Rev. David Wilkerson's Last Words / Died at the age of 79

Rev. David Wilkerson, founding pastor of Times Square Church in New York City and author of the well-known book The Cross and the Switchblade, was killed Wednesday in a head-on collision in Texas. He was 79.

"It is with deepest of sadness that we have to inform you of the sudden passing of Reverend David Wilkerson, our founding pastor," Times Square Church Senior Pastor Carter Conlon said in a statement on the church website.

Conlon added that details of the family's wishes and a memorial service would be provided as information became available.

Last Words

Wilkerson posted a blog dated April 27 -- the day of his death. In the post, titled "When All Means Fail," he encouraged those facing difficulty to "hold fast" and stand strong in faith.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Do you know that before his death Bro. Wilkerson wrote his final devotion about God's faithfullness in the midst of deathly circumstances and edified the Body of Christ to stay faithful to God without even knowing that God will take him to his Eternal Home even before the day could end. In this matter as the Bible says, even though Bro. Wilkerson is physically dead his final devotional words speaks to the whole world prophetically (Heb 11:4).

"GET RIGHT WITH GOD BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE FOR YOU!" has always been the prophetic thread that went through all his sermons. The following link is a great sermon compilation of David Wilkerson's preaching (Click the following LINK to hear this wonderful preaching that will surely stir your soul to live a Holy Life) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLFhILnSQGQ&feature=relmfu

This following devotion is the last Bro. Wilkerson wrote before he died later that day.

WHEN ALL MEANS FAIL

To believe when all means fail is exceedingly pleasing to God and is most acceptable. Jesus said to Thomas, “You have believed because you have seen, but blessed are those that do believe and have not seen” (John 20:29).

Blessed are those who believe when there is no evidence of an answer to prayer—who trust beyond hope when all means have failed.

Someone has come to the place of hopelessness—the end of hope—the end of all means. A loved one is facing death and doctors give no hope. Death seems inevitable. Hope is gone. The miracle prayed for is not happening.

That is when Satan’s hordes come to attack your mind with fear, anger, overwhelming questions: “Where is your God now? You prayed until you had no tears left. You fasted. You stood on promises. You trusted.”

Blasphemous thoughts will be injected into your mind: “Prayer failed. Faith failed. Don’t quit on God—just do not trust him anymore. It doesn’t pay!”

Even questioning God’s existence will be injected into your mind. These have been the devices of Satan for centuries. Some of the godliest men and women who ever lived were under such demonic attacks.

To those going through the valley and shadow of death, hear this word: Weeping will last through some dark, awful nights—and in that darkness you will soon hear the Father whisper, “I am with you. I cannot tell you why right now, but one day it will all make sense. You will see it was all part of my plan. It was no accident. It was no failure on your part. Hold fast. Let me embrace you in your hour of pain.”

Beloved, God has never failed to act but in goodness and love. When all means fail—his love prevails. Hold fast to your faith. Stand fast in his Word. There is no other hope in this world.

Words in Memory of the Man of God : Rev. David Wilkerson, founding pastor of Times Square Church in New York City

I remember the day my Dad read the Biography of this precious man of God, he got so inspired that a little while later he told me all about it when we met. I was blessed greatly hearing his life story from my Dad. It shows how much God has greatly used this man who has surrendered his entire life for the Lord.

The Bible says, "Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints." (Psa 116:15). It means that God knew the accident of Bro. Wilkerson and allowed the death of the physical body to take place. But it was precious before HIS SIGHT. True the enemy has taken the life out of this man, but it was not an accident to God who is in control of everything.

God has taken him to home because his time is up. He would have never expected to see the Lord so suddenly. He is a prophetic messenger the Lord has appointed and used as HIS MOUTHPIECE. The has taken him out as sudden as the message that he speaks always by God's inspiration. How about us? Are we prepared to meet the Lord suddenly like Bro. Wilkerson. If not we should look to the Lord now and should ask for His Mercies to save us and renew us for eternity.

Hear what the word of God says about humans, "15 As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. 16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, And its place remembers it no more. 17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, and His righteousness to children’s children, 18 To such as keep His covenant, and to those who remember His commandments to do them." (Psa 103:15-18). When a flower blooms, many of us see it with great interest. But when it fades, we do even bother to care about it even for a second. In the same way, when we die suddenly nobody will care to find our names and our history to speak about it. But God has a record for all HIS RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE and he cares for them. God will speak about every work that we have done on earth for Him and will speak about it for eternity to us and before the whole of heaven.

