This
moment in time, The LORD is going to help us understand that indeed: It is Only The
Favour of The LORD that we need.
First
of all it is very important to note that The LORD Jesus
Christ granted us salvation (for those who believe and accept the sacrifice
that He paid on the cross at Calvary) through His precious Blood that He shed
for the atonement of our sins. In so doing, The LORD removed us from
the deep parts of a dark hole; a hole that was characterized by a lifestyle of
sins, wickedness and evil. The sad part is
that maybe we didn’t even know that we were in this dark hole because
everything was camouflaged to appear “enjoyable”, not knowing that the devil
and evil spirits(our enemies) were actually “enjoying” us.
Whoever is still in this dark hole, or has just realized that indeed he/she is
in this very dark hole needs to move
very fast to partake of the salvation of The LORD Jesus Christ. Once we
realize that we have been in deception by the devil all these time and are
headed to a place of eternal destruction and damnation in hell, then we need to
surrender our lives to The LORD Jesus Christ before it is too late i.e. while
we are still alive. Once we receive Him into our life, then we need to
praise Him and uplift His Holy Name High through praise and worship and serve
Him as we walk in Righteousness, Holiness, Truth and Complete Surrender to The
LORD Jesus Christ. This is very beautifully summarized in the book of Psalm 30:1
which states as follows: “I will exalt you,
Lord, for you lifted me out of the
depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me.”
The
second point we need to note is that we were in a
spiritual bondage and so were essential spiritually sick. Spiritually sick
persons are those who have not embraced The Precious Blood of The LORD Jesus
Christ for their cleansing, purification, refining, washing and sanctification.
The spiritually sick persons are technically dead even though physically alive.
When we submit (submitted) our soul, spirit, mind, heart and body to The LORD
Jesus Christ then we
are (were) healed and made alive (the onset of eternal life) by His precious
Blood. The LORD Jesus Christ is our healer and by His stripes (wounds)
we are healed and are made alive. He heals us spiritually, physically, mentally
and even emotionally by washing away our sins and protecting us with His
precious Blood in our soul, spirit, mind, heart and body. He thus rescues
us from landing in hell because that’s where the spiritually sick are headed to;
unless they are rescued they eventually land there (in Hell). The ONLY rescuer
from this sickly path is The LORD Jesus Christ. This is very powerfully
captured in the book of Psalm 30:2-3
which states as follows: “Lord my God, I called to you for help,
and you healed me. You, Lord,
brought me up from the realm of the dead; you spared me from going down to the
pit.”
This
is also very powerfully captured in the book of Isaiah 53: 4-6
which states as follows: “Surely he took up
our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced
for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that
brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like
sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us
all.”
The
third point that we need to note is that for them who have embraced
Repentance for the forgiveness of their sins, and are now walking in Humility,
Righteousness, Holiness, Truth and Complete Surrender
to The LORD Jesus Christ: They are The
Faithful Sons, Daughters and Servants of The LORD. They are The People of God.
They are worshiping The LORD in Truth and in Spirit (The Holy Spirit). This is
very well summarized in the book of Psalm 30:4
which states as follows: “Sing the praises
of the Lord, you his faithful
people; praise his holy name.”
The
fourth point that we need to note is that the tough times,
the difficult times, the very challenging times that we may go through here on
the earth as a result of the darkness and evil nature of this earth leading to
“our weeping” are only for this dark earth represented by “the night”. When we
enter into Heaven to have eternal life through The LORD Jesus Christ then no
more weeping, because a new day shall have dawned, bringing with it a morning
of rejoicing and peace. Entry into Heaven is thus a new dawn (the
morning), as we shall have left the night (the dark, evil and sorrowful earth)
behind us. Eternal life actually starts the moment you submit yourselves to The
LORD Jesus Christ in Repentance for the forgiveness of your sins and turn away
from a lifestyle of sin. He then forgives
you your sins and his gracious anger towards you as a result of your former
stubbornness is removed and He then showers you with His favour and presence in
your life as He gives you eternal life. This is very powerfully
captured in the book of Psalm 30:5
which states as follows: “For his anger
lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the
night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.”
This
is also very beautifully captured in the book of Revelation21:3-4
which states as follows: ‘“And I heard a
loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the
people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his
people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He
will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning
or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”’
The
fifth point that we need to note is that we need to
recognize that we cannot make it by our own strength, might or power but only
by The Holy Spirit of The LORD. We thus need to remove pride from our
midst and embrace humility in every situation, circumstance and in our entire
life and walk with The LORD. We need to
recognize that our security only comes from and through The LORD Jesus Christ.
