THE PANDEMIC CHALLENGE: ALWAYS KNOW FOR SURE THAT – YOU ARE THE CHURCH THAT GOD IS BUILDING

THE PANDEMIC CHALLENGE: ALWAYS KNOW FOR SURE THAT – YOU ARE THE CHURCH THAT GOD IS BUILDING – NO ROOM TO FEAR!
 
“Come, my people, enter thou into thy CHAMBERS, and SHUT THY DOORS about thee: HIDE THYSELF as it were for a LITTLE MOMENT, until the INDIGNATION be overpast” Isaiah 26:20.
 
In the pandemic challenge, our Christian or Believing Faith in Christ Jesus stead toward Father God is a testing time of our Faith reality’s. And to authenticate the earnestness of our Faith in Christ Jesus toward father God, one must always and intentionally be assured to know and understand in order to ensure that we are different in the world though in the world of pandemic – that You ARE the Church that God is Building; and you ARE not being closed as supposedly indicates because – You Can’t be closed – it’s just the GATHERING [MEETING] place that’s been shut temporarily while you the real Church it’s alive in the grace and not limited by the building. There is now no more time to play games with our life or that of others but to take the spiritual stand in wisdom to direct you, on how to do life and live godly, in such a time as the – pandemic.
 
“If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to MORE strength: BUT WISDOM IS PROFITABLE TO DIRECT” Ecclesiastes 10:10.
 
The Scriptures says that wisdom is PROFITABLE to direct. And because not all of us are in the same wave of grace and strenght as a Church to withstand robustly some measures, it’s very important that every sacrifice to help especially the young in Faith are considered – hence the building gathering may be considered shut for the time been, the services for the advancement of the Kingdom Causes are not shut. It’s not a weakening but a wise sense to flourish all. It’s a challenge to a the awakening of the times in order to become WHAT you are and of WHOM you are in all circumstances.
 
For Apostle Paul did say, for the WEAK I became WEAK to make them grow along and together as others, to the place of STRENGHT – that’s what a good shepherd of the flocks does. And to the strong, I do all I can to keep them strenghten the more he said. As we take care for the Sheep, so the Lambs who are most vulnerable, for they can’t be forgotten; they are part of this journey of LIFE and GRACE in the Kingdom Causes of our God – to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay.
 
“To the WEAK became I as WEAK, that I might GAIN the WEAK: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means SAVE some. 23 And this I do for the GOSPEL’S SAKE, that I might be partaker thereof with you” 1 Corinthians 9:22-23.
 
“We then that are STRONG ought to bear the INFIRMITIES of the WEAK, and not to please ourselves. 2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to EDIFICATION. 3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me” Romans 15:1-3.
 
For we are the Church being built of the Father God in our Lord Christ Jesus by the Word through prayers in the empowering of the Holy Spirit; as such we the Church are not the structurally and architecturally building; hence as a charismatic and dynamic body, we can adapt with the changes to advance the Kingdom Causes of our God as we keep the enemy and cohorts at bay through this period until the world present predicament come to a hold at least.
 
As Moses and His leadership was able to take along the mobile Church in the wilderness to the promised land of grace in spite of the ups and downs, may every Pastoral leadership I pray, will by God’s wisdom takes God’s people under their Shepherding to the places of stability, strength and counsel in LIFE and GODLINESS during this challenging and difficult times of our Health and Economic depravity, as we all all being tested again WORLD wide.
 
The Churches leadership can use the services of the home cell groups or and social media streamlining platforms or and recorded videos and or Audio and video formats to transmit the Word to keep the Church services alive and engaged gracefully and graciously in knowledge and understanding without disruptions. More so, using the telephone lines as timeless avenues for counseling and prayers where needed in cause of channeling cares.
 
May I make this profound note for everyone to know that during the cause and course of this process that the dynamics in which we go about doing and running Church services will be changing and denominational boundary and limitations will be broken. So get ready to wise up from the limited bonds and conditions you may have build yourself all these while.
 
Its my prayers that as Pastoral leadership team open up the more to the Holy Spirit, there will be absolute update to lead the flocks of God unhindered in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead.

“I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to SUPPORT THE WEAK, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to GIVE than to RECEIVE” Acts 20:35.
 
“And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ” Matthew 16:16-20.
 
“So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY LAMBS. 16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP” John 21:16-17.
 
