Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I am often reminded of the fragility and unpredictable nature of human life.  One thing is predictable however, it is that our Creator can give easily and takes away just as easily.  Nobody knows exactly how long we are going to live, but we know for sure that our time here is short in comparison to the eternal life thereafter.  SO LET US MAKE EVERYDAY HERE ON EARTH COUNT!  Let us live full lives with REAL PURPOSE AS INTENDED BY GOD HIMSELF!!!  Everything that makes up our entire being (OUR SOUL, BODY AND SPIRIT) belongs to GOD.  Therefore, make every beat of our hearts a song of praise and thanksgiving to GOD.  Make every word we speak magnify GOD’S NAME.  Make every cell of our bodies a holy altar of worship and service to God. Make every ounce of our energy BUILD HIS KINGDOM.

As Christians, we have been truly privileged to be called HIS OWN.  We are all made in HIS IMAGE, and we are all SHAPED FOR SERVING GOD.  As servants and ambassadors of GOD, we are to PROCLAIM the message of HIS SALVATION, HOPE AND LOVE to all to the ends of the earth.  So let us accept our mission in CHRIST, let us take up HIS CROSS.  While the world is in darkness, let us bring LIGHT to the world.  Let us bring HEALING and DELIVER EVERY SINGLE OPPRESSED BEING IN JESUS’S NAME.  Let us break the strongholds of every enemy of GOD BY JESUS’S AUTHORITY.  Let us bring JOY TO OUR GOD by helping the low and the needy, by transforming lives and making disciples.  FOR THIS IS OUR REAL PURPOSE on earth.

Let us continue to ask the HOLY SPIRIT to FILL OUR LIVES, along with HIS PURITY and GOODNESS.  Ask the HOLY SPIRIT to take possession of OUR BODIES, OUR SPIRITS AND OUR SOULS, which we SUBMIT TO HIM.  Ask the HOLY SPIRIT to EMPOWER US WITH GREAT FAITH and ENLIGHTEN US WITH HIS WISDOM.  Let us be receptive of his abundant GRACE and LOVE, everlasting PEACE and the LIGHT OF GOD.

God bless,

Carlton