So that means that all
we need is the favour of The LORD upon us in our everyday activities, duties,
chores, ministry, mission and lifestyle. For the favour and the presence of The
LORD to be upon us, we must turn away from a lifestyle of sins. This is
because sin makes The LORD to take away His presence away from us i.e. The LORD
hides His face from us because He is a Holy God
who does not fellowship with sin. When He takes away His Favour
(Presence) away from us, then we become spiritually exposed and naked. This is
very powerfully captured in the book of Psalm 30:6-7
which states as follows: ‘“When I felt secure,
I said, “I will never be shaken.” Lord,
when you favored me, you made my royal mountain stand firm; but when you hid
your face, I was dismayed.”’
Moses,
The Man of God, The Prophet of The LORD, The Servant of The LORD did not
recognize this point very convincingly until The LORD had to explain to him in
details and in a deeper way; that indeed when
one has got the Favour of The LORD upon His life, then it means that The
Presence of The LORD will be upon him and will go with Him wherever He goes and
He will find rest for His soul, spirit, mind, heart and body. This very
deep conversation of The LORD with His servant Moses is very well captured in
the book of Exodus
33:12-17 which states as follows: ‘“Moses said to
the Lord, “You have been
telling me, ‘Lead these people,’ but you have not let me know whom you will
send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name and you have found favor with
me.’ If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and
continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.” The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with
you, and I will give you rest.” Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence
does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that you
are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will
distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the
earth?” And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very
thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”’
King
David, The Servant of The LORD, The Psalmist of The LORD recognized this very
important point, and that’s why he went
before The LORD when He sinned and repented of His sin and pleaded with The
LORD not to remove His favour upon Him and to maintain His Presence in his
life. This is very powerfully captured in the book of Psalm 51:10-12
which states as follows: ‘“Create in me a
pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from
your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of
your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.”’
So
every day before you sleep or even before you start the day, in your coming in
and in your coming out and indeed all the time ask The LORD God Almighty for
His Favour to be upon you. In other words, all you need in
your life is the favour of The LORD; so that it may be well with you.
All the other things and requirements will fall into place once you have the
favour of The LORD upon you. That’s why we see
King David recognizing that once He had the favour of The LORD then he was
secure and he was not going to be shaken and infact his everyday
duties, task and assignments as the King of a royal place was going to be
successful and his kingdom was going to stand firm, why ? Because of The
favour of The LORD upon him. This has got nothing to do with money,
achievement, army, strength, might, popularity, fame, connection, network etc, but it has got
everything to with The Favour of The LORD as the starting point. This
Favour of The LORD, also known as the Presence of The LORD is thus The anointing of
The Holy Spirit. The same is very powerfully and meticulously
summarized in the book of Zechariah 4:6
which states as follows: “So he said to me, “This is the word
of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by
might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord
Almighty.”
King
David also actually summarized it very powerful when he said: “Lord, when you favored me, you made my
royal mountain stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed.”
The
sixth point that we need to note is that we need to plead
for mercy via Repentance envisioned through the mercy seat. When The LORD Jesus
Christ shed His Precious Blood on The Cross, His Blood fell and hit the mercy
seat, so that those who submit themselves to The Blood of The LORD Jesus for
the atonement of their sins can now sit in the presence of The LORD through the
mercy seat whose only authorization is the Blood of The LORD Jesus Christ.
The LORD then sends us the comforter, the helper, the counselor, the guider,
the controller: The Mighty Holy Spirit. This is very powerfully captured in the
book of Psalm
30:8-10 which states as follows: ‘“To you, Lord, I called; to the Lord I cried for
mercy: “What is gained if I am silenced, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust
praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness? Hear, Lord, and be merciful to me; Lord,
be my help.”’
The
seventh point that we need to note is that once all is said
and done through the help of The Mighty Holy Spirit, then the river of eternal
life flows through the faithful people of God into Heaven for everlasting
peace, joy and praise and worship of The LORD in the presence of The LORD in
Heaven. This is very powerfully captured in the book of Psalm 30:11-12
which states as follows: ‘“You turned my
wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. Lord my God, I will praise you forever.”’
The
same is very well captured in the book of Revelation 22:1-5 which states as
follows: ‘“Then the angel
showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the
throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city.
On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of
fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the
healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of
God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. They
will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. There will be no
more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for
the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.”’

Dear brother Kevin, could you please pray for me as I feel I am becoming numb. I love the Lord, but I need my faith to come more alive. I found your website already over a year ago and then I thought that this "imminent" means in a couple of weeks and we are still here. I need something more to endure this long waiting. I don't want to become callous, I want the fire of the Holy Spirit inside of me. Please pray for me and my family too, they are not saved but very lukewarm.
ReplyDelete"imminent" could mean several weeks later,but if not(more likely in this case)this may refer to a time as far away as 2018.We are all waiting for the Lord to rapture us but we have to be patient because every single day passed indicates one day closer to that most glorious moment.Live the life you should and put your worries aside.
