I enquired on what to write and all I felt was peace. Just peace for hours.
This was coming from a divine knowledge that the Church is in good hands. The Church is in the hands of those who understand and love Jesus enough to lay down their own lives for him.
People who will put His directives before their own interests.
[''Pray regularly'' 1 Thessalonians 5:17]
These are people who will exalt the instruction of the Lord above the schemes of man or this world
People who focus on his will to be done on earth as it is done in heaven.
People who can be corrected, moulded and remoulded by Him - totally sold out to His cause. People who are willing to see far, further than this world has to offer.
People who know Jesus as a friend, brother but also as their Master and Lord.
Yes, the Church is in good hands.
Shalom.
In these last days, our Lord Jesus will rule and lead his Church by himself. Using the scriptures by his Scribes, Prophets, Apostles and His devoted followers. My heart is at rest. The Church is in good hands.
Like the human body, two good hands – each strengthening and complementing the other.
“The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman
and the planter by the one treading grapes.
New wine will drip from the mountains
and flow from all the hills," Amos 9:13
You have your designation, and we are all called to do great things in this ‘Days’. However, along with this, we are all being cleansed i.e. pruned and prepared by the Gardener simultaneously. Then we are being reconfigured from our limited view as individual lions and fused to see ourselves as Christ - ONE invincible body with Jesus the messiah as Head Lion.
As I said at the start, the dross on each Christian and group is being scrubbed off by the insights unveiled in the word of God. His loving insights will make us cleaner and shine brighter. The goal is one beautiful, confident and united Church without spot or wrinkle or any such blemish. In these days the church is being transfigured and moulded into one. It might seem painful, might be hard and uncomfortable but remember it is a work of the Holy spirit.
Now is the time to ‘’put aside every impediment — that is, the sin which easily hampers our forward movement — and keep running with endurance in the contest set before us,’’ Hebrews 12:1 CJB
Now is the time to love the other deeply. To stand not just for your own group, organisation or my own group or organisation but we stand for ‘’WE THE CHURCH’’ i.e the entire body of Jesus followers.
Don’t be deceived to bring down your brother. If you do, you destroy yourself. Correct, but lift.
‘’… if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand’ - Jesus- Mark 3:24
Be at rest, things are falling into place. Christ is building us – His body. Amen
Shalom
'' I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice.
So there will be one flock, one shepherd.'' John 10:14 - 15
''In the last days
the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established
as the highest of the mountains;
it will be exalted above the hills,
and all nations will stream to it.
Many peoples will come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the temple of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us his ways,
so that we may walk in his paths.”
The law will go out from Zion,
the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.'' Isaiah 2:2-3. AMEN
''You are already clean (pruned) because of the word I have spoken to you.'' - Jesus (John 15:3 NIV)
''For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God. Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood'' Acts 20:27-28
