God’s Town Crier

“Oyez!” “Oyez!”

Is anyone of you in trouble?  He should pray.  James ch 5:13. (NIV)

In life’s pressures, responsibilities, cares and moments of crisis; you can have ‘rest’ in the security of God’s will.

Be still, and know that I am God;

I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth.  Psalm 46: 10. (NIV)

Live in God’s rest.

Be calmed in His presence.

He will help.

Is anyone happy?  Let him sing songs of praise.  James ch 5:13. (NIV)

Sing praises to God, sing praises;

Sing praises to our King, sing praises.

For God is the King of all the earth;

sing to him a psalm of praise.

God reigns over the nations;

God is seated on his holy throne.  Psalm 47: 7,8. (NIV)

Either way it is a win win situation!

When in trouble, pray! 

 God will answer. 

He is exalted.

After prayer, you know He has heard your requests… if you ask according to His will.

When happy, sing songs of praise!

God is on His throne.  He overrules situations to serve His own purpose.

What a relief!

Trust Him.

Be reassured.

Is anything to hard for God?

Prayer & Praise is all you need,

remember them as your twins,

you’ll never fail

who dares wins!

“Oyez!” “Oyez!”

“Oyez!” “Oyez!” “Oyez!”

“Life is before you. You can only live it once.”

Love is the Summum bonum ( supreme good.)

God’s word is a lamp to your feet. It shines out in the darkness…

guiding you!

“Love suffereth long, and is kind;

Love envieth not;

Love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

Doth not behave itself unseemly,

Seeketh not her own,

Is not easily provoked,

Thinketh no evil;

Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all

things, endureth all things.”

Read the entire chapter of 1 Cor 13 for more on God’s kind of Love!

The Apostle Peter said, “Above all things have fervent love among yourselves.”

John goes farther, “God is love!”

Paul said,”Love is the fulfilling of the law.”

Man has always tried to work his passage to heaven by keeping the law.

Christ said, “I will show you a more simple way, if you love, you will unconsciously fulfil the whole law.”

Jesus Christ’s one secret of the Christian life!

Be filled with God’s Spirit and reflect the love of God to the world.

God’s love is the universal language.

It could take you years to learn another language, but the language of love is understood by all.

In the heart of Africa, among the great Lakes, African men and women remembered David Livingstone. They remembered the kind Doctor who passed there, they could not understand him; but they felt the love that beat in his heart.

“Now abideth faith, hope, love, but the greatest of these is love.”

Summum bonum.

“Oyez!” “Oyez!”

“Oyez!” “Oyez!’ “Oyez!”

“ARISE, shine; for thy light is come,

and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 

 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,

 and gross darkness the people:

but the LORD shall arise upon thee,

 and his glory shall be seen upon thee.” (Isaiah 60: 1,2. KJV.)

AMERICA

The King would say to you.

Arise, shine, for thy light is come, and the Glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. Now is the day of salvation. Call upon the name of the LORD and you shall be saved. Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess, that Jesus Christ is LORD to the Glory of God!’

“The strength of a nation lies in the homes of its people.”  Abraham Lincoln.

“Return to me ,says the LORD of Hosts, train up your children in the way they should go, and when they are older they shall not depart from it.”

Barack Obama

 ”My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.”

( Proverbs 3:1- 10.KJV.)

“Oyez!” “Oyez!”

“Oyez!” “Oyez!” “Oyez!”

“The King stands by His Word.

All else will pass away, but His Word will remain…

You can stake your life on it. 1 Peter 1:25 (NIV)

“Hear this all you people, listen, my mouth will speak words of wisdom.

The utterance from my heart will give understanding.”

“Abraham Lincoln was a King’s man.”

He had courage and patience. A sense of humour. Was not biased.

He was a ‘peacemaker’.

A unique figure in American history.

“Barack Obama is a King’s man.”

Ecclesiastes 3:1.

There is a time for everything.

There’s a time for everything that is done on earth.(NIrV)

Sir Winston Churchill said: “There comes a special moment in everyone’s life, a moment for which that person was born. That special opportunity, when he seizes it, will fulfill his mission- a mission for which he is uniquely qualified. In that moment he finds greatness. It is his finest hour.”

Dr. Peter Marshall, Chaplain of the United States Senate in the 1940’s, believed passionately in America’s God-appointed destiny.