Now we much choose to live for Him who died for us all (2 Cor 5:14-15), so that like Brother Wikerson one day when we suddenly leave this earth unexpectedly or die on the appointed time of God, we might inherit God's reward for eternity ahead. We can be sure that Brother Wilkerson is with the Lord. You can say, how can be so sure about it.

On the authority of the Word of God, I can clearly say that because Brother Wilkerson has believed Jesus as his personal saviour and Lord, lived for JESUS by faith and have worked for Him sacrificially by faith, he will come with those who have died for the past 2000 years in the Lord at the time of the Rapture and will receive a brand new glorious body as the child of the living God (1 Thess 4:14-18). After this, no accident will be able to kill him physically anymore. He will live eternally blessed with Jesus.

Dear Saints, look in to your own life and ask yourself a honest question, "Because Jesus died for me, am I living for Him and Him alone?" If you are living with a worldly mindset and have been involved in spiritual adultery, REPENT TODAY and receive a new empowerment from the Lord to work till death for JESUS CHRIST your true love (Rev 2:10). May the Lord's comfort fill all the family members of Brother Wilkerson and all the Body of Christ and strengthen all. I pray to the Lord of Harvest to raise many more men and women of God to arise like him. If you are ready, you will become one of them whose name will be written like this great general Bro. David Wilkerson in Kingdom of God for eternity. Say YES now to the Lord's voice if God has been stirring you to live for Him and be remembered by God for eternity ahead.

Much Love and Blessings,

Abraham Israel

This is the explanation for the symbol which we hold as the mark for our "Household of Faith Church & World Outreach". On the Ark we see a Bible and a Dove over it. It means as a believer in Christ Jesus, we have become the Ark of God as we have HIS WORD and HIS SPIRIT in our hearts. The other important truth we can derive out of this picture is, when we have HIS WORD and HIS SPIRIT in our hearts, we can easily start to hear the voice of God inside us as Moses heard God speak to him face to face (Lev 1:1; Deut 34:10; Num 12:8; 7:89). We too can speak to JESUS face to face from our spirit-man which is in hidden in the recesses of our being. Finally when we have HIS WORD and HIS SPIRIT in our hearts, God's voice will start to come out of the recesses of our heart and will reach to our mouth, through our mouth many people will start to hear the very voice of God (Jer 20:9; Ezek 3:27; Matt 10:20).

We have become the temple of God in this New Covenant which JESUS instituted and in the innermost recesses of our heart, we carry the ARK OF THE COVENANT.

JESUS lived in the consciousness of carrying the ARK OF THE LORD inside Him (John 2:18-22). JESUS never needed a cathedral or a synagogue to pray to God, wherever He was present, He FREELY PRAYED to God and GOD ANSWERED HIS PRAYERS. You and I must learn to live like this for the GLORY OF GOD!

To All the Spiritual Techies

All us who have been dealing in someway or the other with computers know the famous logo of "Intel Inside" etched over all the big billboards, the computers and IC's [i.e. integrated electronic chips] around the world. Many would have even watched it in advertisement between cricket matches or some other sport games. It does describe the powerful circuits which are integrated in to the electronic boards inside the computer.

There are two main things present in the computer which the Creator's of the computer have designed it to be. One is hardware and the other is software. The hardware is the material part and the software is the immaterial part of the computer. Exactly in the same way, in our life the physical body that we have is the material part, the spirit and soul which we have inside us is the immaterial part designed by our Creator God.

When ever the system gets affected due to some virus or the system speed is very less compared to the latest peripherals that we use, we do not change the whole system to rectify it. But we load a new software to speed up the system, to stop any virus to get further again in to our system, to cause head breaking crashes and system slow down.

In the same way, humans were created by God for HIS GREAT PURPOSE of fellowshiping with Himself, to multiply and spread to rule over the earth, and work well with a unique individual purpose and to enjoy God on earth as HIS CHILDREN'S and SERVANTS for the GLORY OF GOD (Gen 1:26-28; 2:15)! Till sin came in to the world, both the human software of his spirit and soul, along with the hardware of his physical body were gloriously used by God to enjoy him and let Himself be enjoyed by him (Gen 2:20-25; 3:8). Satan was lurking from the outside to taint man with sin of lawlessness and spread in him the virus of sin to make him cursed. Sadly as the Bible says because of our forefather Adam's poor choice, sin came in to the world forever (Rom 5:12). Satan the hacker and the sadist took over the reign of the world rulership over man by deception and became the prince of the whole world (John 10:10; 14:30; Luke 4:5-6). Then the soul-spirit software became tainted with sin virus which began to make the harware body parts of man to become diseased, ineffective and totally get shut off in to death (Rom 6:23). Satan thought that he had brought the whole humanity in to his grip forever, but thank God that He had a plan through HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON JESUS CHRIST (John 3:16; 1 Peter 1:20).

