the difficulty of your circumstances and the challenge of your moment he's saying to us today that the the the program is that even when things are not going the way you want it to go and you're in the middle of a storm or challenge he is saying how important it is for you to ponder and think about um uh meditating on tough in tough times on the word of god don't meditate on the challenge don't keep pondering about the challenge what he's saying to you and i today how important it is for us to even meditate on his word through difficult moments in life hallelujah so i i want to i want to encourage you today i want to tell you today this is the program blessed is the man uh who puts his delight in the law of the lord you know what you know and some of y'all are listening and meditating and pondering and reflecting on everything but the word of god you got snoop dogg and you got uh uh whoever y'all listen to today who who the weeknd or maybe the weekday whoever he is you you thinking about monday tuesday wednesday thursday whoever whoever it is but my thing is to you today think about the word of life just give this a try and see and see the promise of god and here's the promise his point three is the promise because it gives us a promise this is the third point right here so we i gave you the principle the program and here's the third thing is the promise and and allow me to celebrate right here verse verse three the promise and here's what it says right here it says he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth its fruit in its season whose leaf also shall not wither but whatever he does shall prosper my gosh i love that right there because i've experienced it and seen it in my life uh that god uh wants to fulfill a promise in you he wants to make the promise that he makes he has made right here in psalm 1 a reality in your life uh uh he says i i want to make i want you to be like a tree plant it and i got three points and i got three support subpoints up underneath this point and and the first thing he says he'll be like a tree that's planted by the rivers of water plant it if i could give you a point here that's what it would be you're planted that word planet means you're in a secure place it means you are you are uh you are firmly in place you are firmly you you like a tree you're you're planted i call that planted but hold up i don't stop just at the planted part you'll be like a tree you'll be planted but also uh he said you should be like a tree planet but by the way you're planted by rivers of water you you're planted by a place where you'll be fed and nourished and nurtured when you're doing that you've got a place see some people fall out and fail and get defeated and lose because they're not in a place to be nourished but if you're in this world meditating on the word he said you'll be just like a tree planted by the rivers of water you'll have you you'll be nourished and nurtured to have life you won't you won't get dry you won't you won't fail you won't get frustrated you see the thing i discovered about walking with god and in my life i'm getting excited about this right now is that in this word even when i the devil and the enemy tries to put frustrating and and challenging uh uh issues in my life or try to make me want to quit or walk away or or be tired or weary uh the reason i'm able to continue to keep going and keep doing is i'm getting nourished and my nourishment comes from the word of life it comes from meditating on the word it keeps speaking to me i love it when i get in this word and some will leap off the pages that i've read a hundred times before but all of a sudden god shows me something that i haven't seen before it nourishes me and gives me the the answer that i needed or the direction or the answer of a solution that i needed he gives me something i need to go on and i love it because god gives me a sense of direction for my life i shall be like a tree i am like a tree planted by the rivers of water i'm nourishing i'm being fed i've got i'm not dried up i'm not tired i'm not weary i'm not frustrated i have something to nourish on if you're in a place of frustration if you're in a place of weariness if you're in a place of dryness maybe you're not planted and my encouragement to you today is get planted and i'm telling you today the way you do that is getting that word of life he says you shall be like rivers of water planted you shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water but hold up not only does he say will you be planted he also says you will produce you will produce production if i give you a second sub point to this it would be you shall produce it says you shall bring forth your fruit in your season that brings forth its fruit in his season i like that right there in the right time you'll bring forth fruit you bring th you and your leaves shall not wither you shall bring forth fruit and not wither some of you are withering away and you don't have no fruit okay so that means can't nobody nobody else could even be blessed by you see when the tree brings forth some fruit it's a blessing to somebody and you're unable to bless other people because you tired and weary and withered you not only don't have any fruit on your tree you're withering you're tired you're worn out you hanging on the edge that's an indication something right there god wants you to have life abundant life he wants you to have joy unspeakable a peace that surpasses understanding that's the will of god that he wants you to do and this first psalm right here is giving us the solution and the answer he's trying to tell you what it is he wants you to do what and how we can get what we need to have he and i that's why i love this verse right here love the scripture right here you shall bring forth fruit in its season at the right time at the right season you shall prosper and your leaf won't wither that's the will of god that's what god desires for your life your leave also shall not wither and what and his here's his here's here's the third part of this prosperity you'll be like a tree you you'll prosper so you'll be planted you'll have production and you'll prosper there's my peace today i am giving you all my peace i call this little study of this piece triology triology the study of of of what god wants and can do for you in your life so you shall you shall be planted you shall produce and you shall prosper whatsoever he does shall prosper you know what that's what i'm excited about i'm excited that that i live a life of prosperity and you know people don't like it people are jealous upset man and i know that some people have a theology that people shouldn't prosper that's not that's not my theology the scripture says whatever he does shall prosper whatever he puts his hands to shall prosper i embrace that that's the teaching of the word of god and i like living that kind of life i like seeing god answer my prayers i like god giving me blessings beyond what i