Policies Are Made In The House

Two days ago, Saturday April 03, 2010, our daughter Adeline was joined in marriage to Joshua Ting at The Chambers of The Arts House, Singapore. The Chambers is the former parliament chambers of the Singapore government and it was a very lovely setting for the wedding ceremony.
As the parliament chambers was the seat of the government, the officiating pastor reminded us the significance the Lord plays in our family as well as individual lives. Ideas and suggestions may be had in our personal lives in various locations but the decisions are made and sealed in the House (of God) and indeed God the Father had indeed cut the Covenant and sealed it in His House and Christ Jesus is the Head of our House.Our Lord is a generous God and because of His great love for mankind, He decided to come down to our level and take on human form so that, being one with us, He could become our Savior when He offered up His life on the Cross for us. And because He died in our place we are no longer under the Law of sin and death but we have entered into life the moment we received Him into our hearts.
And having done that, we have aligned ourselves to receive His blessings as His word confirms it in Hebrews 10:17 and Romans 4:7-8. God is a God of grace and mercy - grace because He has given us everything that we did not deserve to receive and mercy because He chose not to give us what we deserve but took them away from us when His Son died on the cross to save us.
And all these decisions were indeed made in the Chambers of Heaven when God the Father decided to send God His Son as a Substitute for our sin. Hallelujah, all glory to Jesus for His finished work on the cross for all of us.
