“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Colossians 1: 16

For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

We, the bride, the church should give the Lord what we have received from the hands of God and grow.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that blessed be the Lord forever within us, the bride, the church.

Next what we are meditating upon is that in 1 Chronicles 29: 11 – 16 Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, The power and the glory, The victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours;

Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, And You are exalted as head over all.

Both riches and honor come from You, and You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; In Your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all.

“Now therefore, our God, we thank You and praise Your glorious name.

But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from You, and of Your own we have given You.

For we are aliens and pilgrims before You, as were all our fathers; Our days on earth are as a shadow, and without hope.

“O Lord our God, all this abundance that we have prepared to build You a house for Your holy name is from Your hand, and is all Your own.

In the above-mentioned verses, King David before the eyes of all in the assembly because they gave offering willingly to the Lord he glorified God by saying blessed are you, Lord God forever and ever. Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, The power and the glory, The victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, And You are exalted as head over all. Both riches and honor come from You, and You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; In Your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all. In this manner we see that David glorified the Lord and is praising the Lord. But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from You, and of Your own we have given You. For we are aliens and pilgrims before You, as were all our fathers; Our days on earth are as a shadow, and without hope. O Lord our God, all this abundance that we have prepared to build You a house for Your holy name is from Your hand, and is all Your own.

My dear people, when we meditate upon the above-mentioned verses, for Christ to arise within us as a church all the things are with God. To receive these we should not search our self-righteousness but if we will be as those who search the righteousness of God then the glory of God will manifest within us. Then God will make us manifest as the church of God. We are not worthy for this greatness. This is because all of us were aliens and pilgrims. But by the hand of God we are receiving it. We should give that and ourselves completely to the Lord. That is, what we are receiving from the Lord that we should give back to him says the word of God. This is because everything is being created by him and created for him. Therefore let us submit everything that belongs to us in the hands of the Lord. 

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
