Holy Convocation - 2008
By Thulung | December 30, 2008
We had a blessed time in the Word of God during the time of Holy Convocation this year. The theme for this year’s Holy Convocation which was held from 24th of December to 28th of December 2008, was “The Comming of the Lord.” Yes, beloved the Lord is coming soon only those who believe and are ready for His second appearing will be the ones who will be caught up to meet him in the air, to be with Him our God, our Father, our Creator and the Saviour of the world the Lord Jesus Christ.
We, first of all as an individual are to prepare for His coming, then when we are ready and have that testimony then will we be able to prepare our household and then through our both personal and family life and testimony be able to encourage the Church of God which His is building from heaven by the power of His Holy Ghost, to prepare for His glorious appearing.
We did mediate concerning Israel, God’s chosen nation. Nation chosen by God to be a peculiar people, to show forth the glory of God. Instead they disobeyed God’s order and commandments. Not only did they disobey God’s Word, but as a nation, they did also reject the Lord’s Christ, The Messiah, The Christ, God’s Anointed King. And as a result they scattered through out the world without its own nation/state, to which they could call home.
But, in the fullness of time God, who cannot lie and God who is a covenant keeping God, who made covenant with David, that his seed will sit on the throne of Israel, despite of Israel’s failure to obey God’s commandments, He brought the Jews back to Israel after many generations. In May 14th, 1948 God gave Israel their homeland in the midst of their enemies. Since, then Israel has gone through many wars and troubles, yet Israel has survived, not because of their backing from US or the Jews all over the world or guns or bombs. But, only because of God’s promise and covenant that He made with king David. So, whosoever toucheth Israel is touching God’s purpose. Whosever divides Israel is dividing God’s land.
Same applies to the Church of God, is the kingdom of God, which He is building from heaven, whosoever toucheth or divides God’s Church is touching God’s eternal purpose, for which He died of the cross, to deliver us from our sins and gives us His life to manifest His glory of His grace in and through our lives, all the days of our life. Today, the church of God is the Israel of God. “And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.” (Galatians 6:16).
