July 2021 - Month of Fame on Every Side

From Our Pastor's Desk

Welcome to this our new Month of Fame on Every Side, in Jesus name. 1st Kings 4:31 – “For he was wiser than all men… and his fame was in all nations roundabout” 

To be famous means attaining a state of great reputation, recognition and to be widely known. The fame of Solomon grew and became known because of his wisdom.  

We need to separate the seeking of fame through our own pride and self-glorify from the God-given fame Solomon had through the wisdom God gave him. A desire for fame is not wrong in itself, but the motive matters. 

When we make it our goal to keep our hearts humble before the Lord, He promises to exalt us in His way, in His time. If He can better use us by making us famous, then fame will come our way, like Solomon, Abraham, Daniel, and many others in the scriptures used by God. And, of course, like Jesus.

 Mark 1:28 - “And immediately His fame spread throughout the region around Galilee”  Mercy Seatizens, welcome to July 2021, “Our Month of Fame on every Side”. This month & beyond, may the fame of Christ be reflected in our lives, homes, jobs, friendships, our families, church, and neighbor-hood. By reason of His anointing, the Lord will make us the “sought after”. 

Every garment of shame and reproach is changing to the garment of fame and rejoicing for us, in Jesus Name. Amen.