“And I will give you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall feed you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.
 
“The ELDERS which are among you I EXHORT, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 2 FEED THE FLOCK of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 3 neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. 4 And when the CHIEF SHEPHERD shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away” 1 Peter 5:1-4.

THE GLORIOUS CHURCH OF CHRIST JESUS

By Leave a Comment

THE GLORIOUS CHURCH OF CHRIST JESUS: THE CHURCH – IS THE YOU – AND IS STRONG, GLORIOUS, MILITANT AND TRIUMPHANT!

“When He had DISARMED the RULERS and AUTHORITIES [those SUPERNATURAL FORCES of EVIL operating AGAINST us], He made a PUBLIC EXAMPLE [SPECTACLE] of them [EXHIBITING them as CAPTIVES in His TRIUMPHAL PROCESSION], having TRIUMPHED over them through the cross” Colossians 2:15/Amplified.

The Church of Christ is engaged constantly and continuously in spiritual warfare. And everyone born of God’s nature in Christ Jesus, needs to know it and be readily engaged in this spiritual battle that has physical effect in our world with resultant challenges to individual life’s, family homes, communities, nations and more. And you are that Church, and you are STRONG, GLORIOUS, MILITANT and TRIUMPHANT. However, we need only to engage with the good spiritual warfare and the good fight of faith – which thus indicates that you can be busy and wrongly fighting a bad fight and a bad warfare – hence you must intentionally and pragmatically choose your battles to avoid being a victim and prey and captive.

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest WAR A GOOD WARFARE . . .” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

“FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12.

However, the glorious Church though engage in constant militant spiritual warfare, should know also, is a triumphant Church. A church that’s enacting and authenticating from the position of TRIUMPH and not striving to win the battle because the battle had been won and the Church is an OVERCOMER, VICTORIOUS and MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus. And each warfare and battle refine, refreshes, energizes and renews the Church; hence the Church is glorious, because its beauty is awesome despite satanic and cohorts efforts to fake, duplicate, adulterate, dilute and counterfeit this glorious attributes.

Therefore, get engaged and don’t watch from the sidelines or grandstand else you become a victim rather than a victor. You are a VICTOR, WINNER, OVERCOMER and MORE THAN CONQUERORS anyday and anyway and anywhere as long as you know and understand that you are equipped as being born of God and filled with His Spirit to get engaged with this battles within and without.

“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

For the GREATER one lives in you 24/7 to keep you STRONG and STRENGHTEN in His BLESSEDNESS as His Ambassador. And much more, the KNOWING that your STRENGHT is in the Lord and not in yourself, makes the battle WON before and ahead of the start.

I pray you God’s grace, wisdom and speed in everyway in His BLESSEDNESS, to be STRONG, GLORIOUS, MILITANT AND TRIUMPHANT in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

With these weapons I can capture rebels and bring them back to God and change them into men whose hearts’ desire is obedience to Christ. 6 I will use these weapons against every rebel who remains after I have first used them on you yourselves and you surrender to Christ” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (LB).

GOD’S BATTLE AXE AND WEAPONS OF WAR – THAT’S WHO AND WHAT YOU ARE

GOD’S BATTLE AXE – YOU ARE: THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST –  TRIUMPHANT IN EVERYWHERE AND EVERYWAY!

“Crowns and thrones may perish

Kingdoms rise and wane

But the Church of Jesus constant will remain:

Gates of hell can never

‘Gainst that Church prevail;

We have Christ’s own promise –

And that cannot fail” – S. Baring-Gould.

Yea, Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political groups/parties, Political and Military ruler’s and dictators, Kings and other Satanic evil and wicked Cohorts, have risen and fallen; and each have lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died; yet the Church of Jesus Christ, the GREATEST and only UNPARALLELED force known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on TRIUMPHANTLY in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges; and of all the attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS.

“When He had DISARMED the RULERS and AUTHORITIES [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He made a PUBLIC example of them [exhibiting them as captives in His TRIUMPHAL PROCESSION], having TRIUMPHED over them through THE CROSS” Colossians 2:15/Amplified.

“But THANKS be to God, who always LEADS us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and makes EVIDENT everywhere the SWEET FRAGRANCE of the KNOWLEDGE of Him” 2 Corinthians 2:14/Amplified.

