Hi Friends,
Happy New Month! Welcome to the month of February 2025!
Isaiah 61:7 says, “instead of shame and dishonor, you will enjoy a double share of honor. You will possess a double portion of prosperity in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours.”
The year 2025 started with so much tragedy, accidents and incidents; but let us continue to hold on to God’s word and remain steadfast. There is a reason and purpose for everything. We serve a God of restoration who will give you double for your trouble.
Also, I would like to release this word over you that I spoke at the beginning of the year. It is still your year to thrive in 2025.
VIDEO: “Surviving Servanthood”
This month, I would like to share with you one of my recent sermons entitled “Surviving Servanthood” based on Mark 10:35-45. The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows! Here are some of the key points shared:
✝️ A Servant must know how to humble himself/herself
✝️ A Servant must understand the Mission
✝️ A Servant must understand who he/she is serving
✝️ Jesus modeled Servanthood for us. He is our example
✝️ We are designed to serve or, in the words of Rick Warren, we are “shaped to serve”
✝️ You must have a heart and a spirit to serve
✝️ There is greatness in Service. If you want to be great, serve
✝️ Servant begat Servant
Mark 10:44-45 NIV “And whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Watch/Listen and be blessed. Remember to share and subscribe to more YouTube channel.
HOLDING ON TO HOPE
Holding on to Hope Weekly Devotion has been an inspiration to many. Normally, a new video clip or a post is published on Monday mornings on my YouTube channel and Facebook page.
I will start to post new video clips soon but in the meantime, here is one of the previous video encouraging you about purpose.
BIBLE GLEANERS
