Summit
Zephaniah 2:7 That land will belong to the remnant of the people of Judah; there they will find pasture. In the evening they will lie down in the houses of Ashkelon. The Lord their God will care for them; he will restore their fortunes
Hymn for scheduled worship #505 Chris for the Whole Wide World (#268 in the previous version)
The definition of Summit means the “highest point” and the “very top”. In each nation, the word summit is applied to the meetings in which very influential figures gather together. In the Bible, the Summit is justified by those who have scattered, those who are hidden, and those who remain. God has scattered all of His children with the covenant throughout the world. He has scattered His children, hidden them so they cannot be disturbed, and allowed them to remain for the sake of world evangelism. This is the Remnant the Bible speaks of. When an age was faced with crisis, God raised the Remnants to restore the age. God has raised up and gathered the Remnants of the summit that must move this age.
1. Biblical summit
Before the Israelites became enslaved to Babylon, God had scattered the Remnants that possessed the covenant, and allowed them to remain. Also, when the Israelites became captivated by Rome, God gathered the witnesses of the gospel who came to an answer inside Christ in one location. They had ignited the Early church, were commissioned as missionaries to other countries, and shared the gospel of Christ to all nations from Macedonia to Rome. This is how God prepared the Remnants with the gospel, and provided them with power to stand upon the summit and gathered them together inside His perfect plan. Our commission is discover Remnants who have made a complete answer inside Christ, and to find the necessary summit of this spiritually deteriorating age.
2. The weapon of the Summit
The people of the word do not know of the historical summit that God has prepared. As we look at our own weaknesses, we also cannot comprehend the summit that God has prepared to save this age with. However, if we hold unto the covenant of the gospel of Christ and pray, we can receive strength to stand upon the position of the summit. The summit is a condition of a Remnant who does not waver in the face of problems and enjoys the greatest answers. If we simply have the mystery of pray enjoying God with us, the summit of God will save this age that the summit of the world can never revive.
- I am a Remnant with the gospel; meditate upon that summit of standing before this age that God has prepared.
