Dear Church Family:
The Source of Abundant Joy
 Romans 8:34-39
 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?  As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
    we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.  For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,  neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Paul was speaking here of the things that might seem likely to separate a saint from the love of God. But the remarkable thing is that nothing can come between the love of God and a saint. The things Paul mentioned in this passage can and do disrupt the close fellowship of our soul with God and separate our natural life from Him. But none of them is able to come between the love of God and the soul of a saint on the spiritual level. 
The underlying foundation of the Christian faith is the undeserved, limitless miracle of the love of God that was exhibited on the Cross of Calvary; 
Paul said this is the reason that “in all these things we are more than conquerors.”
The things we try to avoid and fight against— tribulation, suffering, and persecution— are the very things that produce abundant joy in us. 
“We are more than conquerors through Him”---“in all these things”---not in spite of them---but in the midst of them. 
 The experiences of life, whether they are everyday events or terrifying ones, are powerless to “separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:39).

Shalom,

Pastor , Greetings to you in the majestic name of our Lord Jesus Christ . I pray that this humble,friendly message finds you walking in the favor of God.

God,s minister, God has invested enough message of salvation in you to get out of your country to go all over the world to preach the gospel and win more souls to Christ.

God has called you out of many, chosen you ,anointed you and approved you for his great Job.

Pastor, God has a purpose with you life.He has created you to accomplish the great things for him.

Pastor, this specific task which God has for you and no body else! whether is to plant new churches, to start a bible school or a soup kitchen of the poor,is God,s vision for you.

Pastor,God Has called you and He placed you in a specific congregation or ministry,because He has a specific task that you support to fulfill here.

Pastor , God has a task and a purpose for you.He will be with you and He will accomplish the task through His power.He will equip you and give you the power to do it.

Pastor, He is faithful.if He calls you to a task that is greater than your own abilities,He will also give you the people to support the good work you are doing for Him.

Pastor, God has a plan with your life.yes! even before you were born,He planned you in the finest detail, humble yourself before the Lord He will lift you up[James 4;-10]

Pastor, you are God,s special workmanship.psalm 139,says that God knew you before you were formed in your mother,s womb!

pastor, your greatest blessings began when God said,He created you in his image in Genesis 1;26, everything you put your hands to, is going to prosper.

Pastor, you are so precious to the Lord,silver and gold wasn,t enough.God wanted to purchase you with something more valuable than any precious mental or mineral.so He used the blood of Jesus Christ.

Surely, in everything we do,we believe in positive changing and affecting the lives of people who we are constantly working towards inspiring change.

Pastor, working together is so fruitful growth and maturity in the Lord among us.
My good friend, we are thanking God that we are connected to an anointing servant ,ministry ,who are committed in spreading the

GOOD NEWS of spreading a salvation message and win more souls and many to LOVE Jesus Christ .

We are pray that one day God will open a way you to bring His message to us-here in Africa.

May the Lord be with you, please.plant your work here in Kenya, Covid 19 will be defeated, God is able and strong to heal the World, and this will be back to normal.

Thank you,

Pastor Steven Oyaro
