Mr. Sylvester Ebey released the Christian Walk Bible after a spirit-filled prayer beseeching God to use it to lead people unto holiness and prepare them for the second coming of Jesus Christ. However, my heart yearned to dedicate the Christian Walk Bible in His Holy presence with the grandeur and magnificence, reminiscing and representing our 2000-year old Christian tradition and culture as well, one that would be remembered for a whole lifetime. I was praying that the Almighty God send His chosen servant for this great event.<\/p>\n<p>And miraculously God sent Senior Bishop H.G. Joseph Koorilos, the head of the Independent Syrian Church for the occasion. His Grace ceremoniously dedicated &#8216;The Christian Walk Bible&#8217; before His holy presence amidst the Holy Mass on the dawn of August 1<sup>st<\/sup>, 2009. Celebrating and holding the Christian Walk Bible high, His Grace ceremoniously led a procession of acolytes, who along with the congregation were singing praises and prayers to the Almighty God who made this Bible possible. Special prayers were made by His Grace raising\u00a0&#8216;The Christian Walk Bible&#8217;\u00a0high in the air, making the sign of the cross. Later His Grace described this ceremony as one of the most auspicious and sacred privileges God had granted him, as such occasions were almost nil or very rare in the\u00a0history of many ancient churches.<\/p>\n<p>Thus the Almighty God in His mercy granted us &#8211; maybe once-a-lifetime privilege to celebrate the dedication of His Word\u009d in His glorious presence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In God will I praise his Word: in the Lord will I praise his Word (Ps 56:10)\u00a0 Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord!(Ps 150:6)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Christian Walk Bible was dedicated to the international community on 12th July, 2009 at the ICRS, Denver amidst a gathering of luminaries involved or associated with the spread of&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reaching-god.com\/?p=72\">Read more &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[38,36],"tags":[4,15,13],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.reaching-god.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.reaching-god.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.reaching-god.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.reaching-god.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.reaching-god.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=72"}],"version-history":[{"count":31,"href":"http:\/\/www.reaching-god.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":348,"href":"http:\/\/www.reaching-god.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72\/revisions\/348"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.reaching-god.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=72"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.reaching-god.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=72"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.reaching-god.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=72"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
