APPRECIATE WHAT YOU ARE IN CHRIST!

John 4:23, “Yet time is coming and has come when true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks.” Indeed 4th June 2017 was a day to be reckoned with. The Servant of God accompanied by the choir led the house of believers into soulful worship attracting the presence of the Holy One of Israel; where Christ rests, lives are transformed and so it was at True Vine Communion Ministries. From this spirit filled worship and praise the Servant of God took position at the pulpit and led the congregation into the message titled, “APPRECIATE WHAT YOU ARE IN CHRIST!” with reference from the book of Isaiah 51:1-4.
Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness and who seek the Lord; Look to the rock from which you were cut and to quarry  from which you were hewn; Look to Abraham , your father and to Sarah who gave you birth. When I called him he was but one and I blessed him and made him many. The Lord will surely comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; he will make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the garden of the Lord. Joy and gladness will be found in her thanksgiving and the sound of singing…”

The prophet straight away paused a question to the congregation that “how many of you are half-half?” After a deep silence, he said that in the kingdom of God, there is no such a thing as “I feel half-half”, he assured the congregants that one must either be fine or not thus making it clear that when one confesses that they are half-half, they truly belong to the kingdom of Satan“Appreciate what you are in Christ” noting that if a believer of Christ does not acknowledge what they have, it portrays that they do not appreciate therefore telling God to fulfill the scripture in the book of  Matthew 13:12.

Filled with confidence of the Holy Ghost, the servant of God then announced the message topic "Appreciate what you are in Christ" noting that you are what you are becaise of God's grace and mercy. The prophet encouraged the congregation to always appreciate what they have for many have died, lost their property and families but them as believers have been kept alive at no cost. He alerted that being alive is good enough to appreciate God for in a distance, many are admiring what you are. The servant of God Abraham Richard with emphasis encouraged the believers to appreciate what they possess for it is the Holy Spirit that they have that gives life and therefore should be in position as Christians to confess “It is well” whether the situation is good or bad.

He summed up the message with emphasis that what qualifies a Christian to be a believer of Jesus Christ is the ability to confess that Christ Jesus is Lord especially when the situation does not portray His Lordship.
