Good morning.

Paul writes: "In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now" (Philippians 1:4‭-‬5) and again in his letter to Philemon, "I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ." (Philemon 1:6)

Yesterday evening we attended a City Celebration where churches partnering with NCMI across the city of Pretoria joined together to worship God.

Tyrone Daniel, who leads the NCMI Apostolic team, shared about the church and in particular, the significance of the local church.

We, the church, need to ask, "What is God's will and how do we fit into it?" We need to see what God is doing.

• Realign with God. He releases us into greater things.

• The church is a people who are all about Jesus.

• Jesus is the foundation of the church.

• True measurement of the church is its likeness of Jesus.

• Keep coming back to the Jesus of the Bible.

• Does Jesus take first place in everything?If it's next to Jesus, it will take the place of Jesus.

• Keep the main One, the main thing.

Have a good day. Take time, in the days ahead, to think about these truths.

Blessings.

Mike and Daphne
