God Bless You

From

Saint Augustine's Episcopal Church

Welcome to 2009!

Dearly Beloved:

If you are like most people watching the trend in the economy and politics today, you canʼt but be anxious. With unemployment rates and figures climbing each month everyone is genuinely anxious about what tomorrow will bring .I bring you however good news from God's word. 

Josh 1:1-9 1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord it came to pass, that the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, 2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. 3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. 5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

As for me and my household this year is going to be great. I will achieve greater exploits than I have ever achieved in my life. The Lord says ʽBE BOLD,BE STRONGʼ because ʽHE IS WITH USʼ and ʽHE GOES WITH US EVERYWHERE WE GOʼ :

The Key to unlocking this secret path to Success and Victory in 2009 is found in verses 7 and 8

1. Let the word not depart from your mouth ( PREACH THE WORD)

2. Thou shalt meditate therein day and night( MEDITATE ON THE WORD)

3. Observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left.(LIVE ON THE WORD)

The Lord has assured me that it will be well with all that follow His command. I beseech you brethren to Preach the word, meditate on the word and live your life based on the word and you will Gods goodness.

Amen,

Father A.

St Augustine's Episcopal church was established over a century ago. We have lived through the years with successes and failures all the way. This ministry suffered greatly with the untimely death of our last Rector, combined with the fire disaster of our parish hall and parts of our Church building.

The year 2003 was a year we will not easily forget. Now we have begun to re-envision and redevelop, we've left our survival mode behind. Today we are a thriving, vibrant and growing church. Our young and dynamic Nigerian priest brings a wealth of experience as a physician and youth minister.

St. Augustine's has risen and will climb to new dimensions of ministry to live our lives with Christian joy and enthusiasm.
