corporate seal. This seal is will be crafted with your ministries
name on the seal. We believe that you will be encouraged and proud of what it
represents to you as a fellow Christian believer and the Honor it brings to all
of your organization's required documents bearing it's impression.
We would like to explain the symbolism incorporated within your new Seal to
provide you with insight to its prophetic meaning.
Palm Tree Branch
Branches of palms have been symbolically associated with several different ideas. A palm branch is used in Isa 9:14; 19:15 to signify the "head," the highest of the people, as contrasted with the rush, the "tail," or humblest of the people. Palm branches appear from early times to have been associated with rejoicing. On the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles the Hebrews were commanded to take branches of palms, with other trees, and rejoice before God (Lev 23:40; compare Neh 8:15;). The palm branch still forms the chief feature of the lulabh [which, although properly meaning 'a branch,' or 'palm-branch,' consisted of a myrtle and willow-branch tied together with a palm-branch between them.] carried daily by every pious Jew to the synagogue, during the feast. Later it was connected with the idea of triumph and victory. Simon Maccabaeus entered the Akra at Jerusalem after its capture, "with thanksgiving, and branches of palm trees, and with harps, and cymbals, and with viols, and hymns, and songs: because there was destroyed a great enemy out of Israel" (I Macc 13:51 the King James Version; compare 2 Macc 10:7). The same idea comes out in the use of palm branches by the multitudes who escorted Jesus to Jerusalem (John 12:13) and also in the vision of the "great multitude, which no man could number standing before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands" (Rev 7:9).
The palm is a figure of the righteous enjoying their deserved prosperity (Ps 92:12), doubtless with reference to the greenness of its foliage, its symmetry, its fruit, etc. Palm branches are a symbol of victory (Rev 7:9).
Water Pitcher
The pitcher was an earthenware vessel, with one or two handles, used for carrying water, and commonly borne upon the head or shoulder. It prophetically symbolized that we are all earthen vessels and called to carry forth the water of the Word wherever we go or sojourn.
Words Surrounding the Emblems
Freedom
In the spiritual realm, Jesus explained that when people know the truth, the truth shall set them free (John 8:32). He Himself is the Truth (John 14:6). Jesus also declared that if He, the Son of God, set persons free, they would be truly free (John 8:36). Sin enslaves; Christ sets free. The believer in Jesus is released from the stranglehold of sin.
Authority
Christians are often given certain authority to exercise. This includes the authority of a parent or a church leader. The noblest use of authority is for serving others. "Let ... he who governs," Jesus said, be "as he who serves .... I am among you as the One who serves" (Luke 22:26-27). The Christian who seeks to follow Christ's example will learn to use authority with others, more than over others. The wise Christian remembers that all derived authority will one day be returned to the God who gave it (I Cor 15:24-28). But the rewards of faithful service will endure throughout eternity (I John 2:17).
Leadership
Every Christian has an opportunity to lead in some capacity. No matter where one may be in life, one should diligently use his position to encourage and foster the best qualities in those he enjoins himself to. The qualities of good leadership are demonstrated in a daily regimen of one's ability to provide grace and mercy, love and Godly wisdom towards those under their direction. All Christians are to some extent either in preparation for leadership or functioning in various capacities of leadership or both. It is a high privilege that we handle our office with integrity, dignity and humility. Beyond this, that we may embrace the Lord's leadership in every area of our own life providing access to a full and complete identity exchange in Mm. We shall become examples to all those who follow in the Way, the Truth, the Life!
Corporation Sole
A corporation sole is one consisting of one person only, and his successors in some particular station, who are incorporated by law in order to give them some legal capacities and advantages, particularly that of perpetuity, which in their own natural persons they could not have had. A Corporation Sole formed correctly provides an excellent foundational provision for any church, school or ministry. We name it on our corporate seal because it truly is the superior organizational choice for all Christian structures.
