Men Walking Like Trees

By Pastor 'Deji Adewale.

Mark 8: 24-25 – “And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly”

The above text is about a blind man in Bethesda whose friends took to Jesus to be healed. They begged Jesus to touch their friend. They were sure a touch by the Son of God was enough to cause their friend’s cure.

Jesus, as was (and still is) His custom, to these men’s request. He led the blind man out of the town, spat on his eyes and put his hands upon him. He then asked the man if he saw anything. Yes, he did see something – men walking like trees.  What a miracle, you would say? Was that the BEST for the man? No!

Even though this experience was clearly a remarkable improvement in the blind man’s condition, it was definitely not the best thing that could happen to him.

His sight improved but it wasn’t perfect. The God of Perfection had not finished His work on him. Our God is not only a perfect God, but what He does is perfect. He perfects healing, gives perfect gifts and expects His instructions to be followed perfectly.

His blessings are complete, precise, accurate and perfect. Infallible, flawless, faultless, errorless, immaculate, impeccable, unadulterated…

You will have good success this 2017.

Remain blessed.

Shalom.

Happy New Year - From Our Pastor's Desk

By: Pastor 'Deji Adewale

January 2017 Our Month of Divine Perfection.

Welcome to this our new Month of Divine Perfection, in Jesus name.

Perfect means being complete, & without defect or blemish. Precisely accurate or exact. Flawless.

Psalms 138:8 – “The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me...” This is God’s promise to YOU, as a heavenly-minded believer that everything concerning you will be perfected, complete without any flaw. It is God Himself that promised, not you, not your Pastor, not your parents, husband/wife, not by your works, strength, gifts, talents, power, intellect, wisdom, not by your logic.

It is the Lord who has begun the good work within you; it is He who has carried it on; & it is He that will complete & perfect all that concerns you. The Lord also intends to perfect you. Yes, YOU! Not only the things concerning you, but also you, yourself.

The Psalmist says in Psalms 18:32 – “It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect” God desires that your character be perfect, your relationship with Him be perfect.

In this Month of Divine Perfection,  He will most assuredly, beyond a doubt, bring to perfection your faith, your character.  He will perfect His purpose in your life. He will perfect your calling;

He will perfect your future. He will perfect His promises concerning you. He will perfect your spirit, body and soul.  Be blessed this month.

You shall be “…perfect and entire, wanting nothing”, in Jesus Name. Amen.

Polished Daughters

By Sis Adetola Akinseye

Psalm 144:12: “That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace”

When some- thing is polished, it  means it is smooth and  glossy, refined, cultured or elegant, flawless, skillful and excellent.  Having the right heart will help us to be relevant in life and in ministry.

We should understand and know the difference between being a good woman and being a great woman.  You should not use outward aids to make yourselves beautiful, such as the way you fix your hair, or the jewelry you put on, or the dresses you wear. Instead, your beauty should consist of your beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit.

Having a right heart means a change must occur from your inside before it can manifest to the outside. God is more interested in you being transformed from the inside out.

You will have good success this 2016.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.
