Day 28: You were made Righteous by God through Christ
Woke up at 7.10a.m. today. Wanted to go to church and listen to the message of God and oh boy am I glad I went today. Had a small little breakfast with my father. I ate 5 of those small small char chao pao and had a cuppa of coffee while chatting a little with my father. It was good.
Went to take the LRT to Choa Chu Kang then the green line to City hall. Reached there at around 9a.m. The prayer was already in session and they were singing. Thank god I made it to this song called Amazing Grace (My chains are gone). It is a different rendition of Amazing Grace that sounds simply amazing.
Ok let's cut to the chase. I know you don't read long messages so here is my compilation of the sermon today in a simple 10 minutes read.
Pastor Joseph Prince today want to tell the Church about what God is doing right now as we speak in this world.The first phrase is this: II Peter 3:8 "With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day." - This is the year 2008. Two thousands years has past so to God, this is like his third day in charge at the office. And what happens on the third day? Read the next two verse.
Hosea 6:2 "After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight."Hosea 6:3 "Then shall we know, [if] we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter [and] former rain unto the earth."
On the third day he will raise us up and we shall live in his sight. Hosea verse three says that his going forth is prepared as the morning. Means he will come early on the third day and the year 2008 is the early part of the third day which means... He Is Coming To Raise Us Up Soon! Ok. But ask the question... How will he raise us up? The magic is in the next phrase.
Amos 9:11 "In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old"
Now what is the Tabernacle of David? Tabernacle means something like a Temple. So its the Temple of David, the guy slain the Goliath and became king. Tabernacle of David means the temple which David erected to glorify God. The Pastor then bring us to this... That there are Two different Tabernacle in the bible. 1: The Tabernacle of Moses, 2: The Tabernacle of David. The Tabernacle of Moses refers to The 10 Commandments, the laws of Christianity. The Tabernacle of David refers to the Grace of God. And the Law and Grace cannot work together. It can only work in one way for in the bible, look at the next verse...
John 1:17 "For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."
And what is grace? Grace is a person. Grace is Jesus Christ. You notice that the law is given which signify some distance but Grace and truth came by Jesus. Grace and truth came as a Man and as a God. He came to earth as Jesus Christ. Grace IS Jesus Christ. And when God says he will raise up the Tabernacle of David that is Fallen he is saying he Will race up A new Covenant of Grace. Not the 10 Commandments but Grace. Why not the 10 Commandments? Read the next verse.
Hebrews 10:12 - 14 "But this man, after he had offered one Sacrifice for Sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God...... For by one offering, he has perfected forever those who are being Sanctified."
Jesus sat down at the right hand of God! Sitting down means the job is done. It is a Finished work! It is a gesture that all has past. Its is Grace. After reading this verse, consider that the Priest whom has always practice that to be worthy of God, you have to be cleansed and free of Sins. They can only stand in the presence of the lord and cannot rest. In the Tabernacle of Moses, there was no chairs, nothing with which to rest because the Tabernacle of Moses believe in the 10 Commandments, and unless you fulfill the ten commandments, you cannot be worthy of God but it is Wrong because the Bible tells us that when Jesus was nailed onto the cross, All the condemnation, all the disease, all the sickness and negativity and all the plagues and pain was all thrown unto him, who is Truly THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS FULFILLED THE 10 commandments, whom died bearing all our sins the past, present and future and such that we are all made righteous by god through the blood of Christ.
God accepts anyone into his arms. Anyone. People who Sin, people who are bad, he accepts and Love everyone for if The lord doesn't accept them and give Salvation and peace to them, who else have the power to?
This is the new covenant of Grace my friend. Do not live in the old covenant of the Law. Step into the Living, All you have to do is to Embrace God and reap his riches.
God Loves you.
Went shopping around for a little while in the Rock Auditorium New creation Bookstore. I bought a book titled "Destined to Reign" by Pastor Joseph Prince and read it. Its truly quite insprirational all glory to god.
I returned home, relax for a bit and when out to work out. We played badminton for two hours. My brother won 1 round and I won the other. Ate chicken rice after that. Came back home, caught a bit of TV and came back home.
We went to the nearby coffeeshop to watch the liverpool Man U game. Man U won 3-0. Yea... Its God plans though I'm a Liverpool Fan.
Going to sleep now, I hope that this will be a week of fulfillment and since we are made new in the eyes of God, we have renewed youths like the eagle. God bless all of us. God bless her. =)
