1st Edition 1st Quarter 2010

Praise The Lord! It’s the year 2010 and I am so grateful to God for the many trials that He bought me through and the triumphs that He brought me to during the year 2009. “Many are the afflictions of the righteous,” says the Psalmist, “ but the Lord delivers him from every one (Psalm 34:19)!” “He is faithful that promised (Hebrews 10:23).”

Biblically, ten is a representation of the fullness or entirety of a thing. All of man’s moral laws were derived from the ten commandments. God showed the fullness of his wrath toward Egypt with ten plagues. Jesus related his second coming through the tale of the ten virgins. These are just a few among the many

examples of tens and multiples of ten being used in the bible to denote completeness. Here at Remnant, we believe that 2010 will be a Brilliant Season! As the scripture records in Isaiah chapter 60, “Behold, darkness shall cover the earth and great darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you and His glory will be seen upon you. The gentiles shall come to your light, and Kings to the brightness of your rising.” This is a time of divine reaping of souls and benefits from on High! Through the recession and multiple traumas of the last decade -- from the Y2K scare of 2000 and the terrorist attacks of 2001, to 2004’s Hurricane Katrina and the 2006 Tsunami in the Philippines -- this is a time of Glory for God’s Church. His people have been placed in a realm of opportunity to spread the message of Good News and the soon coming King! Opportunity doesn’t mean glamour on all accounts. The “darkness” mentioned in the scripture is represented by the natural disasters and depravity in the world around us. People are looking for truthful answers to the troubles that plague them today. As Believers, we hold the Key to piercing the darkness: The Risen Christ! I believe we will begin to see signs and wonders emerge throughout the Church in greater measure as the Body of Christ comes to realize the

fullness of God’s Power within. Greater fervency and devotion in this last hour will mark the saints to such a degree that people of authority and social prestige; “kings” of this present age will come to the Church for healings, deliverance, and the answers and advice that they need. They themselves will begin to experience the fullness of Christ!

We the members of Remnant of Christ , welcome our newest members: Mr. Jason George, Elder Daniel Courtney, and Miss Tiffany Johnson.
