WBJMinistries Sermon
Standing on the Rock of Strength
Heavenly Father, Yahusha our Redeemer, we thank you for bringing us this far. We thank you for the courage that flows through our veins, not by our own might but through Your Spirit. We ask for light, wisdom, and strength today. May Your Word uplift us, connect us to our ancestors, honor our heritage, and renew our faith in Yahusha. In Your name we pray, Halleluyah.
📖Scriptural Foundation
“Because you have guarded My Word of endurance, I also shall guard you from the hour of trial which shall come upon all the world, to try those who dwell on the earth.” – Ḥazon (Revelation) 3:10, Halleluyah Scriptures📜
📍Message
Imagine the lion in the image. Standing firm upon the rock, overlooking the roaring waters. The storm beneath does not shake his stance. He is not where he started, but he is not yet at the end of his journey. This is where we, too, stand in life. On the rock of endurance, with Elohim’s wind at our backs and Yahusha’s promise ahead. Like the lion, we are called to keep going. Not because it is easy, nevertheless because we have survived too much to give up now.
Anthropology and Ancestral Strength
The Amadlozi, our ancestors, whisper resilience into our bones. They remind us that each step forward is a step built upon their prayers, their sacrifices, and their hope that we would live boldly. The Mohegan people teach us the sacredness of creation, that even the storm beneath the lion is part of the divine design. From our Polish lineage, we learn perseverance, standing firm even in exile and hardship. From Buddhism, mindfulness teaches us to breathe in this moment and remain centered. From Islam, we remember the beauty of discipline and submission to the Most High. From Catholicism, we remember devotion and steadfast faith. And from the wisdom of Black women, we remember to stand tall, even when the world tries to break us.
Women of the Scriptures as Our Guides
Esther stepped into her calling “for such a time as this,” teaching us courage when fear says retreat. Mary Magdalene was transformed by Yahusha’s love, teaching us that redemption is always possible. Deborah led as a judge and prophetess, proving that wisdom and authority are not confined to men. These women stand beside the lion in the storm, reminding us that our voices, our resilience, and our faith move mountains.
Maya Angelou declared,“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” Harriet Tubman once said; “I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.” Like Tubman, we are called to walk into freedom and lead others with us.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. taught; “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” And women today echo those truths;
Michelle Obama reminds us; “Your story is what you have, what you will always have. It is something to own.” These voices are roaring lions, affirming that our faith is not quiet. It is bold, fearless, and eternal.
Law, Social Science, and Symbolism
Social science teaches us that resilience is built through community. Law reminds us that justice must roll like waters, even when systems resist. The lion symbolizes kingship, nonetheless also survival, the rock is our legal, social, and spiritual foundation. Even in applied statistics, we know that endurance increases the likelihood of survival. The odds may be against us, yet Yahusha transforms probability into promise.
🗣️Exhortation ~ you did not endure the storms of your past just to give up at the edge of the cliff. Like the lion, you are positioned to see beyond the waves. Yahusha has placed you “for such a time as this."
🙏🏼🙌🏼🤲🏼📿🛐
Father Yahusha, we thank you for Your light and strength. May we roar like lions, walk like Esther, stand like Deborah, and be transformed like Mary Magdalene. May the wisdom of our ancestors, the guidance of Your Spirit, and the courage of our people lead us forward. In Yahusha’s name we pray, Halleluyah.
