The Voice of Our Leader WELCOME TO THE 2022 MINISTERS & WORKERS CONVOCATION! It is indeed a pleasure to extend a heartfelt welcome to each of you to our upcoming 2022 Ministers and Workers Convocation. The gathering of the Saints is always a refreshing and encouraging time of fellowship as God continues to equip, empower, and embolden our constituency in our most Holy faith. In our own finite understanding, we often find ourselves putting God in a box and limiting Him, but the Word of God tells us that we serve a God whose power, capacity, knowledge, being, compassion, grace and Holiness is immeasurable. Therefore, we thank the Lord for each of our Spirit-led speakers who will impart wisdom and knowledge in helping us understand the magnitude of this great gift of the Holy Ghost that is set apart for believers who ask for power, anticipate power, and embrace power for Kingdom living. To that end, our 2022 Ministers & Workers Convocation theme is: “PERSEVERING IN OUR FAITH & EXPECTING A SUPERNATURAL MOVE OF GOD ” II Kings 4:8-37 If there ever was a time to utilize the God-given power of the Holy Ghost, it is now for we know that there is no limit to what God can and will do. And, if we pray and believe, all things will be possible through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Therefore, let us continue to persevere in our most holy faith in an effort to keep an open line of communication with God DAILY so we can experience authentic deliverance, miraculous healing, and celebrate with those who God will set free ALL because they/we have experienced a SUPERNATURAL move of God! Your presence is an indication that you are committed to growing and developing in your faith. Not just for yourself, but for your home, your church, your community, and in all souls you are blessed to impact for life-change. Please come praying, come believing, and come expecting an overflow of the anointing of God.to lift burdens & destroy yokes in the matchless POWER of God! Your Servant in Christ,
Bishop James E. Hornsby Bishop James E. Hornsby, Prelate Texas Northeast First Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Church of God in Christ, Inc.
