throw back from 9 Apr 2023

Hi, friends! 😌

What a great joy it was for me to witness your baptisms today on Easter Sunday!

Abba Lord, would You bless all my brothers and sisters who today have taken this step of faith to publicly proclaim their commitment to follow You! Would you bless them with Your abundant grace and love and would you guide them in their journey of faith.

I pray that they continue to grow in their knowledge and understanding of Your Word and that the Holy Spirit empower each one of them to live out their faith with courage and conviction. May they be a light in the world, sharing Your love and truth with those around them.

I pray that You will surround them with a community of believers who will support and encourage them, and they will find strength and comfort in the fellowship of Your Church. As they enter this new season of their lives, I pray that You will bless them with good health and success in all their endeavors as they strive in all things for Your sake, for Your glory, and for Your honour! May You fill their lives with joy, peace, and purpose.

We ask all these things and pray in the most precious Name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, amen!

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BAPTISM!!! 😍

A prayer of blessings from a dear brother:

Dorothy, may the LORD bless you greatly as you turn another year older, as you navigate the life that God has given you. I hope you've had a day filled with love, joy, peace, and grace, and that as you reflect upon the year past and the year ahead, you will experience God's goodness and nearness in presence in a new and powerful way.

May He Who made you who you are continue to grow you into who He has destined you to be. May you grow in your relationship with the Lord and always seek to follow Him. May the desires of your heart be abundantly fulfilled in God's unfolding plan in ways you cannot imagine and, as they are, may your life shine brightly for the glory of God!

We are thankful for you, we are grateful for you, we appreciate you, and we wish you much love and all joy in the year to come!

Amen. ❤️

 on this day, Thank you for remind me of Your love and Your presence.

Another In The Fire

VERSE 1

There’s a grace when the heart is under fire

Another way when the walls are closing in

And when I look at the space between

Where I used to be and this reckoning

I know I will never be alone

CHORUS

There was another in the fire

Standing next to me

There was another in the waters

Holding back the seas

And should I ever need reminding

Of how I’ve been set free

There is a cross that bears the burden

Where another died for me

TAG

There is another in the fire

VERSE 2

All my debt left for dead beneath the waters

I’m no longer a slave to my sin anymore

And should I fall in the space between

What remains of me and this reckoning

Either way I won’t bow

To the things of this world

And I know I will never be alone

CHORUS 2

There is another in the fire

Standing next to me

There is another in the waters

Holding back the seas

And should I ever need reminding

What power set me free

There is a grave that holds no body

And now that power lives in me

BRIDGE

And I can see the light in the darkness

As the darkness bows to Him

I can hear the roar in the heavens

As the space between wears thin

I can feel the ground shake beneath us

As the prison walls cave in

Nothing stands between us

Nothing stands between us

VERSE 3

There is no other name

But the Name that is Jesus

He who was and still is

And will be through it all

So come what may in the space between

All the things unseen and this reckoning

I know I will never be alone

CHORUS 3

There’ll be another in the fire

Standing next to me

There’ll be another in the waters

Holding back the seas

And should I ever need reminding

How good You’ve been to me

I’ll count the joy come every battle

‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be
