From The Pastor’s desk 

Beloved,

I bring greetings of “Helped By God” to you in the Name of Jesus. We thank God for the impartation of the spirit of Stewardship upon us.
What is the Holy Ghost saying for the month of March 2025?
Every child of God is involved in spiritual warfare. Whether you know it or not, you are in a spiritual war. Ephesians 6:12. The war is intensifying as this dispensation comes to a close. Unfortunately, many believers who are not aware of this battle between light and the host of darkness are falling victim to this wicked enemy called satan, the man of sin or lawlessness. 2 Thessalonians 2:2-3. 

Where do we stand in this warfare? Understand, that whenever light steps in, darkness steps out without any contention, Isaiah 60:1-3 and John 1:1-5. Light is the only weapon that dispels darkness effortlessly. From the scriptures, we understand that sin is a weapon of darkness, and its mission in this warfare is to hold God’s people bound in darkness leading to where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 8:12.

But here is the good news. When Jesus on the cross said IT IS FINISHED (John 19:30), sin lost its power. Then He died, was buried and resurrected from the grave. At that instant, the dominion of sin over humanity was forever crushed (Colossians 2:13-15). There and then, the root cause of sin was destroyed 1 John 3:7-8Therefore, a believer now chooses to yield himself or herself as a servant of sin or righteousness, Romans 6:16-19. By redemption, sin has been reduced to a choice in a believer’s life, 1 John 3:3 and 1 Timothy 2:19-21. Sin has no more dominion over the life of the redeemed as we engage the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus, Romans 6:14 and Romans 8:1-5.
Please understand that no one can ever dominate what he does not despise. Numbers 13:32-33 and Daniel 3:17-28If one is held by the grip of sin, true repentance is the only way to have our sins forgiven and get back on track with God 1 John 1:8-10.

Importantly, a commitment to living a sanctified life makes one a victor in this ongoing invisible warfare. It is also the covenant channel to possessing our possessions in the kingdom, Obadiah 1:17 and Acts 20:32.
Note that the choice we make is absolutely our responsibility because God will never force His will on anyone, Deuteronomy 30:19.

In conclusion, just as salvation cannot be forced on anyone, sanctification cannot be forced on any believer. If God cannot force His choice on us, how can the devil succeed in doing so? Ephesians 4:27 and James 4:7

We must stop shifting blame, it is high time we take responsibility for the future and eternity we look forward to. 2 Timothy 4:6-8

Therefore, the spiritual focus for the month is “SANCTIFICATION, THE GATEWAY TO MY INHERITANCE”. The anchor scripture is Acts. 20:32.

Until Next Time, Remember That God Is on Your Side and JESUS IS LORD!

Yours in Christ,


Benson Oritsejolomisan
