Hello unto all on this third day of the week, which falls in the 3rd month of the 2017th year on the 28th day, which makes it an early Tuesday morning, the time being 1:44 am. As I was sitting here with Monday night service on my mind, I saw many things which took place in that service. First of all in the scripture reading, God really spoke unto us and I feel like some people did not receive the magnitude of what some people were saying; so, as we moved into praise and worship, the atmosphere began to thicken, as in getting heavy with pressure from the days of the people, or their dedication unto the Lord that night was not at its best. What I meant by that last statement, people get weary and begin to faint, when it comes down to waiting upon the LORD. What the congregation doesn’t realize is this; the Bible teaches from the 36th verse of the 10th chapter of the book of Hebrews: for you have need of patience ‘which is continuance or a standing firm in the faith’ that after you yourselves have done the desires and pleasures of God, you might receive the promise. That’s if you cast not away therefore your assurance, which hath great return of reward. That’s if you yourselves be not sluggish, but imitators of them who through persuasion and patience ‘which is with long enduring’ they inherit the promises. Wherefore seeing we of today also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses who endured through patience ‘which is endurance, hope and waiting’ let us lay aside every burden and the offence which do so defeat us, and let us walk hastily with patience ‘which is better known as endurance’ the fight and conflict which is present to our minds and in our few, which is before us. So when the afflictions shows up, and you are able to bet upon it, that they will show up; we understanding this, that the approval of your confidence work out endurance. That’s if you quit not, but allow endurance and hopefulness to have her complete accomplishments that you may become of full age in mental and moral character, even lacking nothing. So we of the leadership team encourage everyone, even those of our congregation to be tempered therefore, brethren, unto the coming of kurios ‘our supreme in authority.’ Look, even the physical farmers of the earth have learnt to tarry for the valuable produce of the earth and our spiritual husbandman waits and expects us to become valuable produce; seeing that the picture of us coming into flourishing is painted for us in verses 17-20 of the 14th chapter of the book of Revelation’ which helps us understand the importance of patience ‘better known as longsuffering and endurance is required’ until the seed of the Word which is planted in your grounds receive early and latter rain which causes the Word to have increase. Most saints fail to realize this; in your patience ‘which is in your endurance, your waiting upon the Lord’ you gain legal title of controlling your soul ‘which is your appetite’. In understanding this we should be anxious for nothing. In getting back into where we left off in the food for thought which is dated the 27th day of the 3rd month of the 2017th year; we were focusing on the separation of the nation of Israel which at one time were made up of the unity of twelve tribes. But when peacefulness died ‘and this peaceful person in who we are speaking of is no other than Solomon; the son of loving; and loving is David.’ God held the nation together as long as Solomon lived; hint, hint, hint!!! This means God would patiently put up with something or someone because of the promise that He made to someone greater than the person in whom He’s putting up with; even as the 24th verse of the 2nd chapter of the book of Exodus reveals that long after the death of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, God remembered His covenant with them, which caused God to move on the behalf of a stiff-necked murmuring rebellious people called Israel; and you can add your name to this list also. Incase people of today, seeing that it’s the 2017th year, and they may not know that we are blessed because of God’s covenant still with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, which shows in these scriptures: the 9th verse of the 3rd chapter of the book of Galatians reveals; so then we which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. And the 28th verse of the 4th chapter of the book of Galatians reveals; right now, we brethren, as Isaac was, we are the children of promise. Even from the 2nd verse of the 1st chapter of the book of Malachi God Himself said: I have loved you, Yet you said, wherein has thou loved us? God said, was not wild strong and fearful Esau the rightful heir to the birthright and the blessing; but I blessed you, while you were weak and the second born, which was called Jacob, but now is named Israel? I reiterate, we are blessed not according to our own merits, we stand on the backs of our forefathers, and respect is due unto them for showing us the way. These Old Testament faithful patriarchs are watching to see if their guidance in which they left for us to follow, are they being taken seriously? I have plenty to say, but if I open it up in this here food for thought, this epistle will be to long; seeing that I would have to stop at a very vital point, so I will stop right here, for enough has been said to make you go hmm, I’ll see you later!!! Remember, we of the leadership team of Grace Message Church ministries love you, even if you don’t love us; sayonara!!!!
