Dear Family and Friends,

Praise the Lord its Autum officially here in March 2025 and full of activities as new academic and ministerial year comes in. We are all blessed to welcome and celebrate new year 2025 with affirmation, thanksgiving and lots of praise and worship. Theme for 2025 is “Jehovah Jireh” as God knows all of needs and wants, He is our ever-faithful provider Philippians 4:19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

As we are gaining momentum marching into 2025 in our faith journey let us not loose focus on our Lord Jesus who is the author and finisher of our faith Hebrews 12:2 He begins our faith and completes it. Jesus endures the cross and dispises shame because of the joy set before him, He is the supreme witness because he is the son of God and through Him God speaks to us all Hebrews 1:1-2. In the journey of faith we can enjoy good times when all things are happening according to what we planned, asked for and hard works, however there are many who went through difficult times, pain and suffering , even death, there may be many witnesses according to Hebrews 11 and those who are setting great example to our lives such as, parents, teachers, pastors, friends and many more. Above all many witnesses lets focus on Christ the Lord whose words say, don’t worry about tomorrow , take heart “I have overcome the world”, I will be with you, ask anything in my name, I am the way the truth and the life, go into the world and preach the gospel, make disciples, baptise them, watch and pray, don’t be afraid, love the lord your God with all your heart with all your mind and with all your mind. Jesus is our Jehovah Jireh as He is our creator, our shepherd, our saviour and our Lord. No matter

what is happening to you or your loved ones keep on looking up to our Lord Jesus and His continuous joy will sustain your success and help you out from your failures. Marching on with Jesus, endure the race because all the promises of God to Abraham belong to us as we have faith in the Lord Jesus. Galatians 3:29 “If you belong to Christ, then you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promises to Abraham belongs to you. God’s promises to Abraham are in Genesis 12:1-3 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. 2  “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.[a] 3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”[b]. Let your joy be complete in Christ this Autumn. God bless you all.

In Christ we thrive,
