God is Sovereign

  In the midst of the chaotic situation in our family during the holiday season, God is sovereign, He will never forget His promise of household salvation. He is faithful in His choosing. His gospel overthrows the stronghold of men. Under the sovereign arrangement of our Lord, My daughter was baptized into the Triune God on December 27, 1999. Ephesians 4: 8 says " He led captive those taken captive" in His triumphant procession for a celebration of Christ's victory over Satan, sin and death to display His multifarious wisdom of God not only in this age but also in the age to come, Hallelujah! . God is bound by two unchangeable things - His promise and His oath. It is impossible for God to lie - His promise is supported by His oath which is Himself. Everything will be accomplished in due time, therefore, we can flee to God to lay hold of the hope set before us. (Heb 6:17-18).
  During this time, Satan is working his best in my husband in accusation and putting doubts in his mind concerning the Church. We recognized the strategy of Satan by making us lose heart in the Lord. My two children and I prayed desperately to the Lord to deliver Satan into the lake of fire. Praise the Lord, He is faithful, His presence was with us. Outwardly, we experience the breaking down of our outer man, inwardly we experience life and peace. Through this family ordeal, God has gained us a little bit more and brought us one step further in our pursuit of the Lord. Our following of our Lord is not by sight but by faith. Indeed, He is the author and perfector of our faith in all situations and circumstances. The bible says, in nothing we will be put to shame. Everything that is not related to His economy - Christ and the Church will be put to shame. "For our momentary lightness of affliction works out for us, more and more surpassingly, an eternal weight of glory, Because we do not regard the things which are seen but the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal." (2 Cor. 4:17-18).
