CELEBRATING THE GOODNESS AND FAITHFULNESS OF GOD As we step into the concluding month in the year 2020, one of the best thing to do is to reflect on the goodness and faithfulness of the Lord in our individual lives, in our respective families, in the Churches of God, and in our nation as a whole, and return all the glory back to His name for the great things He had done, and for the greater things He will do for us in the coming year 2021 by His grace and mercy. Here is the word of the Lord for the month of December: Psalms 145:1-10  I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I

THE SOUND OF ABUNDANCE OF RAIN Study Text: 1 Kings 18: 41 - 46 Introduction: -       There had been no rain since the day Elijah declared it, and the whole land suffered from famine. There was no food for man and beast because the crops had failed for three years in a row. -       Rain was one of the most significant symbol of God’s favour to His people.
