Untitled Sermon (134)

OUR GOD IS A KEEPER

INTRODUCTION:

THE PSALMIST IN PSALM 121 REVEALS THAT THERE IS NEVER A TIME IN LIFE THAT OUR GOD DO NOT KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON IN THIS WORLD. BECAUSE OUR GOD CREATED EVERYTHING THAT’S IN THE WORLD. AND BECAUSE OF THIS A BELIEVER WHO LOVES GOD HAS SAFETY IN HIM. THERE IS A FEAR IN THIS WORLD THAT HAVE A GRIP EVEN ON THE SAINTS OF GOD AND GOD HAS TOLD US THAT WE DO NOT HAVE THE SPIRIT OF FEAR. WHEN A CHRISTIAN HAS FEAR IN HIS LIFE, IT IS A INDICATION THAT THERE TRUST LEVEL WITH GOD IS NOT WHERE IT SHOULD BE.

BUT TODAY I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT OUR GOD IS A KEEPER.

GOD IS A HELPER

GOD IS A KEEPER

GOD IS A PRESERVER

A. GOD IS A HELPER.

Psalm 121:1–3 “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, From whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, Which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber.”

BELIEVERS NEED TO KNOW THAT GOD IS OUR SOURCE OF SUPPORT, PROTECTION AND STRENGTH. THAT IS WHY NO MATTER WHAT WE DEAL WITH IN LIFE, WE CAN KNOW THAT IT’S GOD POWER AND CARE THAT WILL SEE US THROUGH IT.

THE PSALMIST RECOGNIZE HE NEEDED SOME SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE TO DEAL WITH THE SITUATION THAT CAME INTO HIS LIFE. THE PSALMIST WANTED STABILITY SO CAN TOTALLY DEPEND ON GOD.

WHAT KEEP US FROM BEING KEEP BY GOD IS WHEN WE TAKE OUR EYES OFF OF HIM. THE PSALMIST SAID i WILL LIFT UP MINE EYES UNTO THE HILLS, FROM WHENCE COMETH MY HELP. THE DETERMINATION OF THE PSALMIST WAS TO SEEK GOD HELP AND DELIVERANCE.

2 Chronicles 20:12 “O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.”

B. GOD IS A KEEPER

Psalm 121:4–5 “Behold, he that keepeth Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper: The Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.”

GOD WILL PROTECT AND GUARD YOU AND KEEP YOU FROM HARM. WHEN YOU HAVE FAITH IN THE LORD YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT MAN CAN DO UNTO YOU. DAVID SAID YEA THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL: FOR THOU ART WITH ME; THY ROD AND THY STAFF THEY COMFORT ME.

THE LORD IS LIKE OUR GUARDIAN ,SAFE GUARDING US FROM HARM, HE IS LIKE A SHEPHERD WHO CAREFULLY LOOK OUT FOR HIS SHEEP. THIS SIGNIFIES THAT OUR LIVES ENTIRELY IN THE HANDS OF OUR LORD.

THAT’S WHY WE CANNOT BE CAUGHT UP IN THINGS THAT WE HAVE NO CONTROL OF , BUT I KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS CONTROL OVER EVERYTHING AND HIS NAME IS JESUS.

I STAND ON HIS PROMISES, I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU. WE DON’T HAVE A GOD WHEN THINGS GET TOUGH RUNS OUT ON YOU, IT IS US WHO RUN OUT ON GOD.

Psalm 16:8 “I have set the Lord always before me: Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.”

C. GOD IS A PRESERVER

Psalm 121:7–8 “The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: He shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in From this time forth, and even for evermore.”

THE LORD WILL PROTECT AND WATCH OVER YOU, KEEPING YOU FROM HARM AND MAKING SURE OF YOUR WELL BEING THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE. OUR LORD WILL NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO PLUCK YOU OUT OF HIS HANDS, UNLESS YOUR LIFE WAS NEVER IN HIS HANDS. THE LORD WILL KEEP YOU WHILE YOU GOING OUT AND BLESS YOU WHEN YOU COMING IN. OUR GOD IS A KEEPER. IT DOESN’T MEAN THAT WE WON’T FACE ANY OBSTACLES IN OUR LIVES, BUT THE ONE THING WE CAN BE CERTAIN OF, IF WE LOOK TO THE HILLS, WE KNOW WHERE THE SOURCE OF YOUR HELP COME FROM. THE PSALMIST SAID OUR HELP COMETH FROM THE LORD. YOU CAN BE CERTAIN IN A UNCERTAIN WORLD WHEN YOU HAVE THE LORD ON YOUR SIDE.

Psalm 91:10 “There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.”
