*_When God 'Comes Down': Expecting His Majestic Presence_*


Reading from Isaiah 64, we are presented with a captivating image of Almighty God "coming down" in awesome and majestic ways. This passage invites us to explore the profound truth that, often when we least expect to encounter or hear from God, He surprises us with His presence and His voice. It is during these moments that breakthroughs occur, darkness dissipates, and the light of day shines through.


Isaiah 64:1 begins with a heartfelt plea: *"Oh, that You would rend the heavens! That You would come down! That the mountains might shake at Your presence."* This verse reflects the yearning of our souls for divine intervention, for the mighty hand of God to shake the foundations of our circumstances.


In our journey of faith, there are times when impatience and discouragement tempt us to wonder if God is able to help us. We may even lose our expectancy of His miraculous intervention. However, this passage from Isaiah encourages us not to abandon our hope in God's ability to move mightily in our lives.


Isaiah 64:4 reminds us of an astonishing truth: *"For since the beginning of the world men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, who acts for the one who waits for Him."* Our God is unparalleled—beyond imagination and beyond compare. He acts on behalf of those who patiently wait for Him.


We must remember that it is through His mercy, forgiveness, compassion, and the shed blood of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, that we are even permitted to stand in awe of this majestic God. God, who causes mountains to quake and nations to tremble, is also the God of grace and love. His majesty is coupled with His tender care for His children.


As we journey through life's challenges and uncertainties, let us not lose our expectancy of God's moving. Let us wait for Him with hope and anticipation. God delights in surprising us when we least expect it, demonstrating His awe-inspiring power and love.

  I Will Build My Church – Matthew 16:13-19   We are living at a very crucial time when it appears the devil has taken over the stage. All over the world, news of crises and criminal activities pervade the whole atmosphere. For those who have the spiritual insight and understanding of time, the whole arsenal of the devil is directed at the church moreso, when the coming of the Lord is nearer than before. Nevertheless, the plan and purpose of God cannot but come to pass. The Lord’s words cannot go out without being fulfilled that “…I will build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”. Amen.   The church, that is, the Body of Christ, does not belong to anybody hence; Jesus said “…I will build my church…” No man or woman who has by His grace become, a building block and precious stone in the Body of Christ, can lay claim to the church. We have become a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that we should show...
