GOD make me YOUR Channel of blessings here on Earth as YOU are a Channel of blessings to me. Thank you LORD for I have humbly prayed in JESUS MIGHTY Name. AMEN
In the four books that make up the heart of the divine revelation—Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians—Paul opens the veil to show us who Christ is and what Christ is. Christ is all-inclusive and all-extensive, the reality of every positive thing in the universe. He is the reality of God, man, eternity, light, and life. We simply do not have adequate words to declare who and what Christ is.
What was the extent of your knowledge of Christ before the books of Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians were opened to you in the Lord’s recovery? Perhaps you knew only that Christ is the Son of God sent by the Father in His mercy to die on the cross for the salvation of sinners. You knew that He was born of a virgin, that He died on the cross, that He was raised from among the dead, and that He was exalted to the heavens. You believed in Him as your dear Redeemer and precious Savior, and in this way you were saved. Then you realized that you need Him to help you live in such a way as to glorify the Father. It is good to know Christ in this way, but this knowledge of Him is far too limited.
Hymns 268 and 630 were written and composed by two women who lived around the same time and were both associated with the Keswick Convention in Northern England.
Mary E. Maxwell was born in 1846, in Islington, London, England. She was the eldest daughter of H. W. Dobell of Eltham, London. (Her mother‘s maiden name was Smith). Mary married William Maxwell on February 13, 1873, in Eltham Congregational Church. She died on March 24, 1936, Eastbourne, Sussex, England. Mary Maxwell is associated with the Keswick Convention and is credited for producing various hymn-tunes.
The tune (Channels) for “Channels Only” (268) was however composed by Ada Rose Gibbs who was born Oct. 5, 1863, at Whitechapel in London, England.
Ada’s parents were George Edward Rose and Erllen S. Reeve Rose. Ada sang at City Temple, Holborn, London and studied at the Royal Academy of Music, London for five years. She began working for the Salvation Army in 1890. She also sang for Dwight Moody’s evangelistic missions, and was part of the Keswick Convention movement. Her husband was William J. Gibbs, a former superintendent of the Methodist Central Hall in Kent. They married on August of 1898, in Islington, London. Ada Gibbs died on April 16, 1905.
The hymn first appeared in a 1900s booklet entitled “Twenty-Four Gems of Sacred Song” edited by Mrs. Gibbs who provided the music published for the Keswick Convention.
This hymn is based on 2 Tim. 2:21 “A vessel unto honor…. fit for the Master’s use. ”
From stanza one we learn that we must be saved, cleansed, and filled with Christ.
From stanza two, we must tell others of God’s salvation.
From stanza three, we see that we must look to Christ in order to be emptied, cleansed and filled with His Spirit of power to carry out His Economy (command as stated in the text).
From stanza four, we must allow Christ to save us and possess us fully.
Stanza five admonishes us to be filled with Christ, surrender our hearts to Him that the streams of living water may flow.
The chorus is a prayer, asking the Lord for help and direction to apply these principles in our lives.
This is the highest calling …. for us to serve God as “Channels Only. ”
This song has been my mum's favorite hymn and I remember vividly listening to her sing this song over and over again while growing up. It just came to mind and as I googled a line of the song, it popped up.
I just came back from the hospital for a bacteria infection treatment, as I lay down on my bed this hymn keeps coming to my heart.
How I praise Thee, precious Savior,
That Thy love laid hold of me;
Thou hast saved and cleansed and filled me,
That I might Thy channel be.
Oh Lord thank you for touching me.
I am grateful father.
How I praise Thee, precious Savior, That Thy love laid hold of me;
Thou hast saved and cleansed and filled me, That I might Thy channel be.
Lord, we take You as our King to be under Your ruling and enjoy You as our blessing. You are our unique and all-inclusive blessing and we enjoy You as our portion for our enjoyment. Make us those who are channel of blessings for others to grow and enjoy the Lord!
I remember the chorus differently
channels only blessed Master
But with all thy wondrous power
Flowing through us Thou canst use us
Every day and every hour
Thank God, l got this again. This song has been so much impressed in my heart. l decided to goggle it, thank God for the song. lt is such an inspirational song that brings revival to me personal .
We are not in a movement. According to Hymns, #268, we are channels for God's Spirit to flow through us into others. If we visit the new ones in their homes every week, what is deposited into them will be with them for the rest of their lives. Even if we answer their questions with a few simple sentences, our answer will remain in the deepest part of their being. They may ask a simple question about dealing with their parents; if we are weighty, even a simple response will give them a deep impression. Our response will change their human life. This is what we must give people when we contact them through door-knocking. We must be prepared to do this.
