Victory For The
Peoples
by Rev. C. R. Stans
The Lord has promised to give His peoples all things for
a simple form of obedience on our effort. The idea ex
pressed here means that all things which we need and
those beyond are set in order. These blessings which are
arranged by our Lord are obtainable according to group
behavoir, while others can be had through individual
obedience. It has been said that no one can bless us
likened unto the Lord. It is He who has won the true
victory of sin in order that all things might freely be
ours.
The Lord is a person as well as a Spirit of time. The
peoples of the Lord need to value time according to the
divine count on matters of blessings. One of the key
factors to be considered is the rhythm to which He is
most pleased to work on our behalf. Peoples of the
Lord must get with the rhythm Jesus possesses if their
desires are to be fulfilled.
The idea expressed here seems to indicate that we as
His peoples can become too slowful, thus we may go oi.
our selfish way empty-handed. We cannot afford the
nistake of trying 10 serve the Lord when time is most
roiiveiiieut for us.
He who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
