THE WORD FROM PASTOR’S DESK

IMMANUEL – GOD WITH US (Matt 1:22-23)

There are many names given to Jesus in the Bible. Each one gives us a clearer and fuller picture of who He is and what He means to us. His name JESUS means “God saves!” He is God’s salvation for us. He is the Messiah, the Christ, meaning “Anointed One” – He is our King and Lord. Another name given is IMMANUEL, meaning God is with us.

This is His desire. He wants to be with us, not separated from us. When God created Adam and Eve, He was with them in the Garden of Eden. He walks with them and commune with them, until one day Adam and Eve hide from Him. God did not hide from man; man first hides from God, because man is guilty. They disobeyed and sinned against God. God was the One calling out to Adam and Eve, “Where are you?” (Gen 3:9)

The message of the Bible is not about the desire of man to be with God. It is all about the desire of God to be with man. Moses tells the people, “If …you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for Him with all your heart and with your soul.” (Deut 4:29)

When Joshua took over the leadership from Moses, he was younger and inexperienced but the Lord said, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” (Josh 1:9). Jesus last words with His disciples, after giving them the great commission, were: “Surely I am with you always to the very end of the age.”

This is God’s promise to us today – IMMANUEL, God with us. Jesus promised us the Holy Spirit, who now dwells in our heart. Wherever we are, He is there with us. God is with you all the time. You may not feel His presence, but that doesn’t make it any less true. No one can say he is abandoned in life. God will never abandon you. You don’t have to face anything in 2017 by yourself. But you can if you don’t invite Him into your situation. In tough times, when you lose your job or face financial difficulties, the Lord is still there with you. His name is IMMANUEL, God with us.

Have a blessed Week!

Pastor Enoch Adeboye visits church, explains path to total perfection in Christ

Pastor Enoch Adeboye and his wife, Pastor Folu Adeboye recently visited the RCCG ‘Overcomers’ Assembly,’ where they were warmly received by members of the church, including the Pastor-in-charge of RCCG Region 31, Joseph Adeyokunnu, and his wife, Pastor Felicia Adeyokunnu.

In his sermon titled: “Total Perfection,” Adeboye noted that Christians can tap into God’s perfection by simply heeding to God’s words as written in the Bible.

The General Overseer, who said he was visiting the church for the second time in his life said: “Sharing our message of “Total perfection” we will read from the book of James 1, verse 17, which says, ‘Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and cometh from the father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither a shadow of turning.”

Describing God as a perfect Being, Adeboye said: “Our Lord God is perfect. He is a perfect light; no shadow at all in him. He is perfectly good, perfectly kind, perfectly generous, perfectly loving and everything about him is perfect.”

Speaking on the visit, Pastor Adeyokunnu, who doubles as the Intercontinental Financial Controller of RCCG, said he was highly happy to receive Daddy Adeboye and Mummy G.O.

“my joy knows no bounds. It’s like God himself visiting us. Daddy said that he heard from God to come here. That means we have a divine visitation. Nothing more, coming in the seventh month, the month of perfection, and more importantly in the month of my birt; to me it is a birthday gift.”

He added: “Now, the expectations are high. Daddy said, next week we should give people enough time to give testimonies and I can tell you, it will not wait till next week. From the first day of this week, people will be sending their testimonies and I will be the first to testify.”

The church also used the occasion to celebrate the 76th birthday of Pastor Folu Adeboye (Mummy G.O.). She was showered with heart warming messages as she marked another year.

Pastor’s Thoughts – Pastor Ade Oluwayinka

You are important to God and to us. What you are is God’s gift to you and what you become is your gift to God. We want to take you as you are and help you by his grace to become what God wants you to be. We cannot change what you are but certainly we can be a godly influence in what you become. There are three things to consider:

1. What you become is your choice- there is a power that you have that no man on earth can take from you. It is the power of your will. This confers on you the ability to choose. Your choice is a function of your will. We want you to know from the onset that whatsoever you become in this church or your personal life is primarily your choice.

2. What you become is your responsibility- “But let each one examines his own work and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone and not in another. For each one shall bear his own load”(Gal.6:4-5). Whatever you become, be ready to take responsibility for it. Do not become what you cannot take responsibility for.

3. What you become will affect others- You can motivate and challenge others by what you become. Similarly, you can discourage and embitter others by your life. “Then the Lord said to Satan, have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil”(Job1:8). Like Job, we believe God can be proud of you too.

In becoming what God want you to be, you will need:

1. Consecration- Make or declare yourself sacred because you belong to God.“ I beseech you brethren by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice…….”(Rom12:1). This you will do by daily yielding yourself to God in prayer and in the studying of the Bible.

2. Dedication- By devoting yourself wholeheartedly to God and to His service. This does not imply that you will have to become ordained as a minister; rather it means that God and things of God will take first priority in your heart.

3. Commitment- You will have to engage yourself or be obligated to a specific cause/work in the service of God. Lack of commitment may result in backsliding. Find something in the church to expend your God-given talent on so that you can be a blessing to others.

We stretch our right hand of fellowship to you and invite to come boldly to the throne of grace of God where you can receive mercy and obtain grace that will help you in the time of need. Now is your set time to become what God wants to you to be. I believe strongly that your waiting is over. The time of bad news of pain, disappointments, failures and delays are over. The Lord is eagerly waiting to usher you in to an era of success and cause you to lay hold of the His glorious promises. Now is the time to possess your possession.

Remain blessed.
Pastor Ade Oluwayinka (Head Pastor)
