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.

Faith is believing and not in sight

In the book of exodus, we come across the journey of the Israelites, thought out their journey from Egypt to the promised land of Cannon, they continuously questioned the power ,in spite of even seeing the power of the lord , they kept one questioning the God , asking Moses were is god in our midst.
We at times say the same, I too have said the same, and I hope my father in heaven will forgive me, in not having enough faith in those days of doubt and fear.

Faith in god does come from the clouds. The bible says that God has given everyone a small measure of faith; it is up to us to realize it. In moments of disbelief, agony we may wear out our strengths, it is natural thing and there is nothing to be ashamed of, but Faith comes to life, when we realize the power of god and how much god protects us and loves us; and mind you, you do not have to read the encyclopedia or know the language’s such as Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic, in which the holy scriptures were written In the beginning to have faith in god.

Faith is a strong and mighty word indeed; all we need to do is remember how the lord has kept us safe under this wing in the past. Remember those days of confusion, loneliness, trial and tribulation in the past and realize that Good, The Graceful Father in heaven our Lord, is the one who kept us safe thought think and thin, and has brought us this far in the journey of life. When you believe the power the undeniable love of god and the everlasting assurance that god is with us and has been with us, one can can’t imagine a day without god.

Hebrew 11 verse 1
‘To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see’

I have said this word over and over again many times even without realizing the essence in this word god in my life.


To have faith is to be sure of the thing we hope for -: our past experiences in Christ in the journey of our lives, helps us to be sure of the assurance of this grace and everlasting presence, and because we have realized this by assessing our life and knowing that our life itself is his Grace, we become sure of the hope of this greatness of god.

To be certain of the things we cannot see -: after the assign part is over and the realization becomes a surety. The surety becomes a foundation corner stone, and comes out in the form of belief in times of crises, as a strong certainty that we have a powerful lord amongst us. that becomes our FAITH.

Jesus in our life

the time worth spend with Jesus in well enjoyed, the time worth spend for Jesus is well gained, the time spend by Jesus is endless and is every lasting, who would want the sun to go away after knowing the everything is attained by the sun.
Jesus in ones life is like having a mother holding us in her lap and taking care of us. Jesus in our life is like a lover that never parts from us knowing that one is nothing with out the other, Jesus becomes the perfecto and the fulfillment of our lives for without our life would have no meaning.

Jesus in our life is like the fragrance of a flower, for without fragrance the flower would have lost its name.Jesus in our life is like walking over the clouds even though they may be storms underneath , Jesus in our lives is like the spring of water in the dessert.
Jesus in our lives is the light that showed the way to the Israelites over their heads, Jesus is the Lion of Judah that rules over the land.
Jesus in our life is like having an arm to hold, a voice to call, a father to know, an assured comfort to have. Jesus in our life, is having a resting place for our sole. Jesus he himself, is home; is heaven, Jesus in our lives in like devling in the havens for Jesus is heaven and by him he builds heaven within us.that no words can define him .At what ever age one is ,Jesus becomes the ultimate source of satisfaction .
when the Redeemer Jesus Christ comforts us, it always feels new and fresh as if it was the fist time you experienced it, no matter how often how constant one come to God Thought out the journey of ones life.

The lord god of Israel, the lord god is one , he is the same yesterday, today and forever more , Praise be the name lord ,who abides us like life in our body.

The Sea

What a huge and waste creation of god, even in its vastness it holds a real world within. With all sort of wonderful and amazing life forms , and even now that are many unraveling mysteries of the sea we have yet to know.
Many times in our agony , we question god of his capacity, and wonder, does the lord really have it in him to help us through tough times.
When Jesus, told St Peter to walk on the waters towards him , We all now that Peter slipped in the water when he noticed the sea and feared it. It natural for one to fall on owns feet in the tough of carrying the heavy load on our back.
But the truth is that the great load of weight is on our fathers shoulders and not in ours and he is carrying us on his back like a mother carrying his young in her bosom.
Next time when you fall and wonder does god really have it in him , look at the sea, by the sea shore , hasn’t the Lord carried the wonders of the world in his hand.
Every creation obeys him, nothing stands in his way , for he is the beginning and the end , he it foundation and the completion , everything was made by his

Remember this all ways
“The heaven is his thrown and the earth is his footstool , he has won the victory against the earth , devil and death. there is no greater love or power than his, He orders the sun to rise , not even a hair fall without his permission. Every knee shall bow every tough will confess, In his presence of the our Lord Jesus Christ.”


We enjoy the wonders of man and often forget the majesty and greatness of our lord.
The creation of man have at times made us wonder that man is a gennies.
If we boost on people ,the Dust of the earth of creations and inventions that will soon cease to exist, how little to we give Glory to the Lord how has crated us and made us unique; Besides which genius of man can carry the waters of a single sea in his hand,
Now this in fear at least that the Lord of Host is Supreme and he hold control of everything under heaven, earth and even hell, for it is said in the word of our father in the heaven , that
“He has the keys to gates of heaven and hell, “


we should be horned that he has chosen us, and that we serve a great God

The Grace of God

The grace of god is like life for the body. Like the sun for the plant , like a child for a mother, One who analogies god, is constantly reminded of god’s grace, because he understands that he is noting with out god in the form of grace. When one totally surrenders to the power of the mighty, there is no place for boasting about oneself, because there is no one any more,
Look at the sun that shins in the sky, we all know it is there, but can you imagine a morning without it. It is impossible; a time span with out the sun shining in the sky would be called as night and not morning,
Every living source of life depends on the sun. Animals, plant , people and even microorganism,
Just like that every one who accepts and comes in fellowship with god ,enters in to the family of god. There by the Sprit of god , becomes food and life for our sprits, for without it, we cannot stand in the presence of god. It is true that Jesus , is the path and the way and through him we see the father, but by the Sprit we are enriched and feed with his constant reminder that he is with us , like a eagles that keeps its young under its wing .

St Paul said that It is not me ,but the lord in me. that lives

'WE are Nothing without the Grace and love of God'
