From The Pastor’s desk
Beloved,
Greetings of the Realms of God’s Favour to you in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
As we draw closer to the end of this dispensation of the coming of Jesus Christ, I’m so glad we have been enlightened in the Covenant of Abraham. Living in the Covenant distinguishes you. However, it is one thing to know the truth but an entirely different experience to practice the truth. I believe you will be among those who engage in the latter. The Covenant is God making Himself God to you in your generation, as part of His promise to Abraham. Allow Him be God to you.
Now, what is the Holy Spirit saying to us in this eleventh hour of the church calendar year? God is saying to you and me, “COME UP HIGHER”. He is about to launch the church into the Blessing prepared for her before the foundation of the world. Something huge and massive is on the horizon. Remember we are living in the last days of the church: when God will release His best upon His favourites(Beloved). For you and me to be partakers of the Blessing, wisdom justified that we must be prepared to step into it. In Joshua chapter 5, we see the Lord instructing Joshua to prepare the Israelites in Gilgal just before they stepped into their inheritance(the Promise Land).
Joshua 5:2-3,9 AMPC [2] At that time the Lord said to Joshua, Make knives of flint and circumcise the [new generation of] Israelites as before. [3] So Joshua made knives of flint and circumcised the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth. [9] And the Lord said to Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you. So the name of the place is called Gilgal [rolling] to this day. And in 2 Chronicles 27:6 NKJV So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.
Preparation always precedes performance in all aspects of life. This is the winning wisdom in life.
Moses was prepared in the wilderness(Exodus 2 & 3), Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit to fast for 40 days as part of His preparation, Paul was secluded in Arabia where he received instructions for his ministry to the gentiles(Galatians 1:15-17).
So, we can see that preparation is part of God’s plan to bring His people into His will and their inheritance.
Please understand, God is not going to prepare for you. This is your personal and absolute responsibility, which is non transferable. As you decide and commit yourself totally to preparation, God will back you up. Your decision in action will move God to the scene. When your ways are ordered in the sight of the Lord, you are building on the Rock that cannot fail.
Jesus said in: Matthew 7:24-25 NKJV [24]
Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: [25] and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
The doing of God’s instruction leads to blessings from the Lord. Therefore, as we plan and prepare for our annual gathering: The Faith Convention 2023, coming up from November 1-5, 2023, it will be beneficial and profitable to you personally, to take time to prepare before The Lord, as you take minimum five minutes or more to pray for this program daily, for the next 31 days, beginning today. God’s ways are the high ways of life. So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God. 2 Chronicles 27:6
God has not changed, as you prepare your ways before God, you will experience greatness.
Therefore, this October is declared our month of WISDOM FOR PREPARATION and the anchor scriptures are 2 Chronicles 27:6 NKJV and Matthew 7:24-25.
As you put to practice the Word of God’s Wisdom this month and continuously, I decree in the Name of Jesus, whose I am, and whom I serve, you will walk in THE GLORY OF GOD all the days of your life.
Expect Supernatural Intervention.
Until Next Time, Remember, God Is On Your Side!
Yours in Christ,
Benson Oritsejolomisan
