O what a wonderful, wonderful day – day I will never forget;
After I’d wandered in darkness away, Jesus my Saviour I met.
O what a tender, compassionate friend – He met the need of my heart;
Shadows dispelling, With joy I am telling, He made all the darkness depart.

Chorus:
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul,
When at the cross the Saviour made me whole;
My sins were washed away –
And my night was turned to day –
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul!

Faithful Father, we came to say thank You for a wonderful year You have given to us, all the blessings, love, kindness, healing, provisions, miracles and greatness You have made us to attained in the Name of Jesus. Thank You, thank You, and thank You.

My mouth is full with Praise, with a grateful heart we came before us at this ground finale. The day you have made and said we should be glad and rejoice in it. Great are Your works Lord, You are greatly to be praise.

What shall I say unto the Lord, all I have to say is thank You Lord. What shall I say unto the Jehovah all I have to say is thank You Lord, thank You Lord thank You Lord. All I have to say is thank you Lord.

Beloved, are you happy that the Lord has dealt kindly with you. He lifted you high and placed you among the princess. He took you from the miry clay and wash you clean. He made you strong and gave you joy! What a great God we serve. Are you happy with all His doing? Come and Praise Him forever more!

Dearly beloved our God is good and He is God from generation unto generation, Great is His Name.

At the beginning of the year the Lord visited His people and made pronouncement upon us. We took it and we ran with the theme and other monthly theme that came along our way to help us in actualizing the yearly theme.

I feel good today writing to you and declaring that our God is Living and Unchangeable. He brought to past every Word He spoke and we believed in our heart even when like Mary were confuse on how it shall be.

His hand went ahead to bring it to past. He healed and delivered so many through the ministration that comes from this platform.  Many are standing strong today because they read and heeded the timely Word of Wisdom the Lord brought our way daily via this platform. What more can we say than to say “thank You Father for being Faithful and ever there for us.

Thank You Holy Spirit for all that you made us learn and do all through the year. What about our dear King and Saviour whose blood was shed to save us and deliver us from all evil.

Truly, the love of God was shed aboard and the birth of Christ finally restored back to us our lost glory. Beloved the Lord truly brought the theme to fulfillment wherefore we are glad.

The text theme were also fulfilled if you were willing and obedient according to the Word of the Lord.

Just a quick recap on the yearly theme. The Spirit of Lord gave us 2 Cor 3:18; Isa 60:1-3;15-22 and Col 1:27.

Beloved going through these bible verses were it real in your life? can you say that you are changing from glory to glory….; arise and shine for Thy light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen… and were thou has been forsaken and hated, … God has make Thee an excellency and a joy of many generations. … Christ in you the hope of our glory; wherefore we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. Beloved this I also laboured and striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightly.

Beloved on this note I declared to you “peace”. May that be your experience having received His greater glory and whatever that may want to question this declaration as given us by the Spirit of God be silence forever in Jesus Name.

Beloved, whatever is still expose in our life the Lord declared peace in Jesus Name.

So go in this manner and rejoice as you enter into another year and season. For the Lord will take us again by Hand and see us through in Jesus Name.

I will enjoin you to pray along with us as we look towards a more rewarding time in God’s presence next year. May His Spirit leads us on and make us triumphant at a day like this next year in Jesus Name.

Pray and relent not.

“I will make them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.” Ezek. 34:25

 

It is the height of grace that Jehovah should be in covenant with man, a feeble, sinful and dying creature. Yet the Lord has solemnly entered into a faithful compact with us, and from that covenant He will never turn aside. In virtue of this covenant we are safe. As lions and wolves are driven off by shepherds, so shall all noxious influences be chased away. The Lord will give us rest from disturbers and destroyers; the evil beasts shall cease out of the land. O Lord, make this thy promise good even now!

The Lord’s people are to enjoy security in places of the greatest exposure: wildernesses and woods are to be as pastures and folds to the flock of Christ. If the Lord does not change the place for the better, He will make us the better in the place.

