Greetings Ministers of the Gospel,

We have made it to the end of another year, and we are still here, something the devil did not count on. He was calculating our demise but forgot to recognize in his equation the God Factor. You cannot curse what God has blessed. So, no matter what we have gone through, all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to his purpose. We are not called to convenience, but we are called to occupy until he returns.

Occupy means to inhabit, conquer, and to rule. So, as you can see in the definition it is not the time to quit faint, or fall back but the time to advance. We must seize the moment and maximize the opportunity before us. Why should we forcefully move forward, because we have the mandate to produce multiply replenish, and rule in the earth, therefore we should make plans to expand and not decrease. God wants more from us not less. He purges us that we may bare more fruit. Jesus said with him we can do all things concerning kingdom and personal endeavors.

The only way to experience God’s best for us in this season is to make plans to succeed, that is why I am looking forward to our theme for 2023 – We Are Legacy Builders. This does not mean we will not enjoy what we are building along the way. I believe you live in the legacy before you leave it to the next generation.

I am looking forward to the upcoming VAMA Round Table that will focus on the elements of casting vision that builds legacy. I am persuaded that this impartation and collaboration will inspire encourage and equip you for 2023.

I am a Legacy Builder

Apostle, Dr. Fred L. Hodge
