Letter From The Editor

Grace and Peace be unto you UNITED,

Happy New Year!!!!

2015 is here and I pray you had a blessed holiday season, and a chance to recuperate after all the excitement. This year we are going deeper than resolutions, we are going after the heart of God. In this month of consecration, may you receive a spiritual awakening as the Lord draws you closer and ministers to your heart, body, mind and soul! It is time to walk in ALL that God has prepared for us!

There is a palpable expectancy in the Body of Christ as we get ready for - The Encounter. National Holy Convocation is our most anticipated and glorious moment of each year when we come together for powerful worship, teaching, transformation and fellowship! July 14-18, there is no where else to be than Atlanta, GA. Come expecting, #UNITEDencounter.

Be blessed as the Lord opens up the new year with a word from Prophetess Corrie N. Williams that will minister to our hearts and set the tone for the year, Forward March. Be encouraged UNITED, and above all, continue to stand.

In His Service, Annette ParkinsEditorwww.unitedcovenantchurches.org

Page 4: United Times ~ January 2015

In the book of Joshua we see the children of Israel cross over the river Jordan and into the land of promise. Joshua, the successor of Moses, was the set man who God entrusted with His people. As the book of Joshua opens, God gives Joshua clear instructions for leading His people, along with a promise. Moses, my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. (Joshua 1: 2-3) What I really love about God is, He also felt it was important for the people to know that He was with Joshua. And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee. (Joshua 3:7). I believe this declaration was necessary to solidify trust between Joshua and the people. Now...let's unify and move forward.

We must first Focus. Focus requires a clear plan to obtain whatever your goals may be. There is an old saying..."Those who fail to plan, plan to fail." The planning process helps us to combat the distractions and obstacles we will face through out the year. In Joshua chapters 2 and 3, we first see Joshua sending spies out to check out the land they are to conquer. He needed to know what they were up against in order to lead the people into victory.

Forward March...Part 1

Forward March is a military command given to soldiers by their superiors. "Forward" is the command first ordered to let soldiers know that an executory command is coming. "March" is the executory command. When soldiers hear this command they move from there stagnate position and began to march forward. As we embark on a new year, it is important to focus all of our efforts toward the plan of God, through us, for the year. It is very easy to get caught up in resolutions, slogans and the hype that comes with the thought of a "clean slate". After all of the excitement has died down, where are you going? What steps are necessary for you to take in order to lead your ministry forward this year? With all of the civil unrest within our society, how do we reassure the people that God is still in control?

Page 5: United Times ~ January 2015

As leaders, God is requiring us to stay before Him so we are leading with our eyes wide open. In His presence and through prayer, God will show you what lies ahead. As we acknowledge Him, He will direct our paths. Once Joshua felt confident with their ability to continue forward he then commands the people through prophecy, Sanctify yourself, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders amongyou. (Joshua 3:5). As leaders, it's important to maintain clear focus all the way through to victory.

Secondly, we must build our Faith. As the children of Israel, it can be challenging to get our hopes up when we've been in a place for so long. We've heard about the promise. We have even seen the promise afar off. But for so long, for so many years we have been going around in circles. The first few weeks of a new year we are screaming, "This is my year!!!" or "We are moving into bigger and better this year!!!" Yet at the end of the year we are still stuck in the same place. We find ourselves having to encourage others while we are discouraged ourselves.

I challenge you this year to first sanctify yourself. This month is universally a month of consecration. This year stretch yourself by not only turning over your plate, but as a leader, separate yourself and get in the face of God like never before. Purify and prepare yourself for the journey ahead. Through sanctification we can clearly hear God's instruction for the year. Faith is the substance of things hoped for. When we break down the word substance, sub means under and stance means to stand. Faith is the understanding of what God is promising us as his people. The understanding of the process helps us to maintain within the process. Let's make it a practice this year to consistently build our faith through prayer, purification and prophecy.

To be continued...

“Supernatural Increase”Focus & thrust:

Evangelism, Education & Economical Empowerment

The Scriptures were Prophetically down-loaded to my spirit by God. He told me to simply turn to the 20th book in each Canon; go to the 1

chapter and the 5 verse in each book. What I found was laced with revelatory radiance; an awesome illumination was released to catapult

us into “Supernatural Increase” in 2015!

Prov. 1:5 ESV

“Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance.”

James 1:5 ESV

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.”

