   “ Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, Who only doeth wondrous things. And blessed be his glorious name for ever: And let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen .” Psalm 72 : 18 - 19 KJV While magic wands represent appealing ‘quick and easy solutions’ to a complex and challenging life problem, real life situations and circumstances often present a strange peel to everyone. And for the psalmist, who seemed to be a perfect example of a ring marrow from wilderness to sabotage, he rather saw himself as a model of a wonder wand rather than a magic wand. Truly, anyone who sees himself as a wonder wand in the hands of the Almighty God will live to appreciate the magnificence of God and His sovereignty over the challenges of life. Rather than falling into the temptation to wail before our challenging situations and circumstances, we can choose to praise the might of our only Potentate. Therefore, “ Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, Who only doeth w...

  “Give the king Your judgments, O God, And Your righteousness to the king’s Son. He will judge Your people with righteousness, And Your poor with justice.” Psalms‬ ‭72‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ System revolt is a simple response to the wicked and corrupt reign of kings, principals, and political leaders. But people rejoice when righteous leaders are in positions of authority. Notwithstanding, the reign of earthly monarchs and leaders are not universal; it is limited in scope and size. Otherwise, why would an earthly king commit suicide when confronted by superior powers and challenges higher than his authority? Universal reign of righteousness comes only from God; and He gives unlimited authority to His Son Jesus Christ. Therefore, anyone who desires all-round dominion must submit to the lordship of the King of kings and Lord of lords. Anyone who submits to the righteous reign of the Lord Jesus Christ will not have to fear the unrighteous reign of earthly kings.

  “For He will deliver the needy when he cries, The poor also, and him who has no helper. He will spare the poor and needy, And will save the souls of the needy. He will redeem their life from oppression and violence; And precious shall be their blood in His sight.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭72:12-14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ The basic theory governing the flow of electricity from a solar cell teaches the absence of redundancy through the activities of poles and holes. The relevance of every pole is powered by the request in every hole; and the rest in every hole is prepared for the responsibility of every pole. And when needs are duly seen, sequenced and serviced adequately, no one cares who really served whichever status. Likewise, we are made to always be the helping hands of the living God in all our life’s service areas at home, workplace and fellowship of people. But whenever the needy cries unto the Lord, there are chances that some supposed helping hands are being twisted as hurtful hands. Whereas, the ps...

“For He will deliver the needy when he cries, The poor also, and him who has no helper. He will spare the poor and needy, And will save the souls of the needy. He will redeem their life from oppression and violence; And precious shall be their blood in His sight.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭72:12-14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://www.bible.com/114/psa.72.12-14.nkjv If the laudable achievement of humanity can be simply paraphrased, it should be the “deliverance from pauperism”. Dignity and respect are restored at home and the society when pauperism is clearly seen to be conquered. Unfortunately, not many people can see the impracticable venture of eradicating pauperism in their life, especially when the divine purpose becomes alien to their primary pursuit. Even when personal achievements in life are attracting celebrations and satisfaction, the poor in spirit align with God in pursuit of His will in the lives of others. Accumulation of material prosperity may be readily in abundance; but the spirit of the precious ...
