When we think of Christ, what comes to mind? In Him we see the purpose of God outlined. God is not in some distance, but one close, one in fellowship with the brethren, equipped with humanity and yet not restricted in glorious intervention.
We see God fending for human souls but also for human bodily needs. Then we are reminded that all there is is not worldly cares but spirituality. Then God performs the oath of love in sacrifice, which births resurrection power, and allows for the opportunity of reunion. Reunion with His team of believers with a charge and authority to demonstrate His love in the preaching of the faith. Reunion by the outpouring of the Spirit bearing witness of His constant presence, an open heaven to constantly have the voice of God leading and having His seal of approval.
The promise of eternity with Him brings us to the hope of being with Him, so we can say truly where He is we are always. Reunion brings Him to be with us now, eternity assures us of being with Him when out of this body. Like the Apostles we can say in body with the Lord, out of body with the Lord. Let this be our goal (see 2 Corinthians 5:8-9).
Isn’t God all encompassing?
I pray our fellowship with the Lord deepens as we together as saints join in praise to the one who is all worthy.
God bless.
Evangelist Israel Okunwaye
