ForewordMatthew 24:35 (Amplified)
Sky and earth will pass away, but My words will not
pass away.
We are living in a perilous world that is slowly passingaway at an increasing rate. Global events have more
than substantiated this. Hence, instead of dwelling onthings that are passing away, I chose to promote those
things that are sure and permanent.
The period between my birthday and the day I return to
Jesus is called the dash. I believe that dash representsthe Book of Remembrance in heaven. We have a say
what that dash will be.
So, what will my dash or my Book of Remembrancecontain?
As I read the Bible, I am convinced that each and everybeloved child of God has been commissioned to share
the Gospel in His Word.
Hence, the purpose behind what I am doing.

o me, attending church is to see the speaker
unveil the glory of Jesus Christ. [2 Corinthians 3:18].
I simply love 2 Corinthians 3:18!
And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the
Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being
transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one
degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.
As I behold the glory of Jesus Christ, the blessed Holy
Spirit will transform me into His very own image!
Wow! I can definitely live with that! What about
you?
I am looking for messages reminding me that I am the
Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
I want to see what Jesus precious Blood has secured
for me!
I want to see what His Resurrection means to me!

I want to see Jesus in all His glory and perfection.
See Jesus!
See Jesus to believe!
Psalms 27:13 [KJV]
I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness
of the LORD in the land of the living.

Jesus Christ Whom we do not see in the flesh but in the
Word is, to our hope of all things, the [Hebrews 11:1]:
1.Confirmation;2.Title deed;3.Proof; and4.Reality.
For the longest time I have been under the impression
that it is all about my faith. I need to have faith.But in truth, it is all about seeing Jesus as the
confirmation, the title deed, the proof and reality of all
the things that I am hoping for.
It is all about Jesus! And none of me!
And because it is Jesus Himself bringing to pass all thatI am hoping for, I can therefore have the assurance and
confidence.
I thank the blessed Holy Spirit for this conviction.
See Jesus as Our Faith

I am not attending church to get saved or be blessed. I
am already saved and blessed by the precious Blood of
Jesus and His Resurrection![Ephesians 2:5, Ephesians 2:8-9].
Matthew 6:33 says to seek of first importance His
kingdom and His Righteousness and all the things I
need shall be added to me.
Jesus Christ is His Kingdom. [Colossians 1:13].
Jesus Christ is His Righteousness. [2 Corinthians 5:21].
Jesus Christ is His Word. [John 1:1].
To seek His Kingdom and His Righteousness is to seek
Jesus.
To seek Jesus is to seek the Word (the Bible).Romans 10:17 says faith comes by hearing and hearing
by the Word of Christ.
Jesus is The Author and Finisher of my faith. [Hebrews12:2].
He IS my Faith!

Jesus says as my faith [i.e. Jesus, the Word] is to me, so
be It to me! [Matthew 9:29].
Who is Jesus to me?
He is my Healer!
He is my Provider!
He is my Health!
He is my Wealth!
He is my Strength!
He is my All in all!
I attend church to hear the speaker expound the Bible to
unveil the glory of Jesus Christ, my Righteousness ofGod!
See Jesus As My ALL

dont have to attend church. I get to!
It is a privilege.
To have a sense of this privilege, lets see whatthe Bible says.
Only the Aaron priesthood can enter Gods sanctuary.
Numbers 3:38 (Amplified)
But those to encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, before the Tent of
Meeting, toward the sunrise, were to be Moses and Aaron and his sons, keepingthe full charge of the rites of the sanctuary in whatever was required for the
Israelites; and the[a]
excluded [one not a descendant of Aaron and called of God]
who came near [the sanctuary] was to be put to death.
Footnotes:
a. Numbers 3:38 This ban against "the excluded" from coming near the sanctuary (thesacred tent, the tabernacle proper) is not to be construed as discrimination against
people who were not Israelites. It included everyone except the ordained descendants
of Levi of the house of Aaron. The tabernacle proper was made up of two smallrooms which no one except the priest or priests who had the assignment was ever to
enter. The congregation entered the outside enclosure only. This was true also of
the later temples. Neither Jesus nor any of his disciples or Paul ever entered the
sanctuary. When Jesus "taught in the temple" or "entered into the temple," the Greek
word invariably indicates that He was in the temple enclosure (hieron) and not in the
sanctuary (naos). (For more information, see Richard Trench, Synonyms of The New
Testament). For a violation of this ban see II Chron. 26:16-21, which tells of King
Uzziah, who attempted to enter the sanctuary to burn incense and while being forcibly
put out by eighty priests became a leper--for the rest of his life.

