Words are not enough to depict what a Sunday Service experience at The SCOAN is like. Lively, inspiring and uplifting all fall short of the full scale of the emotion, the exhilaration and the motivation of the great move of God on Sunday, 2 August, 2015. Worship brought the congregants into the court of the Most High God and opened the doors of their hearts for the Word of God.
In a message titled WHO YOU ARE, Evangelist Catherine gave the congregation food for thought from the Word of God: “When you open and read the Bible with devotion that is with love and reverence for it, you will discover who you were, who you are and who you shall be”. According to her, we are wonderfully made and can only discover our real worth when we walk with God: “Do you know that there is nobody and there will never be anybody quite like you? In Psalm 139:14 the Bible says you were fearfully and wonderfully made.
But have you discovered your real value? When you do, a new power, a new goal, a new purpose in life will emerge. I mean, when you discover your roots in God everything becomes different. You’ll think differently, you’ll dream differently and I don’t just mean when you sleep, I mean your dreams and aspirations will change, you’ll have a sensitivity that you never had before”.
Speaking further, Evangelist Catherine observed that where we are does not matter as much as whom we are. In other words, it is our true character and not the environment we find ourselves in that makes us who we are: “Where are you? Are you in the palace enjoying all the mouth-watering rights and privileges of the king? Or are you in the pit with no light, no food, no phone, nothing? Are you in the warm arms of your father’s house, or are you in the cold arms of society? Are you in the beautiful field, or in the rough ground? Anywhere you are, it’s not where you are but who you are that counts. Who are you?”
Concluding, she urged Christians to strive to discover themselves in order to excel wherever they find themselves through Christ Jesus: “Even if you get to the best country in the world, or join the best church or group in the world or fall into the warmest arms in the world – if you have not discovered yourself, it will not last long because this is not Heaven”.
