SUNDAY REFLECTION: EMBRACING GOD’S STRENGTH IN OUR WEAKNESS

Today’s Sunday readings offer profound insights into the nature of faith and the challenges we face in living it out. In Ezekiel 2:2-5, the prophet is sent to a rebellious house of Israel, equipped with the Spirit of God. This passage reminds us that even in the face of rejection and resistance, we are called to stand firm in our mission, trusting in the strength that God provides.

In 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, Paul shares his own struggles, speaking of a “thorn in the flesh” that keeps him humble. Despite his pleas for its removal, God responds, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” This teaches us that our weaknesses and struggles can become conduits for God’s power and grace, transforming our limitations into opportunities for His strength to shine through.

The Gospel reading from Mark 6:1-6 shows Jesus returning to His hometown, where He faces skepticism and unbelief. Despite His wisdom and miracles, many doubt Him because of their familiarity with His humble origins. This story reminds us that faith requires openness and humility. It challenges us to look beyond our preconceptions and recognize the presence of God in our midst, even when it comes from unexpected places.

Reflecting on these readings, we are reminded of how God consistently lifts His people, ensuring that we bear fruits in our lives. This divine assurance is not just a promise but a living reality we witness daily. It is through faith that we find the strength to overcome obstacles and the wisdom to make decisions that benefit not just ourselves but our entire community.

I am deeply committed to fostering an environment where everyone can prosper and achieve their dreams. With God’s guidance, we, as a Government, will continue to work tirelessly towards the betterment of our community. It is through our collective faith and unity that we can build a society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

May we embrace our weaknesses, allowing God’s strength to manifest in our lives, and may we support one another with compassion and humility, creating a ripple effect of positivity and progress.

Bishop David Olatunji Abioye and Bishop Thomas Aremu , Vice Presidents of the Living Faith Church will be taking their exit out of service in the Liberation Commission also known as the Living Faith Church Worldwide in October 2024 based on the rules of the Mandate which is the Constitution or operational manual of the Liberation Commission.

Ekwutosblog reports that According to a recent announcement, Bishop Thomas Aremu’s valedictory service will take place at LFC Basorun, Ibadan, Oyo State on Tuesday, 15th of October 2024. Also according to sources, Bishop David Abioye’s valedictory service is scheduled to hold in Durumi, Abuja on Friday 18th October 2024.

Bishop Abioye who first met Bishop Oyedepo in 1979 and has been his right hand man since then was sent out to pastor one of the 5 pioneer branches in 1987. Furthermore, he was consecrated in 1993 in Garden of Faith, Barnawa, Kaduna at the age of 32 as the youngest Bishop of a full fledged church in recorded history.

On the other hand, Bishop Aremu who joined the ministry full-time after serving as an accountant in secular organizations is the only one among the 7 Bishops consecrated in November 1999 at Garden of Faith, Kaduna that have remained till date. It is an epoch making event as it marks the very first time that pastors who have served meritoriously in the Living Faith Church will be openly celebrated on retirement.

According to the revised Mandate, the new age of retirement which was formerly 60 is now 58. Only the Founder will have the privilege of a lifetime of service after which every future leader of the Commission will serve for one term or a maximum of 2 terms of 7 years each subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees.

This thus marks a new phase in the operations of this young Church of less than 5 decades. Jesus is Lord!
