Prayer

My Lord, the Passover Meal that evening, although containing many elements, was of great significance.  It was the last time, in human form, you would communicate with your eleven disciples. 
 
They would not experience the fellowship, relationship, and display of your love until    your resurrection.  They had their weak moments, but the bond of your love for them was sealed. At supper, they were reminded of the essence and foundation of your genuine love, which would   remain with them, all the days of their Apostleship.  
 
Oh God of Love, as your Disciple help me, teach me, with permanence, to love you with all my heart, soul, and mind. To love myself, my neighbor, and all of the Household of Faith.   I need your love, I want your love oh Lord,
 
 I must feel your love daily.   Then, allow the communion of your love within me radiate around others that more love will be returned to you.     
 
This I, sincerely, pray in your Name, my Loving Lord.

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, power, and dominion forever and ever, and to the Holy Ghost, who still abides in us. The key phrase for March is “Resurrection Power.” This message for the week is “Power Over Sin.”

 

My dear brothers and sisters, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ was necessary, for a dead Savior cannot save anyone. As we read in Romans 4:25, Christ “was delivered for our offenses and was raised again for our justification.” This means that Jesus Christ rose from the dead three days later, proving that the Father accepted His sacrifice for sin and that Jesus truly has power over both sin and death. In Romans 6:14, we learn that “sin shall not have dominion over us as we are not under the law but under grace.” Apostle Paul opens the 6th chapter of Romans by admitting that sin is one of humanity’s most complex challenges. “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?” God has given us a new life in Jesus Christ, which has broken sin’s power over our lives.

 

Moreover, Jesus’s resurrection has profound implications for the forgiveness of sins. Jesus atoned for our sins through His death and resurrection, granting us forgiveness and reconciliation with God. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our wrongdoings, enabling us to be forgiven and made righteous before God. My brothers and sisters, there is power in the resurrection! The resurrection can break the curse of sin, heal generational brokenness, and heal broken homes, marriages, hearts, attitudes, and churches! 

 

In closing, knowing that those who believe in Jesus Christ have been justified is exhilarating. Through the blood of Jesus Christ, every believer has peace with God and access to His grace. We stand in a place of blessings and have hope for a future with God. Even in our current struggles, we can find joy and glory in our faith. Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.” My brothers and sisters, God has given us new life in Jesus. Sin’s power over our lives has been broken through the power of Jesus Christ’s Resurrection. Hence, if Jesus Christ has set us free, how can we allow sin to reign in our lives? We have a choice, and that choice makes all the difference. Jesus Christ won the victory at Calvary. Therefore, sin’s power is broken, and we are set free.

 

Remember, “…With God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26).

Message from the Desk of First Lady Deaconess Linda Worthem

Date: March 17, 2024

Greetings to Saints of God. I give honor and all praises to the all-mighty God and to the Holy Ghost. I am yet saved, satisfied, and kept by the power of the Holy Ghost. I give honor to the General Overseer, Assistant Overseer, Chief Helpers, and all who teach and preach the word of God.

Saints, I am thankful to God because a few weeks ago, we received a tremendous amount of snow, and later, because of rain and below-freezing temperatures, we had some very icy roads. We could not leave our homes for about three days. This sunny day and the budding of the trees let me know that Spring is coming. I love all seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. God is in control of all seasons, and He has a specific time for each season. No one has the power to change that order but God. I am reminded of Bishop Sarah Stratton’s sermon during a Mississippi State Assembly in Tupelo. Her Topic was, “A contrary wind cannot blow always.” No season, winter, spring, summer, or fall, cannot always last; one must get back and let the other one come forth.

Saints, if it is Winter in your life now, if you are going through a rough time financially, sickness, depression, hurt, grief, children acting up, health problems, no matter what it is, it won’t last always; Spring will come. God will not always allow His people to suffer; Romans 8:17 says, “And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified together.” Lamentations 3:32, “But though he causes grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.” While God works, we must keep faith, believe, pray, smile, rejoice, praise God, and thank Him for the blessings to come. Spring is on the way. Remember, He may not come when you want Him, but He is always on time, so praise God.

Saints, I praise the Lord for this year’s International Women’s Conference in Philadelphia, PA. I praise God for the host church, Strawberry Mansion, and the host Pastor, Bishop Dr. Rosette Coney, for doing a fantastic job. I genuinely regret that I was unable to attend. I praise God for all the speakers and all who came from near and far to be a part of each anointed service.

Also, I thank God for the Overseer and others going to Badin, NC, to take care of business. They had an excellent service with Bishop Howard Yawn and the members. Praised God.

In my closing, the Overseer and I wish everyone a Happy Resurrection Day. Please continue to pray for us as we pray for you.

All praises be to the all-mighty God.

 

His Servant,

Deaconess Linda Worthem

First Lady of COTLG-Jewell Dominion
