He is Just Wonder-full

From Our Pastor's Desk

Jesus is just Wonder-full. Isaiah 9:6—”...and His name shall be called Won-derful…” Full of wonders.

 Now what are wonders? Simply put, a wonder is something that causes you to wonder. 

In other words, something you see that you open your mouth, in amazement, and you can’t close it. 

In Mark 2:1-12 when they brought a man through the roof and laid him at the feet of Jesus, a man who had been paralyzed from the neck down, Jesus just said "Get up, take your bed and go." and he got up and the people said "What is this? 

We’ve never seen it like this before!" They opened their mouths in wonder, and could not close them.  A wonder is something that causes people to open their mouths and say we have never seen it like this before. 

I believe that God will do something new in the life of somebody today. Our God is a God of wonder. Not only that, He does wonders too. In 2nd Chr.6:18 the Bible says the heaven of heavens cannot contain Him. 

Imagine someone so big that the Heaven of Heavens cannot contain and yet He lives inside a man. I know He lives inside me because in 1 John 4:4 the Bible says, “Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world” Who is in You? 

Something wonderful, amazing is going to happen to you, and you….yes, you too, today, this month, this year & beyond that when friends, relatives, enemies hear about it they will open their mouths, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen. 

You will have good success this 2022.  

Remain blessed.   

Shalom. 

June 2022 - Our Month of His Name on Earth

From our Pastor’s Desk

Welcome to this our new Month of His Name on Earth in Jesus name.  

Matthew 6:9 – “…Hallowed be thy name…” The name of the Lord should be hallowed on earth. Hallow means sanctified, consecrated, exalted.

 Philippians 2: 9-11 says “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a Name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow...And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father”  

God has given Jesus the name that is above every name. Now "highly exalted" denotes an exaltation to the highest position-an elevation above all others. 

The context conveys humiliation that results in honor. 

Jesus' obedience to death is followed by a super exalted position of honor and glory.  Mercy Seatizens, welcome to June 2022, “Our Month of His Name on Earth”. 

There is power  in the name of Jesus. The only way to get saved is by His name. Romans 10:13 says, " All who call on the name will be saved." 

This month, as you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and God has raised Him from the dead and believe in your heart, you will be saved. 

This month, no matter what we’re going through, no matter the situation, we apply the name of Jesus by faith, bringing every knee down, and every power into subjection , in Jesus Name. 

Amen.

The Person Behind the Name

From Our Pastor’s Desk 

Matthew 16:13 –15 “When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14  And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. Then, Jesus made it personal: 15  He saith unto them, But who do you say that I am?” 

That’s the question? This is a very personal question. If Jesus were here physically and asked each of us the same question, what would be our personal responses? 

The question is not who we think Jesus is, or what the world tells us who Jesus is, but rather who is He to us. It was a very personal question. It was not theological exam. 

It was not a pop quiz. It was a personal question that required a commitment on our part, individually. This is our month of His name on earth. 

The name of Jesus is so very powerful, for application. And For us to apply that name effectively, we must know the personality behind that name. The reason some call that name & He doesn’t answer is because, they don’t know the Owner of that name and the Owner doesn’t know them. 

We can attend all the classes, conferences, Bible colleges, seminaries, Sunday Schools, Bible Studies, take notes during sermons (all these are good and important, for we grow through hearing, learning & doing), but in the end, we may not really the very person of Jesus to us.  

Jesus said of the people in Matthew 15:8–9 – “These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips, But their heart is far from me. And in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men”  

The most important question in the whole of our life concerns the Person of Christ. Who is He to you? Do you know the Person behind the name Jesus? 

I decree victory in any and every struggle or battle of life that we may be facing, in that most powerful  name of Jesus, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen. 

You will have good success this 2022. 

Remain blessed.  

Shalom.

Seek God’s Will Daily

From Our Pastor’s Desk

God wants us to know exactly where we're going in life. 

He doesn't want us to stumble around, unsure of whether the steps we are taking are the right ones. 

Instead, He desires that we have crystal-clear spiritual hearing so we can receive specific instructions regarding the path He wants us to take in life. 

In other words, God wants us to stop and ask Him for directions daily!  

Proverbs 3:6 says, “Seek  his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take” 

The will of God for our lives is not something that is handed to us on a silver platter. We must discover what God desires for us to accomplish. 

That means quality time communing with Him and making His Word the final authority in every area of our lives.  

May we hear Him daily, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen. 

You will have good success this 2022. 

Remain blessed.  

Shalom. 

Thy Will Be Done

By Minister Rowan Samuel

This is fact number one - there is a God who sits high and looks low. In fact He looks all around and from His eyes there is no escape. 

And that God has a will; it is described as perfect or permissive. 

Perfect means ideal; permissive not so much. In the “Lord’s prayer” in Matt 6:9-13, it says “thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven”; and while that has not yet happened one day it will. 

If you are a Christian you are extremely rich because your Daddy owns the cattle on a thousand hills. Psalms 50. 

But do not be like the man who God blessed and he only has thought of himself in Luke12:18. 

That man instead of being grateful became a great fool for he was not rich in the things of God and so he died that very night. 

Instead of judging a brother or sister on the street; yes they may use your dollar to buy liquor, but according to Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse he said all I know he is my brother and he is asking, maybe he is perishing. 

Be ready to give and be blessed, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen. 

You will have good success this 2022. 

Remain blessed.  

Shalom.

Occupy Till I Come

From Our Pastor’s Desk

When God created Adam, before this point, the man was empty! 

He was like a newly manufactured computer without any base program/software. He stood before God fresh and empty, ready to receive his marching advance orders. 

God looked at this creation of His, and the first commands He uttered to Adam were: 

 Be fruitful.  

 Multiply.  

 Replenish the earth.  

 Subdue it 

Genesis 1:28 - A nd God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 

These became the four cardinal commands on which the whole of human life would operate for divine occupancy.  

Quite similar to the same command Jesus left us at His home-going: Luke 19:13  A nd he called his ten servants, and delivered them  ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. 

God is telling us in both scriptures to fill & divinely occupy the earth with His Kingdom, full of joy, gladness, the Gospel, thanksgiving, encouragement, hope, voice of melody, harmony, unity, etc 

We receive the fullness of His grace to occupy, be fruitful, multiply, spread, inhabit & leave a legacy that will benefit our generation, full of His glory, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen. 

You will have good success this 2022. 

Remain blessed.  

Shalom.

Thy Will Be Done

By Sis. Marie-Louise Lizima

WINGS Women's Week 2022

Matthew 6:10 – “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”  “Thy will be done” translates into “Lord, let your desire be settled”  

What do we mean when we pray “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven?” We are praying that something will happen that has not yet happened. 

We are praying that God will bring about his heavenly purpose on earth. We are praying that God would use us to do his will. 

When we pray, “Thy will be done,” we acknowledge God’s right to rule.  We do not pray, “My will be done” but “Thy will be done.”   

Asking that God’s will be done is a demonstration of our trust that He knows what is best. It is a statement of sub-mission to God’s ways and His plans.  

We ask for our will to be conformed to His. Praying for the will of God to be done in and through our lives “on earth as it is in heaven”, means that we are willing to go through whatever it takes for His purpose to be accomplished. 

Ending one's prayers by saying 'But thy will not mine be done' strengthens our desire to seek God’s heart and His Kingdom on earth.  

Our prayer is that we want to be so aligned with the will and purpose of God that we ask God to empower us to accomplish it, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen. 

You will have good success this 2022. 

Remain blessed.  

Shalom.
