2020 The year of God's Glory, Presence and Abundance

To my Face Book Family, to the Apostles, Prophets, Evangelist, Pastors and Teachers to my fellow bishops, pastors and your congregations of Living Word Covenant Fellowship, to the congregation of Living Word International Ministries

Grace, mercy and peace be with you all, I write to you concerning the year of 2020 a year of God's glory, presence and abundance. I encourage you to read this with a believing heart, and a persuaded mind that nothing is too hard for God, and all things are possible to him that believe, for the scriptures tell us "God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? Behold, I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it. Numbers 23:19-20 (NKJV)

Saturday morning (December 28, 2019) I dream a dream of walking in an open area, I look up toward the sky and the clouds was all gray and dark, but suddenly the sun begin to break through the clouds, the rays of the suns was so bright and the gray and dark clouds begin to roll away giving way to more light, then I heard the Spirit speak these verses "Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. Isaiah 60:1-2 (NKJV)" The year of 2020 is a year of God's great glory being manifested, the glory of God is coming to remove the dark and gray we have endured in this past decade, we will see more of God's glory upon our lives, marriages, businesses, finances, ministries, churches that will spill over in our city. This will not be the doing of man but the Lord God Himself will release His glory on us, "but truly, as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD-- Numbers 14:21 (NKJV)". Yesterday the Spirit of the Lord spoke and said the glory of God shall be greater on us in the year of 2020 and the upcoming decade, "For thus says the LORD of hosts: 'Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,' says the LORD of hosts. 'The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,' says the LORD of hosts. The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,' says the LORD of hosts. 'And in this place I will give peace,' says the LORD of hosts." Haggai 2:6-9 (NKJV) The definitions of glory the term for the apparent presence, accompanying power, and brilliance manifested by the appearance of a deity or divine spirit. The presence of the Lord God, His Son, or His Holy Spirit. It also indicates a witness of favor and grace of the Lord, glory includes, in addition to its radiance, honor, prestige, power, and blessing. The presence of God's glory brings automatic increase in every area because earthly wealth and prosperity have their origin in the spiritual world.

The year of 2020 is a year that begins another decade as we look at the number 2000 it is twice as a thousands, the number 1000 means divine completeness and fathers' glory, indefinite amount, perfect faithfulness, full maturity and stature. The number 20 means redemption, crowning accomplishments, divine completion for spiritual perfection and waiting with expectation. The year of 2020 will ignite a greater glory on us than that of the past churches, there will be such a great presence of Jesus in His church like never before, And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14 (NKJV) we shall be part of the great harvest of souls with signs and wonders following us, there shall be a great healing wave of glory with miracle healing being seen and heard, the glory of wealth is returning to us in abundance, God's glory will be upon cities, communities, the glory of God will accelerate the promises of God on our lives, what took a year will now take a month, what took a month will take a week, what took a week will take a day, what took a day will take an hour.

The past decade we have been challenged in our faith toward God, we the believers had endured a great attack against us from our enemy Satan himself, we have experience the loss of love ones, the denials of man, persecution, heartaches, lack, sickness, betrayal, day after day we fought battles that tried to destroy us and the purpose of God in our lives, the fight in the spiritual realm has been intense and nonstop, daily testing our loyalty to the Lord Jesus Christ, the trying of our faith has been tested, but it was much more precious than that of silver and gold the scriptures says "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Romans 8:18 (NKJV)" The year of 2020 is the beginning of a great decade of God's glory on the church and His people. For this says the Lord I will manifest myself more on you and my glory shall be seen on you, and I will restore the glory I put on you a thousand times more, my glory shall break through and rise on you like never before the Lord God will perform this.

You crown the year (2020) with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance. Psalm 65:11 (NKJV)
