THE LIFESTYLE OF A GOOD MAN.

Psalm 1:1-3.  NKJV.

1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
    Nor stands in the path of sinners,
    Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
    And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 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;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

The scripture says \”The lifestyle of good man is like sunlight at dawn that keeps getting brighter until broad daylight\”. “But for you who honor me, goodness will shine on you like the sun, with healing in its rays. You will jump around, like well-fed calves.  Malachi 4:2

As much as it may pain us to admit it, we are all products of our environment. Being constantly surrounded by negativity, sinners and deceit, one can hardly hope to maintain a healthy relationship, either with others or God. However, when you\’re surrounded by people who will be an encouragement, show of love and understanding, the same individual may flourish and nurture not only themselves but also those around them.

But for you who honor me, goodness will shine on you like the sun, with healing in its rays. You will jump around, like well-fed calves.  Our reading today buttressed on the lifestyle of a righteous man who refuses to allow himself to be misled by an ungodly man rather chose to be guided by the dicatates and the words of God Almighty is likened to be a tree that\’s planted by the side of waters who can not be threatened by any form of adverse weather conditions.

Do you know that the books you read or people that mentors you have tremendous power over your life. Jesus told His disciples that \”It is not what goes into the mouth of a man that makes him unclean and defiled, but what comes out of the mouth; this makes a man unclean and defiles him\”. What you do with the information or instructions that you received daily is what forms you.

In other words you are what you think or do. In their most common sense, the terms thought and thinking refer to conscious cognitive processes that can happen independently of sensory stimulation. Their most paradigmatic forms are judging, reasoning, concept formation, problem solving, and deliberation. That\’s what our Mind is for Reasoning out Thoughts

Romans 12:2 thought us that we ought to RENEWAL OF OUR MIND SET. We live out God\’s will when we change our thoughts to God\’s thoughts, rather than living like the world dictates. The world will always pressure us to live sinfully and selfishly, but to live the good life God wants from us requires changing how we behave and react over things. “For we are God\’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10.

Our scripture says BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO DOES NOT WALK THE WALK OF THE WICKED

The wicked will not endure the day of judgment,
for God will not defend them.
Nothing they do will succeed or endure for long,
for they have no part with those who walk in truth.
6 But how different it is for the righteous!
The Lord embraces their paths as they move forward while the way of the wicked lead only to doom. (Psalm 1:5-6). PASSION BIBLE.

PRAYER
Lord Jesus Christ please order our steps aright that we may not step in the way of the wicked, Deliver us From worldly ideas that will misguide our thoughts and help us to shun bad counseling because we are faced with a whole lot of decay in the world through diverse means of indescribable information dissemination which have brought a lot of confusion and disbelief even in the minds of the elect. Help us to stand for the truth for your words are True Amen
