After careful review of this passage many times, the word predetermine best captured what Paul was discussing in context.
The word in the Greek is proorizo which means to limit in advance, predetermine: determine beforehand, ordain, and predestinate. Jehovah Jireh Ministry exists to create strong belief, Commitment to Christ, His Cause and His Community The Father Predetermined, Chose, or Predestined Us to be in Christ Predestination is the word used in most translations in Ephesians 1:5 and later again in verse 11. Moses experienced the glory and witnessed this tangible presence: “The Lord said to Moses, ‘I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear me speaking with you and will always put their trust in you.’ …On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast.” (Exodus 19:9, 16 NIV).ĭo not limit God, Fly as High as an Eagle God is on your Side So we see that the glory of God is a tangible presence of weighty, abundant riches, honor, and glory. The Hebrew word for this glory of God is kabod, and it literally means, “the abundant riches, glory, splendor, and honor of God.” The root word it comes from indicates a literal weight. All of these areas of the vision will come to past by people who have been assigned to this ministry who exhibit obedience, humility, faithfulness, commitment, and submission to the set leaders.Hebrews 1:3 tells us that Jesus Christ is the perfect revelation of God’s glory: “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.” (NIV).He is the glory! And when God’s glory touches us, the true, weighty presence of God is being released into our lives. Even as the Lord allows us to fulfill this portion of the vision, we endeavor to plant ministries throughout the United States and countries abroad. Crusades, seminars, scholarship programs, and television ministry are also included in our vision. We will also establish our own publishing company and materials.
The sole purpose of this God given vision is to accomplish our mission: to walk in obedience to God by being effective witnesses among both believers and unbelievers, that they may be able to gain knowledge and in return, impart what they have learned into those whom they come into contact with (2 Timothy 2:2). Harvest food and clothing banks, nursing home and prison outreach along with college campus outreach will be implemented as a means of reaching lost souls and effectively making a difference. In addition, a school from kindergarten to grade 12 along with a bible college that will provide degrees ranging from Associate to Doctorate, will be erected. A Christian-base recreation center will also be established, which will include programs such as tutorials and teen sessions. To build a temporary, yet stable Christian-based homeless shelter that will be a tremendous asset to the community, in which people will be taught and guided into becoming self-sufficient. that will build character, integrity, teach obedience, humility and love for these are the foundational things that will usher us into a relationship. This would be done by providing ministries inside of the ministry such as ministry of Helps, Government, Praise & Worship, etc. A place that introduces people to God and ushers them into a closer relationship, and not just teach them about Him. A place of great diversity and uniqueness that caters to people from all walks of life. To build a beautiful edifice where the people of God can be taught, trained and equipped to be effective witnesses and spiritually sound in the Word of God. We have many more parts of the vision in which God has given us and we are preparing ourselves to receive the fullness thereof. On November 17, 2013, we had our first service at our present place of worship.
A project that was supposed to take 6 months took over two years, but God is faithful. On July 24, 2011, we began phase I of our building project commencing with a Ground Breaking Ceremony. In January 2010, the ministry purchased 3.1 acres of property with a house included on its grounds.
While at this location we were blessed of the Lord to purchase padded pew chairs, radio time and a 2005 15-passenger van which we were able to pay off in full in early 2008. After about ten months in this location, the Father later saw fit to move us to 209 Dawson Road Unit# 5. We then moved to a warehouse building located at 1156 Joe Louis Drive, and served the Lord diligently in this location for several months. In the month of March of that same year, the Lord caused an opportunity to present itself that came after receiving a prophetic word from God through Prophet Brian J. Rhema Word Restoration Ministries started out as a bible study with about five people in an apartment room (Springtree Apartment #O-2) in the year of 2002.
