KEY SCRIPTURE: Psa 1:3 KJV “And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”

The first psalm describes the man who is programmed to succeed. The bible says such a person does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly. It is very amazing listening to the news headlines as they are broadcast. It is mainly filled with calamities, murders and many negative happenings across the globe. Nothing is mentioned about the many life-transforming programs of the church happening all around. The secular music of these times is mostly about sensual arousal. Anyone who occupied his life with such things would definitely not excel according to God’s order. Isaiah 55:3 counselling us as follows: Isa 55:3 KJV” Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.” Our key scripture is a follow-up to an earlier statement about the man who delights in the law of the Lord. The psalmist added that this man meditates on the law of God day and night. This man is likened to a tree planted by the rivers of water. Such a tree is programmed, prepared or positioned to succeed. It is located by a water source. It would not know when drought comes because it has a constant supply of water. It takes in water during the daytime and nighttime.

The above condition of a tree planted by a water source is the same picture God’s word paints about the man who meditates in the word day and night. He does not have to worry about any problem. All he needs to do is keep feeding on the word both day and night. Isaiah 55:3 says, “We should incline our ears and come.”This statement is quite insightful. It says before you hear God’s word, decide to humble yourself to its instructions. With such an approach, you would hear, and your soul shall live. You would delight yourself in fatness.
The Lord says that because you have humbled yourself and have received His word, He will make or cut an everlasting covenant with you. What is the Lord saying here? He says He would bind Himself to honour that word which you have wholeheartedly accepted. He talks about the sure mercies of David.

All these favours that our Father is talking about stem from the fact that you decided to make His word your greatest attention. You actually lived on His word. You spent a good part of your day and even night to eat the word. Just consider what He says about the man who positions himself by the word of God. Isa 55:5 KJV” Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.” He says you would have a global impact because He, the Lord, has glorified you, Hallelujah, what an honour. All these proceed from feeding ferociously on the word of life.

THOUGHT: GOD’S WORD IS A PACKAGE FULL OF POWER, LIFE, HEALTH, WISDOM, WEALTH, FULFILMENT, ETC