The Proverbs are a core of knowledge and experience that God says we must have if we are to live successfully. God gives to us, keen

instructions, through the Wise Sage Solomon universal principles that apply to all people of all times. No one ever finishes the study of

wisdom; there is always more to learn.

The wisdom that God gives is not necessarily information on how to get out of trouble but rather insight on how to learn from one’s

difficulties (Prov. 29:15) It is not more information about how to avoid times of testing but instead a new perspective on trials. The

wisdom of God begins with a genuine reverence for the Almighty (“the fear of the Lord” Ps. 111:10, Prov. 9:10) and a steadfast

confidence that God controls all circumstances, guiding them to His good purposes. (Rom. 8:28).

Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Ezell Ford, John Crawford and Tamar Rice are just a few of the names of young African Americans who have been killed by police officers. In light of recent events, we are forced to step back and reflect on police-civilian relations and how the increasing intensity affects our community.

While we understand that law enforcement officers have a demanding duty to “protect and serve”, we also understand that a gunand a badge does not afford these officers the right to harass and mistreat civilians, particularly African Americans. The standard is now to shoot first and ask questions later, giving our young men and women the death penalty before they’ve had an opportunity to be tried. Something is radically wrong.

Black Lives Matter! African Americans of all ages must continue to rise up like never before and sound this awareness passionately everywhere. As we are making our voices heard, we must also learn how to conduct ourselves appropriately shouldwe ever be pulled over or stopped by a local law enforcement officer. We urge you to be compliant, even if you are in the right. Refrain from giving them a reason to hurt or kill you. We are worth more than a bullet. There is purpose and destiny inside each of us. Cooperate and trust God for favor that things will work themselves out in litigations.

I AM SOMEBODY

“Law and order exists for the purpose of establishing justice and when this fails in the process they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress.” ~Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

By Minister Ronald M. John

Page 25: United Times ~ January 2015

“For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” ~ Jeremiah 29:11

Indeed, we are African Americans, but first we are humans…Humans fighting for freedom, justice and equality. We are seeking a radical change, and the change has to begin with us. We must change our attitude, our perceptions and our responses to injustice. Continue to stand tall, square your shoulders and walk proud, and whenever you get weary, just say to yourself, I AM SOMEBODY!

We continue to pray and cover the youth of Uc3 and youth in our community!!

Be encouraged, be blessed.

Increase Me is not just another self help book written by someone twenty years removed from struggle. This book takes a realistic and transparent look at life and how we live it.

Increase me is just as much strategic as it is motivational. Each chapter builds on itself in an effort to build your arsenal and

equip you for any challenges that may lay ahead. Most people in life have a pretty good idea of where they would like to see

themselves. They are aptly able to tell you what type of home the desire, what brand of car they would like to drive, how they would

like their marriage to play out, or even what they want their careers to look like at its end. A small percentage of people

actually have a plan and tools as to how they plan on arriving at all of these amazing places.

Increase Me will equip you with an easy to remember, easy to implement plan of action as well as provide you with a treasure chest of tools and wisdom to use along the way. Life is a journey and the Word of God is your roadmap. Increase Me will help you

to avoid traffic along the way! Enjoy the ride!

We Honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

In 1986 Martin Luther King Jr. Day was established as a U.S. federal holiday. Since that time, each year on the third Monday in January, Americans join in the celebration of Dr. King to reflect on his message of civil rights and social justice for all through nonviolent means.

The purpose of the public holiday is to remember the struggles that people have had to overcome to obtain civil rights. Take part in the MLK Day of Service, the President's national call to service initiative. It calls for Americans from all walks of life to work together to provide solutions to our most pressing national problems.

This year as you consider the legacy of Dr. King, consider the perspective of Syreeta McFadden: We are past the point where any of us should be satisfied with flat conversations around racisms –structural or interpersonal. We are past the point that we can deflect. It’s time that we ask harder questions of ourselves and entertain – even demand – difficult answers. We shouldn’t have to have another march from Ferguson to Jefferson City to assert the personhood of black Americans in 21st century America. We can’t be afraid to talk honestly about the brutal legacy of slavery or its phantom effects that pervade every aspect of our society. We can’t be afraid to acknowledge racism for fear of being labeled racist.

We can’t rely on the reality of the Obama presidency to substitute for the deep, authentic work of interrogating who we really are, and the depths of our racial fears and biases. We cannot have to march in the streets for another year, and another, to remind America that black lives matter.

The dream lives on!