When God began to excute it, Satan opposed it (Matt 2:13-21; Luke 4). But he was confused enough that he thought that if he could bruise the Son of God in his heels [i.e. prevent him from walking on earth through causing death] and make him die physically, he will succeed to keep the humans bound under his gripping sin of lawlessness against God (Gen 3:15; 1 John 3:4). But God's wisdom made Satan's mind to be crushed forever in foolishness and folly, little did Satan realize that the very wisdom of Satan will make him dig his own grave for eternity. The Bible says that if Satan and his demonic cohorts had known that the death of Jesus is going to be considered by the Father God as a payment for all the sins of mankind once and for all, he would have never killed JESUS (1 Cor 2:7-8; Heb 10:12-14).

Praise the Lord! The Good News that is proclaimed now is (Mark 16:15), Jesus is legally taking over those virus affected body systems of humans if they realy desire by their own choice and now He is installing a brand new software that filters all the virus of sin and overcomes it to be flushed out constantly in to the trash bin (John 1:12; 2 Cor 5:17; Eph 4:21-24).

Here is the new gurantee of the Kingdom of God that is given to all who make a choice to boot in to the new system software of the mind of Christ (1 Cor 2:15),

"No devilish hackers or sin virus can be able to have dominion over your physical hardware and its related soul-spirit memory operation, because you are under the powerful new Spirit's software which works with the heavenly direction, command and empowerment of Christ's mind." (Rom 6:14, Paraphrased).

"Once and for all time you have been declared to be free from the old pattern of thinking, begin to choose only the brand new thinking of the newly installed system of the Kingdom for breakthrough and excellence in all things related to living everyday life" (Rom 6:18; 12:2; John 8:32, 36; 10:10, 27).

Praise the Lord! What more we need than this better covenant with better promises that we have been given, it is certainly the best deal in the whole arena of the worldwide spiritual market (Heb 8:6).

Now we should fully surrender our choice to God in all things regarding the operation of the super spiritual power software in our spirit-man to the Kingom operator named Holy Spirit who is in us now each hour, the whole week and for the whole year withour fail [i.e. 24 hour/7 days/365 days]. He has been appointed for this very purpose of keeing our system harware and spirit-soul software intact (John 16:13-14). Just cooperate under the clear direction that he gives us to avoid the sin virus or the hackers who try to come in to our system to cause as much destruction as possible if we let them in (Rom 8:13-14).

Now all we need to say to the sinful demonic hackers when they try to sneek in and destroy our abundant life is, "Warning to you, I do not live in weakness of old indecisive software which was weak to oppose you. But now I live by cooperating with the Holy Spirit who is the Kingdom supernatural software operator of the new mind of Christ software in my spirit-man which directs my soul. I do not trust you who are rebellious indecisive hackers who install malignant virus inside the software of my thoughts and try to control the whole system, but I trust the empowerement that come from within to detect you, dodge you from entering in and destroy your influence in my system completely." (Gal 2:20-21, Paraphrased).

Blessings from above.......

Take Hold of Unbelievable Things By Faith!

I hope the following story will inspire you to look at the invisible, reach for the impossible and take hold of the unbelievable, I have been doing it and I know that God is pleased with it. I hope you will do it for the GLORY OF GOD too!

“A number of years ago I went to America with a steamship captain who was a very devoted Christian. When we were off the coast of Newfoundland, he said to me, “The last time I sailed here, which was five weeks ago, something happened that revolutionized my entire Christian life. I had been on the bridge for twenty-four straight hours when George Mueller of Bristol, England, who was a passenger on board, came to me and said, ‘Captain, I need to tell you that I must be in Quebec on Saturday afternoon.’ ‘That is impossible,’ I replied. ‘Very well,’ Mueller responded, ‘if your ship cannot take me, God will find some other way, for I have never missed an engagement in fifty-seven years. Let’s go down to the chartroom to pray.’

“I looked at this man of God and thought to myself, ‘What lunatic asylum did he escape from?’ I had never encountered someone like this, ‘Mr. Mueller,’ I said, ‘do you realize how dense the fog is?’ ‘No,’ he replied. ‘My eye is not on the dense fog but on the living God, who controls every circumstance of my life.’

