pastor peter's sermon God's promises for Glory Evangelical Church

Funny story

My mother said to me the other day. My Dear son,
I am writing this letter really slowly. Because I know that you Don’t read very fast.
Then Mum told me that We don't live where we used to live anymore, when I was at home. Your Dad read in the paper that most accidents happen within 20 klms from your home, so we moved. Josh 1:1  After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses' aide:  2  "Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them--to the Israelites.  3  I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses.  4  Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates--all the Hittite country--to the Great Sea on the west.  5  No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.  6  "Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them.  7  Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go

1    THIS is an amazing and glorious event in the live of Glory Evangelical Ministries and Church.  [Joshua stood at the edge of a raging river and parted the waters even as Moses had done some 40 years before. For the people of Israel to pass through on dry land.] You know God is taking you from a little tiny church to his promise  land of making you into a great church of many people

2    Some time back in 2010 God gave me a vision for Glory Evangelical Ministries and Church. [ Expand]

3    The vision was in black and white of course. You see children, when I grow up all the movies were still in black-and-white. The Black-and-white was normal, Back when I was a boy. So as I said when I see visions they are in black-and-white. You see my wiring technology is pretty outdated] God gave me a vision for this church, God showed me a great crowd of people all around the church there was many thousands of them and what is more he showed me the vision three times. When God shows you a vision three times it means it's sure as it's fixed.

When Moses handed over the leadership to Joshua, to take the children of Israel to lead them across the River Jordan and into the promise land. Even though the thing was fixed and was going to happen, there was certain conditions that would have to be met.

God warned them that it wasn't going to be easy. But  they would have many obstacles to climb over.  There would be moments of great Terra. Otherwise why would He have told them to be strong and very courageous. There would be a moments of great pain. An awful loss. There would be a time right at the beginning. When a young man would be stoned to death for disobedient. There would be a time when they wouldn't ask God for wisdom and some of the enemy would escape punishment, because they didn't ask God for wisdom.

After years of hard work and struggle they had their dream of nationhood achieved and the nation of Israel had become theirs and was a reality. God has promised you that if Glory Evangelical Ministries will become successful and prosperous and a church of many people. God hasn't promised you a Rose Garden of undeserved prosperity And church growth. God has promised that if His people who are called by His name will humble themselves and pray and seek His face he will hear from heaven and He will heal your land of Pakistan                      (2 Chronicles 7: 14 ) . He is

Speaking of two Chronicles the next really big event in Israel's history was the building of the Temple in Jerusalem. And Solomon taking over as King. One thing that Almighty God seems to really like, is a good party. God ordained for there to be about four feasting during each calendar year. God knows that we need to have joy in our lives. Time to remember, special, significant times and special events. So as our service ends shortly we are going to have a party to help us remember this wonderful time in our churches history. In a couple of years time when this church has grown to over 1000 members you will look back on this day and be able to praise the Lord your God for the mighty miraculous blessings he had brought to this land of Pakistan.
