Step Into Your Destiny!Psalms 37:23-24
Grace and Peace!
We greet you in the name of our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ!
Bishop Amos Thomas Griffey, III and I would like to welcome Dr. Portia H. Shields, TSU students, friends, and relatives. Our utmost prayer for you is that God’s plan for you will rule in your life that His purpose for you will take precedence in all areas of your life. May His privileges will be manifested daily in every walk of your life.
Jesus himself said I come that you may have life and life more abundantly.
Please know and believe that God’s plan, God’s purpose, and God’s privileges will lead you to that abundant life.
Seek His plan for you, Strive to fulfill His purpose for you and
Receive His awesome privileges as you. . .Establish your footsteps in His word;
And let not any iniquity have dominion over you.
Our, as well as your Destiny is in God’s hands. He has already predetermined your course of events. Your end is held by His irresistible power. Jeremiah 29:11 says. . . “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end”.
Step into your Destiny and allow the Lord to continue to order your footsteps in His word!

Gratitude
To God be the Glory for all the things He has done!
Grati tude is more than saying, “Thank You,” when someone gives you something. Grati tude is more than an acti on which we decide to do by an act of will power. You can say the words, “Thank You,” when there is not grati tude in your heart at all. What it takes to turn the words, “Thank You,” into grati tude is the real, genuine feeling of grati tude. Grati tude is a feeling that arises uncoerced in the heart. It cannot be willed into existence directly if it is not there. Grati tude is a form of delight. But grati tude is more than delighti ng in a gift . It is more than feeling happy that you got something you wanted. Grati tude is a happy feeling you have about a giver because of his giving something good to you or doing something good for you.
Grati tude is a response to grace. Grati tude is the feeling of happiness you feel toward somebody who has shown you some undeserved kindness, that is, who has been gracious to you.
When we say, “Thank You,” to someone, we humble ourselves as a person who has needs, and we exalt them as one who can meet those needs. I do not wish to presume upon your work as my due. I am happy to put myself in the positi on of one who receives grace. I am happy to honor you as one who can meet my need. The reason a simple, unnecessary “Thank You” can say all this is because of its close associati on with grace. Since the feeling of grati tude usually rises in our hearts when someone does us an undeserved or uncalled-for favor, the expression of thanks will at any ti me communicate humility (I am a mere benefi ciary of grace) and encouragement (you are my needed and helpful benefactor).
“And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful.”
Colossians 3:15
