2016 our year of COMPLETENESS
The biblical number 7 signifies Completion; and this year our Lord has declared to be our year of Completion.
"And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you." Joel 2:25
The Lord has brought us unto completion; and throughout 2016, don't hold back, receive that which God has prepared for you - take a hold of it and enjoy it. The Lord is restoring you this year, bringing you unto completeness.
Job 1:1-5
Job was a man that was blameless and upright. He feared God! With every promise there is a condition (a principle to follow). Job turned away from evil; and so must we this year. You have the right to choose what you want; and the Lord has set a table of completeness before us, therefore, like Job, choose to turn away from evil and enjoy what the Lord has prepared for you.
There are 4 points about Job we can take with us throughout 2016; as the Holy Spirit highlighted this through Aps.(Dr.) Bailey: He is speaking about family. Job follow these 4 points and he found himself blessed by God.
1) He was perfect and upright
2) He feared God
3) He was blameless, staying away from evil
4) He send and sanctified his children
Job was a blessed man; because he feared God and was upright in living, turning away from evil and sanctified his family unto God; he was more blessed than any other in the land.
As the worship team, we are an unit of ministers; leading the brethren and imparting a special unction to the congregation.
"And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for his mercy endureth for ever" (2 Chronicles 20:21). King Jehoshaphat was wise in his doing; for when destruction has marched against them (3 nations / armies); the Lord said unto him: "...Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's" (verse 15); and the Lord instructed him to marched out to where they were camping the next day. The king placed his trust in the Lord; and through divine revelation from the Holy Spirit, he placed the singers at the front lines. This caused God to move mightily before the king and his people, as the Lord has gone before them and swept into the enemy's camp with confusion; causing the 3 armies to turn against each other smite one another.
As the worship team of Christian Life Ministries, let us stand in trust to the Lord this year as our king and queen, Apostle and Pastor Bailey, had placed us at the front line of the people: '...for the battle is not ours, but God's'
You have been brought unto completeness this year - have a successful and prosperous 2016
