When Goliath called and challenge the children of Israel to come and fight him
No man wanted to fight him, because he was so big and strong and had a reputation

They never knew the Lord or the power of his might

They were walking by sight, not by faith

But little young David knew the power of the Lord

They that know their God shall be strong and do exploits

David knew and had already proven the power of his God

That’s why he could confidently say to the Giant; I come against you in the name of the Lord

When all the people where looking at the size of the giant, little David was looking above at the size of his Lord who he knew was a greater power

Take your eyes off of people and situations
And instead look above to the power of the Lord to whom all power has been given

Learn to walk in the power of the Spirit, and take your eyes off worldly flesh and giants and impossible situations and put them upon the Lord who is above all

For he has the power, the Spirit of the Lord is power from God, he can make imposibilitys easily become possible

He can make a way when there seems to be no way

This has been proven over and over
In the word of God through the power of the Lord who Is the same today, yesterday and forever

Time to start believing
And exercise God pleasing faith

There is nobody better than to please Almighty God

When you please God
He will also please you

Be blessed continue to trust in the Lord and the power of his word

SERVICE AND STEWARDSHIP | 1 Peter 4:10 |
====================

Greetings today the month of JUNE,

As we step into this beautiful month of June, we are reminded of the profound themes of SERVICE AND STEWARDSHIP. This month, we are called to reflect deeply on the essence of our faith, anchored in love, humility, and the spirit of service.

The scripture tells us in 1 Peter 4:10, "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." This powerful verse reminds us that we are all endowed with unique gifts and talents, not for our own glory, but to serve and uplift those around us. It is in serving others that we truly reflect the love and grace of our Lord.

Furthermore, Jesus Himself set the ultimate example of service and humility. In Matthew 20:26-28, He teaches, "Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave—just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Jesus, the King of Kings, chose the path of a servant, demonstrating that true greatness lies in our willingness to serve others selflessly.

This month, let us be inspired and empowered by these teachings. Let us embrace the heart of a servant, seeking opportunities to extend a helping hand, a listening ear, and a compassionate heart. Whether it's within our church, our communities, or even in our own homes, there are countless ways we can embody the spirit of service.

Let us also remember the words of Galatians 6:9, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Our acts of service, no matter how small, have the power to make a significant impact. They are seeds of love that will grow and flourish, transforming lives and glorifying God.

As we journey together through this month, may we support and encourage one another in our endeavors. May our hearts be filled with the joy that comes from giving and serving, knowing that we are fulfilling God’s purpose for our lives.

Join us in making June a month of profound service and stewardship. Share your stories, your experiences, and let’s inspire each other to live out these beautiful principles every day.

Have a Blessed month of JUNE,

The Story of Joseph | A Model of Holiness | Practical Application

A LIVING SACRIFICE - Romans 12:1-2 |
=============
Holiness means being set apart for God, living a life that reflects His character. It involves moral purity, spiritual dedication, and a commitment to God's will. Holiness is essential because it aligns us with God's nature and enables us to fulfil His purposes.

To live as living sacrifices, we must prioritise spiritual disciplines such as prayer, Bible study, and worship. Regular engagement with God's Word renews our minds and shapes our character, enabling us to live holy lives.

1. Joseph's Early Life
Joseph's story, found in Genesis 37-50, provides a compelling example of holiness in action. As a young man, Joseph was favoured by his father but despised by his brothers. Despite their jealousy and betrayal, Joseph remained faithful to God.

2. Integrity and Faithfulness
Joseph's journey to Egypt and his time as a slave and prisoner demonstrate his unwavering commitment to holiness. In Genesis 39:2-3, we read: "The Lord was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. When his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did."

Joseph's integrity and faithfulness to God set him apart, even in the most challenging circumstances. He resisted temptation, maintained his moral integrity, and trusted God's plan.

3. Forgiveness and Restoration
Joseph's holiness is further exemplified in his response to his brothers. In Genesis 50:20, he says, "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." Joseph's ability to forgive and see God's hand in his suffering highlights the power of holiness to bring

PRACTICAL STEPS TO HOLINESS
====================

1. Daily Commitment:
Dedicate time each day for prayer and Bible study. This strengthens your relationship with God and renews your mind.

2. Community Support:
Find accountability partners within your faith community to encourage and support you.

3. Forgiveness and Love:
Follow Joseph’s example by forgiving those who have wronged you and trusting in God’s greater plan.

4. Spiritual Disciplines:
Engage in acts of service and worship, drawing closer to God and reflecting His character.

Holiness is not about perfection but about continuous growth and alignment with God's character.

Let’s embrace this call with daily commitment and a heart open to the Holy Spirit’s leading.

Be Blessed Saints

ALL THINGS NEW IN CHRIST JESUS | 2 Corinthians 5:17

| The Call To Holiness

Greetings Beloved,

Today, we continue to explore this beautiful and transformative theme: The Call to Holiness. Drawing inspiration from the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly, and anchoring our thoughts in the powerful Scriptures 2 Corinthians 5:17 and Romans 12:1-2, we uncover the profound journey God calls us to.

THE METAMORPHOSIS | A Journey of Transformation
================
Think of a caterpillar. It starts its life crawling on the ground, limited and earthbound. But through an incredible process, it transforms into a magnificent butterfly, soaring freely in the skies. This metamorphosis is a powerful symbol of our spiritual journey. Just as the caterpillar must go through a period of transformation in the chrysalis, we too must undergo spiritual renewal to emerge as new creations in Christ.

[2 Corinthians 5:17]

Tells us; "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" This verse reminds us that accepting Christ initiates a profound transformation within us. We shed our old, sinful nature and embrace a new life of holiness and purpose.

THE CALL TO TRANSFORMATION | Romans 12:1-2
===========================
The scripture states, "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

These verses highlight two critical aspects of our journey:

1. Living Sacrifices:

Just as the caterpillar must surrender to the chrysalis, we are called to offer ourselves fully to God. This involves dedicating every aspect of our lives to His service.

2. Renewal of the Mind:

Transformation begins within. By aligning our thoughts with God’s Word, we break free from worldly patterns and discern His perfect will for our lives.

MESSAGE TODAY
=============
Beloved, the call to holiness is a profound journey of transformation. Just as the caterpillar emerges as a butterfly, we too are called to shed our old selves and embrace the new life Christ offers. Through daily commitment, community support, and the renewing of our minds, we can live lives that reflect God’s glory.

Let us embrace this call with joy and determination, confident in His promise to complete the good work He has begun in us.

Blessings to you all as we continue this sacred journey together.
