Trusting God

Knowing God can do anything but fail. He is all powerful He is all we need.
The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. (Psalms 24:8) in any battle we may face in today and tomorrow.
We must keep the faith and trust him. Think about it I know!
God has worked miracles in your life and he will continue to do so
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, (Eph 3:20) And that power is the holy spirit. A God that looks past a faults and see our needs. (Psalms 23:6) Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.

Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake and the General Board of the Church of God in Christ (COGIC) are saddened by the passing of General Board Member and former Presiding Bishop Chandler David Owens.

Bishop Chandler David Owens has died at 79 years of age in Atlanta, Georgia. An internationally known leader, Bishop Owens for more than 35 years faithfully served as a member of the General Board of the Church of God in Christ and from 1995-2000, as Presiding Bishop of the church.

Presiding Bishop Blake, says “the Former Presiding Bishop, Chandler David Owens’ contribution to the Church of God in Christ will forever be remembered in the annals of church history with gratitude, fondness, and respect. Though we mourn his passing, we celebrate his life. We seek the prayers of friends and saints around the world for His loving wife, Mrs.Shirley Owens, his children, other family members, and the membership of the Church of God in Christ.”

Born in Birmingham, Alabama on October 1, 1931, Bishop Owens started preaching as a young child; his ministry spanned more than seven decades. He was a lifelong member of the church, traveled globally and ministered in practically every state in America.

He first pastored in Newark, NJ at the Wells Cathedral COGIC, where he served for over 33 years until his move to the state of Georgia. While in New Jersey, Bishop Owens was also the Jurisdictional Prelate of the Third Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction.

His heart for missions led him to establish, financially and through various other means, churches, schools and transportation for ministries in the Philippines, India, Malawi and Central Africa.

Bishop Owens will always be remembered for his electrifying oratory. His lifetime of experience at every level of church affairs made him a venerable fountain of wisdom and knowledge.

"Strong in Faith" - Romans 4:20

“Strong in faith.” - Romans 4:20
Posted by Charles Spurgeon under Morning

He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
Romans 4:20 (KJV)

Christian, take good care of thy faith; for recollect faith is the only way whereby thou canst obtain blessings. If we want blessings from God, nothing can fetch them down but faith. Prayer cannot draw down answers from God’s throne except it be the earnest prayer of the man who believes. Faith is the angelic messenger between the soul and the Lord Jesus in glory. Let that angel be withdrawn, we can neither send up prayer, nor receive the answers. Faith is the telegraphic wire which links earth and heaven-on which God’s messages of love fly so fast, that before we call he answers, and while we are yet speaking he hears us. But if that telegraphic wire of faith be snapped, how can we receive the promise? Am I in trouble?-I can obtain help for trouble by faith. Am I beaten about by the enemy?-my soul on her dear Refuge leans by faith. But take faith away-in vain I call to God. There is no road betwixt my soul and heaven. In the deepest wintertime faith is a road on which the horses of prayer may travel-aye, and all the better for the biting frost; but blockade the road, and how can we communicate with the Great King? Faith links me with divinity. Faith clothes me with the power of God. Faith engages on my side the omnipotence of Jehovah. Faith ensures every attribute of God in my defence. It helps me to defy the hosts of hell. It makes me march triumphant over the necks of my enemies. But without faith how can I receive anything of the Lord? Let not him that wavereth-who is like a wave of the Sea-expect that he will receive anything of God! O, then, Christian, watch well thy faith; for with it thou canst win all things, however poor thou art, but without it thou canst obtain nothing. “If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.”
