Welcome, friends, to another
broadcast of Morsels for Zion's Poor. The sweet consolation of
the sons of God is that he will never leave them to their own
devices, except that he might instruct them, even as he did
with Job and Peter via Satan's sifting. Yet it is unceasing
mercy towards the sons of God that prompts his faithful chastening.
For he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what men shall do unto
me. Let the righteous smite me, it shall be a kindness, and let
him reprove me, it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not
break my head, for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
For a small moment have I forsaken thee, but with great mercies
will I gather thee, In a little wrath I hid my face from thee
for a moment, but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on
thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer. For this is as the waters of
Noah unto me. For as I have sworn that the
waters of Noah should no more go over the earth, so have I
sworn that I would not be wroth with thee nor rebuke thee. For
the mountain shall depart and the hills be removed, but my
kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant
of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee. It cannot be overemphasized that
all of the promises which the sons of God enjoy the fruits
of were first given to Christ. And they enjoy those fruits because
they are chosen in him. Now to Abraham and his seed were
the promises made. He saith not unto seeds as of
many, but as of one, and to thy seed, which is Christ. And if
ye be Christ, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to
the promise. For we are members of his body,
of his flesh, and of his bones. These promises are continual
and cannot be overturned or abandoned because Christ is the Alpha and
the Omega, the beginning and the end. For all the promises
of God in Him are yea and in Him amen, unto the glory of God
by us. Now he which establisheth us
with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God, who also
hath sealed us, and given us the earnest of the Spirit in
our hearts. Wherein God, willing more abundantly
to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel,
confirmed it by an oath. that by two immutable things
in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong
consolation who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope
set before us, which hope we have as an anchor of the soul,
both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within
the veil, whether the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus,
made in high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. It
is pleased Him to send messengers into the earth to proclaim the
glory of His grace, revealed in Jesus Christ unto the vast
regions of the world. For He has a people of every
kindred, tribe, and tongue scattered throughout the earth, and He
will call them all according to the purpose of His grace.
It is He who blesses both the message and the messengers. How
beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth
good tidings, that publisheth peace, that bringeth good tidings
of good, that publisheth salvation, that saith unto Zion, Thy God
reigneth. And how shall they preach, except
they be sent? As it is written, How beautiful
are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring
glad tidings of good things. Jonah learned the hard way that
when a man is sent with this message, he will deliver it,
and all the powers in earth or hell, even the free will of men,
cannot prevent it, nor diminish the purpose of him who sends
it to accomplish that which he determines. We see this clearly
demonstrated in the early days of the New Testament church,
as Peter and other of the apostles declared this message in an unstoppable
fashion. When they were warned to be silent,
they preached still. When they were imprisoned, they
were set free in order that they may proclaim this good news.
When they were threatened with death, they ceased not to magnify
the name of Christ according to the purpose of God. This was
not done in their power, but rather in that of Him that sent
them. Peter declared this purpose on the day of Pentecost, for
the promise is unto you and to your children and to all that
are far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
This is a work which shall be carried out until the end of
the age. I, Jesus, have sent mine angel to testify unto you
these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring
of David, and the bright and morning star. And the Spirit
and the bride say, Come, and let him that heareth say, Come,
and let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take
the water of life freely. Do you hear his voice? For a
