From The Pastor’s desk
Beloved,
I bring you greetings in the Realms of God’s Favour, in the Name of Jesus. Amen. I believe that your heart is now genuinely engaged in the service of Christ and the advancement of God’s kingdom.
On a daily basis lift up God’s Kingdom with your prayer and reach out to souls. Remember, the one that seeks or serves the Lord shall not lack any good thing; as recorded in Psalm 34:10.
Now, what is God saying to us concerning March 2023?
The world is experiencing some very tough times this first quarter of the year. Price of commodities have increased. The interest rate on mortgages have increased severally between last year and now. Are we in a recession? Some say yes, and some say no.
Besides the financial difficulties, bad and disturbing news are on the rise.
But I bring you good news! The Lord will have me say to you: Have No Fear, 2023 Will Be A Wonderful Year!
Isaiah 41:10 AMPC
Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice.
Look at it: FEAR NOT! [There is nothing to fear!] For I [the ALMIGHTY GOD, who is MORE THAN ENOUGH] am with you”!
He has also said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5).
Because of who we are and Who is with us, we are NOT to live in fear like the world. Why? We have been EXEMPTED from …the darkness that covers the earth, and deep darkness the people Isaiah 60:2.
Too many Christians have become “numb” to average living. Like the world, they accept that average living, living from pay check to pay check, or living in debt is normal and okay. This is a wrong notion.
As recorded in the Book of Genesis, when there was economic hardship in Egypt, to the extent that citizens were offering themselves for sale in exchange for food, the Israelites at the same time were having a different experience as they prospered and multiplied.
Genesis 47:27 NKJV
So Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions there and grew and multiplied exceedingly.
And from Exodus chapter 8 to 12 God made it clear that He had a different agenda for His people, as He exempted His people from the plagues that destroyed the Egyptians.
We have God’s WORD that we shall be treated like the Israelites: only in a better way.
Galatians 4:28 NKJV
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
Hebrews 8:6 NKJV
But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
Now, by redemption we have been exempted from the Babylonian system that controls and rules the world. The Father has made adequate provision in the Word for you and me to live above the worldly realm.
2 Peter 1:2-4 NKJV
[2] Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,
[3] as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,
[4] by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
By His knowledge, we shall exercise our rights of exemption from the hash economic climate upon the nations and live in the Blessing of Abraham, in the Name of Jesus Christ.
Therefore, this March is declared our month of EXEMPTION and the anchor scripture is 2 Peter 1:3.
In the Name of Jesus Christ, whose I am and whom I serve, I declare that you and your household are exempted from the from economic hardship and every form of darkness upon this earth. Amen.
Until Next Time, remember, God Is On Your Side!
Yours in Christ,
Benson Oritsejolomisan
