    There is nothing you need to remain strong in the Lord and the power of His might which the Lord has not given to you. Don’t break down, and don’t live as one who is defenseless. Selah.

    These sons of Ephraim were armed and well equipped, yet turned back in the day of battle. You can be resourced and still turn away from the pursuit of purpose.

    Make it your determination that the purpose and plan of the Lord shall prosper in your hands.

    This was what the Prophet Isaiah declared concerning Jesus;
     
    “…He will enjoy a long life, and the LORD ’s good plan will prosper in his hands.” Isaiah 53:10 (NLT).

    Beloved, God has called you for this reason; that His purpose and good plan will prosper in your hands.

    Don’t settle for less; go for the ultimate plan of God. You are enabled for this purpose.
     
    Shalom.

    You cannot say you have faith and be silent. Faith speaks! To act in faith is to act according to God’s word, and God is not silent. Even in His silence, there is a message. Do you believe what God says? Then you must speak forth His word with boldness.
    Apostle Bennie
    Author

    All through time, man couldn’t fully have access to dwell and enjoy the Lord’s presence in its fullness.

    So He decided to tabernacle among men so that He would assimilate as many as believe in Him, into Himself.

    This is why God came to dwell among us through the WORD (who is Jesus the Word made flesh).

    “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us…” John 1:14.

    To dwell among us means the Word made His HOME among us. It also means He TABERNACLED among us. This is for us to have access to the Lord.

    “How greatly to be envied are those you have chosen to come and live with you within the holy tabernacle courts! What joys await us among all the good things there.” Psalm 65:4 (TLB)

    Now we have access to the Lord’s presence or inner chamber through Christ Jesus.

    What a joy!

    BELOVED, don’t permit anything to distract you from enjoying the glorious things in the Lord’s presence.

    Hallelujah!

    YOU CARRY HIS FULLNESS

    “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us” 

    2 Corinthians 4:7 (NKJV)

    There are some thoughts which control our mindsets and how we think about our lives.

    For example: You might have heard people make statements like:

    “We came to this world empty, and we will all leave empty”

    How can this be true?

    Some people have really made this thought pattern their consciousness. They think they came to this world empty, so their lives are empty.

    These thoughts even control the mindsets of certain saints in Christ.

    A man in Christ cannot be empty. A man without God has an empty life.

    When you become born again, you receive the treasure of God into you.

    This treasure is the fullness of the life of God in you.

    You can’t carry this life and be empty.

    The thoughts of emptiness are not of God.

    “For His divine power has bestowed on us [absolutely] everything necessary for [a dynamic spiritual] life and godliness, through true and personal knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.” 1 Peter 1:3 (Amplified)

    In your relationship with God, you are supplied with EVERYTHING about life and godliness (the expression of divinity).

    Some feel empty because they don’t feel satisfied, or complete.

    If you are unsatisfied, you are looking at the wrong places.

    Beloved, you are made complete in Christ. Stop looking at things you think you lack or don’t have. Look inside, you have God’s greatest treasure.

    Selah!

    LOOK INSIDE

    “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us”

    JESUS SERVES THE BEST WINE

    (With Imperfect Vessels 2) 4

    “And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.”

    John 2:6-7 (KJV)

    From the previous discussion, we realised the book of John doesn’t just provide historical details of Jesus.

    You are to read and study the book to behold the glory of God manifested in the flesh. The miracles outlined in the book of John represent the variegated richness of the PERSON of Jesus.

    In the first chapter of John’s Gospel, he revealed Jesus as the one who has come to reveal the fullness of God.

    He said, “No one has ever gazed upon the fullness of God’s splendor except the uniquely beloved Son,
    who is cherished by the Father and held close to his heart. Now he has unfolded to us the full explanation of who God truly is!”     John 1:18 (TPT)

    Though it is said, that God spoke to Moses face to face or mouth to mouth, it was still in shadows. God was fully revealed in Christ.

    The law was given through Moses, but Christ came as the embodiment of grace and truth. He came to show us God’s true person.

    Jesus came to express the glory of the Father.

    Now look at what happened when He turned water into wine.

    “And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
    This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.”     John 2:10 -11 (KJV).

    The miracle of turning water into wine was to reveal His glory (which is the GLORY and REVELATION OF GOD).

    Every miracle Jesus did was a sign to show us the Person of God.

    There are some who are of the opinion that God doesn’t take an interest in everything that happens in our lives. But that is not the case. Jesus at the wedding ceremony reveals that God attends weddings.

    In everything you do, don’t be shy to let God in. He is interested in your affairs.

    The interest of God is not to just sit on His throne as the MIGHTY, ALL-POWERFUL GOD, who controls men and weighs their worship and sacrifices.

