The same Jesus, different revelation

Subject: He Hasn’t Forgotten You! – Friday February 18, 2011 – Pastor Anita


He Hasn’t Forgotten You!

Behold, I have indelibly imprinted (tattooed a picture of) you on the palm of each of my hands… (Isaiah 49:16 AMP).

There’re some Christians who upon hearing other people’s testimonies of God’s faithfulness wonder if God has forgotten them, and ask “O God, what about me?” The Lord has not and will never forget you, for He says, “See, I have tattooed your name upon my palm…” (Isaiah 49:16 TLB). So, don’t give up, help is on the way!

God isn’t partial; He’s not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which you have showed toward His Name (Hebrews 6:10). He’s a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6), Therefore all you need do is trust Him; keep acting your faith and remain faithful and diligent in your service to Him.

He may not respond when you want Him to but He’s always on time; He’s never late. He can and will make happen for you what He’s made happen for others, for He’s no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). What He did for one He’ll do for another under the same circumstances. And even if He’s never done what you’re asking for anyone, He can do it for you, just because you asked Him.

So, quit thinking that the Lord has forgotten you. In Isaiah 49:15 He assures you that though a woman may forget her suckling child, and not show compassion toward her own son, He will never forget you: “Can a woman forget her suckling child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.”

When you hear others share their testimonies of the Lord’s goodness to them, greatly rejoice with them and for them with all your heart! The Bible says rejoice with those that rejoice (Romans 12:15), for as you do, you’re making room for your own testimony.

Prayer
Dear Father, I rejoice at the comfort and assurance that your Word has brought to me today. I thank you for watching over me today to do me good, and for showing me your great love, faithfulness and mercies, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Isaiah 49:15-17
Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.

Hebrews 13:5
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Ouch! that hurts!

it wouldn't and shouldn't hurt coming from someone like him who never ever was interested in the rhapsody of realities

jpworld:
Religion doesn't work anymore. Is just a fake stuff, thou dey control millions of mind, Just like Chinese fake goods control the market, only few people buy the original stuff.

I totally agree with the emboldened sentence but the truth is Christianity is not a religion, its a way of life
It's living a Christ like life
when you come to full grasp of this, you will begin to see things clearer and understand things better

tpiah!:
quite a lot of born again Christians need to be reborn again.
if your own standards worse pass non-christian's own, makes it harder, don't you think.

There is nothing like being reborn,but there is provision for forgiveness and repentance

they can preach to you and every other adult but not to children?!?

@manmustwac,
in essence the reason we are here is to eat and make babies?!?

Jesus Christ presented His blood to God in Heaven, in the most Holy Place in Heaven, at the Mercy Seat in Heaven, so why do people still sprinkle and cover it today
You have no access to it. Only the High Priest could sprinkle the blood, only the High Priest. You’ve got to understand that. And before the office of that High Priest was established, Moses was the one who sprinkled everything with the blood of calves back in the Old Testament. This is very important. Who has the right to sprinkle the blood? It’s not the Christians sprinkling the blood on himself or on anyone else. It’s just the talk; they have no access to the blood. The Bible calls it the blood of sprinkling.

“For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. [Praise God!] For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:” [Hebrews 9:19-24]

That’s wonderful. It says Moses functioned in the type and Moses sprinkled all things with blood; it was Moses who did that. He didn’t say all the Hebrews sprinkled themselves with blood. They were God’s covenant people, but they weren’t going around sprinkling themselves with blood

You’re Far Above Principalities – Thursday February 17, 2011 – Pastor Chris

And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it (Colossians 2:15).

Paul’s letter to the Church at Ephesus in the sixth chapter of the book of Ephesians lets us in on the possibility of a structure of the devil and his demons. So he talks about the different orders and principalities: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12). So there are principalities, powers, and rulers of the darkness of this world.

Also, Paul refers to the highest cadre as wicked spirits in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12 AMP). These set up their thrones and operate in the heavenly places; they control large dominions, rule over nations and regions. They also control the affairs of men who yield themselves to the devil. But as you study Ephesians 2:6, you observe that you’ve been raised together with, and made to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. You’re seated with Christ, far above all principality and power and every organization of the adversary. That means you’re superior to even the highest ranking demons!

Realize that you occupy the place of authority in Christ, far above satan and everything that’s connected to him. Satan is a defeated foe, who’s been stripped of all power, influence and dominion. So, it doesn’t matter if he assigns himself or his demons to monitor your activities and try to ruin things for you, they’ve been programmed to fail! In Christ, you defeated satan and all his demons and overcame all the manipulative and evil structures of the world set up by him. Colossians 2:15 (MSG) describes the current dismal and completely powerless state of satan and his cohorts after what Jesus did to them: “He stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority at the Cross and marched them naked through the streets.”

