Elder Martha Gibson
exalted Spiritual Praise, as she led the congregation in
singing “We Worship Christ Our Lord” – “ Wonderful”
“What Did You Do With Your Life Today” and “God Is Power.”
As the saints were engulfed in praises the call was made for
altar prayer and Elder J. R. Russell prayed the
intercessory prayer while the people were assembled at the
altar. After prayer Elder Martha Gibson read the
scripture from 1st Corinthians 15: 1 with
spiritual enlightened elucidation. The Choir ministered in
song, singing “Prayer Still Works” led by Sister Tammie
Davis: (a new members making her debut as a lead singer in
the choir) and “So Glad He Loves Me”
led by Sister Gerald Reed.”
Following the Choir, Apostle
Moses Gibson came forward in preparation for the morning
message. He came forth with thanks to God for the service
this far and being blessed to attend the Bishop’s meeting
in Atlanta, Georgia. He expressed his thanks and
appreciation to Elder J. R. Russell whom God has placed
love and compassion in his heart to drive him to his
meetings as needed. Also, his wife Prophetess Russell, who
supports him with his commitment to be his driver. God
knows what we need and the time we need it. After
preliminaries, he requested someone to read the following scripture
and spoke briefly from it.
Follow peace with
all men, and holiness without, which no man shall see
the Lord. Hebrew 12: 15.
According to the
speaker when the word tells us to follow peace with all
men, this means “w-o-m-e-n” too. This means you got to be
Holy because this is the only way you will be able to seek
peace with all men and women. You must humble yourself and
overcome spiritual wickedness in high places;
because if you a holy ghost filled individual, people will
antagonize you and cause you to sin. Therefore, the
Bible tells us to put on the whole armor of God that you
may be able to stand against the devil. It lets us
know we are not wrestling against flesh and blood but
spiritual wickedness in high places.
This is why God says be holy, for I am holy. We know
that spiritual wickedness is everywhere but we can’t conform to
this world. The Devil is constantly trying to sell you his
evil deeds, if he does not sell you one evil trick, he
will try another and another until he tricks you. He
will constantly bring temptation, but you must have the
Holy Ghost because this gives you the power to resist all
the temptation he brings. The word tells us to sanctify
yourself. You may ask, how do I sanctify myself? Simply
begin to clean your life up from all the things you know
are not pleasing to God. Put away all evil acts and strive to live like the Lord.
There is a song that say, “some day I’ll be like the Lord.
