    R is for Rainbow




    What are rainbows all about!?

    Well lets go back to a time where it first appeared..

    Genesis 9..
    12 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. 14 It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; 15 and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17 And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”

    · As you can see, God repeatedly talks about the covenant, and confirming it again with a physical sign. He wants to continually assure us and for as to be at ease and peace.
    · The rainbow always appears after the rain. To assure us that our fear of rain will never prevail against him. Thus we also can be assured any fear we have will also not prevail.
    · The rainbow is a refraction of beams from the sun (son), which means that all the glory and significance of the seals of the covenant are derived from Christ the Sun (Son) of righteousness!
    · A bow normally is terrifying because it is a weapon. But this bow doesn’t have an arrow or a string. Furthermore it is a bow and it’s directed upwards towards heaven! Always certifying that the rainbow is meant to comfort.
    · God will always remember his covenant of mercy and grace. So we must remember it as well when we see the rainbow, as an affirmation.


    In Ezekiel chapter one, Ezekiel had a vision of God, and at the end of his vision he said, V18, ( Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. )

    · Seeing a rainbow, is just like seeing God!
    · And when we see a rainbow, we are reminded of all his glory and promises and his pledge of mercy and kindness! For it is a confirmation of that gracious promise God has made that he will not drown the world again.
    · Thus this shows that God’s dominion is for our protection, not our destruction that he interposes between us and the judgments our sins have deserved!


    In Revelations 4:3, And He who sat there was[a] like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.

    · Just like how God showed Noah a rainbow to establish a covenant of protection over him, IN CHRIST we can be assured of that covenant of promise that God has made with Christ (all the promises through Christ!) as the head of the church, and all his people IN him, which covenant is as the waters of Noah unto God, an EVERLASTING covenant!


    Revelations 10:1 ( I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. 2 He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land )

    · A rainbow was upon his head signifies that he is always mindful of his covenant. Now by relating this into us, we too whom are bodies of Christ should be mindful of his covenant. Which covenant? As pastor prince said, it is the new covenant! The little book represents the new testament because it is little compared to the old.
    · All of us are in the body of CHRIST thus; all of us must have a rainbow on our head and therefore a new covenant mentality! No more judgment for us! It has all been done! We’re free from condemnation and assured of his mercy and grace! And it is not something we are not guaranteed of. As God said, Gen 9:16 ( … the everlasting covenant … ) and yes God can’t lie. So people!! Yesterday, today, tomorrow. Forever we’re in him.


    So remember! The next time you see a rainbow, it’s not just a wow. It’s a WOW!     =P Have a blessed week ahead children of God =) grace and favour baby.
