At the time of this writing (day two of Revival 2015), we have experienced a mighty move of God. The Lord has used the evangelist in an awesome way. With clarity and power, the Word has been proclaimed.
On Monday evening the evangelist talked about “The ABCs of Life”, taken from Col. 1:9-18. This message was particularly significant because it focused our attention on the beginning. It took us back to the basics. If you want a clear understanding of anything, go back to it’s beginning. This is a principle demonstrated by Jesus, the Master Teacher, as he taught on marriage in Matthew 19:4: “and He answered and said unto them. Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female”.
The evangelist opened unto us the manifold wisdom of God. We explored the two parts of the text:
- Christ’s supremacy in creation and
- Christ’s supremacy in redemption
We know from scripture that God rules in the affairs of men, therefore we can give faith-based answers to the following questions:
- Where did we come from?
- Who is sustaining (keeping) me?
- Where will I spend eternity?
We praise God for Elder Earl Whitaker and the gift of grace given to him to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ. The takeaway from the message is indeed a blessing. In these times of trials, tribulations, terrorism, murder and may-hem, it is good to know that: Are you ready for this? “JESUS HOLDS ALL THINGS TOGETHER!”
To God be the glory for a blessed Revival.
