“For Thou,
Lord, hast made me glad through Thy work:
Will Triumph in the works of Thy hands.
O Lord, how
great are Thy works!
And Thy
thoughts are very deep.” ~ Psalm 92:4-5
What is the Church as we
know it in Scripture? It is illustrated
in God’s Word as “The Body of Christ,” the “Temple of God,” and the “Bride of
Christ!” The word Church in the Greek is “Ecclesia” and means: Called out ones.
The Church has taken on many forms and purposes, but in all reality it is “the
people of the Lord called out from the world!” People – “Born Again,” believers
and confessors of Jesus Christ! The Church is not just people who say they are
“Born Again,” but people who follow a
life-style of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is not about the size of the
Church nor the denomination; it is about “identifying with the Lord
Jesus and following in His footsteps — fellowshipping the brethren along the
way and living an overcoming life!” Scripture reveals this Truth – “The gates
of hell” shall not prevail against His Church!” The leadership of hell may
torment, deceive, and harass the Church [people of God], but he will not
prevail! Christ is more powerful and more victorious and through Him we will
Triumph! Job, most ancient writer in Scripture – when he was reproached,
the Spirit gave him understanding – “That the triumphing of the wicked is
short!” What is needed by God’s people in this moment and time is: “O Clap your
hands, all ye people; shout unto God with a ‘Voice of Triumph!’ For the Lord
Most High is terrible [Reverently feared]!”
Perhaps this is a problem in our world today, the “lack of Reverent Fear? Through our Saviour we will Triumph! He
is the source of our strength, “a present help in the time of trouble!” To
Triumph in the Works of His hands is a most powerful statement. Consider the
Works of our Creator, and ponder the glorious Gift of Jesus as He has Redeemed
us, He is in the Believer who is serious about Him, He surrounds us day and
night and He will never leave us. Let us say “I Will Triumph” in Lord, My God,
My Saviour, and His Holy Ghost! Let us
give forth a Triumphant shout of Praise ...❤Pastor
Heavenly Father, how we Reverent Your many Gifts You have given
to us, we enter into your gates with great thanksgiving! We are especially
thankful that in You we can Triumph over the adversities of our day, for You
have said we can Overcome! Thank You Jesus that you suffered and shed Your
Blood for us and we will Triumph in the Work of Calvary, and in the hands of
Father God! Come Lord Jesus and surround us with Hope, Mercy, and forgiveness
as we Press onward to the goal that is set before us! O Holy Ghost nudge our
Loved Ones to be Born again in You! As we go our way today, may Your people
sense this moment in time where You are our comfort, our present Help, and a
God who never leaves us.
We ask
these things in the Name of the Father, His Son, and the Power of the Holy
Ghost, Amen