So for you as a child of God, the devil and his demons don’t count, so never be afraid of them. Not only has Jesus given you power and authority to cast out devils (Mark 16:17), He also made you superior to satan and his demons. So you shouldn’t have a care in the world about satan and his evil structure and activities in the earth, for you’re seated with Christ in the place of power, “far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come” (Ephesians 1:21).

Confession
I am seated together with Christ in the heavenly realms, far above principalities and powers, where I reign and rule as a king in this life. I live in dominion over sin, sickness and infirmities, and I’ve overcome the world!

I joined Yookos but the service still needs tweaking up, some pages/features don't work so i naturally gave up on it.

Don't give up on YOOKOS , it's still being developed by every contribution, if you have an observation or complain pls let it be known. Facebook wasn't built In A day .

Is it right to pray with it? For example, covering your house, children and so on with the blood of Jesus.

Welcome o, wither wentest thou?

garyarnold:
The Levites were SERVANTS TO THE PRIESTS. They were the ushers, musicians, singers, etc. and they worked at the Temple about two weeks PER YEAR, not full time.
Since God said to take His tithe to the Levites, and there are no Levites today, you can't tithe today.

So who are the present day workers in the church, the full time church staff
Are they not the levites?

KunleOshob:
I am not suprised that fyneguy is into 419 as that thread now makes it obvious that he is. It's a typical vocation of CEC plc adherents always looking for lazy dubious short cuts to make money. The only thing i would like to point out is that judging from the so called letters published in that thread he is a very daft a shallow amateur just like his Oga oyaks. One would have to be as daft as the average CEC member customer to believe such bucum. 239 billion dollar ko 239 billion kobo ni, awon ode buruku, ole, barawo, onijibiti lasan lasan.

Thats the problem with you and your committee, when you have an issue or a disagreement with probably a member of the church you end up generalizing it and as far as you are concerned, his/her pastor is involved

If you do a transaction with somebody running his masters in an institution or somebody doing his ICAN and you are disappointed, would you say its the institution or ICAN that sent the person or will you deal with the person one on one

Please grow up jare

garyarnold:
The ONLY people in the Old Testament that were commanded to tithe were those who INHERITED THE PROMISED LAND WITH EVERYTHING ON IT. They got the land, house, animals, crops, etc. ALL FREE AND CLEAR. No mortgage payment or rent to pay. And THEY were commanded to tithe on the crops and animals and take it to the Levites who INHERITED the tithe INSTEAD OF the promised land with everything on it.  No one else tithed.  Wage earners did not tithe.  Jesus didn’t tithe.  Paul didn’t tithe.  Peter didn’t tithe.

HOW CAN YOU COMPARE THAT WITH CHRISTIANS WHO HAVE TO PAY THEIR MORTGAGE PAYMENT OR RENT, INCOME TAXES, PROPERTY TAXES, SALES TAXES, ETC?

I find it quite offensive that pastors have appointed themselves to be the receiver of what belongs to God.  After all, the pastor says the tithe belongs to God.  Then he self-appoints himself to receive the tithe!!!

God never gave any pastor or church permission to receive his tithe or his gifts.  God commanded His tithe be taken to the Levites, FOREVER, in Numbers 18.

Since the tithe belongs to God, if your pastor accepts it isn't he stealing it from God?

Firstly, who are the levites
Secondly who should we then give our tithes to if not our pastors?
Thirdly, if i trade in diesel or crude, what should be my tithe
if i'm the owner of a transport company,l what do i tithe, is it the bus, the fuel or the passengers

Azibalua:
Ah baba
Pls oh,I am not ordained to collect tithe oh, it does not belong to me or do you collect for god it is only on the altar where the fire of god burns that tithes are dropped and only certain people ordained by god are fit to touch it.

I pay mine consistently

@Kunleoshob,
when tithing matters and pastors come into your mind, all you need to do is take a closer look into the mirror
And you'll see the answers you seek

@Grey bread and jeffahead,
You just exposed yourselves and to think you were genuine about the Rhapsody of Realities
Free rhapsody is on facebook as well as nairaland so whats the issue
Yes money is paid for the e-copies, soft copies and hard copies but good money is also spent to produce and distribute ( we are not complaining)
like i just told you since you both like osho-free on face book and nairaland
Go there and clear your doubts

Like you said, these are your reservations

stop mixing things up

LoveKing:
