AN ALTAR OF THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE (5):
A Confession Of Love For My King…!

Psalm 45:1 NKJV
“My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.”

I SIMPLY LOVE JESUS! He is the pivot around which my life evolves. Encountering Him is the best thing that ever happened to me. Actually, my love for Jesus is a mere reflection of His love for me; He loved me to death! (John 15:13; Jeremiah 31:3)

Although I have an awesome relationship with Jesus Christ as my God, King, Saviour, Redeemer, Brother, Friend and Bridegroom, my GREATEST heart’s desire and life pursuit is STILL to know, love and worship Him more and more!

I understand Paul’s heartcry, “That I may know Him…,” because, I also have this deep desire to know Jesus, and to love and serve Him with all my heart, mind and strength. I really want to know and be acquainted and intimate with Jesus, and be conformed to His life, death and resurrection. (Philippians 3:9-11)

Song of Solomon 2:14 NKJV
“O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the cliff, let me see your face, Let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.”

Actually, this invitation from Jesus into the secret place is also my invitation to Him – to daily let me see His beautiful face and hear His lovely voice. This is the essence and depth of my communion with Him!

I now understand why Mary would break her alabaster box and pour its fragrant and precious oil on Jesus’ feet, and wipe them with her hair. It was her act of adoration and worship; an expression of her love for and devotion to Him. (John 12:3)

Therefore, for me, this Christian walk is not a mere religious activity. It is a relationship I have with the Greatest Man that ever lived, and the most wonderful, loving, kindest, merciful, gracious, patient, good, righteous and just KING and GOD, that ever existed! I cannot thank the Holy Spirit enough for revealing Jesus to me daily, and strengthening my relationship with Him.

QUESTIONS: How well do you know Jesus Christ? How much do you love Him? What is your walk with Him like? Have you truly experienced His love for you? Do you love Him enough to worship and serve Him?

Today, take a moment to reflect on these questions and pray and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal Jesus Christ to you and help you to deepen your relationship with Him.

There is one song, “Righteous One” by Nathaniel Bassey that expresses my heart and how I feel towards Jesus. Please click on the link to join me in singing it. https://youtu.be/Pdj8LMXaoEg?si=773fUbi6Sz88KY43

Fulfilling Our Theme For 2024: “Building The Highway And Lifting The Banner”

“And in that day, there shall be a Root of Jesse, who shall stand as a banner to the people; for the Gentiles shall seek Him…. (therefore) Go through, go through the gates! Prepare the way for the people; build up, build up the highway! Take out the stones, lift up a banner for the peoples!” [Isaiah 11:10, Isaiah 62:10]
