Roll the Stone Away

Blessings to you and I pray everyone is doing well. I’ll share with you how excited I am for the people of God. It is so amazing that whatever we face our God is so awesome. I want to encourage you today by sharing with you how much God will bring you peace to your situation, circumstance or problems. The word teaches us to cast our cares upon Him because he careth for you, in other words whatever you are experiencing in life, God cares about it. While friends, family, co-workers, etc say they care but don’t show it, this will never happen with God. Not only will he show you, he will show up and show out (can I get a witness?)

I am so excited about Resurrection Sunday, we are planning, praying and proclaiming the Holy Spirit will move at VCC like never before. We are petitioning God to send the harvest so we may bring love, hope and peace to the lost. We decree and declare that because Jesus has risen, we have a mandate to celebrate our Savior resurrection. Knowing that God strategically plan the death, burial and resurrection of His Son Jesus, lets me know that what I have gone through cannot even fathom how much God loves me. Even though I cannot comprehend what God is doing with me, I realized it is part of the plan for my life.

So in closing, don’t forget to thank Him for we know all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. God has a purpose for your life and when you don’t understand, keep praising and worshipping Him. You may fall but you will rise again.

Not Bitter But Better

It has been sometime since I have communicated to our readers, but let me assure you that I plan on getting better in sharing what God is doing in my life. Between my ministry, family and work they have me running 24/7, however, I count it all joy when I think about what the Lord is doing through me. I am so focus with VCC that I do not allow negativity around me instead I am surrounded with positive, constructive and productive people.

My new leadership is the epitome of what it means to be a leader, their commitment to our vision surpasses anything I ever seen. They just do not only talk it, they demonstrate the vision, mission and values of our church. They have designed a church model which is so awesome. The new members of our ministry love the model. They are life changers with a call to equip, empower and edify. I watch them connect, cultivate and care for people that are hurting, hopeless and homeless. I love them for they are truly real and great leaders.

We have incorporated new ministries, and one that I am very excited about is our dance ministry, Worshippers In Motion, they are absolutely anointed and powerful. Their style of ministry is so unique; they reach beyond the heart into the souls of the people. This ministry will be the catalyst for VCC, as we prepare to minister through the arts. We are preparing for a worship arts workshop with various ministries, this is going to be exciting.

In the past, one could say that VCC had such a fabricated, fake and false worship experience through various leaders who were non-effective because of whatever reason. But now we encounter such powerful worship through leaders who are authentic and do not have agendas. Our teachers have such an anointing and they bring the Word in every aspect of their gift. God finally released me to allow our leaders to take the reins and allow them to be used to help me lift this ministry to the next level. I often wonder why God would not release me in the past and allow certain people access to this authority, now I know exactly His plan for VCC. We are very humbled by everything God has done for VCC, even to the point exposing people that attempted to destroy our church.

The enemy has tried to deter, destruct and even destroy our ministry. It's not a secret about how I had to face oppositions because of fabrication, deception and deceit. I take the stones that people throw and use them for the vision that God has shown me for my life and ministry. I call this my Joseph experience. It's great when God will take your setback for a setup.
