Enjoyment of Christ

There is always a time wherein you just want to Praise the Lord without reason. There is just a burning feeling, a raging urge to say "Lord Jesus, I love you."

After you have received Christ as your life, you must have a very personal seeking after Christ.

Song of Songs 1:4Draw me; we will run after you — The king has brought me into his chambers — / We will be glad and rejoice in you; / We will extol your love more than wine. / Rightly do they love you.

Every believer's relationship with Christ must personal and affectionate.

Song of Songs 1:4 Draw me; we will run after you — The king has brought me into his chambers — / We will be glad and rejoice in you; / We will extol your love more than wine. / Rightly do they love you.

To be satisfied with ordinary days in the divine dispensing.

Genesis 1:1In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2But the earth became waste and emptiness, and darkness was on the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was brooding upon the surface of the waters. 3And God said, Let there be light; and there was light. 4And God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness. 5And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.

To live a normal life in the divine dispensing.

Matthew 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham: 2Abraham begot Isaac, and Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot Judah and his brothers,

How can one be an elder? How can one be a co-worker? How do we shepherd people? Love is the most excellent way.

1Corinthians 12:31 But earnestly desire the greater gifts. And moreover I show to you a most excellent way.
1Corinthians 13:13Now there abide faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.

Although we can know Christ, we cannot understand Him thoroughly. We know that Jesus Christ is the Son and that He is also called the Father, for the Bible tells us so. But we cannot comprehend this adequately.

It is beyond our ability to understand this. We simply Believe whatever the BIBLE says and praise Him for being so wonderful!

Throughout the day we need to maintain our fellowship with the Lord and thereby contact Him, apply Him, experience Him, and enjoy Him.

John 15:4 Abide in Me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.

Col. 1:12 Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you for a share of the allotted portion of the saints in the light.

Our need is to learn how to enjoy and experience Christ. God has placed us in Christ. The children of Israel entered into the land of Canaan and were each allotted a portion of the land

To have peace is to be a slave of the Lord Jesus.

Brothers and Sisters, did you know that man is created to rest in Christ? Do you have many things that take your rest away? Let us read the book of Matthew 11:28-30

28 Come to Me all who toil and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

Come to the Lord Jesus and He will give you rest.

Amen, Christ Morning!

God needs a kingdom so that He may have an expression.

Luke 17:21 Nor will they say, Behold, here it is! or, There! For behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.

God's kingdom is you and me continually enjoying, praising and loving the Lord Jesus!

We are blessed when we enjoy the WORD of the Lord Jesus!

PSALM 1

1 Blessed is the man / Who does not walk / In the counsel of the wicked, / Nor stand on the path of sinners, / Nor sit in the seat of mockers;

2 Rather his delight is in the law of Jehovah, / And in His law he meditates by day and by night.

3 And he will be like a tree / Transplanted beside streams of water, / Which yields its fruit in its season, / And whose foliage does not wither; / And everything he does prospers.

Hymn : God, You are now rearranging my way

1. God, You are now rearranging my way.
All I have built You’re destroying today.
Those serving faithfully daily decrease.
Dishonesty, misunderstandings increase.

Chorus:
My eyes are teary; I can’t see You clearly,
As though all Your words aren’t as real as before.
You make me decrease, that You might thus increase,
To make Your will sweeter than e’er before.

Psalm 20:5 says, “May we shout victoriously in Your salvation.”

A day without a Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! is a day without boasting in victory.

The problem is that many of us have come to realize that what we think we lack before the Lord and what we ask for are merely things.

Cleanse our mind, emotion and will Lord Jesus, that we will not focus on the mere physical things but only focus our eyes to you. Give us the dove's eyes, only focus on you.

The church as the Body of Christ is absolutely a matter of life. The church as the Body of Christ is not a doctrine; it is of life. A man cannot become a part of the Body of Christ just by understanding it. He becomes a part of the Body of Christ through regeneration. This is absolutely a matter of life; it has nothing to do with knowledge or doctrine.

1 Thessalonians 1:3 Remembering unceasingly your work of faith and labor of love and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

How lovely it is to move according to the word of the Lord!

2Ch 12:12 And when he humbled himself, the anger of Jehovah turned away from him, and He did not destroy them completely; and also things in Judah were good.

Do not be afraid of the Lord, He might get angry but all we need to do is to humble of ourselves and go back to HIM.

Co 1:12 Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you for a share of the allotted portion of the saints in the light;

Praise the Lord! We love you Lord Jesus!

2Th 1:10 When He comes to be glorified in His saints and to be marveled at in all those who have believed (because our testimony to you was believed) in that day.

Brothers and Sisters we are important, God needs us for HIM to be glorified in this age.

Your status, age, wealth does not matter, HE needs a group of people that can magnify HIM!

John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal and kill; I have come that they may have life and may have it abundantly.

I love this verse, He came to give us life, an abundant one. Abundant here does not mean that we will have earthly riches.

Brothers and Sisters,
abundant life means every moment of our life is filled with Christ!

Praise the Lord!

Isaiah 25:4 For you have been a stronghold to the weak,
A stronghold to the needy in his distress,
A refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat;
For the breath of those who terrify is like a tempest against a wall.

Oh Lord Jesus your are our stronghold!

Praise the Lord!

Philippians 3
8 But moreover I also count all things to be loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as refuse that I may gain Christ

9 And be found in Him, not having my own righteousness which is out of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is out of God and based on faith,

10 To know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

#554 I come to His presence afresh.

Acts 13:22 And when He had deposed him, He raised up David for them as king, to whom also He testified and said, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to My heart, who will do all My will.

We are today's Davids, men who are according to God's heart. A group of people who are willing to the will of God!

1Th 5:9For God did not appoint us to wrath but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

So many times we are so pre-occupied by the negative environment, situation and things that we often forget that we are appointed to obtain salvation, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.

Ephesians 6:10Finally, be empowered in the Lord and in the might of His strength.

Oh Lord Jesus, empower us every moment of our lives. May this be our normal living.

A person always being empowered by you alone!

Our heart should only be drawn to the sweet enjoyment of the unsearchable riches of Christ living in our spirit.
