APOSTOLIC CHRISTIAN CHURCH MISSION 2026 MOTHERING SUNDAY PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE
DATE:15TH MARCH 2026
TOPIC:FOCUS ON YOUR DIVINE PURPOSE
I want to begin by craving for your indulgence to join me in one of my husband's (Bishop J.U Esinna) favorite songs that says: "Guzoro n'okporo uzo ebighebi,juo ajuju uzo Nna gi ha gara,ije ije n'ime ya iga enwe nmeri,iga eketa okpu eze nke Jisos n'enye"
Now let's begin by reading the book of Colossians 3:23-24. And it says:" whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ (Colossians 3:23-24).
A lot of people, especially women in our church, allow themselves to be distracted. They get caught up in the business of life, petty worries, and worldly pursuits. Before they realize it, they've veered off course from God's divine purpose. Distractions can cause you to lose sight of what truly matters. They pull you away from your God-given assignment. So, stay alert and refuse to be distracted.
As a woman, or deaconess in ACCM,God has planned a specific work for you to do. There's a divine assignment with your name on it. If you neglect it, you will have to give account to Him. So stay focused on your purpose. The Lord Jesus said, ".My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work" (John 4:34). "I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work" (John 9:4).
My humble question for you today is "Are you doing the Father's work? Is it your goal to finish your assignment, to fulfil your ministry in the Gospel? Why not learn from some virtuous women like deaconess Dorcas, deaconess Ruth,deaconess Esther and others who had the same mindset as the Lord Jesus; they refused every form of distraction and stayed focused on their God given assignments.
In Philippians 3:13-14, Paul said and I quote "this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
In Hebrews 12:1, he gave an important admonition which apparently was a hallmark of his own life. He said, "let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." At the end, he said, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith" (2 Timothy 4:7).
That's what truly matters.
Therefore brethren, be mindful of your divine purpose and responsibilities. Be faithful and diligent in the things God has asked you to do. You have a role to do in your personal work with God in Accm, so set your eyes on the goal, run your race with perseverance and finish your course with joy. Praise God!
May I also advise you not to allow the politics in the church, especially from men who calls white black, due to selfish interest and personal gain to distract you, stay on the truth,be firm,be courageous and be FOCUSED,just as our February topic says.I pray that God Almighty Who has kept me alive,healthy and hearty all these while will keep you safe and sound, blessed and prosperous, but above all, empower you to do His will and to FOCUS ON YOUR DIVINE Purpose, IN JESUS MIGHTY Name, AMEN
