FROM THE CEO

FROM THE CEO

By JOHN Ogden Sr

December – a

time of reflection both from the past and the future . It is a time we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior , Jesus .
Galatians 4:4-7 , NKJV , β€œ But when the fullness of the time had come , God sent forth His Son , born of a woman , born under the law , to redeem those who were under the law , that we might receive the adoption as sons . And because you are sons , God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts , crying out , β€œ Abba , Father !” Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son , and if a son , then an heir of God through Christ .”
We have a blessed hope as bornagain believers , joint heirs through Christ . We have the rights and privileges of the Son . These are the provisions of Heaven to accomplish God ’ s will for our lives .
As we consider the greatness of God in our lives for 2023 , may we know that 2024 is the year of harvest in Christ Jesus . We did not call ourselves , but He called us .
Our divine call is changing the world , one heart at a time ; as we point people to Jesus through the remainder of 2023 , let ’ s remember the important things : our families , our friends , and our Savior , Jesus . Even though there is turmoil in the world , Jesus is still in control . We
can trust Him . I encourage you to release everything to Him .
May you and your family experience the hope and peace of Jesus through this season . CMA
