Dear Covenant family,
‘Praise be to the God
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms
with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in Him before the
creation of the world’. - Eph 1:3,4
I remember my parents telling one of my siblings to stop
chewing their finger nails. It was a sign of insecurity, and when you looked at
the hands, you could see it was eating them up! Insecurity does that to you –
it eats you up – your joy in life, ability to make decisions and courage when
you look at the future.
Did you know God wants you to be incredibly secure? This is
so important on God’s agenda, that the letter to the Ephesians begins with
addressing it. This Security is to make a profound impact on our life. Join us
this Sunday as we look how the joys and blessings of a truly secure life could
be yours – in Jesus Christ!
