Wait Upon The Lord

He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.

And the young men shall utterly fall,
31 But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

Developing Devotional

Trusting in God’s
Word is trusting in the very source of all that is created in the Universe. By
daily meditating on the Word of God, we are tapping upon the very source
of power that created this Universe. God Himself guarantees His own Word
(Hebrews 6:17-18).

The things of the Spiritual World were not designed to be swallowed in
one big gulp; they were designed to be partaken one portion at a time just
like we have our physical daily infusion of air, water and food

We might not have felt
the immediate effect in our lives (sometimes we do) but through time its
effect, compounded over months and years, have a revolutionary impact
upon all of our life.

Success in both the natural and spiritual world is by growth and not
merely by our efforts. We grow into success rather than work for success.
We grow into the mighty things of the Spirit rather than strive for them. We
grow into the character of Christ rather than trying to be like Christ. The
New Testament is not
the Old Testament with different laws; the New
Testament is a new way of living and not a new set of creeds.

God manifests measures of His presence on
earth in direct proportion to the cloud of thanksgiving, praises and worship
that we could surround ourselves with.

How To Meet Jesus In The Word

  1. “He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.” — Numbers 23:21 (KJV)
  2. Because burn offerings was going up covering all Israel, ensoothing the sweet fragrance smellling aroma.
  3. We are all unto God, sweet fragrance of Christ. The fragrance cover all nasty smells of jealousy, resentments etc
  4. Like Isaac clothed by animal skin with sweet fragrance that cause Jacob to bless him, we are clothed with Jesus, sweet smelling aroma to God that cause Him to bless us
  5. Lowest task : gleaning. Lev 23:22 22 ‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field when you reap, nor shall you gather any gleaning from your harvest. You shall leave them for the poor and for the stranger: I am the Lord your God.’ 
  6. 26 Jesus answered them and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. 27 Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.” John 6:26-27
    When you open the Bible, you are laboring but He is giving
  7. Isaiah 55:12 “For you shall go out with joy, And be led out with peace; The mountains and the hills Shall break forth into singing before you, And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

  17. Ruth has special connection with Boaz but she did not pull strings. To “pull strings” means to secretly use your personal power, influence, or important friends to get a favor or an unfair advantage.

  19. Ruth 2:3 “Then she left, and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers. And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech”
  20. Once you confess favor, your future are happenings. God’s way is believe first and you will see.
  21. We are fallen and perverted, we want to see first and then we speak. When a machine breakdown, we go to manufacture handbook to find how we are made. Likewise, we are fallen, we need to go to Bible to see how we are made and redeemed.
  22. When we spend time in the Word, God will cause your haps to happen and your days become full, your sleep will be sweet. God prepare your right happenings. We’ll be able to do lots of things in short time. God will bring things we need to attend to and you will accomplish much more.
  23. Spending time in the word and pray is not a waste time, but they will bring you to right place and right time, the haps.
  24. When I neglect God’s words, I find my days is not so well
  25. Martin Luther : I am so busy, I cant afford not to pray.
  26. Ministry which is full of Holy Spirit will never call attention to the Spirit, but to Jesus Christ.
  27. Holy Spirit empowers us by His Gifts and characters by the Fruit
  28. When you attend church or cell group, whatever you get, you are gleaning what is drop even though you dont understand fully.
  29. Just reap the word – sounds right but it is not. God gives gifts and teachers. God’s word is organic raw foods.
  30. Divinely orchestrating : Bible
  31. Our inner man is not cheap, and can not be satisfied with anything less than Jesus. The only bread, the field that feeds. We are made for eternity.

  44. Parched grain : deep truth
  45. But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! Luke 15:17

Interpretation of the Song of Songs

Sermon : Experience Abundant Life When You Feed On Jesus

  1. The most beautiful, loving, greatest song is the song that describe the love of Christ
  2. Three ways to interpret Song of Songs :
    • Dispentionally : Israel and Jehovah

  7. First coming of Jesus : gold frankincense and myrrh. Myrrh represent bitterness. At second coming, no more myrrh
  8. Universe is made by time, space and matters
  9. Jesus is the Lord of time. Story of water into wine. Good wine in Israel takes 7 years because teaching of Torah and Talmud. Every 7 years land rest. Compare to modern approach 3-4 years. The lowest place on earth is dead sea. Jesus compressed time. Time has triunity : past, present, future. Jesus can go back to your time and heal you. He can go to your future and prepare it for you.
  10. Jesus is the Lord of space.
    Story : Jesus healed nobleman’s son from distance. “Jesus said to him, ‘Go your way; your son lives.’ So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.” — John 4:50 (NKJV)
    Space has three dimensions Length, depth and height
  11. Jesus is the Lord of matter. Story : 2 bread and 5 fish. He multiplied matters. Energy, motion and fenomena
  12. Jehovah/Yahweh : the One who was, who is and who is to come. The One who is continually existing.
  13. The most important thing is come to Jesus.
