The New Year has made its Grand Entry and we have not greeted it without our Shields of Faith. Hello 2024, we are so glad you came. These are notes from Sunday Morning’s message:
FAITH FOR 2024
I FELT I SHOULD SHARE THEM WITH YOU TO BRING US INTO AGREEMENT IN REGARD TO THE THEME FOR OUR CORPORATE FELLOWSHIP FOR THIS YEAR.
VERSE FOR THE YEAR:
… "By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised" (Hebrews 11:11).
LET’S CHOOSE TO JUDGE GOD FAITHFUL IN 2024 AS A CHURCH. HOW CAN WE DO THAT?
- DOUBT OUR DOUBT’S AND BELIEVE OUR BELIEF’S
- FAST DOUBT
- WE CHOOSE TO STAND ON THE PROMISES OF CHRIST OUR KING, THROUGH ETERNAL AGES LET HIS PRAISES RING, GLORY IN THE HIGHEST, I WILL SHOUT AND SING STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD.
- CONFESS DAILY, "MY GOD CAN DO ANYTHING."
- LIKE FATHER ABRAHAM, WE BELIEVE, "WHAT GOD HAS PROMISED HE IS WELL ABLE TO PERFORM."
- REMEMBER, "FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD, BEING ALONE."
NOW LET ME GIVE YOU A PRACTICAL APPLICATION, OF THIS MESSAGE. GOD’S PROMISES ARE YEA AND AMEN.
"Therefore, from one man (ABRAHAM), and him (ABRAHAM) as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude — innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore" (Hebrews 11:12).
HERE IS HOW THE DOUBTER IS GOING TO HEAR THIS MESSAGE:

Do you get it? Do you understand that we can disqualify ourselves from the promise, by negativity?
We walk by faith and not by sight. In 2024 we will choose to believe what God has promised He is well able to perform. Like Sarah, this is our faith confession.
HEBREWS 11:11
"SHE JUDGED GOD FAITHFUL WHO HAD PROMISED."
GayNell and I are all in when it comes to standing in the gap for you and your families.
Keep the Faith,
Cleddie and GayNell Keith
