The Lion And The Lamb (Revelation 5:5-6)

Jesus Christ has many titles, such as Son of God, Son of Man, Messiah, Emmanuel (Matthew 1:23), Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).

In this message, we want to look at Jesus as the Lion and the Lamb. In the natural, the lion and the lamb are seemingly contrasting types of animals. The lion is fierce, bold, strong and swift. On the other hand, the lamb is meek, tender and gracious. Like a lion, Jesus is jealous and zealous for the true holiness and worship of God. For example, He confronted the moneychangers, overthrew their tables and said, "My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves" (Mark 11:17).

Like a lamb, Jesus was "oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth" (Isaiah 53:7). What is the application for us today? We need men and women who know when to be like a lion, and when to be like a lamb. We need men and women who are full of glory mingled with humility, full of uncompromising justice tempered with mercy, full of majesty mingled with meekness. We need to see Jesus and all that He has accomplished at the cross in order to be all that we can be in Him.

Revelation 5:5-6 portrays the prophetic significance of Jesus as the Lion and the Lamb. From the foundation of the world, God's plan for the ages is that redemption is only through Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God. When humankind fell, Jesus is the only perfect sacrifice to put away sin.

We Are The Temple Of The Holy Spirit

November 3, 2024

Hosting Pastor: Bishop Mike Berdin, Charismatic Revival Center Fellowship In the Old Testament, King Solomon, who was a type of Christ as the Prince of Peace, was chosen to build the temple. The temple portrayed God’s grace and glory. It was a picture of the coming kingdom of God. The various furnishings in the temple have their significance. Whether it is the pillars, table of shewbread, candlestick, altar of incense, or any other vessels, they reflect the presence and worship of God. Then, the Israelites would travel to the temple to meet and commune with God. No priest could enter the Holy of holies without first being cleansed. Today, we are the temple, the residence, the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. Thank God, we can now enter into the inner sanctuary, the throne of grace through the blood of Christ. We are living epistle of Christ, the salt of the earth, the light of the world and a city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. As the temple of the Holy Spirit: · We are being built together for a habitation of God · We are to be a pure maiden to Christ · We are stamped with His seal · We have this treasure in earthen vessels · We are to cultivate the fear of the Lord · We are to defeat the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life · We are not to quench or grieve Him · We are a living sacrifice Do we hunger for God’s Word? How much time do we spend in seeking Him in prayer? Or have our careers and even hobbies draw our time and hearts away from God? As temple of the Holy Spirit, we need His manifest Presence. We desire to be filled with the Spirit, walking and living in the Spirit, having the fruit and gifts of the Spirit.

Come Into The Ark [English and Bahasa Indonesian]

June 22, 2024

Bahasa Indonesian Interpretation by Henok Hariyanto Hosting Pastor: Henok Hariyanto, Macedonia Ministry Jesus said that before He comes back to earth again, our world will be just like it was in the days of Noah. People are eating, drinking and partying. Many are consumed with pursuing money, power and sex. Now, there is nothing wrong with having the legitimate things in life, such as having food and sleep. But life is not just about fulfilling our physical needs. It is also to follow the Lord and seek His Kingdom. Today, we see all kinds of perversion and depravity. People are not only openly living sinful lifestyles, but want others to accept their behaviours. We are living in a day and age where evil is called good, and good is called evil. We have all kinds of blasphemers, mockers and scoffers of Jesus Christ. There is a spirit of violence that is persecuting those who believe God’s Word and walk in His way. The ark was a type of Christ. He calls us to come into the ark of His presence, protection, safety, shelter, refuge and rest. A storm is coming upon our world. It is a storm of judgment. Society will not get better and better, but rather worse and worse. We are a generation of vipers – sin has increased rampantly. Do we weep over lost souls? Do we warn people to flee from the wrath to come? We are close to the midnight hour, where the Bridegroom, Jesus Christ, is coming soon! Are we ready to meet Him? Now is the day of salvation. Some of us are religious. We may even attend church regularly, have a form of godliness but denying its power. We do many good works, but are not resting in the cross and the blood of Jesus for our salvation. Today, we must make our calling and election sure! The door of the ark is still opened right now. But it won't be long before the door will be closed.
