THERE IS JOY IN MOURNING

April 22, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:


THERE IS JOY IN MOURNING

Good Wednesday morning to all! I was deeply impressed early this morning to share this message, in a time when numberless people are, and yet will be mourning because of the unfair way they have and will be losing loved ones and friends directly or indirectly caused by this lethal coronavirus pandemic.

In His sermon on the mount, Jesus pronounced this second blessing upon the multitudes, which included His disciples-in-training: “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.” Matt. 5:4,KJV (See also Isa.61:1-3). Lest we miss the deeper, more meaningful and longer-lasting import of this message after the mourning for death dissipates in time, let’s hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches in the following:

THE SOLEMN DUTY TO ENCOURAGE & EXHORT THE “TROOPS”

April 21, 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE SOLEMN DUTY TO ENCOURAGE & EXHORT THE “TROOPS”

What are the effects of fearful and discouraging words during times of duress, calamity and adversity, according to It is Written?

When  the 12 men representing the 12 tribes Moses sent to spy out Canaan returned from their clandestine mission, 10 of them rendered “an evil report” that was discouraging and disheartening. You call that Bad News. “There are giants there, the sons of Anak and we are just like tiny grasshoppers.”

THE SECRET OF UNANSWERED PRAYER

April 20, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE SECRET OF UNANSWERED PRAYER

“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matt. 26:41, KJV.

Yes, you read it right. As there is a secret and a divine science to answered prayer, there is also a secret for the exact opposite!

But who in the world of praying Christians would ever want to know this “secret” at all? It is so counterintuitive you may say.  But of course.

NO VICTORY WITHOUT SUBMISSION & CO-OPERATION WITH CHRIST

April 19, 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR ‘S DESK:

NO VICTORY WITHOUT SUBMISSION & CO-OPERATION WITH CHRIST

Good morning on the 31st day since our state’s governor declared a lock-down as a major mitigation strategy against the covid-19 enemy.

It’s for you to assess as to where tide is turning. Everyone has his own take and only time will tell if their hunches and determinations were sound or unsound.

Remember the first day of the Creator’s week, is today which the world, not the Bible calls Sunday, for that was what it really was, the day dedicated to the sun, an inanimate body to “rule the day.”

LET THE SILENT WRITTEN WORD SPEAK WITH A ‘STILL SMALL VOiCE’

April 17, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

LET THE SILENT WRITTEN WORD SPEAK WITH A ‘STILL SMALL VOiCE’

“To the law and testimony. If they speak not according to this Word, it is because there is no light in them.” Isa. 8:20, KJV.

If you haven’t noticed yet or maybe wondered why, I haven’t literally spoken since after our last worship service.

Instead,  I was moved to emphasize that all must now learn to hear the physically inaudible voice of the invisible God speaking “in a still small voice” to you through the visible words of the Word in the pages of IT IS WRITTEN.

CALAMITY AND CRISIS REVEAL CHARACTER

CALAMITY AND CRISIS REVEAL CHARACTER

     “The time of trouble is the crucible that is to bring out Christ-like characters. It is designed to lead the people of God to renounce Satan and his temptations.” –  E.G. White, Review and Herald, Aug. 12, 1884.

Central to our topic in this edition, at this global moment of the Covid-19 Crisis, is the parable of the ten virgins, which is a parabolic-prophecy having a double-application rather than full-bore type-antitype when the historical midnight cry and the soon-coming latter rain-powered final loud cry of the fourth angel of Revelation 18 are compared, the former preceding the latter.

OUR SALVATION & JUDGMENT IS MUCH NEARER THAN WE FIRST BECAME BELIEVERS

April 16, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

OUR SALVATION & JUDGMENT IS MUCH NEARER THAN WE FIRST BECAME BELIEVERS. 

“And that knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than we [first] believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put in the armor of light. Let us walk [live] honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering [feasting/partying] and wanton was, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh to fulfill the lusts thereof.” Rom. 13:11-14,KJV.

“We are living in the most solemn period of this earth’s history. The destiny of earth’s teeming multitudes is about to be decided. Our own future well-being and also the salvation of other souls depends upon the course which we NOW pursue. We need to be guided by the Spirit of God [not by our feelings nor what the majority says]. Every follower of Christ should earnestly inquire, ‘Lord, What wilt Thou have me to do?’
