Happy New Year!!
To all our Friends, We wish a Happy and Prosperous New Year!! And our prayer for you is:No evil shall befall You, nor shall any plague come near Your dwelling. For He shall give His angels charge over You, to keep You in all Your ways.
Psalm 91:10,11. Do you know that 2014 New Year day is a Full Moon Day and it signifies a NEW BEGINNING. It is very rare that New Year day falls on a Full moon day! God bless you!!
YOU DO YOUR PART!!
" Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me". 2 Kings 2:9. Many people pray like Elisha, "Lord, give me a double portion of Your anointing". Especially most of us are praying like this during the New Year's service. But we do not realize the preparation that is involved for such a miraculous thing to occur. Elijah and Elisha traveled together and finally they journeyed to the banks of the RIVER JORDAN WHERE THE LORD TESTED ELISHA'S VISION. Was it of man, or of God? The prophet said to the servant, "..ask what shall I do for thee, before I be taken away from thee". Elisha said, "I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me". 2 Kings 2:9. Elijah responded, "Thou hast asked me a hard thing: nevertheless, If thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee". 2 Kings 2:10. In other words, If your vision is clear, and your eyes are on things above, you'll receive it". Habakkuk 2:2 declares "..WRITE THE VISION AND MAKE IT PLAIN". My friend, let me explain to you: There are three keys to seeing a vision fulfilled in the year 2014 for you. 1) It must be plain, meaning a vision cannot be cloudy or full of questions or indecisiveness. 2) You must run to receive it, meaning your prayer life must intensify. Walking is prayer... running is intensified prayer. 3) The vision is for "an appointed time". Wait for it. Never give up. YOUR FAITH IS VITAL FOR THE VISION'S FULFILLMENT. Suddenly, the prophet was raptured- caught up into the heavens! A chariot of fire appeared- yet Elisha could see clearly enough to pick up the mantle that was left behind. Bro: look at him: He walked to the same river where he had seen the prophet Elijah use the mantle to separate the waters. He said,.."where is the Lord God of Elijah"? - and the waters of Jordan were again miraculously parted. Hey, hey, IF YOU HAVE A VISION FOR 2014, DO YOUR PART FOR IT COME TO PASS. I have a news for you "NO MATTER HOW ANOINTED YOU ARE- GOD WILL NOT BRUSH YOUR TEETH! OUCH!

HE WILL DO IT AGAIN!
"And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM" ..Exodus 3:14. When Moses was talking with God, he asked, "What is your name? Who shall I say sent me? God responded, "Tell them, I AM". My friend, as you are going to step in to a New Year 2014, I hear a tone of concern and uncertainties in your voice. I just want you to know that, as a child of God , WE HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO ADD WHATEVER ELSE AFTER THE I AM. HE IS LIGHT, GLORY, REVELATION, BLESSINGS, HEALING, PEACE, ABUNDANCE- ALL THAT WE NEED. He is ever-present, ever-living, no-beginning-with-no-end God. He is the God of the now. Hey, God does not live in eternity- ETERNITY LIVES IN HIM, God does not exist- HE IS EXISTENCE, God does not live- HE IS LIFE. When the angel of God appeared to Mary and said, "Thou shalt call His name Jesus", (Matthew 1:21) the Greek used here implies something most revealing. It implies that He already had a name- JEHOVAH- but that we are to call Him Jesus. Jesus said " ..and lo, I am with you alway, EVEN unto the end of the world" Matthew: 28:20. JESUS IS JEHOVAH. Every time you say that name, you are bringing Jehovah on the scene. Every time you say the name of Jesus, you bring the fulness of Jehovah down to earth. EVERY TIME YOU SAY JESUS, YOU MOVE OUT OF TIME INTO ETERNITY. And every time you worship him with "HALLELUJAH", you are singing in Hebrew, "Praise Jehovah". So let us enter into the NEW YEAR with Hallelujah, our God is with us. Bro: let me ask you something? Who took care of the things worried you "a year ago, a month ago, a week ago, and yesterday? HE WILL DO IT AGAIN!!!!!!

Arise and Shine!!
"..but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" Philippians 3:13-14. I have been asked many times by those who are hurting, "Do you think God has given up on me?" Or, " Is it too late to make something of my life?" My friend, I know that you fear that you have failed too miserably and have forfeited your God appointed destiny. I have found this fear prevalent across socioeconomic, ethnic, gender and political lines. Oh yeah, You've made bad decisions and you're trying to overcome a series of mistakes, sins, failures, and disappointments. But, YOU MUST REMEMBER, the final whistle has not yet been blown on your life. Hey, if you are still here, then God still has a plan for you. And it's a good plan, filled with both a future and hope. The good news is that when you walk with God, your past doesn't have to define your future. Our God has always used "broken vessels" to accomplish His purpose on the earth. You remember, how it wasn't too late for Moses, a murderer whom God used to deliver the Hebrew children..how it wasn't too late for Jacob, a liar and a trickster whom God used to fulfill His promise to Abraham..how it wasn't too late for Rahab, a harlot whom God used in the messianic family tree. Well, how about David, Jeremiah, Peter, Paul etc. Bro: one of the greatest ways that Satan keeps the body of Christ (that's YOU) from moving forward is by keeping each of us looking back at our mistakes or failures. Or having a pity party about our current situations. But I don't want you to fall prey to this schemes of the enemy any longer! We need you, church needs you, God wants you, your children need you. Rise up!! Arise and shine, your light has come! You'll hear me!!
