The crisis will reveal your stronghold. The storm you encounter will reveal under whose shade and shelter you take refuge.  Who will we choose? If we do not break and set ourselves free from ungodly strongholds, we will not be able to fulfill the Lord's purpose for our lives.

 How does the Church respond to this pandemic that is ravaging the world?

We have a God who loves us so much that He gave the ultimate sacrifice to die in our place. As a church we have to take a stand between life and death. Let us be discerning and be salt & light in the areas God has placed us in.

Listen in on how Pastor Stanley Mehta talks on how Jesus responded to his two disciples on the Road to Emmaus after his Resurrection. And how the disciples responded to him. 

'Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey...' - Zechariah 9 : 9 (NIV)

What is the fear of the Lord? It is a deep respect, an overwhelming feeling of reverence, admiration and a sense of awe produced in us by the revelation of who God is.  There is no way we can live a godly, Godward and a God glorifying life without learning, growing and walking in the fear of the Lord.  'So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being built up and walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it multiplied.' – Acts 9: 31

The fear of the Lord ought to be the foundation of our hearts, lives, family and the Church.

"And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul - Deuteronomy 10: 12

Jesus said, “Let's go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn't even have time to eat. So, they left by boat for a quiet place, where they could be alone. - Mark 6:31–32

Are you stuck in life or are you moving upward and forward in accordance with God's plan and purpose?
