Surrendered Souls

“But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people...Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, that the city shall be built for the LORD from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭31:33, 38‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ http://bible.com/114/jer.31.33,38.nkjv
Services anchored on contractual agreements are maintained by shared responsibilities. While the burden of imperfection draws the unfortunate experiences of frequent termination of contracts, relationships built on covenant relationships equally struggle from the same burden. Under the old covenant relationship between God and His people, God revealed His counsels and walked the people through the path of service and consecration. Unfortunately, the world and all its attractions and affection could readily draw human attention away at different interceptions. And with advanced exposure to the wisdom of the world, doing the will of God is becoming more complicated for those who pride themselves with the knowledge of the will of God. Absolute submission to Christ and His commandments is considered old-fashioned, and the pulpit can no longer resist feminism and embrace the preaching of submission in all covenant relationships. Whereas, under the new covenant, submission is possible with the replacement of the burden of responsibilities with the blessing of relationship. Once the heart is fully surrendered, the miracle from the Lord goes “I will put my law in your mind and write it in your heart”...and “the city shall be built for me..”. Instead of enforcing submission, surrendered souls merely watch with amazement the performance of the will of God by the grace of God. Parties in covenant relationship struggle with submission to services until individual soul is fully surrendered to Christ.

Righteous Resolution

  “ Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; And in his law doth he meditate day and night. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: But the way of the ungodly shall perish.” Psalm 1 : 1 - 2 , 6 KJV The problem with the concept of New Year resolutions is that the resolutions are results focussed, including new walkout goals, new diet habits, new relationship models for family, social, and workplace partners, etc. We know that these results resolutions are hard to keep and maintain with the best of human strategies. When Thomas Edition acclaimed ‘Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration ’, he probably believed in the divine order of the 1% inspiration in the 100% success principle. Remove the 1 ahead of the 100 and you’ll get zero, NOT 99! Little wonder the psalmist clearly adopted a righteous resolution strategy, instead of ...

Best Bride

  “ And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son .” Revelation 21 : 6 - 7 NKJV By reflecting on the best activities in the passing year 2025 and its lost privileges and opportunities, the most sincere response in the assessment of human efforts is likely to be baggage. Nothing is definitely assessed as “ It is done! “ on the basis of human limitations on relationships, participation, etc. Notwithstanding, the engagement of God in all of life’s affairs always leads to the production of a transformed life, a new beginning, and somehow like the best bride. Instead of getting wrecked by the disappointments arising from our engagement of human activities and opinions in the passing 2025, we can get rocked by the transformation of Jesus Christ into the best bride for the year 2026...

Honourable Honesty

  “ Let the saints be joyful in glory; Let them sing aloud on their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand, To execute vengeance on the nations, And punishments on the peoples; To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute on them the written judgment— This honor have all His saints. Praise the Lord! ” Psalms 149 : 5 - 9 NKJV In seasons of afflictions and persecution from a culture of dishonesty, “ Let the saints be joyful in glory; Let them sing aloud on their beds ” appears distasteful. While heaven and its promises wait, saints often walk around with their eyes dropped, shoulders lowered, and feet shackled…thinking what a joyful noise in gory? Unfortunately, dishonesty and diplomacy are the only wares that trend in the waiting seasons. Whereas, heaven always expects faith in God to inspire the righteous delight of saints who are called and commanded to be joyful in glory on their beds of af...