    The interest of God is to love you, to be in you, live through you and be part of all you do.

    You cannot explain the fullness of God through Moses.
    In Moses, we see water turned into blood, but in Christ, water is turned into wine.

    For water to be turned into blood points to death. However, Jesus showed us the essence of life, by turning water into wine. He came not to produce death. He came to produce life, gladness and eternal satisfaction.

    The goodness of God was seen through Jesus.

    The goodness of God always abound.

    Mary came to Jesus saying, “There is no wine”.

    Jesus made them fill the six waterpots to the brim.  Each water pot takes 30 gallons. Thus, Jesus produced 150 more gallons for the wedding. They had more than enough, because of Jesus.

    I mentioned in the previous post that the number six is the number of Man and also the number of imperfection (seven is also the number of perfection).

    Man was made on the sixth day (he will always have something to do with the number 6). And also man who was good became imperfect. This is not to force an interpretation to churn “deeper” revelation. This is a basic symbolism to help appreciate the poetic whispers of the scriptures.

    The waterpots are also vessels which can be imperfect because they are breakable.

    The best wine Jesus produced didn’t come out of golden vessels with extraordinary water.

    Out of this imperfect religious jar came a new fine wine.

    “We are like common clay jars that carry this glorious treasure within, so that the extraordinary overflow of power will be seen as God’s, not ours.” 2 Corinthians 4:7 (TPT)

    Now, the waterpots were not for the main event. They were used by strict Jewish religious leaders for their religious cleansing as they got on to the main event (Read Mark 7:3-4).

    Because of how these waterpots have been used for religious activities, they needed to be refilled with fresh water. And it was filled to the brim. Water is mainly used by John as the symbol of the Spirit-life (John 4, John 7).

    For the Lord to bring a perfect wine out of your imperfection, He has to transfuse His overflowing life into you.

    As a new creation in Christ, the Lord has filled you with His Spirit-Life. That is an eternal treasure in you.

    There is a treasure of God in you. Stop judging yourself by the imperfections. Look inside.

    Within you is God’s refreshing answer to the world.

    Don’t live as an imperfect vessel. Live according to the treasure of the Spirit within you.

    For out of you the Lord is brewing a perfect wine to satisfy the world.

    Hallelujah!

    ETERNAL DWELLING WITH THE LORD 2

    “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever”

    Psalm 23:6 (NKJV)

    The beautiful thing we see about this Psalm is the revelation of the Father and His family. The sheep was not just hosted by the Lord; he was brought into the Lord’s house to become part of His household forever.

    Yesterday we saw that, one must be a son to dwell in a house forever (as in eternally). (John 8:35)

    As many who believe in Jesus and receive Him, are given the right to become sons of God (John 1:12).

    To dwell is from the Hebrew word, yâshab which means to sit down; to remain; to settle to marry; make to abide continually; to be established; make to inhabit; to remain; to settle or tarry.

    The word “house“, bayith depict the concept of family. It doesn’t just mean a building structure. It means a home you were born in; a household. Bayith also has the idea of a steward. It also means a temple or tabernacle; a palace; a court; an inner chamber or the presence of a King.

    Now, how do you settle, abide, or settle down in the inner chamber of a King forever when you are not a true son?

    To dwell in the house of the Lord is to have a deeper relationship with the Lord. This must be the dream and desire of every man.

    To dwell in the Lord’s presence is to be established in your true home, where you can commune with the Lord.

    Look at David’s deepest longing:

    “Here’s the one thing I crave from God, the one thing I seek above all else: I want the privilege of living with him every moment in his house, finding the sweet loveliness of his face, filled with awe, delighting in his glory and grace. I want to live my life so close to him that he takes pleasure in my every prayer.” Psalm 27:4 (TPT).

    Deep within the heart of every man is the silent cry to experience the Lord’s presence or to dwell in the court of our God.

    God designed man to abide with Him. And it has always been His dream to bring man into that intimate relationship with Him.

    All through time man couldn’t fully have access to dwell and enjoy the Lord’s presence in its fullness.

    So He decided to tabernacle among men that He will assimilate as many that believe in Him, into Himself.

    This is why God came to dwell among us through the WORD (who is Jesus the Word made flesh).

    “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us…” John 1:14.

    To dwell among us means, the Word made His HOME among us. It also means He TABERNACLED among us. This is for us to have access to the Lord.

    “How greatly to be envied are those you have chosen to come and live with you within the holy tabernacle courts! What joys await us among all the good things there.” Psalm 65:4 (TLB)

    Now we have access to the Lord’s presence or inner chamber through Christ Jesus.

    What a joy!

    BELOVED, don’t permit anything to distract you from enjoying the glorious things in the Lord’s presence.