The Churches GLORIOUS and TRIUMPHANT march is simply because the Kingdom Cause [plan, purpose and pursuit] is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM, the DOMINION over the forces of darkness known and yet to be known, assures and endures, and will assures and endures through ALL GENERATIONS.

“Thy KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, and thy DOMINION endureth throughout ALL GENERATIONS” Psalms 145:13.

“For THE KINGDOM is the Lord’s: and He is the GOVERNOR among THE NATIONS” Psalms 22:28.

Therefore, as God’s Battle Axe and Weapons of War, God’s Church in Christ Jesus, it’s time to ARISE and BUILD with that selfless hearts of FAITH, HOPE and LOVE again, in order to set things alright in the human DECADENCE and PERVERSIONS that we all see EVERY DAY on our denominations/churches, Homes, Streets, Roads, Governments, Communities and in every places of living and doing life.

“THOU ART MY BATTLE AXE AND WEAPONS OF WAR: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms . . .” Jeremiah 51:20-23.

For we as the Church have been given so much tremendous authority and power to TRIUMPH over the ENEMY and COHORTS; and we are to bring about the atmosphere we earnestly desired to COLOUR OUR WORLDS with the good and goodness of our God, until Christ Jesus returns, for the fulness of our God and well-being in us, in His stead.

FOR WE ARE God’s BATTLE AXE and WEAPONS OF WAR – the Church of JESUS CHRIST – with the mandate to be TRIUMPHANT in DOMINION, in EVERYWHERE and EVERYWAY. AMEN.

THEREFORE,

CHURCH ARISE!

AND YOU ARE THE CHURCH!!

IT’S NOT THE ARCHITECTURAL BUILDING!!!

And God has promised to protect, rescue and deliver you – the Church, from the evil in this present world and age. Just let Him be God, and He will honour His WORD as written:

“Grace to you and peace [inner calm and spiritual well-being] from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave Himself [as a sacrifice to atone] for our sins [to save and sanctify us] so that He might RESCUE us from this PRESENT EVIL AGE, in accordance with the WILL and PURPOSE and PLAN of our God and Father— 5 to Him be [ascribed all] the glory through the ages of the ages.

LIVING THOUGHT: YOU ARE GOD’S CHURCH

LIVING THOUGHT: YOU ARE GOD’S CHURCH – A PART OF THE CHURCHES OF GOD!

“. . . 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and THE GATES OF HELL shall not prevail against it . . .” Matthew 16:14-20.

“Give none offence, neither to THE JEWS, nor to THE GENTILES, nor to THE CHURCH of God: 33 even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved” 1 Corinthians 10:32-33.

“Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me DAILY, the CARE of all THE CHURCHES” 2 Corinthians 11:28.

The CHURCH is NOT the CATHEDRAL or STRUCTURAL BUILDING or DENOMINATIONISED CREED OR RELIGIOUS INCLINATION of any kind that you may think. For YOU ARE the Church and a part of THE CHURCHES of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen! You ARE a member in particular of the body of Christ Jesus [1 Corinthians 12:12-27; Ephesians 5:22-33] – which means you ARE one of the Church of the Churches that the Saviour and Lord, Christ Jesus, is building, the Church that’s been saved and washed by His blood, and had been REDEEMED from every kindred, nation, tongue, people and of irrespective of any measures [Matthew 16:18; Revelation 1:5-6; Revelation 5:9-10].

You ARE that God’s building, that’s undergoing His works 24/7, ascribed as a HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people, a CHOSEN generation and a ROYAL priesthood, that has received mercies and set to show forth the praise of Him that has called you from darkness into His marvelous light of fellowship with Saviour and Lord – Christ Jesus. Amen [1 Peter 2:9-10; 1 Corinthians 1:9; 1 Corinthians 3:8-9]. You ARE God’s temple, His dwelling place [1 Corinthians 6:19-20]. You ARE of God and He lives in you. You are the dwelling of the Holy Godhead and the greater one resides in you. That’s awesomeness, graciousness, gracefulness and BLESSEDNESS indeed.

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is he that is in you, than he that is in the world . . .6 We ARE of God: he that KNOWETH God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby KNOW we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4, 6.

