Have you notice that when you add your age with the year you were born, it adds up to be the number 111. No matter how old you are or how young you are, the total sum is 111.
This might be true for the world, but for those who are established in the finished work of Christ, the total sum might not be the number 111.
Since this is a matter about "NUMBER", the answer is found in the Book of Numbers.... For those whose year of birth has 19 in front, please refer to the 19th chapter of the Book of Numbers.
Numbers
19:9 ~ A man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the red heifer and put them in a ceremonially clean place outside the camp. They shall be kept by the Israelite community for use in the water of cleaning; it is for purification from sin.
The water with the ashes of the red heifer has purified us, regenerated us and rejuvenated us. This means to say, the preaching of the finished work of Christ has purified us, regenerated us and rejuvenated us. We are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and are well established in the finished work of Christ! By the grace of God, claim this manifestation of rejuvenation in your life. Because of the red heifer's ashes, we are forever 19 years young in Christ, therefore, 19 + the year you were born does not equal to 111.
Rejuvenation is one of the promises made by God to those who are righteous by faith and this is one of the magnification in the righteous Abraham's life. It is all about the grace of God....
Interestingly, Psalm 111 which mentioned about the works, the wonderful works of God, of His hands (the mightiest work of God IS the finished work of Christ on the cross) is the Psalm for the Year 2011 too! What a coincidence!
ReplyDeleteTake a read of Psalm 111 and put 'the finished work of Christ' in places where 'works', 'wonderful works' appear and you will be pleasantly surprised! ;)
Psalm 111 (NKJV)
1 Praise the LORD!
I will praise the LORD with my whole heart,
In the assembly of the upright and in the
congregation.
2 The works of the LORD are great,
Studied by all who have pleasure in them.

And His righteousness endures forever.

remembered;
The LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

He will ever be mindful of His covenant.

works,
In giving them the heritage of the nations.
7 The works of His hands are verity and justice;
All His precepts are sure.
8 They stand fast forever and ever,
And are done in truth and uprightness.
9 He has sent redemption to His people;
He has commanded His covenant forever:
Holy and awesome is His name.

wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do
His commandments.
His praise endures forever.
