Hi Dears. Praise The Lord........... King of kings Reading: Psalm 29Take heart, because I have overcome the world (Jn 16:33b) Hebrews 11 is called the Chapter of Faith. The word faith occurs 24 times in this Chapter, and the reference to pleasing God atleast 5 times (vv 2,4,5,6,39). The faith that pleases God is a victorious faith. It acknowledges Him marching before us as the Victor. It trusts Him for safety (v31) and triumph (vv 30,33) in all situations. Such a faith is optimistic. A threefold knowledge results from this kind of faith—a) God knows how to protect us from all peril around us. By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace (v 31). Apostle Peter said, The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations (2 Pet 2:9). Rahab was saved because of the red thread which is indicative of the Blood of Christ. The enemy trembles at the Blood. When we are covered by the Blood, there is no need for any fear. There is power, power, wonder-working power, in the Blood of the Lamb!b) The gates of hell cannot prevail against the Church. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days (v30). The enemys fortress crumbled before the mighty shout of Jehovahs army. The Church is on the offence! Hell cannot hold against the crusade of saints. I will build My Church, and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it, said Jesus triumphantly. A student was asked by a Sunday School teacher to summarize the Book of Revelation in a few words. The boy answered, Thats simple: JESUS WINS!c) All the kingdoms shall be subdued. Through faith they subdued kingdoms (v33). All the kingdoms of the earth shall bow before the Kingdom of Christ. There is a glorious prophecy in the Book of Daniel: Then the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His Kindgom is an everlasting Kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him (Dan 7:27). We are talking about super powers but there comes a power that is supreme and supernatural! We are and will be part of it! Glory!God who is in us is greater than he who is in the world! (1 Jn 4:4). The Church is on its triumphant march and nothing can stop it.Rejoice! Rejoice! our King is coming!And the time will not be long,Until we hail the radiant dawning,And lift up the glad new song! (Rian A. Dykes)