And there were restrictions on the selected ones.
What were the restrictions? One of them was damaged
testicles! Read on.Leviticus 21:16-24
16And the Lord said to Moses,
17Say to Aaron, Any one of your sons in their successive generations who has
any blemish, let him not come near to offer the bread of his God.
18For no man who has a blemish shall approach [God's altar to serve as priest],a man blind or lame, or he who has a disfigured face ora limb too long,
19Or who has a fractured foot or hand,
20Or is a hunchback, or a dwarf, or has a defect in his eye, or has scurvy or
itch, orscabs or skin trouble, or has damaged testicles. (I find this hilarious!)
21 No man of the offspring of Aaron the priest who has a blemish and is
disfigured or deformed shall come near [the altar] to offer the offerings of the
Lord made by fire. He has a blemish; he shall not come near to offer the breadof his God.
22He may eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy and of the holythings,
23But he shall not come within the veil or come near the altar [of incense],
because he has a blemish, that he may not desecrate and make unclean Mysanctuaries and hallowed things; for I the Lord do sanctify them.
24And Moses told it to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israelites.
Today, even those with all the above defects get to
attend church.

Going by the above verses, we can deduce that Aaron
and his descendants were very good-looking and of perfect physiques. They had to be so to approach the
Holy One.
Can you then imagine the Holy One Himself, Jesus
Christ? How handsome and a hunk of a man He must
have been!I just so love to quote 2 Corinthians 3:18!
As we behold His glory, the blessed Holy Spirit will
transform us into His very same image!
Wow!
I just cant get over it!!!

ts party time to celebrate the Resurrection of
our Lord Jesus Christ and our salvation on
Resurrection Morn!
By His Resurrection, our salvation was secured.
There is no condemnation should I miss church.[Romans 8:1]
I only missed out on the fun
the music anddancing!
Luke 15:24-25
24Because this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!
And they began to revel and feast and make merry.
25But his older son was in the field; and as he returned and came near the
house, he heard music and dancing.

he Apostle Paul said we are to personally
bring our tithes.
1 Corinthians 16:2
On the first [day] of each week, let each one of you [personally] put aside
something and save it up as he has prospered [in proportion to what he is
given], so that no collections will need to be taken after I come.
Malachi 3:10
Bring all the tithes (the whole tenth of your income) into the storehouse, that
there may be food in My house, and prove Me now by it, says the Lord of hosts,
if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour you out a blessing,
that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Attending church is but one of the many privileges and
benefits of a believer.Psalm 103: 1-5
1BLESS (AFFECTIONATELY, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul; and all
that is [deepest] within me, bless His holy name!
2Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul, and forget not
[one of] all His benefits--
3Who forgives [every one of] all your iniquities, Who heals [each one of] allyour diseases,
4Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption, Who beautifies, dignifies,
and crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercy;
5Who satisfies your mouth [your necessity and desire at your personal age
and situation] with good so that your youth, renewed, is like the eagle's [strong,overcoming, soaring]!
Notice verse 5 says necessity and desire. To me, that
means wants and needs. No wonder Abba Father says
in Psalm 23:1 that The Lord is my Shepherd and I shall
not lack. Period!
Bless the Lord
