Forward through the Year 2011 and forevermore

This is to encourage you take and stand and abide on the Everlasting Foundation as we go forward to the year 2011 and forever more.
We are using the International Sunday School Lesson:

Background to the Sunday School

A. DIRECTION
Date: January 2, 2011

Unit Aim: This lesson is written to help participants see the Future from the eyes of the Everlasting Father through the Son by His Anointing.
Lesson Title: Experiencing Redemption
Lesson Scripture: Isaiah 44:21-26
Central Truth: The Everlasting Father has a supernaturally designed and finished Future for His redeemed servants.
B. LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Create Interest: What is the most important single factor about the future?
Who/ What do you see in this Lesson?

UNDERSTANDING THE LESSON SCRIPTURE:
Read Isaiah 44:

VERSE. 21: Who/ What do you see?
HE is your very Future!
You need to see the Future as a Person.
Why is HE saying these:
"21 ¶ "Remember these, O Jacob, And Israel, for you are My servant; I have formed you, you are My servant; O Israel, you will not be forgotten by Me!
22 I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions, And like a cloud, your sins. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you."

(Isaiah 44:21, 22)

Also look at this text right from verse 1
(Isaiah 44:1, 2)
1 ¶ "Yet hear now, O Jacob My servant, And Israel whom I have chosen.
2 Thus says the LORD who made you And formed you from the womb, who will help you: 'Fear not, O Jacob My servant; And you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

Why is HE saying all these?:
"I have chosen".
"Thus says the LORD who made you"
"And formed you from the womb,"
6 "Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel, And his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: 'I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God.

PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYES TO SEE AND OPEN YOUR EARS TO HEAR THE HEARTBEATS OF THE ALMIGHTY FOR YOU!

IT IS URGENT THAT YOU HAVE AND CONSCIOUSLY, AND CONSISTENTLY, AND CONSCIENTIOUSLY, AND CONTINUOUSLY CULTIVATE AN INTIMATE COMMUNION WITH HIM.
Can you see that He is trying to demonstrate that HE needs you? AND, of course you also need HIM!

If you develop this relationship, you will need NOTHING more in your life.
However, if you reject this relationship, every other thing that you have will be ultimately lost. This means that your future outside of this Father-Son relationship will be in corruption and death. (See Matthew 16:26)
The word Redeemer used in the original Hebrew (This is the foundational and authentic reality) is GOEL. It is better understood within what is called the Edenic African-Asiatic language than in the modern languages which are all tending towards postmodernist disintegration and death. "Goel", in Yoruba should be translated "OLOWO ORI'MI". The response being expected of us is "You are my servant" as HE says in verses 1 and 21 and several other verses.
How does the Greek translate the word, "servant"? Yes, "deacon"! And peoples fight over deacon ordination in many cultures!
But do you know the Hebrew original? It is the word, EBED. This word should be translated "bondslave". This is the word used for our Savior in Philippians 2:5ff where we are asked to have the same Mind.
Will you like to serve the Everlasting Father as our Redeemer-Kinsman (Christ) did?

VERSE 22: He says all your transgressions and sins are blotted out!

VERSE 23: The heavens and all nature all creation will rejoice over your SOUL!

VERSE 24 is giving you further assurance that HE has you blueprints, all the potential treasures of incorruptible and indestructible glory ordained for you!

VERSE 25 should be seen as a warning to those who go into the future without this INTIMATE Father-Son relationship. They may be tempted to consult with diviners, sorcerers, and other defeated liars. They will have their parts in the lake of fire forever!

WHERE IS YOUR FUTURE?

Let the Redeemer-Kinsman help you to return and abide within the Father-Son LIFE. This Life will end in everlasting GLORY.

INVITATION: Will you decide to learn and to live as a bondslave within the everlasting Father-Son Embrace every day of the year 2011 and even forever more?

This is where HE is building His People of GLORY - the Bride of the Lamb, the heavenvenly Mount Zion.

CONCLUSION: It is time to submit and keep submitting to HIM

“Who confirms the word of His servant, And performs the counsel of His messengers; Who says to Jerusalem, 'You shall be inhabited,' To the cities of Judah, 'You shall be built,' And I will raise up her waste places;”

“…that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.”
(Isaiah 44:26; Ephesians 5:27)
