January 2021 - Our Month of Greatness & Comfort on Every Side

From Our Pastor's Desk

Welcome to this our new Month of Greatness & Comfort on Every Side, in Jesus name. 

Psalms 71:21 – “Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side” Greatness…then increased greatness, then comfort, not just one-sided, but on every side. This is a blessing-packed Bible verse indeed. 

Dictionaries define greatness with synonyms of large-ness in size, but Biblical greatness is not measured by size or volume of possession. 

Biblical greatness speaks of having a large heart, generous, a heart that is ever willing to give. Greatness makes others great. 

Jesus Himself was a great man not by His material possession but by His material distribution, 

He gave so much, until there was no possession to give, He gave His life. This greatness is not static, it increases. Of Isaac, Gen. 26:13 says “And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great” Isaac increased in greatness. Comfort. A state of calm, peace, consolation, relief and relaxation. 

In times of trouble, loss, grief, pain and distress, we need comfort. The Holy Spirit is our Comforter. He gives us peace & comfort on every side.  Mercy Seatizens, welcome to January, Our Month of Greatness & Comfort on Every Side. 

This month & beyond, God will bless us on every side. The Lord will increase our greatness, enlarge the place of our tents, & comfort us round-about, in Jesus Name. Amen
