God’s Town Crier

“Oyez!” “Oyez!” “Oyez!”

Come hither, hear what the LORD would say to you today!

Jesus goes before, He is ahead, in advance!

He’s the first in order, He preceded us, and ushered in Salvation, that we might become sons of God.

Through Him taking the lead He shows us the Way.

No more trying to find God on our own.

No more trying to please and placate God on our own.

You don’t have to run around looking for an entrance into the truth.

He is the Way, the Truth, The Life!

You want excitement, you want adventure?

You want Jesus in your heart!

As the King’s messenger I give this ’shout’…

Come join the dance.

Steal a march.

Get before.

Outstrip.

 Be in the van.

Step into this progressive motion.

Advancing; ongoing;

floodtide of people!

You’ll go with the stream.

 You’ll be on course.

 You’ll press onwards.

In strides will you advance!

You’ll be in that band of Christians ever going forward on ‘The Way’.

Enroute for Glory!

The High road!

In transitu.

Come along!

Forward march.

Jesus goes before!

“Oyez!’ “Oyez!”

“Oyez!” “Oyez!” “Oyez!”

“Oyez!” “Oyez!” “Oyez!”

Tarry till I show  thee

Matthew 2:2. (KJV)

Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews?

for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

Matthew 2: 9, 10. (KJV)

When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star,

which they saw in the east, went before them,

till it came and stood over where the young child was.

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

Rejoice, rejoice, and again I say rejoice!

2 Peter 1: 19. (KJV)

“We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed,

as unto a light that shineth in a dark place,

until the day dawn,

and the day star arise in your hearts.

Let Jesus light up your world!

Never mind the morning star of Peter Pan in Neverland!

It’s the day star of Jesus that you need to be heading towards!

Revelation 22: 16. (KJV)

“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.”

Beautiful Star!

Let Him arise in your heart, you will never be the same again!

“Oyez!” “Oyez!”

“Oyez!” “Oyez!” “Oyez!”

“God considered, ( lit., set His heart/mind on.) you!”

2 Samuel14:14. (NIV)

Like water spilled on the ground,

which cannot be recovered,

so we must die.

But God does not take away life;

instead,

he divises ways so that a banished person may not remain estranged from him.

God decided how to handle the matter of reconciliation between Himself and mankind.

In the fulness of time, He sent Jesus!

John 6:47. (KJV)

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.”

God doesn’t write people off!

Look at your own life and see the ways He has devised, so that you may not remain banished from Him!

O, such great love Divine!

There is no hope outside of Christ.

This I know.

I am so grateful for His Sacrifice…

New life to bestow.

How can I live and breathe

the same air He breathed

and not know?

Twas for all, He bled and died,

to bring us to our Father’s side!

‘It is finished’…

was His cry,

your name was there before His eye.

My prayer for you this day will be,

that as you look upon the Lord

you’ll see…

Love so rare and indescribable for thee!

“Oyez!” “Oyez!”

“Oyez!’ “Oyez!” “Oyez!”

Hearken: Dost thou give strength to the Church?

Acts 15:22. (NCV)

“The Apostles, the elders, and the whole church decided to send some of their men with Paul and Barnabas to Antioch. They chose Judas Barsabbas and Silas, who were respected by the believers.

v25.) We have all agreed to choose some messengers and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul- people who have given their lives to serve our Lord Jesus Christ.

v30.) So they left Jerusalem and went to Antioch where they gathered the church and gave them the letter.”

When they read it, they were very happy because of the encouraging message.

Judas and Silas, who were also prophets, said many things to encourage the believers and make them stronger.

It was the whole church who decided to be involved! They supported those who were sent.

Those who were sent had given their lives to serve our Lord Jesus Christ!

Respect comes from leading by example.

The Church; the Body of Christ, is on the brink of a huge revival! Who will send? Who will go?

As the Apostles and Elders, the leaders and the members of the Church Universal do this, then will revival come.

Do what?

2 Chronicles 29: 3- 7. (NCV)

“Hezekiah opened the doors of the Temple of the Lord and repaired them in the first month of the year he was King.

Hezekiah brought in the priests and Levites and gathered them in the courtyard on the east side of the Temple.

Hezekiah said,

‘Listen to me, Levites. Make yourselves ready for the LORD’S service, and make holy the Temple of the LORD, the God of your ancestors.

Remove from the Temple everything that makes it impure. Our ancestors were unfaithful to God and did what the LORD said was wrong. They left the LORD and stopped worshipping at the Temple where he lives. They rejected him. They shut the doors of the porch of the Temple, and they let the fire go out in the lamps. They stopped burning incense and offering, burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel.’ “

The Mandate

v11.) “My sons, don’t waste any more time.

The LORD chose you to stand before him,

to serve him,

to be his servants,

 and to burn incense to him.”

What are you waiting for? Give strength to the Church!!

“Oyez!” “Oyez!”

