  “A posterity shall serve Him. It will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation, They will come and declare His righteousness to a people who will be born, That He has done this.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭22:30-31‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ The highest point of service in history was witnessed at the Cross of Calvary. The Saviour was not only rejected by those who He came to save, He was equally forsaken by the Father for being the sinners’ substitute. And when the Saviour cried in agony ‘My Father, My Father; why have you forsaken Me’ , the Father would have quietly reminded the Son ‘You are presently on soul service’ . Even after over 2000 years, the redeemed of the Lord are  being elected as part of the posterity that will serve the Lord and proclaim the redemption story.

Christ was ignored on the Cross by the Father in order to decisively punish sin and save the unrighteous world for posterity, not prosperity. And our pious Father still deal with all His children today on the basis of...

If God's faithfulness and trust are objectively assessed, ‎the scorecards on the confidence of people in God are likely to vary disproportionately. Even among people of faith, the vote of confidence on the charisma of God is possible to produce some irregularities. However, as the experience and prophetic expressions of the Psalmist suggest, the Creator of life understands that no good and stable character is nurtured mostly with great and superlative charisma. The truth is that God's purpose for each of His creatures is often remote to all charisma - based assessment. Eventually, the Psalmist accepted the reliability of character - based assessment. Even in the wake of uncertain charisma, absolute confidence in God, based on His faithful and truthful character, offers a reliable assessmen...
