January 2022 - Month of Heaven on Earth

 From Our Pastor's Desk

Welcome to this our new Month of Heaven on Earth, in Jesus name. Quite often the Heavens decide to visit earth. But not many experience the visitation. 

It is God’s desire that His Heavenly Kingdom takes over the worldly kingdom here on earth. 

Jesus told us in His model prayer in Matthew 6:9-10 - “…Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven” 

God’s eventual purpose is to bring His kingdom to earth, not people going to heaven is the priority, though eventual. 

His purpose is for heaven to come down, so that the culture of heaven, language, dress code, habits, nature of heaven’s community, host of heaven, be reflected on earth.  

When heaven comes down, the glory of the Lord comes down. After Solomon built the temple and prayed for the Lord’s presence, for Heaven to come down 1st Kings 8:10-11 – “...that the cloud filled the house of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD”  

I’m sure we all dream and desire to witness the glory of the Lord. We read the scriptures hungrily to find hope of realizing the dream of seeing His glory manifest.  

Mercy Seatizens, welcome to January 2022, Our Month of Heaven on Earth. As we desire a taste of heaven this month, I pray that Heaven will come down and His glory will manifest and fill all of our lives, in Jesus Name  in Jesus Name. Amen.
