HAPPY INDEPENDENCE NIGERIA 🇳🇬 & HAPPY ANNIVERSARY COVENANT LIFE CHURCH This season gives us another opportunity to thank God for the gift of life, His preservation, and His faithfulness. We are still standing and surviving by His grace. Although the journey may not have been easy for everyone, God has also used this season to give many people new opportunities, fresh perspectives, and a deeper relationship with Him. My message for this season is simple: Look unto God, but also work hard. When you put your hands to work, God can breathe upon your efforts, give you direction, and help you fulfil your vision and purpose in life. Prayer is powerful, but prayer should be accompanied by action. God asked Moses, “What is that in thine hand?” (Exodus 4:2). God blesses what we are willing to put into His hands. Therefore, discover your vision, develop your skills, pursue a career or profession, build your business, and give yourself diligently to meaningful work. OCTOBER TO REMEMBER — A MONTH OF DIVINE ENCOUNTER As you dedicate yourself to prayer, study the Word of God, develop your career, profession or business, and serve God more deeply than before, may the Lord give you clear direction and divine wisdom concerning what you should do. May God also cause the right people to remember you, support you, encourage you, and open doors for you. May His Word and your righteous efforts create opportunities that bring help and favour your way. God has promised: “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee.” — Isaiah 41:10 May the Lord strengthen you, guide you, bless the work of your hands, and help you fulfil His purpose for your life, in Jesus’ name. Amen. Congratulations, Nigeria! 🇳🇬 Congratulations, Covenant Life Church! Happy Independence and Happy Anniversary! Rev. Ernest Odogba
