CIRCULAR LETTER October 2007

We would like to offer special greetings to our brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, our Lord, in all the nations around the globe. In this Circular Letter we shall try to show forth the responsibility that goes along with a divine calling and commission.

When the Prophet Isaiah was placed into the presence of God in a vision and heard the words, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts!”, he cried out, “Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips …” Then the live coal touched his lips and his guilt and sin were taken from him. “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.” (Isa. 6:8).

Jeremiah writes, Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” (Jer. 1:4-5).

About Ezekiel we read, “…The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him.” (Ezek. 1:3).

In regard to the ministry of the prophets the Apostle Peter writes, “Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.” (1. Pet. 1:12).

In his epistle to Timothy the Apostle Paul emphasises, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” (2. Tim. 3:16-17).
