TRUE WISDOM. PROVERBS 1:7

The life that is identified with Christ will be a life of sufficiency and fullness and victory. While it must not be confused with a life of emotion or of feelings, it is a life filled with “all joy and peace in believing.” We must learn not to live in our feelings, for these are often misleading. The Lord Jesus said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32; italics added).

The experience of a great pioneer of modern missions, J. Hudson Taylor, greatly illuminates this reality. After months of agony and struggle to realize more life, holiness, and power in his soul, he came in final and utter self-despair to “rest upon the Faithful One.”

In a letter to his sister he said in part: The sweetest part, if one may speak of one part being more sweet than another, is the rest which full identification with Christ brings. I am no longer anxious about anything … for He, I know, is able to carry out His will and His will is mine. It makes no matter where He places me or how. That is rather for Him to consider than for me. For the easiest positions He must give me grace, and in the most difficult, His grace is sufficient.

So, if God places me in great perplexity, must He not give me much guidance; in positions of great difficulty, much grace; in circumstances of great pressure and trial, much strength? … As to work, mine was never so plentiful, so responsible, or so difficult; but the weight and strain are all gone. His resources are mine, for He is mine … all this springs from the believer’s oneness with Christ.

Though I be nothing! I accept

The uttermost Thou givest,

One life alone between us now,

One life—the life Thou livest. —LUCY A. BENNETT

When the Lord is with us all will change. The disciples went from zero fish to breaking nets in one simple command.
May the Lord encourage you to seek the Lord and serve Him today!

"Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing" (John 21:3).

This week's radio program is on The Saviour's Joy in Enduring the Cross. This is the real reason we can rejoice in the Lord this Easter.

"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God" Heb 12

Welcome to this week's program: When Life Loses its Cutting Edge

Christians must realise that the power to bless is not in their own hands. It is the Lord’s prerogative to pour out blessing as He will, according to His good pleasure. Yet, He gives us many promises and assurances that what is done according to His will, for His glory, through the grace that is in His Son, He will definitely bless. God uses His own people to do His work to build His own church here on earth.

Preachers are to be men who are called, separated unto the gospel and willing to spend and be spent to declare the gospel in all its fullness, no matter the personal cost. They are to study the Word and live in the power of the Holy Spirit in order to preach in the power of the Spirit, not in the deadness of the letter.

In this account of the lost axe that fell into the water, we learn that only God can give us the cutting edge that we need to be effective evangelists. As you listen to this Old Testament message centred on the ministry of Elisha, pray for the restoration of the Spirit’s cutting edge in your soul that you may be a faithful witness for your Lord, as you live for Him.

"But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed" (2 Kings 6:5).

A Mother Sees Her Son Raised to Life.

This lady impressed Elisha tremendously for all the right reasons. She was great for godliness as a wife, and greatly demonstrated the grace and power of God in her life.

We would tremble if asked if we stood out for God as clearly as this lady. There is a great deal of normality about her as a wife and a mother, but her testimony stood ten feet tall with Elisha, as she became a chosen vessel to glorify God.

Through the sudden death of her son, after coming in from the farm complaining of severe headaches, this woman sent for the prophet Elisha, God’s prophet, and her faith was wonderfully rewarded in the resurrection of her son. We learn that simple, but genuine, faith in the Lord is never misplaced. It will always bring comfort, hope and help in our times of need.

Listen in today and pray for your faith to be strengthened through the testimony of this great woman.

"And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread..." (2 Kings 4:8).

At the close of today’s program we will have another clip on five minutes of righteousness on, Why I hate alcohol? Think about it, If no alcohol was consumed in Canada, 50% of the hospital capacity wouldn’t be needed. Yes, the chief reason that ER’s and addiction clinics are filled to capacity is alcohol. It would also change policing demands in all our communities for there would fewer domestic problems, fewer road accidents resulting deaths caused by drivers under the influence.

While smoking is now considered a dirty habit in mainstream society, alcohol is still the respectable drug, even among the elite. Liquor is welcomed in most social circles and the tee-totaller is laughed at.
There’s a reason that the liquor stores stayed open during the recent covid-pandemic. Canadians couldn’t live without their booze for Canada is among the highest alcohol consuming nations in the world.
Praise God there are many stories of victory over alcohol. This week I heard of a man who after his conversion to Christ, immediately emptied his alcohol down the kitchen sink! His heart was renewed and he was determined to live as a servant of Christ and not as a slave to liquor.
What a change the gospel of Christ makes in a sinner’s heart. Converts truly have a new life because they are new creatures. When sinners are saved by the power of the gospel, old things pass away and all things become new. In today’s Bible message from 2 Kings chapter four, we will learn of the Lord's power enabling us to live a new life in the liberty of the gospel. Take the time to listen. This message could be for you!

"And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed" (2Kings 4:6).

Modern psychology may be good at addressing the symptoms of people’s problems, but so often it misses the source and so at best short term fixes are offered. Such counsel addresses habits, patterns of failure and keeps clients on a roller coaster of trying different things that always fail.

The gospel of Christ goes to the heart of the matter, which is our hearts. Without a new heart the human condition is doomed. With a new heart all things are possible even to dwell with God in heaven.

Todays’ Bible program addresses this great need. Elisha goes to the source of the curse upon the lands around Jericho. There is an appeal to sinners to go to Christ, the Saviour, to receive a new heart - a new nature that will change you from the inside out.

Enjoy listening today.

Prophetic Markers in the book of Daniel.

Nothing builds up our confidence in God’s promises more than fulfilled prophecy. There are a number of specific prophecies in Daniel chapter 9 that have been fulfilled to the letter with great clarity to the reader of the Bible today. It is easy to get a hold of these prophecies now that they are fulfilled and they thrill our souls that such insights were given to God’s prophet, Daniel, 500 years before their fulfillment.

When asked for evidence that the Bible is true, the answer is, “The Jews”. God’s dealing with the Jews both in blessing and in judgment proves the veracity of the Word of God.

May the Lord speak to your heart through this second message, on this theme of fulfilled prophecy. Take it to heart that you can rest the welfare of your soul on the authority and faithfulness of God in His Word.

Thanks for reading and listening! This post is public so feel free to share it.