He then knelt down and prayed one of the most simple prayers I’ve ever heard. When he finished, I started to pray, but he put his hand on my shoulder and told me NOT to pray. He said, ‘First, you do not believe God will answer prayer, and second, I BELIEVE HE HAS already answered my prayer. Consequently, there is no need whatsoever for you to pray about it – you had your opportunity.’

“As I looked at him, he said, ‘Captain, I have known my Lord for fifty-seven years and there has never been even a single day that I have failed to get an audience with the King. Get up Captain, and open the door, and you will see that the fog is gone.’ I got up, and indeed the fog was gone. And on Saturday afternoon George Mueller was in Quebec for his meeting.”

Do you see at the invisible vision of reaching the destination that God has for you ahead through your spiritual eyes of faith like George Mueller, or like the captain of that ship are seeing the natural circumstances that are usually before you and say like everyone, "It is impossible." It was impossible for Meuller to reach his destination in the nautral, but he did not prophecy his impossiblities and make it a reality in the natural world. Instead he reached for the impossible target through a prayer to God with whom all things are possible. When he was praying to God the most simple prayer with a child like trust, actually he was taking hold of the unbelievable thing to come to pass in the reality of this natural world. God will always respond to his daring sons and daughters who will take hold of God with a unflinching faith and stay calmly in the assurance like a little child that our Heaveny Daddy has never failed and will not fail this time too.

Spirit is the real and eternal reality for a spiritual person, where as the matter is the real and the permanent reality for a fleshly soulish person.

May we never cease to pray to our Heavenly Father with faith, so that all our impossibilities be made possible for the GLORY OF GOD!

God will move over a million people just to touch that one person who is praying in faith, so why not be that one yourself.

"Faith is like radar that sees through the fog-the reality of things at a distance that the human eye cannot see." - Corrie Ten Boom

You Are Worthy of His Love!

Many times as we fall in to sin because of the weakness of our indwelling sin nature taking upperhand because of our lack of providing enough spiritual nourishment to the new man inside us.

The first thought that the enemy makes us to think after such defeat spiritually is, "You are not worthy of GOD'S LOVE because you have sinned and have shown your unfaithfullness toward Him. He doesn't love you anymore because of your sinful lifestyle."

When such thoughts come to us, first of all we must realise that it is not because of our good behaviour He has chosen us, but because of his very own nature of benevolence, mercies and grace he has chosen us. It is of HIS OWN WILL that HE HAS CHOSEN US (John 1:13). We have not chosen Him, He has chosen us and appointed us to bear fruit FOR THE GLORY OF GOD and that OUR FRUIT SHOULD REMAIN FOR ETERNITY AHEAD (Acts 22:14). In other words, we have not intiated this great relationship with God to worry about our weakness, it is God who has intiated it for HIS OWN GLORY.

This is the reason Apostle John said, "We love Him because He first loved us." (1 John 4:19). We can be so bold in our relationship with God even to the extent of saying, "I am worthy of GOD'S LOVE". I know of a time when God first started to draw me toward himself on my early twenties, I used to feel so unworthy because I was involved in a lot of besetting pet sins in my life at that time. During this time God began to stir me up to preach HIS WORD to people around me. It happened, every time I would speak his word under His anointing and then would return back to severely go through a time of accusation from the enemy usually. Then I would say to God, "O Lord I am not worthy, O Lord I am not worthy......". Then a couple of days later, God clearly told me to stop my dirge and told me, "You are not worthy my Son, but I have made you worthy." I thought about it deeply and then understood the profound truth that God was trying to make me understand. He was saying to me, "Not by your behaviour I have chosen you to preach, teach and reach people with MY LOVE. But because of my own choice I have put you in to MY MINISTRY to do MY WORK. You are my child, so you are worthy of my UNCONDITIONAL LOVE." What a joy and freedom it brought to my sin sick and satan bruised soul of mine at that time. It was like a man dying of thirst suddenly finding an oasis in a bone-dry desert. Praise the Lord!

Our Heavenly Daddy's love never ceases even for a split second. He loves us just the way we are. HIS LOVE IS THE ONLY ETERNAL CONSTANT IN THIS EVER CHANGING MATERIAL UNIVERSE. As Jeremiah the weeping prophet was lamenting before God for the nation of Israel, to know whether God will continue to love it inspite of scattering it around the world as a chastisement for its sinful life style in the future, what the prophet heard from God soothed his heart spiritually. Here Jeremiah himself says what God has told him, "The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you." (Jer 31:3). In other words, God was assuring the prophet Jeremiah that he will surely draw HIS PEOPLE towards Himself because of HIS OWN UNCONDITIONAL LOVE in the future, after the chastisements are over. This clearly shows us that even though we are chastised for our sins, we are still loved by the Lord unconditionally. This above verse cemented my faith that God's love towards me is irrespective of my behavior which is one day good when I feed my spiritual man well and another day goes from bad even to worse because of failing to feed my spiritual man enough with HIS WORD and HIS SPIRIT of prayer.

