Grace and Peace my beloved Love Fellowship Christian Center Family ,
After 11 years of pastoring I can still say I LOVE being your Pastor and you are THE GREATEST people on the planet ! These last 11 years have been a lot of work , but it has been fulfilling to see lives changed and impacted by the Lord . I believe that year 12 will be EVEN GREATER : 2018 will be the Year of RELEASE , increase , acceleration and exponential growth .
I want to start by saying …” Thank You ” to our Archbishop Ralph L Dennis , our covering . Thank you to the amazing Love Fellowship Church leaders , Trustees , Ministers , Deacons and all those who oversee ministries . Thank you to all those who serve as Essential Servants and make our worship experience , Sunday School , Children ’ s Church , Praise and Worship , Agape Dance and our weekly services excellent and enjoyable . You are selfless and Kingdom minded . Thank you to all those who sow into the vision . Many lives are being impacted because of you and your generosity . Thank you to all those that attend LFCC every Sunday ! Thank you LFCC family and friends . Let ’ s live for God ! Let ’ s live to bring Him glory ! Let ’ s win the world for Jesus ! That ’ s what it ’ s all about .
Our Lord and Savior , Jesus Christ came so we could live in dominion , fruitfulness and multiplication . Now that we have entered 2018 , it ’ s time to step-up and step-into the new year and move forward . We must make a choice to overcome past faults , failures , and mistakes . What is done is done , the past is just that , the past . Thus , the most effective and efficient use of your time , energy and assets is investing in our FUTURE . Today I request that you commit to declaring and decreeing that 2018 is going to be EPIC , a year of supernatural successful . I ’ m imploring you to heighten your expectation and to believe God for your BEST YEAR yet . May God ’ s Grace ... ( Unmerited Favor ) KEEP YOU and prompt you to DO HIS WILL through the WORD !!! I thank the Lord for all the lessons taught to us in 2017 . We have grown and we are learning to love people to life for who they are . My prayer is for the Grace and Peace of God to keep each of you .
In 2018 , we will diligently apply the Word of God to our lives and share it with others . In 2018 , I refuse to be frustrated at the level of my knowledge . I ’ m not going to just be a hearer of the word , but “ I am a doer of the Word all the way .” We are looking forward to GOD ’ s word being manifested in 2018 , because GOD is ACCELERATING us to ... NEW LEVELS !!!
I declare that this is our year of RELEASE ! Receive the word . Believe the word . Put the word into practice ! Know that the Promises of God are YES and AMEN and they are manifesting in your life ... RIGHT NOW ! Any trials you encounter are not to harm you , but they are to purify you . Because with OVERWHELMING VICTORY comes UNDENIABLE trials . This is your Year of Supernatural Increase and RELEASE !!! Mathew 6:33 says “ Seek the Kingdom of God above all else , and live righteously , and he will give you everything you need .” Beloved , God placed things in order . What proceeds one thing , sustains the next . The basis of Christianity is LOVE John 3:16 . We have built our church on the foundation of GOD ’ s ( AGAPE ) LOVE . As we move into the season of RELEASE and INCREASE , you must be keenly aware that whatever is in the house , belongs to everybody in the house . We are joint heirs with Christ , so if GOD is blessing my neighbor that means HE ’ S in the neighborhood . LFCC , 2018 is the year of RELEASE and our obedience will attract BLESSINGS !!! Not only will God cause RELEASE , but GOD will also help us to REFRESH , REFILL , REPLENISH and RECOVER IT ALL !!
I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH !!! Let ’ s step into our NEW SEASON !!! I pray for Abundant Blessings and Perpetual Favor for you and your entire family .
His Humble Servant Pastor T