He prayed: “Our Father in Heaven, give us the long view of our work and our world.

Help us to see that it is better to fail in a cause that will ultimately succeed than to succeed in a cause that will ultimately fail….

May Thy will be done here, and may Thy programmes be carried out, above party and personality, beyond time and circumstances, for the good of America and the peace of the world. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”

President Abraham Lincoln’s Second inaugural address on March 4th 1865.

“With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan…to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.”

 ”Now listen!”

“ What Abraham Lincoln started, Barack Obama will finish!”

To the Glory of God.

“Oyez!” “Oyez!” “Oyez!”

“Welcome one and all, it’s time to respond to the call.”

God’s got your number! He knows where you live, what groups you belong to, the ministry for you.

Numbers Ch 1: 2.

“You and Aaron must count all the people of Israel by families and family groups, listing the name of each man.” (NCV)

Numbers 2: 1,2.

The LORD said to Moses and Aaron: “The Israelites should make their camps around the Meeting Tent, but they should not camp too close to it. They should camp under their family flag and banners.” (NCV)

Then God proceeds to number all of the people, and the jobs they are best suited to! 

So it was in Moses day.

 In Jesus day we fall into 1 of 2 groups!

Sheep or Goats!

Matthew 25: 31-46. Tells you all about it.

 I pray that you will decide to follow Jesus and be numbered with the sheep!

 I am ’shouting’ this in obedience to the King. He doesn’t want anyone to perish.

“Oyez!” “Oyez!”

“Oyez!” “Oyez!” “Oyez!”

This day your King announces:

“Look to Him the Holy One, seek help from the LORD.”

Isaiah 31:5.

Like birds hovering overhead, the LORD Almighty will shield Jerusalem; he will shield it and deliver it, he will ‘pass over’ it and will rescue it. (NIV)

Just as birds have their piece of land called territories, so God has His people who are His!

In Him is somewhere to live, move and have your being!

Birds sing to send a message: “It’s my garden!” They are territorial.

God says He will hover over you, to shield and deliver you! He will ‘pass over’ you, like a bird that swoops down to run off enemies from his territory.

You can rely on Him.

Male Robins sing loudly from a high perch so that they can be heard a long way off!

They are warning other Robins ‘this is mine!’

So your  God and King sings over you!

Zephaniah 3: 17.

“The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save.

He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love,

he will rejoice over you with singing.” (NIV)

“Oyez!” “Oyez!”

“Oyez!” “Oyez!” “Oyez!”

“I Jennifer Chattaway, God’s town crier of His noble word, do bid welcome to one and all to this domain.”

“And on this day in the year of our Lord 2009,  I do proclaim:

You can call on the Name of the Lord!”

Psalm 8: 1.

O LORD our lord, how exellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. (KJV)

“How wide; generous is His Name!

Great; magnificent is His Name!

Exellent and famous, gallant and glorious!

Goodly, lordly, mighty, noble, principle, worthy!

Safe, and strong: able to defend!”

“Hallelujah! Hallelujah!”

Psalm 105; 1-4.

O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people

Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.

Glory ye in his holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore. (KJV)

“How I long for a little ordinary human enthusiasm. Vast enthusiasm…. that’s all. I want to hear a warm, thrilling voice cry out  Hallelujah! Hallelujah! I’m alive!”  ( John Osborne.)

“Oyez!” “Oyez!”

“Oyez!” “Oyez!” “Oyez!”

Now Listen! God Hears You!

This day you said in your heart: “That’s o.k. for them, that was a word to the Israelites, not for me, I need to hear from God for me!”

It was for you!

All of God’s word is for you.

2 Timothy3: 16,17.

All scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be throughly equipped for every good work. ( NIV)

 The word He spoke yesterday about Abraham and His call to him, and his provision to come….applies to you Abraham’s descendant.

Galations3: 6-9.

Consider Abraham: “He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” Understand, then, that those who believe are children of Abraham. The scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abaham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. (NIV)

This day God gives you this word:

Psalm 105: 1-11. Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done. Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts. Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judments he pronounced, Oh descendants of Abraham his servant, O sons of Jacob, his chosen ones. He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth. He remembers his covenant forever, the word he commanded, for a thousand generations, the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac. He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant: “To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion you will inherit.” (NIV)

“Oyez!” “Oyez!”
