Dear Good News Members and Friends,

Praise God, we have come this far ONLY

by FAITH, resting on and in the promises of our God who is our peace and strength giver.

As we leave the former days of 2018 to the

ages and begin the dawn of a New Year in 2019, let us bow in humble submission to thank God for every valley, for every

mountain and for every trial, GOD has brought us through. We stand victorious in Him and through it all because we serve

a faithful God. And never forget and always remember your name is still

VICTORY. This booklet has been put together with

you in mind, for you to have continuous victory in Christ in 2019 and beyond. The

victory that you will have in 2019 is

conveyed within the number 19.

Within the Bible, the spiritual meaning of the number 19 symbolizes Faith and

Healing. What a powerful confirmation and affirming message, that has been

echoing and resonating throughout the sanctuary of the Good News Church.

3

Remember the simple but yet powerful anointed song of deliverance, that

Evangelist Nicole Jackson ministered to us on December 9th during our 11am service? The words were, “I am healed. I am healthy. I am whole. Because the Word says so.” Those are excellent words, to

take with you into 2019. I Thessalonians 5:23 also validates the words of that song which says; And the very God of peace

sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be

preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

In fact, Jesus says so because he said, The thief cometh not, but for to steal,

and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that

they might have it more abundantly. (John 10:10)

Jesus says, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. (Mark 11:23)

4

Jesus says, Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. (Matthew 18:18-20)

Beloved, begin this new year – 2019, with words of faith, words of hope, words of

life, words of prosperity, words of victory, words of success, words that

speak of being more than a conqueror, words of encouragement, words of I can, words of expectation, words that bless

and words that heal.

Remember your words have the power to destroy and the power to build up (Proverbs 12:6). The writer of Proverb tells

us, “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its

fruit”. Will you, use words to build up people up or words that will destroy them? Like tools words can be used to help us

reach our goals – so use your tools, words with good wisdom.

5

When this happens, we can win the lost at all cost and be fitly joined together to

supply what is needed for the ministry of the Good News Church of God in Christ in

2019. My desire for all of you is that you will

earnestly take this time to consecrate and seek the face of God during these 21 days.

God bless you and keep you.

Your Servant Leader,

Pastor Samuel C. Canty, M.Ed.

What is Favor?

The best description-definition of the

word favor is best understood by using the

word delight. The favor of God can be

expressed as tangible, noticeable and

visible evidence that a person has the

approval of the Lord upon their life.

When we favor someone, or approve of

them, we want to be with them. We

delight in them and perhaps there is some

indication of wanting to be like them;

emulating, not to be a copycat but

wanting to model certain characteristics of

delight.

In this life we will connect better and

quicker with some people, whereas with

others, it will take time and with

purposeful intention, but it does happen.

Then God will create and present

opportunities such as the encounter Jesus

had at the well with the Samarian women.

Their connection was all about water.

Yes, God will take the simple things in life

to create favor – delight.

7

In the same way, God shows favor to the

ones who delight in, connect with, and

give honor to Him. Isaiah 66:2 says,

“These are the ones I look on with favor:

those who are humble and contrite in

spirit, and who tremble at my

word.” Second Chronicles 16:9 says, “For

the eyes of the LORD run to and fro

throughout the whole earth, to show

himself strong on behalf of them whose

heart is perfect toward him.” To be

“perfect” toward Him means we seek His

favor more than we seek the favor of

anyone else, even ourselves.

Remember, favor is closely related to grace

in the Bible. Those who have received

Jesus as their Savior are saved by grace

through faith (Ephesians 2:8–9) and

because of grace, they also receive the

favor of God. Those who are favored of God

know that God is with them and that

nothing can happen to them apart from

His good purpose (Romans 8:28). They

have His ear as they walk through dark

valleys (Psalm 34:15) and know that their

struggle to remain true to Him will not go

unrewarded (Matthew 10:42; Revelation

2:10).

8

In addition to outward evidences, God’s

favor can be felt in the spirit. When we

have the favor of the Lord, we rest in quiet

confidence that our sins are forgiven

(Romans 4:7), we are within the plan of

God (Psalm 86:11), and that He is there

for us at all times – because he will never

leave us nor forsake.

