WE WILL NOT BE MOVED
The mandate of Illumination and Progression.
Blessed be God. We count all our losses as gain, for in Christ there is no loss. Our Facebook and Instagram accounts are temporarily unavailable for reasons best known to the service providers. Regardless, we press on.
If we lose everything, we are never at a loss.
We pray for those who reported our accounts, that the love of Christ may be shed abroad in their hearts, and that they may come to know the breadth, length, depth, and height of His love.
If everything is taken from us but one—the Holy Spirit—we would reproduce everything by Him.
Hence, we rejoice because Christ is our hope of glory. The darker the night, the brighter our light shines.
And guess what? We have just increased in our heavenly riches because Christ said:
“Blessed are ye, even when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.”
Matthew 5:11–12 (KJV)
The more we are persecuted, the greater we become, and we ask the Lord for more grace to work speedily, because the hour of darkness is at hand.
Studying the life of our Grand Patriarch, Father Abraham, the father of faith, we observe one thing: when there was dryness, Father Abraham dug wells, and water sprang forth. When the Philistines came, they pilfered the wells from his servants.
He didn't go after them as he did when the five kings nabbed his nephew. Instead, he kept digging new wells.
If Isaac had been taken from him, Father Abraham would still have trusted the promise of God, knowing that God was able to fulfil His covenant. For God had already declared that through Isaac, his seed would be called.
Therefore, Abraham's confidence was never in what he possessed; it was in the God who had made the promise.
If Isaac had been slaughtered on that alter, Father Abraham would still have become
the Father of many nations.
