MONTHLY NEWSLETTER With Rev. Dr. C. A. Onitiri (June 2023 Edition)
Dearly Beloved of God:
I welcome us all the month of June, the sixth month of the year and I thank God most graciously for keeping us, preserving us, providing for us and granting us good health and life. May His name be praised forevermore in Jesus name.
SCRIPTURE FOR THE MONTH:
Our Scripture for the Month can be seen in Isaiah 27v6.
“HE SHALL CAUSE THEM THAT COME OF JACOB TO TAKE ROOT: ISRAEL SHALL BLOSSOM AND BUD,AND FILL THE FACE OF THE WORLD WITH FRUIT.” KJV
THEME FOR THE MONTH:
Our THEME for the month:
“IT IS GOD’S WILL TO BLESS US “
The purpose of God for us, His children, is that, we might like a vine, take root, blossom and fill the whole world with fruit. We are to be a blessing to the world as God has promised Abraham. In other words, from the onset, like the nation of Israel, we are God’s chosen people. His intention has always been to bless us.
God said Israel shall blossom and bud.This is applicable to us and conveys the idea that we will not only multiply, but succeed and do well.We shall blossom and develop into what we were intended to be.
Remember, it is God’s desire, His plan to bless us and not curse us. Scripture tells us this in Jeremiah 29v11:
” FOR I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU” DECLARES THE LORD, “PLANS TO PROSPER YOU AND NOT TO HARM YOU, PLANS TO GIVE YOU HOPE AND A FUTURE ” NIV
See, God does not bless us grudgingly. He does not wait for us to come to Him.He seeks us out because it is His pleasure to do us good.He is not waiting for us.He is pursuing us.This indeed is the literal translation of Psalm 23v6
“SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW ME ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE–” KJV
Brethren, God desires to bless us.His intentions, His plans for each of us are good plans.
God loves us and He intends the best for us.
Indeed, there may be times in our lives when things seem chaotic, even impossible. In these times, we must always remember that God is using those difficulties to bring us to a place of growth and blessings.Just be obedient to Him and allow Him to bless you as only He can.
Isaiah 1v19 says:
” IF YOU ARE WILLING AND OBEDIENT, YOU WILL EAT THE GOOD THINGS OF THE LAND.”NIV.
PRAYER:
FATHER I THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTENTIONS FOR MY LIFE ARE GOOD, THAT YOU INDEED WANT TO BLESS ME. YOU ARE A LOVING FATHER ALWAYS SEEKIBG TO GIVE YOUR CHILDREN THE BEST. HELP ME LORD TO ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD EAGERLY FOR YOUR BLESSINS. WHEN THEY COME, MAY I BE GRATEFUL FOR EACH OF THEM IN JESUS NAME.
THANK YOU LORD FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME. AMEN.
N/B:
As you read and meditate on the above, think of our nation Nigeria and pray for God’s blessings on her for God’s intention is to bless our nation Nigeria. No matter what we have been through or going through, God will use these difficulties to bring us to place of GROWTH and BLESSINGS AMEN.
SHALOM.
