The Word: Psalms 19: 7(KJV)
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
Dig Deeper: Psalms 19: 8 -11(KJV)
8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

ATTRIBUTES OF GOD’S LAW – 02
We started looking at some of the attributes of God’s law from Psalm 19. Anyone who truly loves the word will love God. I can repeat that again: It’s impossible for you to love God’s word and not eventually love God. The word makes us fall in love with God because the word helps us to see that God is a good God. Let’s look at 3 more of the attributes of God’s laws today:
4. The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes
God’s word is pure because his eyes are pure and he cannot behold iniquity. Exposure to God’s law makes us also become pure like him. You want to avoid sin and only go after purity and holiness. Then God’s word is the secret. When God’s word enters our spirit man, suddenly there will be understanding and enlightenment to our spirit man
5. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever:
As we read God’s law, we suddenly start respecting him deeply. We become afraid of his discipline and judgement and we don’t want to upset him. The fear of God comes from the word and is a motivation to avoid wrongdoing
6. The judgements of the Lord are true and righteous altogether:
God’s is always right. His judgements are the best. No man can advise him. His opinions is are always 100% right. You want to learn to make good judgements 100% of the time? God’s word sharpens our judgement. The word makes us think like him and makes us make decisions like him
May you develop a love for the word. May you develop a love for God

REVISTING THE PROMISES FOR THIS YEAR
As we have come to a weekend of seeking God and in a month of focus on God’s word, it is important to appreciate that God’s prophecy or promises are equally as powerful or potent as the scriptures.
The bible is documented promises or words inspired by the Holy Spirit. A direct word to the house is a Rhema (word in real time) which is equally as powerful and relevant for our year.
Our father said this year is our year of NEXT LEVEL and we said NEXT LEVEL is changing position upwards, moving to the next stage spiritually, physically, maritally as a Church and in every spect of our lives. But for many of us and the church does it look like next level right now? Perhaps many will answer: NO
For some people it might even look like a lower level. But we must not forget that God said we should be expectant of four things.
– New things. He will do New things
– Restructuring. Our lives will need to be restructured and reorganised
– It’s OK to take a step back in order to leap forward
– He will take away all reproach.
Remember Haggai 2:9 The glory of the latter shall be greater than the former. It may not yet look like NEXT LEVEL but God’s word is settled forever. That is what he said. Let’s key in and align ourselves to this.
