DO YOU HAVE AN ANCHOR ? - 2
"These two things cannot change: God cannot lie when he says something, and he cannot lie when he makes an oath. So these two things are a great help to us who have come to God for safety. They encourage us to hold on to the hope that is ours. This hope is like an anchor for us. It is strong and sure and keeps us safe. It goes behind the curtain". Hebrews 6:18-19 (ERV)
Early this morning, while meditating on the above scripture, I remembered the story of Mrs Ruth Caye Jones. It was shortly after the World War II in 1943, when the world economies were at breaking points with rations everywhere. Everyone was living under incredible strain. And in the midst of the hardship, the Holy Spirit beam the light of God's word in the above scriptures into the heart of Mrs Jones and she composed another wonderful hymn titled:"In Times Like These We Need An Anchor". Since that day the hymn has been a blessing to countless Christians at special times of need. It has brought comfort during illnesses, has been used widely at funerals, has encouraged and challenged believers, and has drawn many to salvation.
Beloved, in times like these everyone needs an anchor. But the question is; Do you have an anchor? Who is your anchor? Is it your Uncle, your spouse, your boss, your parents, your clients, your business partners, your Pastor, Federal Government or Jesus Christ? Is your anchor holding the Solid Rock? Dear friends, In times like these you must be very sure that your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock. But If you are not sure, then I urge you to please connect your ship to the True Anchor - Jesus Christ today and He will go behind the curtains of life on your behalf and calm the raging seas for you.
This morning, may I urge you to please open up your heart and meditate on the wordings of this beautiful hymn.
IN TIMES LIKE THESE WE NEED AN ANCHOR
"In times like these we need a Savior;
In times like these we need an anchor.
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!
This Rock is Jesus, yes, He’s the One.
This Rock is Jesus, the only One!
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!
In times like these we need the Bible.
In times like these O be not idle.
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!
This Rock is Jesus, the One.
This Rock is Jesus, God’s only Son!
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!"
In case, you are experiencing untold hardship and pains today, please be assured that the Great Anchor is right beside you. Therefore, you cannot perish in the World War of Life. His everlasting arms are right underneath your ship , so you cannot sink in the oceans of life. And as the Lord God of Heavens lives, before this week is over, the Great Anchor will reverse the downward trend and give you many reasons to celebrate in the midst of it all.
Good morning and do have a blessed week in Jesus name. Amen.
Maranatha!
