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.

In Everything Give Thanks, For…

From Our Pastor's Desk

1st Thessalonians 5:18, “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”

The Bible records many of God’s will for our lives, if we’re wondering. One of them, if not the greatest, is in the scripture above – “in everything, give thanks”. 

We must form the habit of thanksgiving. Habits aren’t created without starting something small first. 

Today, you can begin to create a new habit by doing something small, yet significant right now. 

Take some time to tell God how much you appreciate Him. 

If you start now, it’ll be a habit in no time. Many of us have allowed circumstances to keep us from being thankful. But God’s Word challenges us to be more thankful.

We are to give thanks in everything. We are to thank God no matter what happens in our lives. Don’t just be thankful for what you like about your life. Be thankful for everything. The secret to contentment is being grateful, being thankful. Don’t take things for granted. 

Praise and appreciate the love and kindness of your family and friends. And above all, know this: Thou shall never be an ingrate if you always give God thanks.

"Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name."- Psalm 100:4 Thank you so much, Lord, for everything, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen.

You will have good success this 2022. 

Remain blessed. 

Shalom.

May 2022 - Month of His Will on Earth

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

The will of God includes everything that God desires to happen in heaven and on earth. 

So, in the first part of the “Lord’s Prayer”, Jesus taught the disciples and teaches us to pray that the Father’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 

Matthew 6:10 - “…Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven”. The word for “will” is thelma, which means “what one wishes or has determined will happen.” 

We are to want God to have His desire, His will and His plans fulfilled. Our lives & plans should agree with His will. 

Since we are created by God, therefore, we depend on God to know His will. More precisely, as God reveals Himself in His Word, we can know His will truly. 

We can rest our confidence in knowing the divine will of God to the extent that He has revealed Himself in His Word. For us, defining the will of God involves knowing and applying the written Word of God. 

So, Mercy Seatizens, welcome to May 2022, “Our Month of His Will on Earth”. This month & beyond, no more shall there be any confusion. 

As we seek Him more & meditate on His will as contained in the scriptures, I pray that He will draw us closer to Him & reveal His will more & more unto us, in Jesus Name. Amen.

How Eve Analyzed Satan’s Offer – Taking the Path to Righteousness (Series Part 4)

From Our Pastor’s Desk

Genesis 3:6  And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 

You know, many people think sin looks wrong. But sin always looks right. Looks good. It has appeal, it’s attractive. If sin looked bad, we will not commit it. 

Sin always looks good for food, like something that can satisfy you & your hunger. 

Jesus was tempted, not with snakes, but with bread. Is bread not good? Bread is definitely good. 

What is wrong with turning stones to bread? Nothing. It’s good. It’s sweet. It’s needful. It’s legitimate, You’re hungry, get the food, and eat it. 

That’s how we think. The Bible even says it is God that gives bread to the eater & seed to the sower. Bread is good for food. 

But not all bread are good. Some could be coated with floury, doughy bread, but inside are maggots that can kill. That’s the kind of bread satan tempts with. 

Jesus knew, nothing good can come from satan, from temptation, not even good bread. Only bread of adversity & water of affliction can come from the enemy of our souls. Satan presents sin to look good and attractive.  

As he made the apple from the tree look “good for food” to Eve. Grace to be vigilant & careful of our analysis of tempting offers of sin, the Lord grant unto us indeed, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen. 

You will have good success this 2022. 

Remain blessed.  

Shalom.
