From The Pastor’s Desk
Beloved,
I bring you Helped By God greetings in the Name of Jesus.
I believe that with gratitude in your heart and praise on your lips to the Almighty God, you are bound to enjoy the blessings of the Lord. Do not stop praising Him. Praise will always hasten the Hand of God in your favour.
But what is the Holy Spirit saying to us, as individuals and a church, for the month of MAY 2025?
The Word of God tells us, “that in the last days will come (set in) perilous times of great stress and trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear]” (2 Timothy 3:1 AMPC). It is time for the Body of Christ to refresh our knowledge of the Covenant, especially in the arena of the Ways and thoughts of God. God’s Word, as contained in the Bible, are more than words. They are carriers of the life of God. In them are the ways of God. No man ever walked in the ways of God and ended up a failure. This Way is superior and it is failure-proof in all aspects of life. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:9. Also, in the Book of Proverbs 3:17, the ways of this Wisdom “…are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace”.
Furthermore, the ways of God are the wisdom of God. To walk in the way is to walk in the wisdom of God, as demonstrated by many men and women in the Bible who exceeded the results of a normal life by simply walking in the superior ways of life. Concerning David, the scripture says, “…but my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of the angel of God, to know everything that is in the earth.” 2 Samuel 14:20. The Word of God, which are the ways of God, is referred to as the Wisdom of God. Luke 11:49. Christ Jesus, the resurrected Lord, is also called the Power and the Wisdom of God. 1 Corinthians 1:24.
Finally, accessing the wisdom of God is beyond reading the Bible. The Word says in Proverbs 1:7 NKJV, The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
We cross the threshold of true knowledge when we live in obedient devotion to God. WHICH INCLUDES SUBMISSION, AWE, WORSHIP, AND REVERENCE. YOU WILL PASS FROM DARKNESS TO WISDOM’S LIGHT BY THE “FEAR” OF THE LORD.
Those who think they know it all have no place with God. Let us humble ourselves and embrace God’s Word. By the Word of God, I guarantee you that walking in this path will make you see the impossible take place right before your eyes. So, expect to see an unusual manifestation of God take place as you walk in this Way!
Therefore, the spiritual focus for the month is “WALKING IN THE WAYS OF WISDOM”. The anchor scripture is ISAIAH 55:9.
Until Next Time, Remember That God Is on Your Side and JESUS IS LORD!
Yours in Christ,
Benson Oritsejolomisan