We must learn to praise our HEAVENLY DADDY for his unconditional, constant and everlasting love in good circumstances and also in bad circumstances too. Why? Because when we start to praise our Father God for HIS EVERLASTING LOVE, He will be pleased to be enthroned in and upon our life. The moment he comes near in to us and upon us, the temptation and gloom of sin, condemnation and its yoke gets broken, and sin loses its power over us. We again become filled with the conscious goodness of HIS LOVING PRESENCE tangibly. Praise the Lord!

The greatest privilege for a man or a woman of God on earth and in the eternity ahead is to be HIS CHILD, there should me no greater desire in our heart than to love our HEAVENLY DAD and be a pleasing child to Him.

J. Hudson Taylor (1832-1905) was an English missionary to China. Founded the China Inland Mission which at his death included 205 mission stations with over 800 missionaries, and 125,000 Chinese Christians, said these last words in his death bed, "I am so weak that I can hardly write, I cannot read my Bible, I cannot even pray, I can only lie still in God's arms like a little child, and trust." In other words this faith patriarch prayed, read through his Bible many... times, wrestled with God and fulfilled his assignments that God have him. In all these things, one thing he had learned which at his death bed became a living reality to many people around him, he had learned to lie still in the arms of God like a little child and trust Him always, even to take his dying soul to heaven safely after his death. May it be our daily experience too so that one day when we die we will joyfully be able to tell like Hudson Taylor that we are HIS LITTLE CHILD and be still in God's arms to close our eyes in trust.

"12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." (John 1:12-13, NKJV).

Hear what OUR HEAVENLY DAD is saying to you,

I knew you even before you were conceived … Jeremiah 1:4-5 ༒

I chose you when I planned creation … Ephesians 1:11-12 ༒

You were not a mistake, for all your days are written in my book ..Psalm 139:15-16 ༒

I determined the exact time of your birth & where you would live … Acts 17:26 ༒

You are fearfully and wonderfully made … Psalm 139:14 ༒

"If I knew so much about you, how much more will I lead you in to your destiny that I have prepared for you, if you keep trusting me as my child!" - ♥ Your Heavenly Daddy

Copycats aren't God's best

God doesn't like copy cats and he is God of all variety, he loves to mix his blend of color, language, character, temper, lifestyle, values and finally make them benefit each other. It is like the greatest painter in the universe mixing the colors and finally bringing out a portrait of absolute irresistible beauty. It is like the cheif chef mixing all the different pastes, powders, meat and finally bringing a tasty curry that makes people drool even by smelling it.

I have seen that God places such opposites even from people born within the same family, so that a lovely balace be felt within. When a boat or a ship is overburdened on one side, what usually will happen? It sinks. Like in the same way, say there are three siblings in a family, all of them are possesive and angry extremely. What will happen? You can expect a hellish choas to happen soon, that may cause great sorrow to the father and mother unchangeably forever. Instead, if one child becomes angry while the other is able to tolerate this childs anger, the angry one learns something good from the other. This is how God usually places people within the family. The same applies to introverts, extroverts, moody, shy, wise and all other types of people.

People say, 'Marriages are made in Heaven," which is actually true if we have really sought God for a bride or bridegroom. God usually brings the partner who will support the other spouse's weakness, sharpen their strength's and finally enhaces the whole atmosphere in the home.

G.K. Chesterton beautifully explains such situations that God places us in our "to love" relationsip as, "Love means loving the unlovable----or it is no virtue at all."

In life, God doesn't place the kind of people you want around you in your life, instead He give you the people you need in order to teach you, to mould you, to make you love like Him and eventually to make you exactly the way you should be, exactly in the image of God's Son JESUS (Rom 8:29).

So don't resist, fret and fume for the people who are in your family, circle of friends, office, school and colleges, instead always learn to be thankful for the people that God placed in your life, so that you might have a chance to transform your image in to that of OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN (Matt 5:43-45, 48).

Be thankful to God for the people around you, when you are thankful for them, you will be able to give out the Love of Jesus and also receive eternal blessings upon your own life in the short time of your pilgrimage on earth.

