There is a message that must continually be out there, that needs to be published through whatever means or media that is available. And that message is the Word of life, the message of hope, and the love of God to humanity. That God loves us eternally and unconditionally as declared in Jeremiah 31:3, is worth not only celebrating but also ensuring that everyone gets to hear and know about it. That is indeed the best way to respond and reciprocate to God’s grace and love to every beneficiary, and not doing it amounts to not only disobedience but selfishness. That is why Psalm 68:11 declares that “The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.” We have all kinds of news every day being dished …show more content…
out through the print, electronic, and digital media, but most of them offer people no hope or solution to the serious problems confronting humanity. But the good news of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ comes with love and offers humanity hope and assurance of victory over the woes and vices faced by people all through life and hereafter. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” – John 3:16. This is the good news, the message of hope that must be heard by all and sundry. No effort is too great or means too exhaustive to be enough in letting this message out. The grace, love, and power of God are so life to transform that there is no one who encounters them and keeps quiet of such a marvelous experience.
Apostle John in 1John 1:1-3, boldly declared that his writing was motivated by the experience and turnaround his life experienced by encountering Jesus. No one can keep quiet if something good and great or wonderful happens to him or her unless that person is an ingrate. That is why in Redeemed Christian Church of God, our main pre-occupation and mandate is declaring to our communities and the entire world the good news of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We have tasted of His love, grace, power, goodness, and faithfulness, and therefore have an obligation to let others hear and know of what has brought overflowing joy into our lives. And in going about this divine mandate, we employ every medium and channel possible through which this message of hope can be let out. It is in the pursuit of this mandate that the Lord laid it in our hearts to commence the publication of “Bread of Life Newsletter.” This newsletter is intended to be an instrument for those who already have established personal relationships with Jesus and those who are yet to do so, to strengthen their faith in Him and embrace His grace and love for a fulfilling experience with the Author of life. We trust God that as you read this newsletter, you’ll find food for your soul, strength for your faith, and power to run the extra mile and do great exploits for the Lord. The Lord has made you for signs and wonders, and He supplies in abundance all that you will ever need to be what He intended for you and this newsletter offers to be one of those avenues of accessing those divine supplies. Let's say, life has not been fair to you, and you are on the verge of giving up, totally depressed or believing that there is no hope anywhere. You are our loving friend on this journey, and we trust God that the Author of life Himself will meet with you and bring a
turnaround in every hopeless situation you have found yourself. I want to sincerely express my heartfelt appreciation and congratulations to the members of the editorial board especially our managing editor for their tireless efforts and sacrifice in getting this newsletter off the ground. I also want to appreciate the support and encouragement of the ministers and members of RCCG – Christ Embassy Omaha, Chosen Generation Lincoln, and Winners Assembly Bellevue, Nebraska. My prayer is that the good Lord will continually fill you with His love, grace, and enablement to fulfill all His purposes for your lives. Thank you and may the God of mercy and grace fill your hearts and surround your lives with all His goodness.
