BRETHREN PRESS ON

Glory be to God on high for a week full of activities, we had revival and our father(Revd F.A. Afuwape) was finally committed to mother earth. The glory of God descended upon all we did and we have all reason to  thank God. Every of our guest returned safely back to their destination with an heart full of joy. The testimony of a godly and outstanding life filled the air from every corner during daddy’s services of songs and burial. What will people recall about you when you depart?

The words of Apostle Paul is the message to us this morning, it is not just a charge but a direction. Lets consider the content of this text.
..that I may know Him and the power of His ressurrection
- Knowing is discovery
- it is recovery,
- it is connecting
- it is understanding
- it is attaining
- it is holding firm to the truth

I have always asked myself what the power of resurrection is:
- it is understanding the power of the grace we have in Jesus, Ephesians 1:7-8

- Grabbing the power released through Christ deaths, Rom 8:37, Col 2:15

- Wisdom to win souls to the kingdom of God.

What is it to ’PRESS ON’:
- It is the drive to succeed
- it is holding on despite the storm arising
- it is having a vision and pursuing it
- It is running with focus
- it is keeping tab on the journey to satisfy our master.
Above all, it should be done with spiritual and physical maturity not  toddler mindset.

Everyone of us must really PRESS ON in our service to God if we trully desire to get to heaven and fulfill the mind of God.

It is our heritage to continue the legacy of our departed father who did all he could to make sure this ministry excel in all things.
None of us have excuse to fail.

I dare you to contribute your best not hypocrisy because there is a reward for all we are doing( Gal 6:7-8).
