Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither — whatever they do prospers. Psalms 1:1-3.
To meditate means to reflect on something in your mind or mouth. So meditation in two dimension.
1. Mind
2. Mouth.
Think on the word. Speak the word.
The 3 Blessings Of Meditation
1. Happiness.
When you meditate on the word every season is your season. God has created every season for us to shine. But only meditation makes us to shine. A lazy Christian is a Christian that doesn't meditate on the word, or power of God. All he or she cares about is what to eat or what to wear. Then when trouble or disappointment comes he or she blames God.
True happiness is based on meditating on the scriptures or the power of God. When you think you're happy or okay without the word of God, then you're living in error. I called such- 'happiness-in-error'. Suddenly destruction would struck such people. In the days of Noah before the flood the people were happy in error. They ate, drank, got drunk, have fun, marry, build houses till the very day the flood arrived. They all perished. I don't want to be a partaker of such kind of happiness. Some people are good in throwing unnecessary parties in order to flaunt their success, or display their carnality or pride. The children of Job all perished because of this empty celebration.
2. Health.
The leave of a plant is symbolic for health (Psalm 1:3). When you meditate on the word of God you will not wither. You won't fall into affliction. Even if you fall you shall rise again. Our health is tied to our spiritual growth. What is spiritual growth? It is growing in the knowledge or power of our Lord Jesus. That's why Paul the apostle said in Phillipians 3:10 that he wants to know Jesus more. Because the more you Jesus, the more you follow Him. The more you follow Him, the more you grow.
The more you grow spiritually (in Him), the more you become healthy. Be a follower of Jesus and not pastors. Pastor can teach, but Jesus leads- He is the way. Depending on drugs and doctor's is not the perfect way to be healthy. The root of man's health is in God.
3. Prosperity.
When you meditate on the word you prosper (Psalm chapter 1). Your labour alone can't make room for you to shine. It is God's favour upon your life that makes room for your greatness. Learn to do the things God ask you to do. Also be in the right place, that is, where He wants you to go. You will surely prosper.
You're the seed of Abraham and prosperity is in your DNA. Christ' children are blessed, and any struggle they're going through now is just to prepare them for their inheritance. Wealth is an inheritance whether Divine or Dynastic. The children of Christ are partakers of the Divine wealth. Through faith and patience in meditating on the word you'll prosper.
