Relationship with Christ

What a better way to usher in the new year, 2009, by praising & worshiping God in the house of God then joining street parties and countdown events.

As usual, the church watch night service started at 10-00 pm with praises & worship followed by special presentations by the youth group. Testimonies of the goodness and faithfulness of God followed before the countdown started 5 minutes before midnight.
The first message from God that lasted 25 minutes was taken from the book of John, Chapter 14 verses 6 and 7, Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."

The challenge for 2009 is to have a relationship with Christ. As we have a closer walk with Him, we will grow closer to Christ and our faith will be strengthen - not circumstantial faith but relational faith.

To allow Jesus to walk with us on our journey through 2009 just like Noah did in Genesis 6, verse 9 - This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God - and God's promise to keep him and his family safe.
To allow His truth to set us free from bondages of the world and allowing His divine life to be joined to us both now and eternally.

A Blessed & Victorious New Year with Jesus by our side always.