It’s a high time you know who you ARE and ARE BECOMING of God in Christ Jesus stead; otherwise, you may be subject to the SECTARIANISM and DENOMINATIONALISM and RELIGIOSITY that’s embedded in the tradition of men, the make-belief and dogmas, creeds, bylaws and philosophy that leads to further BONDAGES and not after Christ Jesus stead. When you know you are the Church, you won’t be having infighting as the Corinthians Churches who compete, compare and lay claims to dominance as to saying – “I am of Paul or I am of Apollos” that the nearly ruined their faith of God in Christ Jesus. Even today, many have subjected themselves to – “I am of this DENOMINATION, and of that SECTARIANISM or and of that Apostle or Prophet or Pastor and such like, than to being after Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus, as His Church, a part of the Churches of God in Him.

“. . . 6 As ye have therefore RECEIVED Christ Jesus the Lord, so WALK ye in him: 7 ROOTED and BUILT up in him, and STABLISHED in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 BEWARE LEST ANY MAN SPOIL you through PHILOSOPHY and VAIN DECEIT, after the TRADITION OF MEN, after the RUDIMENTS of the world, and NOT AFTER Christ. 9 For in him DWELLETH all the FULNESS of the Godhead bodily. . .” Colossians 2:1-23.

“. . . 3 For ye are yet CARNAL: for whereas there is among you ENVYING, and STRIFE, and DIVISIONS, are ye not CARNAL, and WALK AS MEN? 4 For while one saith, I AM OF PAUL; AND ANOTHER, I AM OF APOLLOS; ARE YE NOT CARNAL? 5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? 6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase  . . .” 1 Corinthians 3:1-9

Gathering at the structural building is Scripturally good, needful and helpful but it’s not the Church. It’s you, your PRESENCE in that place and with OTHERS that makes the building in terms “the Church and the CHURCHES” per se, otherwise it could be any hall or places of doing life also like restaurants, Office, Leisure centre etc.

“NOT FORSAKING the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as the MANNER of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25.

“But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the GENERAL ASSEMBLY and CHURCH of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel” Hebrews 12:22-24.

Know for certainty, that the Church, is made up firstly, of the individual – you, then the local – group gathering otherwise called assembly and the universal body, of the born of God in Christ Jesus, under a shepherd. This is worth noting as you do life in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. The Church/Churches is/are not reckoned by any religion or religious or religiosity attached to a set denomination and affiliates, but as a body, living under God in Christ Jesus stead, by the Holy Spirit leads and leadership, through the living WORD of God.

Therefore, SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK, for you ARE the CHURCH that Father God is building in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore if ANY MAN be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE (CREATION): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” 2 Corinthians 5:17 (Emphasis Mine).

“. . . 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and THE GATES OF HELL shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt BIND on earth shall be BOUND in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt LOOSE on earth shall be LOOSED in heaven . . .” Matthew 16:14-20.

“Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 9 For WE ARE LABOURERS together with God: ye ARE God’s HUSBANDRY, ye ARE God’s BUILDING” 1 Corinthians 3:8-9.

“and what agreement hath the TEMPLE of God with idols? for ye ARE the TEMPLE of the living God; as God hath said, I will DWELL in them, and WALK in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people” 2 Corinthians 6:16.

“Know ye not that ye ARE the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you? 17 If any man defile the TEMPLE of God, him shall God destroy; for the TEMPLE of God is holy, which TEMPLE ye ARE.” 1 Corinthians 3:16-20.

“What? know ye not that your body is the TEMPLE of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye HAVE of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore GLORIFY God in your BODY, and in your SPIRIT, which ARE God’s” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.

GOD IS ON HIS KINGDOM CAUSE: IT’S TIME FOR THE CHURCH TO ARISE AND BE ON GOD’S KINGDOM CAUSE!

“He DISAPPOINTED the DEVICES of the CRAFTY, so that their HANDS cannot PERFORM their ENTERPRISE” Job 5:12.

The lawful captives shall be FREE from evil and from the evil one. The ENTERPRISE of the evil one must be brought down to end it’s evil and wickedness everywhere – in high and low places. And God has promised as part of His WILL, to DELIVER the righteous from the bondage of the evil and wicked that’s at work to do EVIL and WICKEDNESS in the world’s about us. Deliverance and wholeness is possible with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from this PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

“Shall the PREY be TAKEN from the MIGHTY, Or the CAPTIVES of the RIGHTEOUS be DELIVERED? 25 But thus says the Lord: “Even the CAPTIVES of the MIGHTY shall be TAKEN away, And the PREY of the TERRIBLE be  DELIVERED; For I will CONTEND with him who CONTENDS with you, And I will save your children. 26 I will FEED those who OPPRESS you with their own flesh, And they shall be drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine. All flesh shall know That I, the Lord, am your Savior, And your redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob” Isaiah 49:24-26.

