River of Life Christian Church ︳www.rolcc.net/english Psalm 22:22-31   I will declare your name to my people; in the assembly I will praise you. You who fear the Lord, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! Revere him, all you descendants of Israel! For he has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help. From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly; before those who fear you I will fulfill my vows. The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the Lord will praise him - may your hearts live forever!             Because of the sufferings experienced by Jesus and the salvation that He has accomplished for us, we can see that God has indeed opened a new and living way for those who trust in Him! Dear brothers and sisters, how long have you not giving thanks for your salvation? Let us give thanks to Him, for we are delivered from the dominion of darkness because of His salvation on the cross.             In the past we lived in sinfulness and have no power over sin, but Jesus Christ will become our lives and our strength when we choose to trust in Him. He is our help, and we will overcome the dominion of darkness! If you are living under the dominion of darkness, or idol worshipping, or even demonic oppression, you can praise God joyfully because all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus Christ! And in Christ we proclaim victory over the enemies and darkness! Let us proclaim: By Christ we have overcome all bondages! Hallelujah!             Dear brothers and sisters, let us learn to be glad towards our God! Here it says: "You who fear the Lord praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him!" We need to be reminded of God's grace, that He has saved us and know our needs, that he is willing to hear our cries and help us, therefore let us praise Him and bow in worship. In the future, not just us as individuals but all nations and all people will come and bow before Him, for He alone is the enthroned king that is worthy of all. Let us give all the glory and praises to Him!   Pray with Pastor Tong       Dear Lord, I thank you, for You have risen from death and show us that You have overcome sin and death. You have enthroned, therefore we praise You and exalt You! Let me proclaim victory to enemy, the world and sin in our daily lives through You. I thank you and I pray all these in the victorious name of Jesus, Amen!
