Communions With Christ

By Author Sharon Ellis

This is a true story. An Archangel of the Lord appears to an unsuspecting housewife who had never been to church or read the Bible a day in her life. In doing the work of his Maker, God’s angel prepares the spirit of this biblically ignorant woman for what is soon to come. Then, Christ Jesus appears!

For more information on Sharon's books "Seeing The Liberty" and "Communions With Christ" visit Sharon at her new site The Kingdom Of God In Earth.

Jesus Christ - The King Of Kings

Lamentations 4:1-22 
No human king can even begin to compare with our Lord Jesus Christ, ‘the King of kings’(Revelation 19:16). The people of Jerusalem were full of confidence. They ‘trusted their king to protect them from every invader’. They thought Jerusalem was invincible: ‘No one anywhere, not even rulers of foreign nations, believed that any invader could enter Jerusalem’s gates’. They were wrong. They thought it would never happen - but it did! The unthinkable happened! ‘They captured the source of our life, the king the Lord had chosen’. Why did it happen? God’s Word gives us the reason: ‘It happened because of the sins of her prophets and... priests’. The king - ‘the Lord’s anointed’- was unable to prevent Jerusalem’s defeat (12-13,20). Praise God - We have a greater King: our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ! 

Lamentations 5:1-22 
‘You, O Lord, reign for ever; Your throne endures from generation to generation’. We must remember this when we feel like we have been ‘forgotten’ by God. When we feel like God has ‘abandoned’ us, we must remember this: ‘You, O Lord, are King for ever, and will rule to the end of time’(19-20). We are not only to pay lip-service to the Lord our King. We are to crown Him as King of our heart and life. How are we to do this? We must pray, ‘Bring us back to You, Lord!’(21). God is looking for a real return to Him and a real difference in our lives. ‘In your hearts enthrone Him. There let Him subdue all that is not holy, all that is not true...’; ‘So let us learn how to serve and in our lives enthrone Him, each other’s needs to prefer, for it is Christ we’re serving’(Church Hymnary, 300; Mission Praise, 162).

Work For God.

"Why is everyone saying it is not the right time for rebuilding My Temple?” asks the Lord’. His reply to them is this: ‘Is it then the right time for you to live in luxurious homes, when the Temple lies in ruins?’(Haggai 1:2-4). God’s people had forgotten about God. They were pleasing themselves - but they were not pleasing God!

God is challenging us to think about our way of living - ‘Consider your way of life’ (Haggai 1:5, 7).
We are to ‘obey the voice of the Lord our God’. We are to change our way of thinking - ‘the people feared the Lord’ - and living - ‘They came and began work on the House of the Lord Almighty, their God’. Let us obey God’s voice. Let us trust in His promise - ‘I am with you’ (Haggai 1:12-14).

‘
“Be strong, all you people of the land”, declares the Lord, “and work. For I am with you”, declares the Lord Almighty’ (Haggai 2:4). We are to work for God. When we commit ourselves to serving Him, the Lord promises His blessing: ‘From this day on I will bless you’ (Haggai 2:19). To His faithful servants, God promises great blessing: ‘I will fill this House with glory’ (Haggai 2:7).

"Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that, in the Lord, your labour is not in vain’ (1 Corinthians 15:58". "Who is on the Lord’s side? Who will serve the King? ... We are on the Lord’s side, Saviour, we are Thine ... Always on the Lord’s side, Saviour, always Thine".

Living In The River Of God

The river of God is flowing and it is filled with good things, even heavenly things.

May we all jump into the river of God, flow with the currents of God, and simply let God be God in our lives.

In His Glorious Name Ministries Online

Personal Photos

I was recently asked why there are no personal photos of family on our ministry blogs. I have considered placing photography of that sort up, and we do have a Online Family Blog spot.

The reason why I have refrained from such is because as I look at the many online ministry sites I find more Glory being given to men, teachers, ministries, the we's and us's, than I do to Christ, the Kingdom of God or His Word. Whereas many times I personally feel that the Kingdom of God, and the word of God is more so used to exhalt men, their ministries and to build ministries. But that's my personal opinion.

Therefore, I determined long ago to seek to do all things to the Glory of God, share the love of Christ, His Redeeming Passion, Encouragement, the Word of God, and simply refrain from taking the Glory.

That's also why the ministry is named To His Glorious Name Ministries. Because truly it's all about Christ.