“Oyez!” “Oyez!” “Oyez!”“Before God and Men”

Proverbs 30: 5. (KJV)

“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.”

In the book ‘The Three Musketeers’,  D′ Artagnan says to M. de Treville : ‘but such a name as yours served me as a shield on my journey; therefore you can guess if I frequently covered myself with it or no!’

We have the Greatest Name ever given to man as our covering!

The Name of Jesus!

He is our shield and protection, nothing can penetrate His name.

2 Samuel 22 :3. (KJV)

“The God of my rock; in him will I trust:

he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation,

my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.”

Then let it be said of you that you looked about for adventures!

Because no man can harm you,

if ye be hid with Christ Jesus in God!

Psalm 5 :12. (KJV)

“For Thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous;

with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.”

Grasp life with both hands, do exploits for God!

What are you waiting for?

Go for it!

Throw caution to the wind, you will never pass this way again!

In God you can do it!

What has he told you to do?

Then do it with all your heart, soul, mind!

Psalm 28 :7. (KJV)

“The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped:

therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;

and with my song will I praise him.”

And it is most rationally to be concluded…

Psalm 119:114. (KJV)

“Thou art my hiding place and my shield:

I hope in thy word.”

“Oyez!” “Oyez!’

“Dost thou seek to know the Way?”

Matthew 27:50,51. (KJV)

Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom;

and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent.

Isaiah 24: 18b. (KJV)

For the windows from on high are open,

and the foundations of the earth do shake.

John 10:9. (KJV)

I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved,

and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

Matthew 7:14.(KJV)

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life,

and few there be that find it.

John 14: 6. (KJV)

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:

no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

“Jesus is the Portal, the way to God, there is no other way!

God has decreed this and sealed it with His word.

It is clearly set out for all to see.

You stand at that Portal, and wish for the door to open…

there is no magic word like ‘Open Sesame!’

The words were spoken by the Lord Jesus Himself…”

“It is finished!”

God Himself holds the key to the Portal…

Revelation 3: 7, 8. (KJV)

These things saith he that is holy, he that is true,

he that hath the key of David,

he that openeth, and no man shutteth;

and shutteth, and no man openeth;

I know thy works: , behold

I have set before thee an open door,

and no man can shut it:

for thou hast a little strength,

and hast kept my word,

and hast not denied my name.

“Would you enter into Eternal life?

Jesus is the Door!”

“Oyez!” “Oyez!”

“Oyez!” “Oyez!” “Oyez!”

Psalm 30.

“Why do you cry? Soon He will dry your eye. (Revelation 21: 4.)

Look for His coming nigh,

the brightness of His Glory…

will shine forth like the sun rising in the morning, then you will say,

in the morning comes joy.

Cry unto Him, the Lord on high,

sing and give thanks, remember all He’s done…

in His favour is life,

weeping may endure for a night,

but joy cometh in the morning.

He is your helper,

in time of need.

There shall be no more death, neither sorrow,

 nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain.

He shall turn your mourning into dancing:

girding you with gladness!

When before Him you stand…

in heavens glory land,

none of this earth’s woes,

will matter any more.

Then shall you sing, and praise His Name

and not be silent…

O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.”

“O, if only they knew what they were really doing!

My King Jesus. Your Blood was your scarlet robe!

It covered Your Holy Body with Glory!

I bow my knee before you.

You are Worthy, Lamb of God.”

Verse 29: And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of The Jews.

“Didn’t they know? Never was a more lovely crown fit for a King! My King! Your King! They crowned Him Lord of all!”

Philippians 2 : 10,11.(KJV)

That at the  name of Jesus, every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Verse 30: And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.

“The more they smote the more perfume arose to the throne of God. He is the Rose of Sharon, the Lily of the Valley.”

Verse 31: And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

Isaiah 63: 1, 2. (KJV)

Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.

Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?

” They changed His garments. Little did they know.!”

“O, THIS is life!”

I stand upon the mount of God

with sunlight in my soul;

I hear the storms in the vales beneath,

I hear the thunders roll.

But I am calm with thee, my God,

Beneath these glorious skies;

And to the height on which I stand,

No storms, nor clouds, can rise.

O, THIS is life! O, this is joy!

My God, to find thee so;

Thy face to see, thy voice to hear,

And all thy love to know.  -Horatius Bonar.

Psalm 36:5-9. (NIV)

Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens,

your faithfulness to the skies.

Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,

Your justice like the great deep.

O LORD, you preserve both man and beast.

How priceless is your unfailing love!

Both high and low among men

find refuge in the shadow of your wings.

They feast on the abundance of your house;

you give them drink from your river of delights.

For with you is the fountain of life;

in  your light we see light.

“Come on up to the Mount! The air is rare, the atmosphere heady!

Don’t muddle around in the vales beneath:

Climb up, climb up…

His face to see, His voice to hear, His love to know!”

“Oyez!” “Oyez!”
