Don't Miss Dinner, Joy.

brotherGood morning and happy Sunday!


On October 14, 2023, I shared with a group, a piece titled 'What GOD Cannot Do Does Not Exist' (borrowed from my favorite prayer platform.).
In that piece, I shared something I do not recall ever sharing publicly. The fact that when I got saved, due to being a secret born again Christian for fear of losing my life, I had followed, by coercion, my Dad to the Catholic Church on Sundays and that GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT fed me spiritually through the speakers of a living church next door to St. Gabriel's. I also told you the name of the church was The Stone Church.
That was 1998. In another country. On another continent.
This is 2023. Here in the U.S.
Today, the [updated later : he is the brother] to that pastor of that church, The Stone Church, whom I don't recall ever meeting, is coming to minister at our church here in Maryland in the United States, a whole different continent from the two continents he is associated with by Citizenship!
If you know for a fact that coincidences do not exist, that there is a GOD Who supernaturally plans meetings, coordinates events, joins people together to fulfill a divine purpose, then you would not be surprised that someone who fed me remotely at 17, GOD would send them to me at 42 to give me what I need at this moment. GOD is GOD!
He is elderly, and maybe retired now but still full of fire. I don't know anything about him personally. He shared some interesting details at last night's meeting and two nights ago (a three-day event) and those were pointers to me as to why GOD sent him. I have no connection to him being here, nor did I know until I saw the flyers. The name rang a faint bell, I googled who is the pastor of The Stone Church, and there it was right in my face.
Can you imagine how I felt? The knowing that GOD remembers how HE fed his newborn spiritual baby who had no means to eat and HE routed food through loud speakers. You have to live this reality to appreciate everything I feel. GOD cares! GOD loves! GOD is loyal to a fault, y'all! Don't make me cry.
Y'all, I ate as much as I could that way. Fed other ways. The day the hunger became too much, was Easter Sunday that year, if i recall correctly and that was the day I went public, mind fully made up that if i perish, I perish. I'm still here. Because GOD is faithful!
Friends, I am in awe of GOD!
Today, I don't know what challenges are aching your soul. What loss is tearing at your faith. What annoying little lie the devil might be implanting with desperation into you to uproot the gospel of JESUS. But I can tell you this: JESUS is faithful to all who trust in HIM. It won't be easy, HE didn't promise that it will be on earth. But HE promised something is greater.
Prominent of which is the marriage supper of the LAMB. I have one thing to pin on your fridge, 'Don't miss that Dinner, {please put your name here}'.
There is no reward for being a partial Christian. You must make it all the way, tears, aches, wounds, losses and all. It will all make sense when you see things from the other side. If you are frustrated, open up with GOD. Don't sugarcoat it, but don't disrespect GOD either. Put it all on the table. Tell GOD it does not make sense to you. When you are done, wipe your tears and tell yourself that GOD is still good TO YOU even if the plants do not produce. Then go back to doing the last thing GOD told you until you hear the next instruction. And, be grateful. Many, even in the world, would shove you out to take the place you are standing on and complaining.
Be grateful.
Be grateful.
Be grateful.
To GOD.
Tell HIM, 'Thank YOU, SIR' aloud. And please, mean it.
Don't miss the marriage supper of the LAMB.
Because everything you need to make it there has already been provided so missing it would never, ever be GOD's fault but fully yours.
Today, I will watch our church service remotely. I won't be in the church. But this man of GOD may never know how he contributed to my life until he reaches heaven and his hands are getting loaded with benefits and he is getting applauded.
The same way, you do not know all the ways you, yes you, have contributed to the Kingdom of GOD. If you miss heaven, oh how sad it will be to miss the surprise packages like these that you could not see on earth!
I love you. But someone loves you more than I do, will stick with you when i walk away, will stand with you when my face and everyone's turns when you fall, will smile when all else are mocking you, will feel the pain you cannot share, and feed the need you are too embarrassed to admit, and break the addictions you find too tough to get away from.
That PERSON is JESUS CHRIST. HE betrothed you to HIMSELF for a hefty sum, and by HIS blood bought eternal life for you. And HE is waiting for a special dinner with you at the end of time...
I beg you,
with my knees on the ground,
DO NOT MISS IT.
Don't miss the dinner of the ages. THE MOST HIGH is waiting for you.
Will you make it?
Reply if your mind is made up that you will. Let Heaven record it.
