Manifested Love

Dear Family, Partners and Friends,

It wasn't the nails that held Jesus to the cross. It was his love for you. - Dr. Shaun Marler

Passover is a Time of Joy

Passover (Easter) is a time to celebrate Jesus and all He has done for us and is still doing for us by His word and Spirit.  He ever lives to make intercession for us.  

“Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens; (Hebrew 7:25-26).

It was customary of the Israelites to joyously sing Psalm 118 at every Passover. So this was the song that Jesus sang just before He was led to the cross to die for us.  This Psalm contains the words, “This is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it.”  Even though He was on His way to the cross to die for the sins of the whole world and receive in His own body the full curse of the law, He kept the joy of spending eternity with you before His eyes and on His mind.  He focused on you and I being set free.

Easter then needs to be a special moment, a time of personal reflection and meditation.  We can re-focus and prioritize ourselves on what is really important in our lives, family and church.  It is a time to repent if we are under the conviction of the Spirit, and we can deal with our sins and unbelief, laying them aside.  Putting them under the blood of Jesus, that is casting them into the sea of God’s forgetfulness.  Free of sin and condemnation because of what Christ has achieved.  We can forgive anyone that has wronged us in any way and ask forgiveness if necessary of others, realigning ourselves to the Kingdom of God and its priorities.  

Passover (Easter) is a Time to Sing and Rejoice

Together, this Passover let us take communion with a greater understanding of what it cost God to purchase our salvation.

Through communion, we can remember Jesus, and all He did for us.  We can then pull down strongholds in our mind by the Spirit of God and bring our hearts and minds back to who we are in Christ and who Christ is in us.  It is the Spirit who brings us back to the remembrance of Jesus and what we have access to in Him.

“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).

The Holy Spirit is our comforter, strengthener and our advocate.  By His grace and divine empowerment, we need to line up our thinking with God’s will and plan for our lives.

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you a hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11).

Communion should be a time where we sing songs of joy, praise and love to our Lord, because He is good and His mercy endures forever.

I pray you have a safe and prosperous Passover this year, spending quality time with your family and your 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...
