Today marks a significant milestone for our church family as we celebrate 36 years of apostolic history and look forward to a future filled with promise and divine purpose. This moment is not just a celebration of past victories but a call to step forward in faith, impacting not only our current generation but also those yet to come. Our journey is akin to the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, where God called Moses to lead His people out of bondage. Like Moses, we are called to be moved by the suffering around us and to bring divine deliverance to those in need.
As we stand at this pivotal point, we are reminded that our assignment is not merely to commemorate the past but to prepare for the future. God has hidden a portion of what He has in store for us, protecting us from being overwhelmed by the magnitude of His plans. Our task is to trust in His guidance and move forward, even when the path seems uncertain. The story of our church is a testament to God's faithfulness, and as we embark on this new chapter, we are called to invest in His kingdom with all our hearts, minds, and resources.
The journey ahead requires sacrifice and commitment, much like the biblical accounts of David and the building of Solomon's Temple. David's willingness to invest in the future, even when he would not see its completion, serves as an example for us. We are called to make commitments today that will launch us into a future known only to God. As we prepare to make these commitments, we are reminded that God will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory.
In this moment, we are encouraged to listen to God's voice and respond with faith and courage. Our contributions, no matter how small they may seem, are vital to the work God is doing in our midst. As we unite in prayer and commitment, we trust that God will guide us and provide for us as we move forward into the future He has prepared.