And it’s not by human power, not by human might but by God’s Spirit in and through His Church in Christ Jesus stead. This is possible, simply because we are not wrestling against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in the the higher places; more so, the weapons of our warfare are not man made and crafted – meaning, it’s not limited by geographical location; and it’s efficiency is unparalleled and unmatchable to it’s effect in pulling down of the strongholds of the ENEMY and COHORTS; and in the bringing down of all things under subjection and subjugation, to the OBEDIENCE of God’s word in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. This is as written:

“For though we walk in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the weapons of man. 4 The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 being ready to punish every act of disobedience, when your own obedience [as a church] is complete” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6/AMPLIFIED.

Therefore, Church ARISE from all fear phobias, awake to your place of leadership and direction of travel, in advancing the kingdom cause of our God, thereby keeping the enemy and cohort at bay.

You are the Church that God is building – not the building. And the gates of hades cannot prevail even it’s crafting, counterfeiting, adulteration and masquerading. For God is not calling us to a structural building but He is building His Church which is you to take on the forces of darkness that’s long gone defeated and crippled for us in Christ Jesus redemption deed off victory, triumph, and such like [Matthew 16:13-20; Colossians 1:12-14 NKJV, Colossians 2:14-15; Galatians 3:13-14; Revelation 12:11; 1 John 5:3-5; 1 Corinthians 15:57; Romans 8:37; 2 Corinthians 2:24].

 As we ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS in God by Christ Jesus, we should be assured and emboldened to be on God’s KINGDOM CAUSE. For it’s high time for the church to arise and be on God’s kingdom cause in order to be kingdom relevant as Christ Jesus was in humanity.

“You men of Israel, listen to what I have to say: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man ACCREDITED and POINTED out and SHOWN forth and COMMENDED and ATTESTED to you by God by the MIGHTY WORKS and [the POWER of performing] wonders and signs which God worked through Him [right] in your midst, as you yourselves know” Acts 2:22 AMPLIFIED.

Jesus Christ in humanity, followed the Father God kingdom cause and purpose for Him intentionally and unreservedly; the Father God APPROVED and ACCREDITED Him though He was a Son – Hebrews 5:1-10. I therefore as you – Will you let God approve and accredit you as 2 Timothy 2:15 in order to be relevant to His kingdom cause and purpose?  Will you do what God requires you to do?   SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“He DISAPPOINTED the DEVICES of the CRAFTY, so that their HANDS cannot PERFORM their ENTERPRISE. 13 He taketh the WISE in their own CRAFTINESS: and the COUNSEL of the FROWARD is carried HEADLONG. 14 They meet with DARKNESS in the DAYTIME, and GROPE in the NOONDAY as in the NIGHT. 15 But he SAVETH the poor from the SWORD, from their MOUTH, and from the HAND of the MIGHTY. 16 So the POOR hath HOPE, and iniquity STOPPETH her mouth” Job 5:12-16.

“Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by MIGHT, nor by POWER, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. 7 Who art THOU, O great MOUNTAIN? before Zerubbabel thou shalt BECOME a PLAIN: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it” Zechariah 4:6–7.

“Who hath DELIVERED us from the power of darkness, and hath TRANSLATED us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, even the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:13-14.

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might DESTROY him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of death were all their lifetime subject to BONDAGE” Hebrews 2:14-15.

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this PURPOSE the Son of God was MANIFESTED, that he might DESTROY the WORKS of the devil” 1 John 3:8.

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, FORESEEING that God would JUSTIFY the HEATHEN through FAITH, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of FAITH are BLESSED with faithful Abraham . . .13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being MADE a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through FAITH . . . 26 For ye are all the CHILDREN of God by FAITH in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been BAPTIZED into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER bond nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female: for ye are all ONE in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s SEED, and HEIRS according to the promise” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

“Behold, they shall SURELY gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together AGAINST thee shall FALL for thy sake. 16 Behold, I have created the smith that BLOWETH the COALS in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have CREATED the WASTER to DESTROY. 17 No WEAPON that is FORMED AGAINST thee shall PROSPER; and every TONGUE that shall RISE against thee in JUDGMENT thou shalt CONDEMN.

