We can enjoy perfect peace even in turmoil (Isaiah 26:3). May the peace of God, which transcends all understanding… guard your heart(s) and mind(s) in Christ Jesus “(Philippians 4:7)!
As you lift up your soul unto the LORD, may you triumph over your enemies (Psalm 25:1-2); and may they lose their self confidence (Nehemiah 6:16) as the LORD grants you success in your life’s endeavours. In Jesus Christ’s name.
For, to the people who lived in darkness a great light has come, and to them who dwell in the shadow of death, the light has shone. For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called WONDERFUL, COUNSELLOR, THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER. THE PRINCE OF PEACE. (Isa. 9:2, 6)
May this message of hope that was fulfilled in the birth of Christ and the establishment of His eternal Kingdom, bring peace and comfort to your soul and preserve you unto eternal life.
People of God, this time six years ago, our ever faithful God removed sorrow from us all by preserving the life of our father, the Rt Rev’d C E Ide, JP in a ghastly motor accident on his way from a national assignment.
We must count this blessing and return every glory to the King of kings.

It’s my prayer that whatever challenging situations you may currently be facing, may the Lord help you to lean on Him so as to bounce back (Acts 14:19-20). In Jesus Christ’s name! +Bsp
