Symbol of Strength






[Solomon, the wisest man in the world] set up the two pillars at the entrance of the Temple, one to the south of the entrance and the other to the north. He named the one on the south Jakin, and the one on the north Boaz. 2 Chronicles 3:17.

The Jachin pillar (meaning (Yah) God establishes)
The Boaz pillar (meaning strength)

What do you have protecting and watching over
you and yours?
What do you have symbolizing your hope and trust?

Morning Star

…a bright star that outshines others…

Something is coming soon…
Something is dawning…
Something is on the rise…

…Be ready
…Look for it
…Prepare for it


"I, Jesus…. am the … the bright Morning Star." Revelation 22:16

Dwell Richly

 


Colossian 3:16 - Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.

Feed – First, take the Word as your daily food to nourish you each morning. You can do this very effectively by reading or praying over two or three Bible verses with spontaneous prayers of thanksgiving, praise, or petition.

Read – Spend regular, daily times to read through the Bible. It is good to read through the books of the New and Old Testament consecutively, according to a schedule. www.Youversion.com has been a useful tool to keep me on track.

Sing - Sing the Word as the psalmists and early believers did.  You can sing hymns full of Scriptures or turn the verse you’re enjoying to song. Try the Joy fm, spirit fm, Youtube, Pandora, or looking up songs from this past Sunday at church.

Speak – Find some like-minded companions today with whom you can speak the World–mutually teaching and admonishing one another.

Repeat – The verse says to “let the message of Christ dwell… richly…”  this means: in abundance, doing it often, acquire it, invest it.  The message stays and takes root and makes a difference.