It is God that JUSTIFIETH. 34 Who is he that CONDEMNETH? It is Christ that DIED, yea rather, that is RISEN again, who is even at the RIGHT HAND of God, who also maketh INTERCESSION for us. 35 Who shall SEPARATE us from the LOVE of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us. 38 For I am PERSUADED, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to SEPARATE us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:31-39.

THE CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH

By Leave a Comment

THE CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH: IT’S NOT A RELIGION!

“Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: 26 and when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the DISCIPLES were CALLED CHRISTIANS FIRST in Antioch” Acts 11:25-26.

The CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is not a RELIGION; It’s only a RELIGION to you or to a person, when the HOLY SPIRIT is not your GOVERNOR and the LEADER of your being through God’s WORD, in life and godly living, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And this is the record, that God hath GIVEN to us ETERNAL LIFE, and this LIFE is in His Son. 12 He that HATH the Son hath LIFE; and he that HATH NOT the Son of God HATH NOT LIFE” 1 John 5:11-12.

“And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast SENT” John 17:3.

The CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is of the life and person of God in Christ Jesus. When you take CHRIST from the word CHRISTIAN you have “IAN”, meaning “I AM NOTHING”. So what makes the CHRISTIAN in his or her CHRISTIAN FAITH to be of tremendous value and worth, and of the graciousness and gracefulness to life and living, is the Christ Jesus within the person. In Christ Jesus, the CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is a person and not an idea or myth or object or any such like.

“And how I kept BACK NOTHING that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

So then, the CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is of REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward the person of our Lord Christ Jesus; And by this act of faith, we ENSURE our ASSURED REDEMPTION wherein one is unveiled to the ETERNAL LIFE that’s available to any – in the realm of eternity, the timeless timeline of God. [Acts 20:20-21; John 17:3; 1 John 5:11-12]. And in Christ Jesus, there’s no sectarianism and denominationalism of any kind – but the FAITH that’s working – in operative and energised, through the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. [Galatians 5:6; Galatians 3:26-29].

Therefore, if you do think that the CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is a religion as many and dictionary had classified it like other set religions in the world, you need to rethink again and redefine your known information about divinity in the living and alive person of God in Christ Jesus [1 John 5:7; Hebrews 7:23-25; Colossians 1:27; Philippians 1:20-21; Galatians 2:20-21].

Be blessed in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another COMFORTER, that he may abide WITH you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of TRUTH; whom the world CANNOT receive, because it SEETH him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:16-17.

“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)” John 7:37-39.

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and NOW is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father SEEKETH such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST worship him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.

THE GOSPEL TRUTH – ABOUT THE CHURCH

By Leave a Comment

THE GOSPEL TRUTH – ABOUT THE CHURCH: YOU ARE THE CHURCH – THAT GOD IS BUILDING IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life” Acts 5:20.

“Churches are not clubs for the perfect. They are clinics for the sick, the wounded, and the maimed, where those who are a bit stronger help those who are still weak. The forgiven forgive. The healed heal. The comforted comforted others. Those who have been picked up pick others up. God bless you” – Reinhard BONNKE, of Blessed Memory.

The Church gathering otherwise called “The Church”, is the collective home extension of the individual nucleus home respectively. It’s like a fuel filling and garage station for the fueling and refuelling, the repairs and repairing of the car, wherein you don’t run the car there but the car’s comes there to get energies and synergy’s before going to take a run on the road of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. And God is building His Church in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“. . . 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven . . .” Matthew 16:13-20.

For the Church is you – the individual, local and universal body of born-again Believers of God in Christ Jesus, filled by the Holy Spirit, living by the instructions of the unadulterated and authoritative WORD of God, and under a Pastoral Shepherd without prejudice. The Church is not a freelance person of freedom without a stand and guildrails, without order and decency, but under the guidance of spiritual leadership of the Holy Spirit. The Church is otherwise called the Body of Christ which you are a member in particular there to function and not as a structure.

“. . . 30 for we are MEMBERS of His BODY, of his flesh, and of his bones . . .” Ephesians 5:21-33.

“. . . 27 Now ye ARE the BODY of Christ, and MEMBERS in particular . . .” 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.

