Ok, so today’s
message is kind of a dual message. Two things are on my mind hence my very somber
scripture, but I believe the Holy Spirit is placing this on my heart for a reason.
So, here we go.
Ezekiel 32 is a prophetic message from the prophet Ezekiel
that pronounces the fall and judgment of Egypt and its ruler, Pharaoh. It
delivers a stern warning about the consequences of human pride and highlights
that no earthly power, no matter how great, is exempt from God’s justice.
Now Jesus said in John 16:33, “These things I have spoken to
you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have
tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world”. Now this
scripture has pretty much become one that is daily on my mind since this whole
court case started, but why today so much.
I wrote earlier in one my messages that I did not realize for
some time how many people all over the world reads my blog and I have to
emphasize this. It is and will always be an honour and a privilege to write to
you my friend and please know that I do not take this lightly, but I understand
the importance of sharing what God puts on my heart. Now with that in mind I also
realise that many of you reading this blog are in countries where Christianity
is not celebrated freely and that you are persecuted for your faith in Jesus
Christ.
This makes
writing to you even more important and sharing what God does in my life and in the
lives or other more relevant. You see Paul writes in Romans 5, “And not only
that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces
perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does
not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by
the Holy Spirit who was given to us”.
You see my
faith and my love of Christ has taken me through lies, deceit, loss, pain and
even prison. Yet, in all of this I remain focused on the Lord my God and on
Jesus Christ who saved me.
So, what I am
trying to say is that we face tribulation and we go through stuff, but God’s
Word remains unchanged and we must never live for this world but for the life
after this. Yes, we may be persecuted and even killed but to live is Christ and
to die is gain for we know that in the end we will live forever in the house of
the Lord and all that we face now is but a mere moment.
Then part
two, is simply in the end we will all stand before the judgment seat of God,
and we will face His wrath for the things we have done. Do not underestimate your
value in the kingdom of God but boldly live out your faith and save as many as
you can. For one more salvation is one less lost.
I love you,
my friend, and I know it is hard, but know this. God is with you all the way. I
know this because I see it so clearly every day. No matter the outcome of my
day, I will still praise His name. It shall be well.
Have an awesome
day.
