When ye be come to the land

We miss out many spiritual insights from the feasts observed in the land when we dismiss them as just mere meaningless feasts in our spiritual wilderness experience.

Bow the knee At His Judgment Seat, we shall either bow the knee to Revere   Him as we Receive our Reward or we shall bow the head in Shame with nothing to Show for our Service for Him.
It just takes a look, but the sight can make an eternal difference between right and wrong and being right or wrong.

One may be so taken up to “take” that one forgets to “give”. Jesus took that He might give!

Is Mother’s advice to be smothered in Moth-balls?

While waiting for the little while to end, ensure that you make the meanwhile worth all the while for the Lord.

The butterfly that struggles to come out of the cocoon is strong and healthy. Cut the cocoon to ease its emergence, it comes out weak and unable to fly!

Alive but Mummified – with feet unable to walk, hands unable to do and mouths unable to talk. Might as well remain dead in the grave!

To Occupy Till I Come needs us to be
Pre-Occupied with Him all the time.

Honour God with your Firstfruits, and He will give you Fruit, Much Fruit and More Fruit.

If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (I Cor. 3:18) Jim Elliot said: He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.

Sin in us is Permitted, Sin on Us is Prohibited.

We have taken of the Bread of Life; now we need the Bread of His Word
To do His Will and to finish His Work.

Faith in God will Burn us Up for Him; Faith in Self will make us Burnt Out for Him

The rich fool sought ease for, and to please, his soul and lost it. (Lk. 12:19) For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it. (Matt. 16:25)

God Remembers to Forget our iniquities; we need to Remember not to Forget Him.

God has to swear by His Person to show how unlike us who forswear our yeas and amens.

All God’s Gifts are Perfect (Jas. 1:17) and All Things work together for Good.However, some may not be Pleasant!

Give the Lord’s Day His due, and He will honour you. Treat Sunday as a holiday, He will go on holiday!

We are Royal and Holy Priests NOT to live as paupers in slums or to scrounge among the filth of this world for our living.

The Dragon would like you to think that he is a myth. You will then be his Dead Duck! The Devil would also like you to think he is in the image of the Dragon in every form. You will then be under his spell and scared of his shadow!

Ruminations for the Remembrance of the Lord.

        The ruminations are to prepare a believer for the Remembrance Feast. Each one will take the form of a short Biblical link or outline to lead him or her to meditate and ruminate on thoughts that will focus on the remembrance of the Lord as He commanded when He instituted the Lord's Supper - " this do in remembrance of Me. " (I Cor. 11:24, 25). Often believers find this difficult – either they allow their thoughts to stray because of “empty minds” resulting in “empty hands” being lifted that cannot Remember and Revere because of “empty hearts” which are not prepared, hence, the "silence of emptiness" at many a Remembrance Feast in many assemblies.

One condition in approaching the Lord is “they shall not appear before the LORD empty, every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which He hath given thee.” (Deut. 16:16, 17).
Note:   1. The Precondition – they shall not appear before the LORD empty
            2. The Prerequisite – every man shall give as he is able
            3. The Preparation – according to the blessing of the LORD thy God
                                             which he hath given thee
The Ruminations are based on Bible texts that will lead you to the Remembrance of the Lord. Few thoughts are given with the texts. It is expected that with further meditation on these texts, your spirit will be in tune with the Spirit Who will expand these thoughts further to lead you to Remember the Lord and Revere Him. 

How to use these Ruminations:
Before attending the Lord’s Supper, prepare your mind, heart and spirit. Spend a time of self-examination before the Lord (I Cor. 11:28). Then refer to the outlined rumination and further meditate on it seeking the Spirit’s help to expand the outline further with thoughts that are focused on the Lord.
Then go to the Lord’s Supper.

During the service, pay attention to the words of the hymns sung.  Listen carefully to the sentiments expressed in the prayer and praise of each participant, and refer to any Bible passage reading when called upon to do so. Should any of the thoughts so expressed be in line with what you have been meditating, seek to connect these thoughts with what you have been ruminating and recall your ruminations to further express or join the others to lead them into a wider (but more focused) expansion of what the whole congregation is meditating upon. Keep in mind all the time the purpose of the gathering, i.e. to remember the Lord.

On the other hand, if the thoughts of the congregation do not seem to link up with your ruminations, do not insist on using them, but follow what the Spirit is leading the congregation to focus their thoughts upon, and think on these things (Phil 4:8) as the Spirit leads you to do so.

Your ruminations are still good because they have benefited you personally in your preparation. You can keep them to yourself and edify yourself. This is not the time to edify the church. (I Cor.14:4). Do not insist on using them publicly.
 
To help you in your preparation, these Ruminations will be posted every Thursday (to also help those who observe the Lord’s Supper on Friday in the Malay States in Malaysia) so that you can prepare yourself for the Lord's Supper on the Lord's Day. May this weekly feature make the Lord’s Supper a time of meaningful remembrance of the Lord for you.
Are the weekly Ruminations helpful to you in your preparation to participate at the Lord’s Supper to Remember your Lord as He commanded you? REFLECT.

 

  1. Appendix:
  2. Why are the Ruminations given in outline form and not in verbatim?

There are two specific reasons for doing this:

  1. To give the Spirit the freedom to tap on and develop the thoughts further to lead you into His thoughts and into the Lord’s mind for your own application so that what is ultimately expressed becomes your own personal contribution and not just borrowed thoughts from others.
  2. To give freedom to students of God’s Word to meditate on the outlines and develop their own thoughts as led by the Spirit to come up with original messages of their own based on what they have been meditating and not just to reproduce messages from others.
  1. Why are they called Ruminations and not Devotions or Meditations?

Merriam Webster Dictionary defines Ruminate as:

  1. to think carefully and deeply about something;

to go over in the mind repeatedly and often casually or slowly

  1. of an animal : to bring up and chew again what has already been chewed and swallowed; to chew repeatedly for an extended period

The idea of Rumination is taken from the cow chewing the cud, i.e. to bring up and chew again what has already been chewed and swallowed; to chew repeatedly for an extended period
Hence, it is expected for one using the Rumination to first read it (may be casual at first) - just to have an impression of the main thoughts and what they are all about, like the cow initially swallowing the grass that it grazes. Then in the course of time, as he further thinks and meditates on the thoughts in the time available to him, he slowly goes over these thoughts and waits on the Spirit to see how He develops them for Him, like the cow now (under the shade of a tree) bringing up what it has swallowed earlier to chew again what has already been chewed. He repeats the main thoughts and develops the sub-thoughts and thus, so to speak, he dresses up the skeleton message into the full body of what he has developed to present it as his own contribution. The final message is his own developed with the Spirit’s help and no more borrowed from anyone else!

  1. But why weekly and not daily?

As explained earlier these ruminations are meditations focused on the Lord’s Supper.
They have a different objective compared to the many daily devotions found in the market which are applied to daily Christian living.

  1. Why the Reflections for the Week?

This is a later development from its original intention. Somehow it is sensed that the Ruminations may just prepare believers to be Sunday Christians only. Hence, this is a later development to give food for thought for the week to the Christian how he should be spending the rest of the week as a practising Christian before he attends the Lord’s Supper again. It is also an opportunity to reflect on certain current issues that may be connected with the rumination themes which merit further discussion.
With the above explanatory notes, it is hoped that that the Ruminations and Reflections for the week will be more meaningful and helpful to you in the next ten years to come (Lord willing).

  1. Why the Points to Ponder?
They are the latest addition to the Ruminations to summarise the main thoughts into a succinct sentence to help the person remember them easier.
