“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”
Mark 16: 15, 16
And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen
We, the bride, the church, should proclaim regarding the resurrected Christ as the gospel.
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 enter into the grace of Christ.
Next what we are meditating upon is that in 1 Chronicles 16: 19 – 22 When you were few in number, indeed very few, and strangers in it.
When they went from one nation to another, And from one kingdom to another people,
He permitted no man to do them wrong; Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes,
Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm.”
In the above-mentioned verses, the Lord is using the children of Israel to show us as a pattern and what he is telling is that Christ, the bride, the church will enter our soul and regarding this how we, the bride, the church must live for the Lord, and this is the pattern that the Lord has showed us. That is, in those days they were few people in number and were strangers. In the soul of those whom Christ, the bride, the church does not come are written as strangers. Now even in the portion of the New Testament what is written as strangers is that though the people hear the word of the Lord when they do not walk according to them and when we do not receive the complete grace then we are strangers. This is because they do not walk according to the Spirit but walk according to the flesh and it is written in this manner regarding them. But the word of the Lord in Ephesians 2: 19, 20 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,
having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,
In the above-mentioned verses, the word of God says that we should not be strangers and foreigners but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God. Like that, the Israelites also went from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people. He permitted no man to do them wrong; and he rebuked kings for their sakes, saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.”
My dear people, what the Lord is telling us is how the children of Israel went to the other nation and left their kingdom and went to the other people and how the Lord sent Moses and Aaron those who were anointed by the Lord to the Egyptians and saw the oppression that the Egyptians oppressed the Israelites by and due to them the Lord did many wonders and delivered them from Egypt and led them and in all the paths that they came he did not allow any kings to do them any harm or touch them but he rebuked them and commanded them and brought them to their own land and showed us as a pattern and if we will be as those who are anointed by the Lord then we will not be as strangers and foreigners but in the fellowship of saints we will be as one household so if we will come to our own land, that is Christ with our whole mind then God will not submit us to any evil. That is, the anointed Christ from within us because he has started the journey of faith till, he makes its end blessed for those who obey he will not be still. Regarding that only in John 17: 14, 15 I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.
According to the above-mentioned verses, when the love for the world within us is being removed then Christ will deliver us from evil. Then in our life big changes will come and regarding this in 1 Chronicles 16: 23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.
The explanation of this verse is that if the Lord has saved us and anointed us then regarding this salvation, we must proclaim it as gospel among the people.
My dear people in the Lord who are reading this let us submit ourselves to proclaim the words of gospel of the Lord to the people.
Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
