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

Philippians 4: 9

The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you. 

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

We, the bride, the church should seek things pertaining to peace in Christ. 

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that we, the bride, the church should cross Jordan through Christ.

Next what we are meditating upon is that in the verse 1 Chronicles 12: 16 – 18 Then some of the sons of Benjamin and Judah came to David at the stronghold. 

And David went out to meet them, and answered and said to them, “If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if to betray me to my enemies, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers look and bring judgment.” 

Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, chief of the captains, and he said: “We are yours, O David; We are on your side, O son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, And peace to your helpers! For your God helps you.” So David received them and made them captains of the troop.

In the above-mentioned verses, among those who joined with David some of the sons of Benjamin and Judah came to David at the stronghold. And David went out to meet them, and answered and said to them, “If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if to betray me to my enemies, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers look and bring judgment.” Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, chief of the captains, and he said: “We are yours, O David; We are on your side, O son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, And peace to your helpers! For your God helps you.” So David received them and made them captains of the troop.

My dear people, in the above-mentioned verses God is showing David as a pattern to our Lord Christ and every tribe are coming and joining David. But those who are betraying him to his enemies the Lord will bring judgement and we see that he is telling this. But those who are joining David he is going towards them and receiving them and also, he is telling that if you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you. Even the Lord Jesus Christ and we who are joining with him if are as those who are doing things for peace then his heart will always be with us, and he will be as the one safeguarding us. He will always be our refuge, strength and a help in time of trouble. Also, every day he will lift us up. In this manner let us submit ourselves as those who are joining with Christ. 

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