I pray you won’t be the loosed end Believer’s in Christ Jesus, who is without knowledge and understanding of who you ARE on spiritual settings for the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead; more so, so that you can share in the fullness of the available and given grace that Christ Jesus, the head of the Church, has set out and bestowed for your BLESSEDNESS in Him accordingly. For you ARE His Church that He’s building, and as such is loved, glorious, holy, without blemish, and a mystery. [Ephesians 5:21-33].

Blessed regards in Christ Jesus stead, as you take your place and stands in the grace in doing life and living godly. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Let ALL THINGS be done DECENTLY [APPROPRIATELY] and in ORDER” 1 Corinthians 14:40/Emphasis Mine.

“Brethren, if a man be OVERTAKEN in a FAULT, ye which are SPIRITUAL, RESTORE such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself . . . 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith” Galatians 6:1-10.

“For I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God REVEALED from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17.

“But if any man seem to be CONTENTIOUS, we have no such CUSTOM [PRACTICE], neither the CHURCHES of God” 1 Corinthians 11:16/Emphasis Mine.

“Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as THE CHURCH is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also LOVED THE CHURCH, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself a GLORIOUS CHURCH, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be HOLY and WITHOUT BLEMISH. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in PARTICULAR so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband” Ephesians 5:21-33.

“For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23 and those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: 25 that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular” 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.

OCCUPY TILL I COME

By Leave a Comment

OCCUPY TILL I COME: AND I WILL HEAL YOUR LAND!

“. . . 13 If I SHUT UP heaven that there be NO RAIN, or if I COMMAND the locusts to DEVOUR the land, or if I SEND pestilence among MY PEOPLE; 14 if MY PEOPLE, which are CALLED by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and TURN FROM their wicked ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land . . .” 2 Chronicles 7:12-15.

Our God, is the God of the heavens and the earth and beneath the earth; and He’s the God that rules and reigns in the domain of mankind; and He’s in the full business of ensuring and assuring wholeness for His people and to as many as are willing and determined in obedience without prejudice to turn toward Him – by FAITH in Christ Jesus and through His WORD by the Holy Spirit  who is at work to ENSURE and ASSURE that the whole default of God for the New Creation in Christ Jesus are in – wholeness, completeness, fulness, and perfectness irrespective. This is why to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” concept it’s eminent in our unstable world at all level’s today.

For God will only COMMEND what He COMMANDS, and will only EMPOWERS only on His given PURPOSE/CAUSE and will only ENSURE what He ASSURED to either an individual or a people toward a nation; and to bring about the healing and prosperity so much desired at any given generation or dispensation to ensure peace and tranquillity without prejudice. And the best positioning to ENSURE and ASSURE that God’s intent is at work it’s when His chosen people take the faith stand in grace concept to – “OCCUPY TILL I COME” – and make a literal obedience as He has instructed in Christ Jesus stead.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God THROUGH our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into THIS GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and REJOICE in hope of the GLORY of God” Romans 5:1-2.

For God’s commands, assignments, orders, instructions and such like, are not an advice but a default demand in love to enable Him have the leverage to act on our behalf – in all matters that pertains to life (doing life) and godliness (living godly), in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead, concerning us.

“For this is the LOVE of God, that we keep his COMMANDMENTS: and his COMMANDMENTS are not GRIEVOUS [IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER, OVERBEARING]” 1 John 5:3.

“GRACE and PEACE be MULTIPLIED unto you through the KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS that PERTAIN unto LIFE [DOING LIFE] and GODLINESS [LIVING GODLY], through the KNOWLEDGE of him that hath CALLED us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us exceeding GREAT and PRECIOUS promises: that by these ye might be Partakers of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the CORRUPTION that is in the WORLD through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

Think of Jonah for an example, who was given an instruction and assignment of a specific command to carry out in order to save and bring about the healing and health of the nation of Nineveh. He took God’s instructions and order for granted as if it’s an advice, and nearly paid for it with his own life. How opportune he was for a second chance, because not all can have such levels of mercies that he received from God to then obey the given instructions again – this is after he took to the sea hide outs that vomited him to the shore probably thinking he can outsmart God, or God is only of the heavens and the earth and not of the beneath the earth – as many are repeating today.

“Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 ARISE, GO to Nineveh, that great city, and CRY against it; for their WICKEDNESS is come up before me. 3 But Jonah ROSE UP TO FLEE unto Tarshish FROM THE PRESENCE of the Lord, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish FROM THE PRESENCE of the Lord” Jonah 1:1-3.

