Hi Church,

How are you keeping on? I pray that you are well and the peace of God is upon you.

Can you believe it that we are already in the last week of October 2010? Time flies at the speed of light! It really felt like just yesterday when we started the year. And now that October is here, it is time for us to Arise and Build once again as we build the house of God. This is our 5th Arise and Build as we raise the finances needed to do this work and our theme is ‘Seek Ye First The Kingdom Of God.’ This is a very powerful statement made by Jesus as He teaches us the importance of putting God’s kingdom ahead of what we do in life. As believers, it ought to be both our sense of joy and responsibility to do this. A sense of joy because we can see His kingdom established here on earth and a sense of responsibility because we want to see the generations after us to keep on worshipping and serving God.

The opportunity to build His kingdom and His church on earth is a privilege. It is a testimony that His work is growing and we have been given added trust by Him. Hence, we need to take this seriously and responsibly. The lives that God has given to us are precious. They mean a lot to God because Jesus died for each one of them.

As a church, let’s learn to love God and His people. Let’s learn to offer love, hope, peace and prayer.
Minister to those who are needy.
Love those who are hurt.
Care for those who are weak.
Pray for those who are sick.
Touch those who are depressed.
Befriend those who are lonely.

Church, let’s build both the physical and the spiritual house of God!

Building with you,

KEV