When a man has gathered around him enough people who will always say yes to him without a second thought, you can be sure he has reached the highest cliff after which there is only a deathly fall to shame and destruction.

Copycats aren't God's best, so don't be one yourself.

"There is no place for love in a totally closed cause and effect system." - Francis Schaeffer

Can God Really Bless Me in the City?

“Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country." (Deut 28:3).

This above blessing upon a person who lives in a country or city is a blessing that God has promised to all His people who are obedient to His Voice (Deut 28:1-2).

Many people believe that living in a country farm, village or a small town, God can bless their work through helping them get a good harvest in the fields or by doing a small buisness in their community. But when these same people come in to city and start to mix in with the other type of those who have been born and brought up as city breds in their schooling with darwinic thinking, then together they start to believe in the worldly culture of the city and say that God cannot do such miracle of great blessing in the city like in the country which is a natural settting. God does'nt change based on location. It is only the pagan gods that have characteristics like that. They might be powerful in a country area where people worship it and are totally surrendered to its fear tactics. But when it comes to city it has to change its face and have to control people through love of money, materialism, sex, violence, recreation, immorality and through amusement through drugs.

Isaiah the messianic revelatory prophet calls the "...LORD of hosts...[and our] Redeemer [who] is the Holy One of Israel" as the "God of the whole earth." (Isa 54:5). In other words God is beyond boundary and time-limit. Satan and all his demonic angels can be at only one place at a time. When God asked Satan in the Book of Job, “From where do you come?”. Satan answered the LORD and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.” (Job 1:7). This clearly shows that Satan himself who is the cheif of all the rebellious angels can only be present at only one place at a time (Rev 12:3-4, 9; 9:11). And only God is omipresent, which means He is present at all places at all times (Psa 139:7-12).

Once the settlement for Israelites in Canaan took place the course of events gave rise to a theory about Jehovah being "gods of the hills", which not only the Philistines held but even some of the Israelites held this false view due to following pagan customs of the surrounding people (1 Kings 20:23). It was believed that he was a mountain god and could not fight on level ground. Jehovah God challenged this wrong thinking of His people and Pagan's alike in 1 Kings 20:28 through a man of God who prophesied saying, " “Thus says the LORD: ‘Because the Syrians have said, “The LORD is God of the hills, but He is not God of the valleys,” therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD.’”" (1 Kings 20:28). The result was, God empowered Israelites to kill one hundred thousand foot soldiers of the violent and fierce syrians in one day in the plain and the rest who fled in disarray to a fortified city named Aphek. There, by the power of God, the big wall of the city fell on twenty seven thousand of the men who were left, which made the voilent king Ben-Hadad to flee in to the inner chamber for hiding. What does this teach us? This teaches us to believe that God is indeed a God of the city and also the country. He is able to bless anybody living in any place irrespective of any time limit.

If only we can enter God's heavenly rest in our soul by believing all the promises of God diligently and keep walking according to the voice of God that we hear in our spirit man (Heb 4:3, 11; Rom 8:16), God will be pleased with our faith and will start to bless us in such a way that HIS TANGIBLE BLESSINGS will overtake us (Heb 11:6; Deut 28:2). Once we are tangibly blessed by God, we will become the carrier's of HIS PRESENCE. Like Joseph, whether we are working in a high officials house as a slave, or has been put in a prison for righteousness sake or has been placed as a prime minister in the kings palace, our testimony will be exactly like Joseph's testimony which is described in the Bible saying, "2 The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a successful man... 3 ...his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all he did to prosper in his hand. 4 [as a result of it]...Joseph found favor in his sight, and served him." (Gen 39:2-4) and later in his prison experience "21 the LORD was with Joseph.... 23 whatever he did, the LORD made it prosper." (Gen 39:21, 23). Even high officials and kings who see our supernatural knowledge and wisdom will confess before everyone, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?” (Gen 41:38). Glory to God!

You may be working in a city as a Buisness man, studying in a school or college, or working in a corporate company, or you may be living in a country as a farmer, just ask God to make His face to shine upon you and become HIS FACE SEEKER (Num 6:24-26; Psa 24:6; 27:8; 34:5). Whether you are in the country or a city, if you belong to the royal tribe of HIS FACE SEEKER who constantly hears HIS VOICE day in and day out, blessings upon blessings will surely overtake you and God will surely make you a blessing to all the families of the earth (Psa 123:2; 105:4; 24:5). Praise the Lord!