The scriptural context of 2 Chronicles 7:12-15, thus indicates God’s  good intent to heal the land/nation of His people; His instructions in the scriptural context, is in order to make His people a vehicle in the change to make whole and to prosper their land/nation accordingly; and God was plain to layout there the default clauses to follow which invariably lies in the hands of His chosen people, the Church of God to literally do – to act upon. For God’s people are chosen people, designed with the default to bring about the reality and tangibility that the world craves to have pending the second coming of Christ Jesus, the Saviour and Lord. 1 Peter 2:9-10; Deuteronomy 7:6. It’s by this willingness of the Chosen People to take their position to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” mandate and assignment, that will bring about the genuine peace and healing of our nation’s and our land for prosperity.

“But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should SHEW FORTH THE PRAISES of him who hath CALLED you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were NOT A PEOPLE, but are now THE PEOPLE of God: which had NOT OBTAINED mercy, but now HAVE OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:9-10.

“For thou art an HOLY PEOPLE unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath CHOSEN thee to be a SPECIAL PEOPLE unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth . . .” Deuteronomy 7:6-10.

For the Church is you – the individual, local and universal body of born again Believer’s that are Spirit-filled and are govern exclusively by the WORD of God, under the leadership of a Shepherd who is under God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

And each time God wants to make a major change and shift on earth, He works along with His people – who are the chosen generation, the peculiar people, the royal priesthood. And it’s up to His chosen people to let God’s instructions be for victory and triumph, or to keep playing around with God’s mandate as Jonah of Nineveh did, by taking God’s instructions for an advice to be obeyed or thrown into the trash. Such obscured decision to undermine God’s decision can only obstruct their own happiness and prosperity and the healing of the the land and nation that are there as their dwelling places. Psalms 33:12 tells how much God is relying on the people for their own healing.

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and THE PEOPLE whom he hath CHOSEN for his own INHERITANCE” Psalms 33:12.

God’s intervention to any nation wholeness lies upon the Church readiness and willingness as God’s chosen people to be obedient and to act along the scriptural context that addresses of the nation ills as it affects them accordingly. For salvation and healing will always first begin within God’s chosen people to avoid them suffering while others are enjoying the fulness of God.

So, how ready are you today, even now to take the challenge to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”, instead of thinking it’s someone else responsibility and accountability and not yours. It’s time to be  principled and intentional to take your place of stand with God SCRIPTURALLY and not giving excuses and making it someone else’s – for you are God’s OWN, God CHOSEN to show forth His PRAISES of goodness through you for the good of others until Christ Jesus returns while you have your time to do your part in the wholeness of individual, local and national ills

It’s my utmost PRAYERS for you to find your place and fulfil PURPOSE by the empowering and endorsement of God upon your life as His chosen one and not as the runner – Jonah of Nineveh. 

SCRIPTURAL TEXT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and THE PEOPLE whom he hath CHOSEN for his own INHERITANCE” Psalms 33:12.

“But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should SHEW FORTH THE PRAISES of him who hath CALLED you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were NOT A PEOPLE, but are now THE PEOPLE of God: which had NOT OBTAINED mercy, but now HAVE OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:9-10.

“For thou art an HOLY PEOPLE unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath CHOSEN thee to be a SPECIAL PEOPLE unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. 7 The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: 8 but because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; 10 and repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face” Deuteronomy 7:6-10.

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us, and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us KINGS and PRIESTS unto God and his Father; to him be GLORY and DOMINION for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: FOR THOU WAST SLAIN, AND HAST REDEEMED US TO GOD BY THY BLOOD OUT OF EVERY KINDRED, AND TONGUE, AND PEOPLE, AND NATION; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

“And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have CHOSEN this place to myself for an house of sacrifice. 13 If I SHUT UP heaven that there be NO RAIN, or if I COMMAND the locusts to DEVOUR the land, or if I SEND pestilence among MY PEOPLE; 14 if MY PEOPLE, which are CALLED by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and TURN FROM their wicked ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the PRAYER that is made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:12-15.

Selah 5 BLESSED is the man whose STRENGTH is in You, Whose HEART is set on PILGRIMAGE. 6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, They make it a spring; The rain also covers it with pools. 7 THEY GO FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH; EACH ONE APPEARS BEFORE GOD IN ZION. 8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob!
