At the altar, our destiny is altered

At the altar, our destiny is altered...

Reference- Job 37:23-24 MSG

“Mighty God! Far beyond our reach!
    Unsurpassable in Power and Justice!
    It’s unthinkable that HE would treat anyone unfairly.
So bow to HIM in deep reverence, one and all!
    If you’re wise, you’ll most certainly worship HIM.”

God is unfolding His story in His own way.

The Sovereign and Supreme Ruler is in control of everyone, everything, and everywhere, and the accuser must seek His permission before acting against us. He sees us as His own, and we belong to Him just as He belongs to us. As Job said, God can do all things, and no purpose of His can be stopped (42:2).

The Just and Righteous Judge – Our God is fundamentally just, and it’s unthinkable that He would treat anyone unfairly. His rule and governance are righteous, even if at times our eyes, ears, and hearts may not fully understand.

The source of all wisdom and revelation is God, whose knowledge is complete unlike human understanding. The Bible teaches that true wisdom and understanding come from Elohim. The fear of the Lord is wisdom, and turning away from evil is understanding (28:28). 

The Sovereign who tests and refines- God sometimes allows testing—not out of cruelty, but for a set time and with a purpose. Every trouble has an expiry date, and in the end, these challenges or trials will ultimately lead to praise or a deeper faith.

But He knows where I am and what I’ve done. He can cross-examine me all He wants, and I’ll pass the test with honours. I’ve followed Him closely, my feet in His footprints (23:10)

It’s all about refining, not destroying. This leads to greater, wider, higher, and deeper blessings, along with a more profound knowledge of God. Blessed is the one who remains steadfast under trial. When we have stood the test, we will receive the crown of life! Amen.

The God of Grace and Restoration—Job is the perfect example of gaining and losing according to His purpose. He said, “The Lord gave, the Lord has taken away” (1:21). So, what remains is simply, “Blessed be the Name of the Lord.” The Lord will never allow certain things to disrupt our purpose-filled destiny.

The altar of surrender alters the trajectory of our faith. 

He will restore us from all losses. His nickname is the Provider of Double for the Trouble. God blessed Job with twice as much as he had before.

Ps 103:1-2 - NIV - Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise His Holy Name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all His benefits.

Dear Father, You are the Sovereign King, the Righteous Judge, the only Wise God, the Refiner of the Faith, and the Gracious Restorer. We lay our lives at the altar, admiring Your greatness, power, authority, and loving-kindness. We give You honour and praise. Worthy are You, our Lord; righteous are You, O Lord. When I reflect on the times we have been tested, I rejoice, for they result in transformation and bring forth golden opportunities. We bless Your name continually. You have revealed Yourself to us by helping us find You. You have helped us in impossible situations—splitting the sea, drying up the river, making walls fall, healing every kind of sickness (nothing escapes You), removing all types of curses, and strengthening our weaknesses. We bow to You in deep reverence. Let Your will be done in our lives as it is in Heaven. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.


Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London

Efforts that counts...

Efforts that counts... Reference- 2 Ch 17  Context: King Jehoshaphat was a seeker and follower of the God of his father and was obedient to HIM; he wasn’t like Israel (at that time, Ahab was ruling Israel). And God secured the kingdom under his rule, gave him a firm grip on it. And everyone in Judah showed their appreciation by bringing gifts. Jehoshaphat ended up very rich and much honoured. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone - Apostle James in 2:17 Efforts that showed his intention to Seek and Keep Him: Sticking to the ways of Asa (his godly father). Rejecting Baal — non-conformity to the ungodly culture. Removing high places and Asherah poles. This is personal reformation — the king putting his own house in order spiritually. Efforts that enabled others to Seek and Keep Him: Building defences — not just military, but spiritual covering. Sending teachers throughout Judah with the “Book of the Revelation of God” (likely the Torah or existing OT Scriptures). ...

All this time.

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London - 17Jan25 All this time. Our God is the Strategic God. He knows everything. He is Alpha and Omega. The knows the end even before it begins. HE is ELOHIM but also ELROI.  Exodus 14:19 CEVUK - All this time God's angel had gone ahead of Israel's army, but now he moved behind them. A large cloud had also gone ahead of them.  This scripture shares the evidence that The Lord has not only conditioned the wilderness to Israelites to the journey from Egypt to Cannon but also strategically performed special and soecific things in favour of them. The LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light. When the cloud moved, people followed it, and whenever it stopped, they stayed and camped there.  When they reached to the Red sea and went through the miracle passage of the dry land in the midst of the Sea, the angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, remov...
