HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Command them to do good, to be rich
in good deeds, and to be generous and
willing to share. In this way they will lay
up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation
for the coming age, so that they may take hold
of the life that is truly life.
(I. Timothy 6.18 & 19).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation
of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After He had
provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the
Majesty in heaven.
So He became as much superior to the angels as the name He has inherited
is superior to theirs.
For to which of the angels did God ever say,
“You are My Son;
today I have become You Father”?
Or again,
I will be His Father,
and He will be My Son.”?
And again when God brings His firstborn into the world, He says,
“Let all God’s angels worship Him.”
In speaking of the angels, He says,
“He makes His angels winds,
His servants flames of fire,”
But about the Son He says,
“Your throne, O God, will last forever and ever,
and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, Your God has set You above Your
companions by anointing You with the oil of joy.
He also says,
“In the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
They will perish, but you remain; they will wear out like a garment.
You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed.
But You remain the same, and your years will never end.
To which of the angels did God ever say,
“Sit at My right hand
until I make Your enemies
a footstool for Your feet”?
Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will
inherit salvation?
(Hebrews 1.3-14).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord’, and do not do what I say?
Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on
them, I will show you whom he is like: he is like a man building
a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and
when a flood occured, the torrent burst against that house and
could not shake it, because it had been well built. But the one who
has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a
house on the ground without a foundation; and the torrent burst
against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house
was great.
(Luke 6.46-49).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
You are built upon
the foundation of
the apostles and
prophets with Christ
Jesus Himself the
chief Cornerstone.
In Him the whole
structure is joined
together
harmoniously and
continues to rise
into a holy temple
in the Lord.
(Ephesians 2.20 and 21).
POINTS FOR REFLECTION
AND PRAISE
1) We are now in Christ
Jesus our Lord part of
His holy body
the spiritual temple.
2) With Jesus Christ as
the chief Cornerstone
and based on the
foundation of the
prophets and apostles
the entire holy
structure rises and
continues to grow.
3) We also grow spiritually
with the entire spiritual
structure as we are
dedicated and consecrated
to the presence of God.
HALLELUJAH!
PRAISES TO JESUS
FOREVERMORE!
CALLED TO BE LOVED
Even as in His love He chose us
for Himself as His very own in Christ
before the foundation of the world,
that we should be holy, set apart for
Him and blameless in His sight,
above reproach, before Him in love.
( Ephesians 1.4)
Points for meditation:
1) God, Who is love, in His love chose you
to be His very own in Christ Jesus our Lord
and Savior.
2) He did this before He made the world.
3) He did this to make us holy in His sight.
4) This holiness comes from Him, Who set
us free from sin and death.
5) This is entirely due to His grace which is
unmerited favor culminating in peace,
reconciliation, harmony, unity, tranquility
granted through the Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus
our Lord and Savior.
AMEN!
Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has
blessed us with every spiritual
blessing in the heavenly places
in Christ,
Just as He chose us in Him before
the foundation of the world, that
we should be holy and without blame
before Him in love,
Having predestinated us to adoption
as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself,
according to the good pleasure of
His will,
To the praise of the glory of His
grace, by which He made us
accepted in the Beloved.
(Ephesians 1.3-6).
