God’s Town Crier

 ”Oyez!” “Oyez!”

There is a pattern here,

come one, come all , and lend an ear.

The mother Zebra to her newborn

turns her back

and by these means

she imprints.

The stripes.

For days this will happen

’til the babe

has got the pattern.

Always thereafter

he will follow.

Never losing his way.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole; and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. Numbers 21: 8 (KJV)

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53: 5. ( KJV)

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up; That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  John 3:14-16. (KJV)

As you look up at Jesus

hanging

on the cross

for you.

Look upon His stripes

and live.

Imprint on your mind this pattern

these bands

taken for you.

You will never

lose your way

If you do.

“Oyez!” “Oyez!”

“Oyez!” “Oyez!” “Oyez!”

The king goes forth this day

He would see His people face to face.

People need the Lord

living as they do

in discord.

Nothing and nobody can take His place

To bring peace to the human race.

Matthew 28: 18-20.(KJV)

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,

 ”All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Ghost;

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.”

“Oyez!” “Oyez!’ “Oyez!”

Journeyman n. qualified artisan, paid by the day;

hireling, hired workman.

Hireling n. one who serves for wages (usually in contempt)

Contempt n. scorn, disgrace, disdain.

“Hear ye, Hear ye, Hear ye.”

God is not a man that He should lie

Jesus became a man so to die.

His journey began

 With the sin of man.

His course was set

He had right of passage.

He traversed this earth

To destroy the curse,

so we could progress to the second birth.

Qualified artisan…

came to serve.

His wage?

Your sin.

For you He took contempt

was scorned and treated with distain.

In their eyes His worth…

 thirty pieces of silver.

He went the route

to Golgotha’s hill,

for you His blood to spill.

He understands what you are going through

He ever lives to make intercession for you

as you  journey.

“Oyez!”

“Oyez!” “Oyez!” “Oyez!”

On this fine day the King declares….

“The just shall live by faith.”

Look not at the world and the things you see go wrong. Look away, look away to your God!

You ask: “How can God allow justice to be perverted?”

“How can He ignore the plight of His people?”

“Why doesn’t He do something?”

“Does He care?”

He comes to chastise the nations and to save His own people.

Habakkuk 3:17-19. (NIV)

Though the fig tree does not bud

and there are no grapes on the vines,

though the olive crop fails

and the fields produce no food,

though there are no sheep in the pen

and no cattle in the stalls,

yet I will rejoice in the LORD,

I will be joyful in God my Savior.

The Sovereign LORD is my strength;

he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,

he enables me to go on the heights.

The Apostle Paul said: “None of these things move me.”

He stood firm, and ran the race. 

He cared not for earthly things, he only wanted to be loyal to Jesus Christ.

Be encouraged.

Exodus 32: 26.(NCV)

So Moses stood at the entrance to the camp and said,

“Let anyone who wants to follow the LORD come to me.”

Today the King of kings would say:

“Let anyone who wants to follow Me, come to Me.”

Speak to Him then, for He hears,

And spirit with spirit can meet;

Closer is He than breathing,

And nearer than hands or feet.

Tennyson.

“Oyez!” “Oyez!”

“Oyez!” “Oyez!” “Oyez!

“I am straightly commanded to let it be known to all persons here gathered…

That the King listens to your words!

Malachi 3: 16, 17. (KJV)

Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another:  and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and thought upon his name.

And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. (KJV)

Are you speaking often to one another of the Lord… this is happy talk.

1 Thessalonians 4: 18.(KJV)

“Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”

 Proverbs 16: 24.(KJV)

“Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.”

Psalm 19: 14.(KJV)

“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditations of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

You get your name in God’s book!

 When someone dies, you can pay to have their name written in the Book of Days at the cemetery, then every year on the anniversary of their passing, you can go and view  the page. It’s a way of remembering them. Some people pay a lot of money to have fancy scroll work  and lettering used, with flowery words, it is good to read  about that  loved one and be reminded of their love for you.

So it is with God.

He likes to read the words written about you….

He has them all down , and they remind Him of your love for Him!

He loves you so much that you will become a precious jewel to be made up.

“Oyez!” “Oyez!”
