The Vision - Kingsley's sharing



A story about the King and His glory
Close your eyes and hear this story about my King and his glory.

And when you look outside in the morning and you see the sun, it radiates beautifully and that there is none that compares to it you would think – but you are wrong, there is one. He is the s-o-n son, and his name is Jesus. In the palm of his hand he holds all the land, in the palm of his hand he holds all the water, in the palm of his hand he holds the universe such that all the universe cries with one verse, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God almighty! There is none like you who can compare in glory.”

Let me tell you about the king and his glory - that in his hand, the palm of his hand he holds life. And at the same time, his father who also holds that same life and holds all life, held a knife and he looked to his son, just as Abraham did to his son Isaac with a knife in his hand, he was ready to take his life. And he did, this father he took his son’s life so that there would be no more strife between us and our king, us and our father, us and our brother Jesus Christ, us and the councilor of the Holy Spirit who was your seal of approval.

That Jesus Christ upon in the grace of the Holy Spirit and in the power of the Holy Spirit made his holy appeal before God for us that Jesus when he died for us he spread his arms as far as the east and the west, as far as the eye can see. And all that he showed us was that really all we need to do is believe. That from his nail pierced hands he bled blood that was precious, blood that belonged to the righteous lamb. And so I ask and I stood before the Lord and I was like, “God, what does this mean?”

Jesus replied, “Child have you not seen do you not hear, do you not understand that because of me -because of Jesus- because of the Father because of the Spirit”, Jesus said to me, “do you not understand that by my righteous hand  you stand? In that I will promise to let you enter this holy land.” It’s a beautiful mystery, this Gospel that we sing. And all the angels try they look at this one divine thing and they’re perplexed, they’re baffled. This is the mystery entrusted to you this is the mystery of the king and his glory, that he gave his life for us so that we can tell his story.

So now to him who sits on his throne, his saints resound with the heavenly tone, that Jesus Christ has ascended to his heavenly throne. So Christians stand, stand Christians if you are a Christian today stand. Rise to your feet and stand before the king of glory, rise to your feet.

Worthy is the Lamb

Praise and prayer went a little differently tonight. We still had our time of praise, and we were able to share and pray for each other - but the sharing wasn't our typical 1-on-1 sharing time. Rather, we opened up the floor to the brothers and sisters in our fellowship to share about how God has been working in their lives, and also how God has been working through CCF to touch them.


Some notes from the sharings:
1.  Don't try to get your devos over quickly, so you can study; rather, get your studying over quickly so you can do your devos ~MCY
2.  Doing your devos should not be something you do grudgingly - find joy in doing devos! ~EL
3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 1:3-7) ~CP
4. Take a moment to enjoy the sunset; Give praise to our creator ~YY
(n.b. or the sunrise, for the morning folks in our midst)
5. Challenge: learn something new about God every day ~CL
6.  The greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. Do you have a passion to seek God, to truly want to know him?~DW
7. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:3) ~RZ

What a blessing and encouragement it is to hear from our brothers and sisters! All the honour, glory and praise be to God for his work in our fellowship. Truly, he is worthy of all our praise.

Worthy is the lamb
Seated on the throne
Crown you now with many crowns
You reign victorious

High and lifted up
Jesus son of God
The darling of heaven crucified
Worthy is the lamb
