Lord appoints, preordains his children he loves

Lord appoints, preordains his children , Look at the prophet Samuel, he was the answer to his mothers prayer , she offered her son ,Samuel ;even though he was her only child she and had him at old age, she kept her promise , and offered him Samuel her son to god , before he was even born, We the children of god , the most valuable creation of his majesty, are considered so precious , that he gave his only Son for our salvation. God blessed Abraham and kept his promise of making Abraham the father of nations, God said that his generation would like the sands in the seashore, and stars in the sky. They were indeed; they were called the Israelites, the most precious nation of the lord. they so precious to god that, god guarded them under his wing, in the desert, in the time of Moses , Even when they ran away , disobeyed God always loved them and was extremely patient with them , they were so precious to god that the Christ the son God , our savior was born among them.

We are not on earth, without a reason, even though at times we may wonder, and ask What are we?, who we are?, My life would be better if I hand the life of him, A someone you would consider safe and secure in his world, a person who you consider to have everything without any effort, where it take your entire effort to please, to be accepted by the people you love. And end up irritated, frustrated and even disappointed.
Think for a moment, how much more God could feel disappointed of us his children, if his children did not Horner him or even acknowledge him. But he never stops knocking, loving and clinging to us,

In the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son. We come to know of an earnest heart, of a Shepard. an awaiting and rewarding father, and a constantly searching old woman , In all this Jesus is trying to tell us the feeling for his children and his love for them.
The word of the lord says that, it was God that choice us, and not the other way round, he has know us prior to our birth, prior to the days of the earth, and has brought us to this world that we may first acknowledge him, turn to him, surrender in him, for Grater is the one that is in us who has made us and dwells in us. And by him are united to the family of god.

He is has risen that we may live

Jesus has risen, and through him his children are alive in him

A believer is made thought Christ, by the resurrection of Christ by and through Christ. We were once slaves of the flesh and lived in the flesh, that lead to our death of our sprit. But by god, who so loved the world gave his only son, Christ Jesus. Even when we were in the flesh we came to know the Christ, and by his death our flesh is dead that we may; in faith and absolute surrendering to his grace may rise and live in spirit, when we are raised to life with Christ we were made righteous by him to be glorified with him. For the ones that live in flesh and remain in flesh is not from God. It is god that chooses us, and not the other way round.
The journey from righteous to glorification is a tedious journey, Christ suffered that he may be glorified , as the redemption from sin, We who were dead and brought to life thought Christ by his resurrection are to follow his steps.

We are made priest and joint hairs with Christ, by the sacrament of the blood of the lamp Jesus Christ. That we may live in total obedience to him. for we live in the sprit and not of the flesh. That our garment may be pure and holy in the eyes of the lord. From were the sprit, there is no flesh, where there is light there is no darkness, where there is angles there are no demons. Christ Jesus has conquered the earth, if he was of the earth the earth would obey him and the need to conquer it would not be required.

The Anchor (Hope in god) Holds

Hope in God is the more purified form of entrusting trust in God. A strong relationship is a result of a growth process. These are its stages.
First you know him then
You understand him then
You see the woks of god in other lives and then in yours with boldly helps you to go to him for the god is good. Then
You entrust trust in him as a result of the above 3
When trust is in force you come to have belief
And finally you belief becomes you faith and you faith becomes you testimony to god and for god.
*****************************************
hope is symbolicaly explained as:Hope is not the rabbit that come from the magician’s hat; but hope is the strong expatiation that a rabbit can come from a magician’s hat

Let us read the lyrics of this song, I am sure you will understand what am I trying to make you the reader understand:

Words and music by Lawrence Chewning and Ray Boltz

CHORUS:
The anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm
*******************************************
The anchor of a ship makes sure that the ship does not move with the storms , but if the rope is not tied to the deck it would be next to nothing, we should establish our relationship with god , the word of the Lord says that: Taste and see that the Lord is good. If you have you, you will know without a doubt in you mind that the Lord god is good.
When you know that god is good, by you experience: I would call this experience it the peace in god and joy with god, Joy in the lord is not happiness , joy in the lord is the undesirable joy that we experience what ever our circumstances may me. Joy is lord is like having you mother’s arms around you assuring you that there is noting to fear mummy is hear,
God is telling you to day that he is with you and that when he is with you nothing came happen to you.

Let us look at the lyres of the Chorus, we come to know that the person in spite of the storm experienced a sertion assurance of joy by the hope he had in the lord,

Hope gives patience; purifies and gives steadfast assurance

Abraham was a man of great patience in the hope of god’s promise that he would be blessed as the father of nations, I surreally am not so strong in that now. Abraham had faith to believe in the pomices of god when there was no point to have hope

In the Old Testament the Israelites saw the wonder of the lord in Egypt, and for 40 years in the desert, god gave them food, water, and everything and even more they even asked for where the realties were not very hopeful

Hope is what I would say the refined form of trust, Refined : now we will analyses the concept of purification, Gold is a valuable source of income , and value but did you know the that, the purity of god is attained by refining it in the heat of the fire,


Hope steadfast assurance in faith
The walk with lord is not a one day trip to the moon,
It is life long journey, the bible says that one we children of god now we are made brothers with Christ and to be solders for god,
A solder is not born, but made, an old man in the 60 does not just come from his mother’s womb but, rather grows to be a 60 year old.

We are made by the lord , that the lord might reflect in us, and that something in us grow, how can something which is not in us grow within us,

The seed needs to be planted, for it grow to a tree, for the roots to take hold of the ground in which it was made,
The anchor takes home on ground it laid,
Let us lay our anchors of faith in Christ Jesus

The Word Lives Among us , By being Within Us.

The day of fulfillment has started .We live in a time of awaiting completion and proclamation. The day of What? Proclamation you may ask. The proclamation of our faith. It is written that the lord of host will destroy all that is evil, he will destroy the beast and all its servants, with one word that comes from his mouth.

‘The word of God’, In the beginning it was this word that made what we now call the earth , carving the foundation of the earth, It was this word that Noah obeyed to built the ark, it was his word that Abraham heard and obeyed and went to the promise land , it was up on this word that Moses brought the Israelites in the land of Cannon , it was by his word that Profits lead the people , It was this word that brought Jesus to us and it by his word of salvation that we are saved.

The word of the lord says that: God will write the law’s in the wall of his believer’s harts, when I write this line , I am reminded of the wall of the Israelites houses where they had applied the lamps blood and one seeing this blood satins the Angel of death, passed their homes thus they were saved.


There is great power when one says :’ We are saved by the stripes of Jesus,
It is as if he has marked us as his , for him to dwell in us, and as long we have him in us, and we are washed by his blood and he had left the mark of salvation on us, the Devil on seeing this will want noting to do with us. For the evil will not stand in the council of the righteous and we, Even though being the dust of the earth are made righteous by and through Christ, the Redeemer.

Because once we surrender before god there is no place for; I, for St Paul said :It is not me but the lord that is in me , that Lives.

It the book of St John, it is said that:


Before the world was created, the word already exited; he was with God, and he was the same as God. From the very beginning the Word was with God. Through him god made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without him.

Christ is the Living word in flesh, his life itself was the fulfillment of the word, He was the word , thought him we are saved, and by his name Jesus .(The Word), when uttered in faith , heaven comes to live, salvation is resorted. Spiritual unity is felt.

For it is said with grate emphasize:
That all knees shall bow , all tough shall confess before the Jesus , the lion of Judah, the prince of peace , the head of the ark angel’s, The worthy and honorable Lord.
