All He Has Are Yours

In Christ- our inheritanceAll that He Has Are Yours

Isaiah 49:8

I will give thee for a covenant of the people.

C.H. Spurgeon

Jesus Christ is Himself the sum and substance of the covenant, and as one of its gifts. He is the property of every believer. Believer, canst thou estimate what thou hast gotten in Christ? “In Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”

 Consider that word “God” and its infinity, and then meditate upon “perfect man” and all his beauty; for all that Christ, as God and man, ever had, or can have, is thine-out of pure free favour, passed over to thee to be thine entailed property forever. Our blessed Jesus, as God, is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent. Will it not console you to know that all these great and glorious attributes are altogether yours?

Has he power? That power is yours to support and strengthen you, to overcome your enemies, and to preserve you even to the end.

 Has He love? Well, there is not a drop of love in His heart which is not yours; you may dive into the immense ocean of His love, and you may say of it all, “It is mine.”

 Hath He justice? It may seem a stern attribute, but even that is yours, for He will by His justice see to it that all which is promised to you in the covenant of grace shall be most certainly secured to you.

 And all that He has as perfect man is yours. As a perfect man the Father’s delight was upon Him. He stood accepted by the Most High. O believer, God’s acceptance of Christ is thine acceptance; for knowest thou not that the love which the Father set on a perfect Christ, He sets on thee now? For all that Christ did is thine. That perfect righteousness which Jesus wrought out, when through His stainless life He kept the law and made it honourable, is thine, and is imputed to thee. Christ is in the covenant.

“My God, I am thine-what a comfort divine!

What a blessing to know that the Saviour is mine!

In the heavenly Lamb thrice happy I am,

And my heart it doth dance at the sound of His name.”

“All Are Punish’d”…

“All Are Punish’d”…

 

                       

When some MPs loot the coffers

Under guise of expenses cover

And jail the poor for looting

Bailing out the banker siphoning.

 

When QE only eases the banks

And leave small business broke

Going about with cup in hand

It is surely sin against the Land.

 

When the ‘have nots’ are muzzled

And the’ haves’ are cushioned and cuddled

There’s recipe for disaster

 A concoction for palaver.

 

“All Are Punish’d”…

 

 Pray for the rich who set up schemes to avoid tax and impoverish the nation whilst they live in the lap of luxury. It may be legal but is it moral?

 

Pray for the Government to be courageous to close tax loopholes in their favour and in the favour of the rich, enabling them to pay less tax in the pound than the poor; raising fares, cutting public services and benefits  to the poor and vulnerable and disabled, encouraging part-time jobs, low wages, reduced pensions, introducing sinister schemes to steal employee rights and so making the poor poorer and the rich richer.

 

Pray for our boys and girls who are imprisoned in the life of crime deceived into thinking the Easy Street is the way out of poverty rather than hard work.

 

 

3        He who mocks the poor reproaches his Maker; He who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished.Prov17:5

 

34Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a reproach to any people.Pov14:34
