The Logo of Logos

UV 1060/10,000 The Logo of Logos

And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.


Zechariah 9 v 16


The people of God are His sheep. We have not made ourselves but the Lord God has made us. We cannot save ourselves. He alone can save us from the day of judgement. Though we have many flaws like the blemishes on a stone, we will escape the judgement and the Lord will assess us like a merchant of precious stones evaluates the beauty of the stones in his hand. His grace and love will make our blemishes as of no effect. We are precious to the Lord. We are beautiful in His sight. He takes great pleasure in holding us in His hand. As a good shepherd who loves his sheep, He has wrapped us around His shoulders. He has made us as a royal scepter set with diamonds and precious stones. He knows we have gone through a lot of heat and pressure of trials and tribulations but our faith has not flagged or weakened. We have therefore become a flag or a banner of victory for the Kingdom of God. He has raised us up to be a royal ensign or a bearer of the standard of the Lord. People of all nations shall see this ensign and come to it that they too be blessed to be the jewels in the crown of the Lord. We who believe are the inheritors of His showers of blessings on earth and His kingdom glory and power forever.

The ensign refers to the victory banner or flag with a logo of a crown symbolizing the majesty, the beauty, the power, the greatness of the Lord. The ensign lifted up is to indicate that He will bless us in all domains of life. We will be symbols in the land of Jehovah Nissi, the God of Victory who gives us victory in all our struggles. He is the lion who is leading the army of sheep, harmless, meek, obedient, trusting and vulnerable by themselves but mighty in and with the Lord. We shall stand and feed on the strength of the Lord. We shall stand in the majesty of His name. His name shall be great unto the ends of the earth and we are the letters of that great name. We are the logo of Logos, the Word. We are known by God by our names, our attributes and our personal features. We will not lord it over the flock of God but be examples of service and humility. On the day He comes for judgement and for rewards, He will give us a crown of glory that will never fade.

The Lord will reveal or manifest His goodness, His greatness, His beauty, His justice and His mercy in the lives of His people, those who believe, trust and follow Him wholeheartedly and do not swerve to the right or left. They do not rebel against His Word. They love to hear His voice and obey it. We need to fully believe the Lord to live fully. We are not pastors who live in the past but live in the present moment, feeding on the pasture He leads us to, knowing that the pasture on the other side of this life is far greener. He will vindicate us when the predators attack us. On that day, we will remember this promise of the Lord and we will rejoice as Miriam rejoiced when the Red Sea that parted for the Israelites drowned the ensign and the troops of Pharaoh. As the eyes of the seemingly hapless people of Israel focused on the Lord, He turned the entire people into the mighty sword or weapon of a warrior. The only ensign or standard to which the unarmed people of Israel could turn to as they were pursued by the powerful Egyptian cavalry was the Name of the Lord. Whenever we kneel and pray, when we acknowledge His Name, we are lifting the royal and holy ensign of the Lord and the angels of the Lord of the hosts of Heaven rush to our aid.
