Paul, an apostle – sent not from men nor by men,
but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, Who raised
Him from the dead- and all the brothers with me,
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and
the Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave Himself for our
sins to rescue us from the present evil age,
according to the will of our God and Father, to
Whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
(Galatians 1.1-5).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
And now I will show you the most excellent way.
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but
have not love, I am a resounding gong or a clanging
cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom
all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith
that can move mountains, but have not love, I am
nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender
my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not
boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love
does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always
protects, always trusts, always trusts, always hopes, always
perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will
cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where
there is knowledge it will pass away. For we know in part
and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the
imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child,
I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a
man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection
as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then
I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of
these is love.
(I. Corinthians 12.31b-13.1-13).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Now faith is the assurance of the things we hope for, being the proof
of the things we do not see and the conviction of their reality.
For by faith, the men of old had divine testimony borne to them and
obtained a good report.
(Hebrews 11.1 & 2).
AMEN! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
“Because if you shall confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord,
and shall believe in your heart that God raised Him from the
dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man believes unto
righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation. For the scripture says, Whosoever believes on Him
shall not be put to shame.”
Jesus, the Lord, the Way, the Truth and the Life, the Resurrection.
This is the confession. This is the condition for salvation. This is
the requirement for all men everywhere, for every age.We thus
submit to the righteousness of God, to the goodness of God.
THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
HALLELUJAH!
O GIVE THANKS
O Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His
mercy and loving-kindness endure forever!
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has
delivered from the hand of the adversary,
And gathered them out of the lands, from the east
and from the west, from the north and from the sea
in the south.
Some wondered in the wilderness in a solitary desert
track, they found no city for habitation.
Hungry and thirsty, they fainted, their lives were near
to being extinguished.
then they cried to the Lord in their trouble and He
delivered them out of their distresses.
He led them forth by the straight and right way, that
they might go to a city where they could establish their
homes.
Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and
loving-kindness and His wonderful works to the children
of men!
For He satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry soul with good.
Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in
affliction and in irons.
Because they had rebelled against the words of God and spurned
the counsel of the Most High.
Therefore He bowed down their hearts with hard labor, they
stumbled and fell down and there was no one to help.
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble and He saved them
out of their distresses.
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death and
broke apart the bonds that held them.
Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and loving-
kindness and His wonderful works to the children of men!
For He has broken the gates of brass and cut the bars of iron.
Some are fools because of the way of their transgressions and
are afflicted because of their iniquities.
They loath every kind of food and they draw near to the gates of death.
Then they cry to the Lord in their trouble and He delivers them out
of their distresses.
He sends forth His Word and rescues them from the pit and destruction.
Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and loving-kindness
and His wonderful works to the children of men!
And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving and rehearse His
deeds with shouts of joy and singing!
Some go down to the sea and travel over it in ships to do business
in great waters.
These see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep.
For he commands and raises up the stormy wind,which lifts
up the waves of the sea.
Those aboard mount up to the heavens, they go down again
to the deeps, their courage melts away because of their plight.
They reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man and are
at their wits’ end, all their wisdom has come to nothing.
Then they cry to the Lord in their trouble and He brings them
out of their distresses.
He hushes the storm to a calm and to a gentle whisper, so that
the waves of the sea are still.
Then the men are glad because of the calm, and He brings them
to their desired haven.
Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and loving-
kindness and wonderful works to the children of men!
Let them exalt Him also in the congregation of the people and
praise Him in the company of the elders.
He turns rivers into a wilderness, water springs into a thirsty ground.
A fruitful land into a barren, salt waste, because of the wickedness of
those who dwell in it.
He turns a wilderness into a pool of water and a dry ground into water
springs.
And there He makes the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city
for habitation,
And sow fields and plant vineyads which yield fruits of increase.
He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly, and
allows not their cattle to decrease.
When they are diminished and bowed down through oppression,
trouble and sorrow,
He pours contempt upon princes and causes them to wonder in
waste places where there is no road.
Yet He raises the poor and needy from affliction and makes their
families like a flock.
The upright shall see it and be glad, but all iniquity shall shut its mouth.
Whoso is wise will observe and heed these things and they will diligently
consider the mercy and loving-kindness of the Lord.
(Psalm107).
PRAISE THE LORD! THANK YOULORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
RISEN WITH CHRIST
If in this life only we have hope
in Christ, we are of all men the
most pitiable.
But now Christ is risen from the dead,
and has become the first fruits of all
who have fallen asleep.
For since by man came death,
by Man also came the resurrection
of the dead.
For as in Adam all die, even so
in Christ shall all be made alive.
(I. Corinthians 15.19-22).
POINT OF PRAISE
WE ARE RISEN WITH CHRIST!
HALLELUJAH!
