16 There are six things the Lord hates--
no, seven things he detests:
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that kill the innocent,
18 a heart that plots evil,
feet that race to do wrong,
19 a false witness who pours out lies,
a person who sows discord in a family.
20 My son, obey your father’s commands,
and don’t neglect your mother’s instruction.
21 Keep their words always in your heart.
Tie them around your neck.
22 When you walk, their counsel will lead you.
When you sleep, they will protect you.
When you wake up, they will advise you.
23 For their command is a lamp
and their instruction a light;
their corrective discipline
is the way to life.

"Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine."
John 21:12

In these words the believer is invited to a holy nearness to Jesus. "Come and dine," implies the same table, the same meat; aye, and sometimes it means to sit side by side, and lean our head upon the Saviour's bosom. It is being brought into the banqueting-house, where waves the banner of redeeming love. "Come and dine," gives us a vision of union with Jesus, because the only food that we can feast upon when we dine with Jesus is himself. Oh, what union is this! It is a depth which reason cannot fathom, that we thus feed upon Jesus. "He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him." It is also an invitation to enjoy fellowship with the saints. Christians may differ on a variety of points, but they have all one spiritual appetite; and if we cannot all feel alike, we can all feed alike on the bread of life sent down from heaven. At the table of fellowship with Jesus we are one bread and one cup. As the loving cup goes round we pledge one another heartily therein. Get nearer to Jesus, and you will find yourself linked more and more in spirit to all who are like yourself, supported by the same heavenly manna. If we were more near to Jesus we should be more near to one another. We likewise see in these words the source of strength for every Christian. To look at Christ is to live, but for strength to serve him you must "come and dine." We labour under much unnecessary weakness on account of neglecting this precept of the Master. We none of us need to put ourselves on low diet; on the contrary, we should fatten on the marrow and fatness of the gospel that we may accumulate strength therein, and urge every power to its full tension in the Master's service. Thus, then, if you would realize nearness to Jesus, union with Jesus, love to his people and strength from Jesus, "come and dine" with him by faith.

This Sunday there was a most extraordinary service at Tree of Life. In celebrating our second year of service for the Kingdom of God. We experienced an abundant anointing of God's presence and it was greatly enhanced during our moment of Praise and Worship.

I felt such a presence of Gods anointing for it was then that I realized that this Praise and Worship got past the ceiling of our sanctuary. For there was such a endearing and compassionate call for His presence that I know it reached the Throne room of God as our praise and worship pleased HIm so. And in doing what we did, it helped to saturate our sanctuary with His Love, His Compassion and His Presence.

It was also a time for remembrance of how God has moved in our lives these past two years, and I was amazed at how it brought about a yearning in us for the things to come.

God is an awesome God, and the work that He is instructing us to accomplish here at Tree of Life is directly attributed to coming of the Kingdom of God.

In being led by Holy Spirit, we are moved in servicing the Kingdom in the same character and manner in which Jesus served His Father.

And there is no other way but Jesus!

I saw that Sunday we continued to be obedient to what Romans 12:1-2 mandates us to do.

Romans 12:1-12  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

In the past two years there has been a transformation, there has been a renewing of our minds.

Now, we look forward to the future, for there is a plan and a path laid out for us to follow, Yet not alone, for we have a counselor, an advocate and a power so full of wisdom that if we just submit to Him, there is no way we can fail.

I give God all the HONOR, PRAISE and all the GLORY!

In the Mighty Matchless Name of Jesus, Amen!

We had an excellence finish with our teaching on virtue. In this nation that is more moved by vices than virtue we must look to Virtue Himself Jesus Christ for the answers to our questions. He is the Way and there is no other.
We must take on His attributes so that we become more obedient to our Fathers desires for our life.

Phillipians 4:8

“Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy — meditate on these things.”

VIRTUE, in a word, is the character of Jesus Christ.

It is the power of moral excellence which produces a character so great, a conduct so becoming, and a conversation so compelling – that the world is never the same for having seen it, for having experienced it, and for having heard it.

Now it’s time for us to take over.

For now, you yourself have become an extension of God’s character in our own sphere of influence, so start influencing.

Imagine the impact upon this planet when the one Jesus of Nazareth becomes increasingly multiplied over and over in the millions of His followers all around the world.

This comes about as you take on the identical mannerisms of Christ and you begin to share them with others.

In the Mighty Matchless Name of Jesus, Amen!
