We begin this day by repeating our never stale and forever new and true words of praise and thanks, as we proclaimed at the end of yesterday’s offering.

Praise and thanks be to God for the Trinity.

Indeed, it has been impressed upon me to share this week with you as Trinity Week, in a most different and unusual, nevertheless, doctrinally and spiritually sound time, with our unimaginable God. O yes, our Three in One God is so far beyond our wildest thoughts and imaginations, we can but only give up all our thoughts to Him and receive by faith and faith only, His graciously given mind and heart. What unbelievable grace! What magnificent privilege and honour to us mere earthlings! May God grant us humility, power and will to receive all that He has already given to us this Trinity Week and will continue to give to us throughout.

Having been able to glean and accept much more of the Pentecostal pouring on the servants of God, we accept and are still daily learning, in many ways and through different and diverse media, the manifestation of the Spirit through prophesying. If we really have believed and received that this gift of manifestation comes with preaching, proclaiming and publicizing God and God alone, then what we are in this week receiving, is prophecy.

Let me hasten to add and acknowledge that there are many Spirit-filled servants of God, both women and men, on whom the Pentecostal Holy Spirit has been poured out. They all, without exception, in different meaningful ways, have prophesied and they still have lasting fruit unto Jesus, God the Son, through God the Holy Spirit, about God the Father. However, one such servant has been taken out, specifically and specially chosen by God, to bring us closer and closer to Trinity. This will be done in commonplace, everyday and most unbelievably simple ways. It’s like knowing that the earth is filled with luscious, nutritious fruit, all provided, watered, fed and brought to full harvest by God, so that we can feed and receive their virtue. However, you are in a certain place at a certain time and one fruit is brought to you, to serve you in different ways, so as to bring out and show the versatility of the fruit. In like manner one hymn writer has been chosen for us, from which three of his many hundreds of hymns have been given.

A most prolific eighteenth century hymn writer is Charles Wesley, whose hymns of faith still influence us today. Many people, Christians and non-practicing Christians alike, along with friends and sympathizers of Christianity, can be heard joining in the singing of Charles Wesley’s hymns in public gatherings such as funerals, marriages and other Christian, religious ceremonies. These hymns go beyond denominations as they are all Biblical and inspired by the Holy Spirit.

During this our Trinity Week, the hymns will be brought to us under three clear headings.

• Singing and Reading – where the words of the hymn will be offered.

• Seeing and Returning – where we will come to face again, truths which we may have become cold to, but become so fired by the Spirit that we have no choice but to repent and return to all that we have been forfeiting.

• Signing and Resourcefulness – where we, who have returned to reclaim what has been given to us, will sign by faith, our lives back to God and receive all that He says is ours as believers who are one with the Trinity.

Many of us, believers, servants, friends and followers of Jesus, are still like Philip and need to know these words of Jesus, of which hearing can and will only come by the working of the Holy Spirit in each of us.

Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, Show us the Father? Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. John 14: 9 – 11.

Exercise your faith fully.