The wilderness is not a place to dwell in, but the Lord can make it so; in the woods one feels bound to watch rather than to sleep, and yet the Lord giveth His beloved sleep even there. Nothing without or within should cause any fear to the child of God. By faith the wilderness can become the suburbs of Heaven, and the woods the vestibule of glory.

Yes beloved by His glory alone we are made glad. Don’t ever give up on God. hold on to your faith, beloved “Keep the faith”. what you unable to achieve this year just tag alone with us as we step out and step into another year, who knows the Lord will bring it to past. Let discover more:

“Even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.” Romans 8:23

 

This groaning is universal among the saints: to a greater or less extent we all feel it. It is not the groan of murmuring or complaint: it is rather the note of desire than of distress. Having received an earnest, we desire the whole of our portion; we are sighing that our entire manhood, in its trinity of spirit, soul, and body, may be set free from the last vestige of the fall; we long to put off corruption, weakness, and dishonour, and to wrap ourselves in incorruption, in immortality, in glory, in the spiritual body which the Lord Jesus will bestow upon His people.

We long for the manifestation of our adoption as the children of God. “We groan,” but it is “within ourselves.” It is not the hypocrite’s groan, by which he would make men believe that he is a saint because he is wretched. Our sighs are sacred things, too hallowed for us to tell abroad.

We keep our longings to our Lord alone. Then the apostle says we are “waiting,” by which we learn that we are not to be petulant, like Jonah or Elijah, when they said, “Let me die”; nor are we to whimper and sigh for the end of life because we are tired of work, nor wish to escape from our present sufferings till the will of the Lord is done.

We are to groan for glorification, but we are to wait patiently for it, knowing that what the Lord appoints is best. Waiting implies being ready. We are to stand at the door expecting the Beloved to open it and take us away to Himself. This “groaning” is a test.

You may judge of a man by what he groans after. Some men groan after wealth—they worship Mammon; some groan continually under the troubles of life—they are merely impatient; but the man who sighs after God, who is uneasy till he is made like Christ, that is the blessed man. May God help us to groan for the coming of the Lord, and the resurrection which He will bring to us.

May that be our portion as we groan after righteousness in Jesus Name. Christ indeed in us is the hope of our glory. Praise God.

Beloved, I want to sincerely thank you and appreciate you for being there for us all through the year. Thank you for your encouraging words and comments that spurs us on. Thank you for living out what you also learnt as the day go by. Thank you for many you have drawn unto righteousness.

Thank you for your support and kind gestures, may the good Lord bless you and bring to past your heart desires in Jesus Name.

I love you all. Before we draw the curtain close, we say to you “thank God for a glorious ending and a Happy New Year from allofus @ overcomersfaith.”

You can just round it off with the song we started with. “Heavens come down and glory shone around.”

Born of the Spirit with life from above into God’s fam’ly divine,
Justified fully thru Calvary’s love, O what a standing is mine!
And the transaction so quickly was made when as a sinner I came,
Took of the offer of grace He did proffer – He saved me, O praise His dear name!

Chorus:
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul,
When at the cross the Saviour made me whole;
My sins were washed away –
And my night was turned to day –
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul!

Now I’ve a hope that will surely endure after the passing of time;
I have a future in heaven for sure, there in those mansions sublime.
And it’s because of that wonderful day when at the cross I believed;
Riches eternal and blessings supernal from His precious hand I received.

Chorus:
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul,
When at the cross the Saviour made me whole;
My sins were washed away –
And my night was turned to day –
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul!


Heaven came down and glory filled my soul!

See you next year by God’s grace. Have a great weekend dearly beloved. “Pray! Pray!! Pray!!! For a His Word for us in 2018. Let our steps be order aright by His Hand alone! Amen!

Our last PCL session for the year, Isn’t God Wonderful. What a glorious honour and way to wrap up the year learning at the Lord’s feet.  To Him alone be praised forever and ever AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remain ever blessed in the Lord.
