“Un-leasing our praises unto God”

Northern Georgia Second Ecclesiastical Jurisdictional COGIC Scholastic Motivational Ministries (SMM)

God’s Blessings to all,

We greet you on behalf of the: Scholastic Motivational Ministries (SMM), Youth in Action.

Giving Praises unto God for our leaders: The Honorable Bishop Mark Walden, Prelate; our Elect Lady, Evangelist Dorothy Walden and our Supervisor of Women, Mother Bertha Fitts; all of whom lead by precept and example. We are truly “Blessed” to have Godly leaders, in these times of uncertainties, as we “Un-lease our praises unto GOD”.

As we know, life is a process, but sometimes we as individuals do not grasp this concept nor incorporate it into our everyday lives; but please.....process this: God is omnipotent (all-powerful), omnipresent (all- present) and omniscient (all-knowing).

Why should we want to Un-lease praises unto God? Because of whom God is that in itself says it all! At its most fundamental level, the concept of all-powerful refers to God's ability to do absolutely anything God wants. God's characteristic is that of the “absolute creator”; Glory be to GOD. Since God is capable of creating existence itself, then surely he must therefore be capable of anything but failing. Saints, it is time out for playing church, we must allow GOD; the GOD of our salvation to saturate our very being as we “Un- lease our praises unto him”. Are you ready for GOD to do a new thing in you? Because God is the absolute creator, God has the ability to do absolutely anything God wants. God’s "power is vast" (Job 9:4). He is "the Lord strong and mighty" (Ps. 24:8), "great and awesome" (Deut. 7:21), "the Lord Almighty, the Mighty One of Israel" (Isa. 1:24). "Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you. O great and powerful God, whose name is the Lord Almighty, great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds" (Jer. 32:17-19a). The Creation is a testimony to "God’s great power and mighty strength" (Isa. 40:26). God is Lord of lords and King of kings; Praise his “HOLY Name”!

“The best we can do is to willingly acknowledge our errors, be thankful that we can always begin again on any task and be grateful that we have the experiences of others to help guide us through”.

We should praise the Lord with our Whole Hearts, so that God can be Un-leased in the way we walk, in the way we talk, in the way that we treat our neighbors, in and outside of the church. We sometimes rationalize our actions with phrases like “That’s just the way I am” or “They should know me”. Yes they should, but remember and never forget that “ God is Omniscient”.

Please pray for the SMM as we are “Preparing today’s Youth to be Tomorrow’s Leaders”.

Yours in Christ, Gwendolyn Bonner Missionary Gwendolyn Bonner, President (SMM) TABLE of CONTENT CONTINUES

Life is a process

Life is a process; we are learning as we go, each experience shed light on our own plans for proceeding. The steps we are taking in unison, as well as on separate but parallel paths enhance the particular movements of us all.

Life is a process; we often expect perfection from ourselves, forgetting that we're all beginners in life. The best we can do is to willingly acknowledge our errors, be thankful that we can always begin again on any task and be grateful that we have the experiences of others to help guide us through.

Yes, “Life is a process”; we learn, we share burdens, reformulate ideas, and restructure our values as we develop. Every change we alter the steps we take, which in turn, alter someone else's movements as they also grow.

Time is a dressmaker, whose specialty is “alterations”, embrace her! May God Bless us all!!!
