THE WELCOME ADDRESS/ ANNIVERSARY SPEECH
Today marks a full decade of God’s faithfulness
TSCC is 10!
With a heart full of gratitude, I congratulate every son and daughter of this Commission, every friend, every ministry connected to us, and everyone who is affiliated, associated, or divinely linked to this great move of God.
This Commission The Seraphim Covenant Church is not the brainchild of man’s ambition, but a clear expression of Divine Plan and Order. From inception under a modest roof, to the blossoming work we now behold, the story of TSCC is one that bears the unmistakable fingerprints of God. To Him alone be all the glory!
WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE CELEBRATING TODAY?
The privilege of God’s call : which bestows upon us the honour of service. (Hebrews 5:4, 1 Samuel 9:6)
The unwavering faithfulness of God: the One who calls and also performs. (1 Thessalonians 5:24)
The ever-present help of God: our true Ebenezer. (1 Samuel 7:11–12, Acts 26:22)
The sustaining grace of God: our anchor through every season. (1 Corinthians 15:10, Psalm 84:11)
The abundant goodness of God: which we have tasted and still behold. (Psalm 84:11)
The power and glory of the Lord: evident in our midst. (Psalm 63:1–2, John 2:11)
The fulfilment of God’s promises: none of which has fallen to the ground. (Joshua 21:45, Numbers 23:19)
The Church of Jesus is a living, breathing entity. It was never designed to merely age it is ordained to grow! (Acts 5:14–15)
Indeed, we have seen undeniable growth:
From barren wombs becoming fruitful.
To healings and deliverances.
To quantum leaps in careers.
To tenants becoming proud house owners.
To the massive influx of souls.
To eyes opened, scales falling, and the salvation of many.
No man can take the credit for these. They are the acts of the hand of God at work in our midst.
To our honoured guests and well-wishers, we do not take your presence for granted. We believe that the blessings that come with connecting to this blessed company shall follow you from this day forward!
To our faithful labourers, your sacrifice is seen , not just by men, but by God Himself. There is a reward system in the Kingdom, and rest assured, you are counted in it. I declare that this new season shall mark the beginning of open rewards for you! Your secret prayers, hidden tears, and relentless kingdom service shall be rewarded in the open for all to see and glorify God.
And finally, let it be known: the mandate has not changed.
*T**i gbogbo ifojú ọkàn yóò fi tán láye*
This new season places a demand on us , a higher call to evangelism, deeper kingdom commitment, and unwavering Partnership with God to express his kingdom on earth . As we stay on course, we trust the God of this Commission to continue backing His Word with signs following.
We are aware: There are still many grounds to cover.
We are assured: Our expansion is inevitable.
We are persuaded: The Kingdom of God will find full expression on the earth through us!
Kindly keep us in your prayers and continually support the work , the journey ahead is great, but so is the grace!
Great Grace! Great Power!
Congratulations to us all!
With love,
