Then the Spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the thirty, [and he said], "We are yours, David, and on your side, you son of Jesse: peace, peace be to you, and peace be to your helpers; for your God helps you." Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.
Cast in your lot with “the Leader and Commander of the people,” who has God with him. It is the glory of Christ's cause that the Lord God is involved in it. Mr. Wesley's dying words were, “The best of all is, God is with us!” As I repeat the truth my heart cries, “Hallelujah! Blessed be the name of the Lord!” The Lord thy God helpeth thee, O Christ of God! The pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in thy hand. Thou must reign”: thy Father swears it to thee. Thou shalt divide a portion with the great, and Thou shalt share the spoil with the strong, for Thou hast given up thy soul unto death, and permitted thy glory to be rolled in the dust; and thou hast risen and gone into the glory; therefore Thou must reign. O Anointed of the Lord, thy throne shall endure forever! Tonight, thy servants salute Thee again, Thou Son of David. Wounded Christ, we lay our fingers in the print of the nails, and say, “My Lord and my God.” Risen Christ, we look upward as the heavens receive Thee, and we adore. Ascended Christ, we fall at thy dear feet, and say, “Thine are we, O Son of David, anointed to be a Prince and a Savior.” Coming Christ, we wait and watch for thine appearing! Come quickly to thine own! Amen and amen.
