Pastor's Desk - April 2022

The month of 'Host God's Presence 2' - 1. John 5:1-21

Psalm 18:46-48 (NLT) says, “The Lord lives! Praise to my rock. May the God of my salvation (deliverance) be exalted!” The Passion Translation puts it this way (v47-48),” Yahweh lives! Praise is lifted high to the unshakable God! Towering over all, my Saviour God is worthy to be praised! Look how he pays back harm to all who harm me subduing all who harm me, subduing all who come against me. He rescues me from my enemies; he lifts me up high and keeps me out of reach, far from the grasp of violent foe.” Ladies and gentlemen, I pray, like Apostle Paul to the Ephesians Church, for you that You will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’s power made available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through you. This is the mighty power that was released when God raised Christ from the dead and exalted Him – He seated Him (enthroned) to the place of highest honour and supreme authority (at His right hand) in heavenly realm. And now He is exalted as first above every ruler, authority, government, and realm of power in existence. He is gloriously enthroned over every name that is ever praised, not only in this age (universe), but in the age that is coming.” Ephesians 1:19-25. Brethren, there is nothing too difficult for Him to do; as You decide to Host God’s Presence with reverence, Yahweh, The Formidable Force dwells in You. The world fears the power of the atom, nuclear weapons, Covid-19-21, yet we belong to the God of the universe, Who not only created all things but raised Jesus Christ from the dead. God’s incomparably great power is available to help you. Christ is now the head of the Church, the ultimate authority over the world. Jesus is the Messiah, God’s Anointed One, the one Israel longed for, the

One Who would set theirs and our broken world right. As believers in Christ Jesus, we can be confident that God has won the final victory and is in control of everything. Therefore, we need not fear any dictator or nation or even death or satan himself. It is signed, sealed and done; we are just waiting for the delivery. Apostle Paul says in Romans 8: 37-38 that nothing can separate us from God, His love and His resurrection power. I pray for you that as Yon host His presence, nothing can separate You from God’s wraparound love and you will continuously operate far above principalities and powers not only in this life but also in that which is to come – praise the names of te Living God. The Lord lives, let us praise Him with understanding and reverence and revival will flow in us, family, church family, community and the nation at large. Happy new month of April and hosting God’s Presence Part 2. Flow in the power of the Almighty far above authorities, ruler, powers, forces, because He who is in you – The Formidable Force lives, get ready for a fresh outpouring of His Spirit.