deserve to have i like god rewarding me and giving me giving me prosperity god wants you to have prosperity and whatever he does shall prosper why this pro do y'all get that do you understand the profound power of the fact that the lord wants you to profit whatever he does wherever he goes whatever he puts his hands to prospers and that's a lifestyle that i i'm grateful that i've seen god do it over and over again not just in my personal life but in other people's lives who take this to heart and apply to their life and so my challenge to you today to everybody here today is is is the program that he said and here's to here is the promise that goes along with putting the principle in the program in place you're not hanging out with the wrong people you're not walking in the counsel of the ungodly you're not standing in the paths of sinners you're not sitting in the seat of this calling for you haven't settled yourself in their in in their lifestyles but you instead are instead delighting yourself in the law of the lord the command the word of god the laws and in his law you meditate you are chewing you are you are eating you are uh uh regurgitating remunerating you're doing what it is that god wants you to do with taking that what you've what you have eaten and keep keep chewing on it and keep chewing on it and keep chewing on it and drawing every and take it worry about word by word and what it means and how it applies to your life you're meditating on the word of god and guess what and you're doing it day and night you're doing it in the day and you're doing it in the night seasons as well you're doing it when life isn't going well as well as when life is going well you're doing it when you're up and when you're down you you you're pondering that you're pondering it as much as you can that's my encouragement to you today do it as much as you can make it a lifestyle and the promise from god is you you will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water i love that right there you shall bring forth fruit in its season your leaf shall not wither you won't wither you won't fade away and whatever you do shall prosper let me close this message with a fourth and final point i called it the penalty because verses four and five tells us there's a penalty for not embracing there is a penalty for not embracing not walking in the way it says right here in verse four the ungodly and not so here's what happens to the people who disregard here's what happens to the people who don't submit and obey and follow the ungodly are not so but i like the shaft which the wind drives away you know uh when a when when they when they when they harvest wheat and gather wheat sometimes it's it's got a shaft that covers the the wheat a shell as it were and they take that wheat and they toss it in the air when there's and the wind blows off the shaft from off of the uh the wheat yeah and all of the stuff that grows with the wheat that's not wheat throws it up in the air the wind blows away the shaft and the real weed comes back to the sifter it's a sifting process it's called the wheat gets gets thrown up with all of the stuff that grew with it and all of the shells and all of the stuff that's useless throws it in the air and the useless stuff is blown away by winds and god says that the ungodly are like the shaft which the wind drives away the ungodly are just like the shaft which the wind drives away the ungodly are just like that that means this that means they find themselves being blown away by the winds of life they're blown away they have no stability they don't even know where they're gonna be from day to day there's no stability no solidness that there's the penalty it is the penalty of being ungodly of not listening to the word of life and the word of god this is a lifestyle this is a personal lifestyle which i want to challenge everybody to consider i don't want to i don't i don't want to be blown away by the wind i don't want to be kicked to the curb but to the side it's not my desire it's not my life that i want to live i want to live my life in a way that i'm right smack in the center of god's will because there's blessings and favor and promises there now i don't know what your daily practices are i don't know what you do day by day but i i i want to i want to take the principles and the program and put it in place so i can experience the promises verse number 6 says this it says for the lord knows the way of the righteous when you make the right choice the lord knows your way when he sees you i'm not telling you to do this so everybody else can see you the lord knows the way of the unrighteous he knows the past he knows how they live the lord knows the way of the righteous but the way of the ungodly shall perish you'll be defeated you'll lose you'll go by the wayside you will you shall lose i don't god doesn't want you to be a loser god doesn't want you to perish it's my prayer today that with everything that's in you that you make it a regular lifestyle to meditate on this word that you make you make a choice in the decision to be committed to make it a lifestyle of meditating on the word of life matter of fact why don't you start with psalms one memorize as much of it as you can get all six verses if you can ponder it think about it apply it breathe on it live on it think about it [Music] if you if you haven't put this word in your life if you've made the mistake of rejecting if if you're like some of these people who who the scripture talks about who who who've been ungodly who's been a sinner been scornful talk badly about the truth and the word of god you haven't delighted in the word of the lord you don't meditate on his his word day nor night or night you haven't had the the the blessings you haven't experienced the prosperity i get there's hope for you maybe you've missed the mark maybe you listen to people rather than listen to god maybe you have walked in the council of the ungodly maybe you have stood in the path of sinners and sat in the seat of the scorpio maybe you sat down there and made it your life journey you made it your lifestyle there is a god that we serve who's a god of another chance [Music] and i want to encourage you today to say yes to jesus he made provisions for you to be forgiven that's that's the great news that i have for you you may have not done any of these things that i've talked about today but we serve a god that gives you another chance a second chance he gives you the opportunity to make it right and you make it right by believing in jesus and accepting his death on the cross for your sins that he took the punishment for you and died and was buried and rose again and we believe he rose again from the dead you embrace that you accept that he'll give you another chance he'll wipe your sleigh clean he'll forgive you of your sins he'll establish a relationship with you and him and give you access to his father your life will never be the same again it doesn't
