‘’For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.’’ Isaiah 55:10-11 KJV
God's word never lied. What He has spoken will come to pass.
Our Master Jesus said to his disciples:
''My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.''John 14:1-3
The Lord has not given up on this plan. His word remains true.
There really is a place prepared for everyone who believes and accepts the good news of the Kingdom and Jesus truly will come back and take us to be with him!
We will be where he is. Hallelujah!
In the Old Testament, with the Children of Israel going on into the promised Land, he said, “See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.’’ (Exodus 3:20)
God the father of our Lord Jesus, guided his children through steps to get them to (and ready for) the place he is taking them to.
There is an eternal perspective. There is a way, a lifestyle, a way of thinking, a focus, a mindset and disposition in the place Jesus our Lord has gone. So, while he is preparing a place for us up there, down here on this present earth, he is preparing us for that place and guarding, guiding ahead of us by his Holy Spirit. He is building up his Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. We either believe and preach Christ's ability to do what he promised to do or we preach and focus on the circumstances that contradict that in the name of what we call ''authenticity''.
Jesus said, ‘’ You know the way to the place where I am going.”, and , ‘’ “I am the way and the truth and the life.’’ John 14:4,6.
We KNOW the way! The way is JESUS. An intimacy with him gives us things the human thinking cannot comprehend. As hard as it might be to believe, we CAN have his progress, peace, progress, joy and unity irrespective of adverse circumstances and differences. Jesus had many sad, perplexing and difficult encounters but he never focused on them, rather, he accomplished his mission. He did not stop to fix the problems, instead, he kept moving in God's plans despite all that tried to stop him. He can do it again. His church will be built up and made triumphant in unity.
Now is the preparation. The Lord is committed to this generation. The doors are open for the gospel, doors to influence the nations, now is not the time to relent. The resources of one are for the benefit of the whole. Let us celebrate the abilities of others. Instead of jealousy, collaborate - honouring the other as equal in Christ.
Now is the time to train, learn and relearn his way. Let us keep JESUS in focus. Really know him yourself.
His voice to me and you is this:
‘’The work is just started. Look beyond the present. See with the eyes of the spirit and prioritize my agenda.’’
We are just started. If we don’t give up, we learn from our mistakes. Strengthen any feeble knees, let us daily pick up our crosses and keep running in his vision and mission, we will see his Kingdom come.
My spirit still sees his vision;
The rivers of living waters are flowing from every child of God! The church is coming together as one. It might look chaotic, but it is happening. Denominations and peoples who would never have come together are coming together. Please stay open to God. Ideas and resources needed are gradually being pooled together for the greater good of the Gospel and the Kingdom impact on this world. God’s children are being awoken to who they truly are in Christ. Many are being reconciled back to their saviour. Jesus is being exalted!
I see one family, one team, one race: the beautiful family of Yahweh: Brothers and Sisters united in Christ Jesus governed by his word.
What do you see? See from Jesus' ability!
''So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.'' Zechariah 4: NIV
