Give Thanks!

Dear Partners, Family & Friends,

"In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you"  1 Thessalonians 5:18. 

It was that famous singer Willie Nelson who said, "When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around."  

It is such a privilege to write to you again. Wow! It is already Autumn, and a new season has begun. I pray that a new season is beginning in your life! Obviously, in other parts of the world, Spring has just begun. Seasons come, and seasons go. No season lasts forever, but with the turning of the seasons, new life begins.  

I really like the quote from Willie Nelson that I have shared above. I believe, and I pray for you today, regardless of where you live in the world, this new season would bring a new beginning and a new joy to life in you. We are instructed in God's word to give thanks in every circumstance of life. God actually says that this is His will for us. Why? "Now thanks be unto God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place" ( 2 Corinthians 2:14).  

With all that is going on in our world, I can't think of a more encouraging and uplifting scripture than one that contains an instruction, that when carried out, gives us a complete victory. Have a read of 2 Corinthians 2:14 again. Did you see it? This thanks directed to God will not only cause you to triumph, but it will allow you to taste and savour the knowledge of this victory, wherever you are.  

Oh, this scripture comes to mind, "Oh taste and see that the Lord is good!" (Psalm 34:8). God is good! He is good to us! Good to you ALL THE TIME! I encourage you to enter into the goodness of God by praising and giving thanks to God in this season. I believe, based on the word of God, that as we do this your whole life will be turned around for the better!

Let's start rejoicing! Let's begin a season of praise and thanksgiving! We are praying for you and practising in practical ways what I am sharing with you today. Together, let us PRAISE THE LORD!  

God bless and much love,

Ps. Shaun Marler

“I am not moved by what I see. I am not moved by what I feel. I am only moved by what I believe.” Smith Wigglesworth.

If God’s Word says you are forgiven, then you are forgiven, if God’s Word says your needs are met, then your needs are met. If God’s Word says you are healed, you are healed. If you don’t let go of God’s Word, but keep it in your heart and mouth, then you can’t lose. There is no force the devil can bring against you that can overthrow the Word of God. God’s Word will make you a victor every time. So if you have been wanting good success and it has been eluding you, quit wondering if you have what it takes to succeed and remember instead, who lives in you. Then turn to the Word and put God’s success formula to work in your life. Start talking it, start thinking it, start doing it! You can believe all day long that the Bible is true- and that’s to your credit- but what the Bible says will never affect your life in a personal way until you start acting on God’s Word. Do not worry or fret that God has given more faith to others than He has to you. Rest assured in the fact that God h...

Honour your man of God

“Render to all men their dues. [Pay] taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, and honor to whom honor is due.” Romans 13:7 (AMP) The word honour means: to respect, to revere, to treat with deference and submission and perform relevant duties to. Honouring your man of God is vital in the life of every born-again believer. Even as a Senior Pastor, it is a privilege for me to honour the men of God that I consider my spiritual fathers and mentors. They are life coaches to me on my spiritual journey to success, shining examples of excellence in ministry, men to whom I look for advice, prayer, guidance and leadership. The importance of a man such as this cannot be overstated. Many of us would not be saved from the wrath to come, had it not been for the assistance, support and intervention of our Pastors. We would be ignorant of the Word, were it not for a man of God anointed to teach. Thank God for men who dare to teach the “Word of God”, i...

THE LAW OF REPETITION

Image
What you hear repeatedly, you will eventually believe. Repetition, our school teachers know this basic law of learning. That’s why when we were at school, we learned many things in our early years by repetition. Someone once said, “You must hear something at least 16 times, before you eventually believe it”. Television commercials are repeated over and over. These are backed up by newspaper, magazine, internet and billboard advertisements. The marketers know we must continually hear and see something before we respond to it.  Romans 10:17 says “ So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God ”.  It simply takes time to absorb a message. Great achievers understand the necessity for their team and those following them, to hear instructions, teaching and training, again and again, before they fully grasp new concepts.  Do not expect those around you and those with whom you network, to understand everything instantly. You are a result o...