Our Lord invites us to seek His favor

(Psalm 119:58, 135; 2 Kings

13:4; Jeremiah 26:19; Zephaniah 2:3).

When we seek His favor, we humble our

hearts before Him (2 Kings 22:19); seek

Him for Himself, not just for the blessings,

but we seek him to know him and we seek

his face to live for him.

Finally, one way to obtain favor from the

Lord is to seek wisdom. Proverbs

8:35 says, “For those who find me

[wisdom] find life and receive favor from

the LORD.” Finding favor with the Lord

keeps our lives and thoughts pure

because we desire to please Him and

delight in him more than we desire to

please ourselves. As you begin to put

together your resolutions for 2019 make

sure one of your items is this; having favor

with God will produce favor with mankind.

Vision of the Ministry

To be fitly joined together to do ministry by delivering and

demonstrating the Gospel of Jesus Christ that will empower the local church, to establish and implement

programs that will enhance and increase faith with application of

God’s Word, to influence and impact our community until the coming of our Lord and Savior

Jesus Christ.

We are a ministry that is going from good to great, doing ministry in excellence, because we serve an

excellent God

And the LORD answered me, and said, write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may

run that readeth it.

Habakkuk 2:2

10

When a Church Works together There is nothing beyond its reach

When a Church works together, it can accomplish and carry out its God given

assignment for the Kingdom of God

When a Church works together all needs in and outside the house are taken care of

When a Church works together it will

affect the world

When a Church works together God is being glorified

When a Church works together it is

demonstrating perfect unity in the bond of peace

When a Church works together it is like

apples of gold in pictures of silver

11

What does it mean to Consecrate?

To consecrate means to dedicate something

or somebody for and to a specific purpose.

The word consecrate in Hebrew, is also

synonymous to the word SANCTIFY, which

also means to set something apart for a

specific purpose. The phrase "make holy"

also implies to consecrate.

There is a particular moral aspect to the

word, when you take the word and

translate it to purify, dedicate, sanctify,

and make holy. All of these terms are valid

translations for the word consecrate.

To sanctify is always the translation of

qâdash (the KJV is very consistent in this

regard). However, qâdash may also be

rendered to consecrate, and to hallow.

Consecration is a sort of "old-fashioned"

term. It is found most often in the Old

Testament, referencing to items that are to

be set apart as holy, for the purposes of

worshipping God.

12

That is why this 21-day fast is important so

that we can renew our life to worship and

consecrate ourselves to hear from God in

2019.

God is speaking and he wants to be heard,

so he that hath an ear, let him hear what

the spirit is saying to the church which is

YOU.

Jesus proclaimed the doctrine of

consecration throughout His ministry. All

we own and all are relationships, must be

consecrated to God, so they will not

become idols in our lives. No thing or

person is to be held above our relationship

with Jesus Christ.

The classic example is shown in Jesus' dialog

with the young rich ruler found in St. Luke

18:18-27. This ruler asked the question,

"Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit

eternal life?" Although we cannot discern

his attitude from his voice, we sense a

potential insincerity in his question from

Jesus' response to it.

13

Jesus' first response was to challenge his

sincerity in using the word "good" to

describe Him. As the Son of God, Jesus was

"good." However, if the ruler thought of

Him as just another teacher, he would have

never called Him "good," since God alone is

good. Jesus then challenged Him with the

Ten Commandments (actually, only five of

them). The ruler had the audacity to say

that he had kept them all from his youth.

The ruler's response showed a problem

with his attitude, since no one had kept all

the commandments "from his youth." Jesus

knew from his attire and possessions that

the ruler was wealthy and that this wealth

was an idol that had become more

important to him than God.

So He told the man to sell all his

possessions, give the money to the poor,

and follow Him. At this point, the innocent

"question game" had turned deadly serious,

and the ruler realized that Jesus was correct

in His prescription for his life.

14

However, the wealth was more important

to the man than following Jesus, so he sadly

turned away.

Remember, we are called to consecrate to

God, set apart for somebody special, which

is our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

What an amazing privilege, God wants you

to be ready for him so he can use YOU.

So never hold on to anything that will

separate you from knowing and hearing

from GOD.

15
