I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much
I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy
Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...
wow..2 nites in Sis Elaine's Cook mtg caused me to feel so excited abt the Word! wat she taught, the msg she had are very like wat Pst Bailey has taught, but she is much clearer, i think in the sense, she explained much more... and she also combined something i read before from difft authors and put them togther..it is like...wow..i reali do not how to describe.. but reali their msg are the same - that is go on to perfection! one cant keep staying on the salvation level and not go on.. Christian life is a progressive walk! wat is perfection? the defintion of it is to be "whole","complete" and "mature". obviously, it is not something unattainable, if not the Lord would not have want us to reach there. "Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, of the doctrine, of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgement. And this will do if God permits." Heb 6:1-3 i think the last verse was wat makes my heart burned. God has to permit us to go on..that is to say, God does not allow some to move on? this will nd 2 hands to clap. one may not be open toward this idea.. and thus not wanting to move on, the Lord will allow that person not to move on. so, this is a matter of desire.
on the first nite, wat seemed to excite me is the going on to perfection..i have heard b4, but i feel so amazed at the teachings. ok, i think im repeating myself..she is so clear! and her revelation was..*thumb up* and yesterday wat excite me was the coming of the Feast of Tabernacles. the last feast of the Lord which we are going to consummate... the Lord Jesus coming back, full of His glory and the harvest that's coming in! but wat excite me most abt the Tabernacle was that our body, soul, spirit will be in union with the Lord.. and we will be unison.. and thats where the laws of God will be written in hearts of flesh, not stone. wah.. i never seen it in that way b4... i was so excited abt wat i've heard.
a summary of wat was taught abt the Feasts of the Lord: the feast of Passover: signifies our receiving of the Lord Jesus - salvation. the seed that is planted in our hearts. we receive the Holy Spirit. our spirit is made alive which was once dead. Passover's sacrifice must not have any leaven - no corruption or sin or malice beacuse Jesus has no such things in His life. nor does it contain honey which speaks of goodness coz it is not our goodness that saves us but wat the Lord has done on the cross.
the feast of Pentecost: the baptism of the Holy Spirit, giving us power to die to ourselves, deals with our soul life, the sin nature. it is also the power to witness. the seed that is watered. we will have the 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit manifesting(2 cor). however, this feast does not deal with our sinful nature coz this feast's sacrifice does contain leaven. we yield ourselves over to the Holy Spirit. again, this is not the fullness of God that many thought is coz it does not deal with our sinful nature! it is merely a little foretaste of wat is going to come. a downpayment of the redemption of our inheritance. a process of redeeming of our soul.
the feast of Tabernacles: the maturing of His sons and daughters.the seed matured. maturing doesnt just get gifts from the Lord, but we will have the 7 spirits of the Lord (Isa 11:2) - the fullness of God. gifts do not change our nature at all. this is also the place where the ark of covenant is, God's glory will come, a place when the ministers cant minister anymore coz of the glory of God, but the Lord Himeslf cmg to minister! this feast deals with our bodies. our soul, spirit so yielded to the Lord, that our bodies will be in control by the soul and spirit = union with the Lord in spirit, soul and body! we will no longer face the struggle with ourselves of "wat i want to do, i do not do, but wat i do not want to do, i do" as faced by the apostle Paul before.
that's more actuali. but i guess that summarised most of them..haha... so lets go on to Perfection! i wanna go on to the Beauty of Perfection, God's preferred dewelling - Mt Zion!
