Last Friday night there were amazing miracles in our midst during our Hunger & Healing Service. The presence and power of God was just beautiful and we thank God for the sweetness of His presence. We will seek Him again this Friday night at 830pm at House of Worship and again on Sunday morning at 1030am. This Sunday we will conduct a consecration as leaders take a stand to be separated unto God for His service. Also new this week is our new church website! It is still under construction and you will notice new features as the days go by.
Destiny Seekers & Snatchers - that was the title of the sermon this past Sunday at HOW. What an amazing thing when people GRAB their God-given purposes by the horns and turn the world around! This week, for the first time in American history, an African American was nominated as a candidate for President of the United States. On Thursday August 28th, the 45th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech, Sen. Obama will accept that nomination. Regardless of political or Christian views, this is an historic occasion that forces me to ask myself these questions: Have I accomplished my dream? Have I snatched my destiny? Has the world experienced me? And now I ask you to ask yourself those questions too.
The world needs more than marches on Washington. The world needs Christians walking in the fullness of our calling and destiny. We can't just go to work, come home, feed our families and attend a service on Sunday. We can't afford to love God one day and not be sure the next. We can't afford to slow down our walk with Him because of difficulties or demands of the workplace. The world needs men and women to take a stand and BE THE LIGHT of the world. We need light in the LEGAL SYSTEM, light in the HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, light in SCHOOLS, light in GOVERNMENT, light in COMMUNITY PROGRAMS, light in the MALL.
There were all kinds of counselors and encouragers along the way, but one day Sen. Obama himself had to make a decision to run for presidency. A decision that has now resulted in history. Let me take you to Bible days when Zelophehad's daughters realized they were losing out on inheritance just because their father didn't have any sons. So they made a decision to approach Moses and plead their case. And guess what? GOD WAS ON THEIR SIDE!! As a result the law was changed, and they obtained their inheritance. Glory to God! During this historic week, make a decision. Make a decision to have an impact. May your workplace change because of you. May your family change because of you. May your church never be the same because of you. May the world around you FEEL YOU this week. Let it start with a decision today. Amen!
