Journey On

The Lord's speaking through the ministry of the word has impressed me so much these days. From the life of Jacob, a supplanter, who eventually was dealt with, broken, transformed and matured to be become Israel, the prince of God, a man who blessed and blessed, the Lord infused into me the burden for journeying on in my Christian in the church life. 

In fact, I may not be "Israel" as yet, or perhaps, I may be in the midst of being dealt with or learning to be broken, I must in no way be discouraged at my situation. I rather must focus on the goal God has set for me, to be ultimately be matured for and according to His divine purpose.

If I were to look at myself or introspect, I could mostly see my failures, shortcomings and even sinnings, in many aspects. However, the sufficient grace of the Lord keeps me going on, in spite of all the odds on my uphill journey of life, even as a walking in the valley of the shadow of death. Trusting in the Lord's grace, I must journey on and on...from Shechem to Bethel, and onto Hebron; from one degree of the experience of God to a higher degree, from individual to corporate and even unto a full fellowship with the Lord with fellow members in the Body of Christ. This is the driving "engine" in my Christian life, the grace of God to journey on and on.

The prophesying of the saints on the Lord's day meeting was full of life-giving encouragement for me. Many saints who prophesied were on "journeying on" from stage to stage. I received so much supply from the saints' prophesying; it supplied life to me and encouraged me to journey on. Hallelujah!
