Easter Reflections

 Dear Partners, Family & Friends, 

I hope you all had a lovely Easter and a great day yesterday.
As I was thinking back over Easter, the following scripture came to mind.

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” - 1 Corinthians 1:18

Let's think about that for a moment, the preaching of the cross to us who are saved is the power of God. I believe the church today needs more preaching on the cross, and the shed blood of Jesus.

Easter is always a great reminder of what God accomplished for each and every one of us through the death and sacrifice of His Son Jesus, on that cross, that day. The Jews celebrate Passover, this feast of Israel that has been celebrated perpetually since the exodus of the children of God from their slavery in Egypt is a wonderful picture of what God did through Jesus Christ at Calvary. 

Psalm 105:37 says, "He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes." 

Can you get a picture of this in your mind's eye? Can you see this with the eye of faith in your imagination?
The children of God coming out of bondage, coming out of slavery, being liberated from their captives, shouting, singing, dancing and praising God! Other translations read, they came out loaded, weighed down with all of the silver and all of the gold of their captors. There was not one, whether young or old, sick or weak amongst them. Everyone came out healed and in perfect health. Their youth had been renewed. How powerful was that first Passover that released God's Holy Spirit power through the Old Covenant and achieved all this. 

This looked forward to the cross. This was depicting what Jesus was going to do for us when He became a curse for us and died that day in our place. Communion represents and is a picture of this powerful history changing event. This has changed the eternal destiny of multitudes of believers. 

Passover looked forward to the cross and received it's benefits by faith. Through communion, as we remember Jesus, we look back to the cross and we are to receive it's benefits by faith.

Jesus Christ has obtained eternal victory, salvation, healing and prosperity for YOU! I dare you, read 2 Corinthians 8:9 "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich." I dare you, to grab your bible, open to this verse, read it out loud putting your name in there and start praising God for all of the things He has accomplished for you and your family. 

As we now enter this new season as the Shemitah year has come to a close, let us remember that Jesus is our Jubilee and remember who the Son sets free, is free indeed!

God bless,

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...
