DAY 27: THURSDAY, 28TH JANUARY 2021
FOCUS: IN THE DAYS OF HIS POWER, UNCOMMON HELP AND PRESERVATION FOR THE FAMILIES OF OUR LATE HEROS IN GOFAMINT
TEXT: GEN. 50:23-26
INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE FOR EFFECTIVE PRAYER
How we wish human beings don’t die. The apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ would have been here with us still. The founding fathers of GOFAMINT would have remained with us till now. No thanks to death, he has taken away a good number of our fathers in the Lord. Not to worry, their departure is a blessing in disguise.
Their absence here has united them with their Creator, Savior and Master in heaven. Also with other saints triumphant. Each of us will finish our assignments here sooner or later, when we also shall join the saints triumphant where we shall be re-united with our departed ones.
In the words of our General Overseer, Pastor (Dr.) Oludele Abina, we should live as if today will be the end of our sojourn on earth and prepare as if we may not leave in the next hundred of years.
If he comes early we are ready to go, if he delays, we are on ground, living for Him. No one should fear death. It is our link to our glorious home above.
As we remember our late leaders we should also remember the families left behind. In Genesis 50:25, Joseph instructed the Israelites to carry up his bones along with them. The spouses and children of our departed ones are their bones and off-shoot which we must carry along in our journey. The fact that those people have died does not mean we should forget them. They must live in our memory. Their families must be carried by all of us.
We remember today our Late General Overseer, Pastor Reuben A. George and his wife, Matron George, the wife of our present General Overseer, Late Matron Felicia Abina, Late General Evangelist R. Akapo, the first, the second, the third General Secretaries, Pastors Akinola, Fakunmoju and Omojugbagbe, the former Director of Finance, Pastor S. O. Shodeinde, Late Pastor Adegbenro, Late Pastor Agbi Paul, Late Pastor Kudoro, Late Pastor Bagere, Late Pastor Aremo and many others too numerous to mention. We love them, but Christ loves them more.
Many of them made impact and left their foot-print on the sound of time among us. We need to show and shower our love to them through their families.
Let us Pray:-
1. Thank you Lord for the lives and times of our late leaders, thank you Lord for the great roles that each of them played during their life-time to impact lives and to grow your church.
2. Thank you Lord for helping them to keep the faith, finished well, and now resting with you.
3. We pray today for each and everyone of Late Pastor R. A. George’s family, that your divine plan and purpose will come to pass in their lives.
4. Frustrate all the efforts and the activities of the enemy over the life of each of the children of Late Pastor R. A. George in Jesus name.
5. As the church (GOFAMINT) which God used him to plant is flourishing, let the life of each one of his children flourish spiritually and materially in Jesus name.
6. Let us mention all the names of our late leaders as mentioned above to pray and prophesy blessings upon the lives of their spouses and children in Jesus name.
7. Let each of us mention any member of GOFAMINT who has slept in the Lord and pray for their families.
8. Dear Lord, meet all needs of all members of the family of our
late leaders in Jesus name.
9. Lord, help each and every one of the members of their families to make themselves relevant in GOFAMINT in Jesus name.
10. Help us Lord to take care of the families of our departed ones at National, Regional, District, Local and personal levels Oh Lord.
11. Those of them, who are in critical conditions, rise and meet their needs Oh Lord.
12. Let me not die before my time and before I finish my assignment, dear Lord, and let no other take my position in your agenda and kingdom.
