The month of July is certainly a time of appreciation. First of all, we appreciate our saved and sanctified status in this chaotic world. God is a refuge, a shelter when we are afraid. Our faith in God as protector will carry us through all the dangers and fears of life. (Psalm 91:1-6) Moreover, we appreciate the Almighty God allowing us to be His instrumentality here in the earth realm. We partner with Him in the Revival and Soul Saving Campaign. We are called upon to pray, pay and witness. When we have done our part, we appreciate the faithfulness of God. “If my people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2 Chr. 7:14) Again, we thank God for, and we appreciate His faithfulness. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13) Also in July, we show in a demonstrative way, our appreciation to God for the Pastor He has given to the church. “And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.” (Jeremiah 3:15) Hear Paul’s instructions to the church at Thessalonica: “And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake.” (1Thess. 5:12, 13a)
Lastly, but certainly not least, collectively, how we appreciate Deacon Leon Moore and the great work he does in the garden. Thank you, Deacon Moore, for the delicious vegetables. They are great!
Be blessed as we walk in Him.
Pastor J. Amos Jones
