Hold Fast!

Dear Partners, Family and Friends,

"But hold fast what you have till I come" Revelation 2:25.

In these changing, challenging and uncertain times, we have the word of God as an anchor for our souls.  Our minds and our emotions are all part of the soul of our being.  We express emotions and attitudes from our heart through our soul which affects even our physical posture.

Jesus instructs us to hold fast to that which we have, to stay steadfast and firm in our faith until He comes.  As Bob Dylan sang, "For the times they are a-changin."  It is so good to have a constant and unchanging word of victory and hope from our God in these challenging times.  I dare you to believe that you serve a God who changes not, and He has not changed His mind about you or His love plan for your life!  

"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" Jeremiah 29:11.

I dare you to believe, confess and hold fast to the above verse.  I dare you to decree that your God has prosperous and peaceful plans for your life that are all good, giving you purpose, hope and a great future!  

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful" Hebrews 10:23. 

Once again, we see the instruction from the Word of God to HOLD FAST!  Hold fast that which is good in your life.  Hold fast the WORD!  Hold fast the promises of God in these uncertain times and you can be certain of this, God will come through for you!  His word will prove true for you!  He will not abandon you! He will not leave you!  He will not forsake you!  Man may leave you, even your family may desert you, but Jesus is always with you, loving you and caring for you!  

A wise man once said, "Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly."  When you are confronted with challenges that are difficult to conquer, or you have questions arise, the answers to which you do not know, hold fast to the things you do know. 

Jesus encourages us to cast our cares upon Him, for He cares for us!  He tells us to be anxious for nothing, but to believe in God and to believe also in Him.  

In Revelation 3:11 it says, "Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown."  

The word crown here means "A crown or wreath given to a victor."  It is a crown of victory!  So then Jesus is exhorting us, not to let anyone take away our Victory!  You are more than conquerors through the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ paid the price for you to have total victory in every area of your life and circumstances.  

What is your posture?  What is your attitude?  What are your words revealing about you today?  Do you see yourself on the victor's side?  Do you see yourself in the team that wins?  Are you living for your God, holding fast His word and looking for and expecting His return?  Are you dancing, praising and shouting the VICTORY?

I dare you to live today in the victory that Christ paid for you with His life and blood.  I dare you to raise your hands right now and let us declare together, "Jesus Christ is Lord!"  I dare you to believe the word, to hold fast the confession of your faith without wavering, and to go forth and conquer over every circumstance you face.  I dare you to win in life, through Jesus Christ. 

Plan your life like you are a victor and that Jesus is not coming for a hundred years, but live your life like He is coming this afternoon.  Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus.

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 of a process, y
