From the Author and Compiler of this work:

This is the word of the Lord direct From the Pulpit. It is the cocktail of Messages from the Pulpit preached by anointed men and women of God under the unction of the Holy Spirit. It is the direct interaction of the Assembly with the Message of the Holy Spirit through his servants. It is intended for the Church and mostly those who have little or no time to interact with the pulpit, as live as it can be. We wish to thank the Lord for this revelation.

As the Back to God Movement of the Assemblies of God, we are committed to the preaching of the word of God, revealing the love of God that he descended to man through his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the Redeemer and the Messiah, with the chief intention of taking Africa Back and the whole world back to God. Our primary aim is preaching the Gospel from Cape to Cairo and beyond, healing the spiritual, emotional and physiological wounds suffered by our people bruised by sin.

We believe in the God the Father, to Jesus Christ the Son and the Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus was born of God by the Virgin Mary. We believe that after suffering under Pontius Pilate he was nailed on the cross, died and was buried but, God resurrected him on the third day. We believe that Jesus resurrected from the dead was seen for forty days on walking on earth, and ascended to be seated on the right hand of the Father.

We believe that the Bible is the breath of God. We believe in the redemption of sin, we believe in the Second Coming, and the ultimate judgement, in the fellowship of the saints, in the resurrection of the dead and eternal life. We are going to worship and praise the Lord until his second return! Here is the presentation of the word of God as it wells From the Pulpit! reaching out to the lowest valleys where it would have never reached had the Son of Man never denied himself for the a retch like me. Glory be to his who came to salvage us from the pit of eternal condemnation and death in our place, paying for our sins in advance for us never to suffer condemnation again. We are resurrected with Christ. We are seated with him in high places, at right hand of God, the Father!

The different topics dealt with in this offering are all inspired by the word of God: thanks be to body of Christ, particularly to Ulundi Back to God (My Local Assembly), to the Regional Assembly of God, to National Back to God and all other anointed men and women of God who compose the preach engine of the word of God wherever they might be, especially to the intercessors who pray for the work of God and fan it by prayer, in the pursuance of the Great Commission. God is looking in greatest appreciation. This offering is to all the church of Jesus Christ around the globe.

Reference: The Holy Bible.

God bless you as you read and walk through this spiritual journey that begins now with this offering dedicated to Women’s section of the Lord’s Church, told as the Holy spirit leads.

Until the Lord’s Return!

Chapter One

Woman

Make no treaty with the enemy!

These are the words that will help us as the women section of God’s flock to keep afloat in the testing times in our life as the Children of the Living God. In most cases it is us, the women that face the tough challenges when our loved ones leave for the better world. We find ourselves wanting with little or comfort from the families into which we got married. When the husband is no more, there begin to be many directors and referees in the playing field where one faces a myriad of oppositions. Sometimes this happen when even our sons are still minors to have any say as to what the deceased father wanted and desired his posthumous life style of his family to be.

This is the reason why, it is recommended that during lighter moments do ask your husband to clearly state his wish to the family, this can be done verbally with the aid of witnesses of if need be; a will is very much in order. Many a times we have seen young widowed overpowered by the in-laws, and forced to tread onto not so very even spiritual grounds. A bereaved person in the state of moaning is in a very vulnerable one.

Many can take chances and sway a bereaved widow to any direction, sometimes in the name of culture, sometimes in the name of family dignity. We must understand that the blood of Jesus is more than the blood of goats, sheep and cattle. We must understand one thing that keeping to holiness is of utmost importance during this time. Holiness is one aspect of our life as saints that we should not let go of, because that is one aspect that we will leave these shore with, all things being equal. This is where as saints we should step in to ensure that our sister’s integrity as the Children of God is intact.

I Corinthians 10v 13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond d what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

There will always a way out during the time of temptation. Thought we may be in tribulations and temptations, God has the foreknowledge of what is going to befall us. God knows our strength and weaknesses. He even knows how we can go through that test. Our victory through these challenges is the blessing from the Lord. Temptations cannot be squashed, but all what God does is to show us the way through to victory. It is wonderful that while one was wondering aimlessly, God drew us to his love. Even the Children of Israel were driven into a test and temptation, but the cloud by the day and pillar of light by the night was the major indicator of the presence of God amongst them.

Today we walk tall, because of the Revelation that was given to us by Lord Jesus himself. We will be surprised to reach out there and find ourselves singing the new song, that the Book of Revelation, that was the song sung by us when we come home having conquered the temptations that the angels never knew. The angels were never tempted, but here on earth we are tried and tested. Though we cry to the Lord, we should know and understand that we have never been tempted beyond our dignity. There is a new song we will learn and sing. That song will be the song of victory that we earn as we struggle with the flesh and in all weakness that we have. We will be able to sing this song of victory. There will be surprise in the heaven, even the angels will be taken aback to see us coming to the Lord, with the crowns of victory we attained from.

A Lesson:

The Mourning Period for the Bereaved:

This will be the shortest lesson ever. This is the most critical period in the life of any family under the shade of the sun, especially in this case as we approach it as the House of the Lord and fellow women-saints. As the children of God we are here conscripted by the blood of Jesus Christ which saved us and brought us to this place. We have come to this place to give meaning to our faith; so that even the world out there could halt a bit and take notice, find time to reflect on us and the see the way we conduct ourselves as in the church, and find to attach testimony to it and thus open up to our salvation and yield to the Love of Jesus Christ who died not only for us only but, for the rest of human kind.

What do we do if one of us in mourning?

This question is not a selective one; it faces us all as the church. Remember saints, the blood that cleansed each and every one of us, gave us same affinity and bonded us into one huge family, hence we need each other. We need each other even at the worst of times, when one of us has lost the dearest one of the family.

Having said that saints, we are having relatives and extended families to which we are biologically and emotionally attached. The Word says; we are the appendages this colossal body – the church, that is bought by the blood of the Living Christ. This is the reason why; all we need to do as the church, is to be there with the bereaved family as soon as the clarion call rings out. This will enable us to be with our sister first and be able to do the first things first, which includes praying and helping our sister to find her spiritual feet on the ground again.

The initial encounter of the sad news can sweep one off one’s feet and leave one with wobbling legs and watery knees. When we go to that bereaved family, we should make provision for helping items, for a while the bereaved children with the mother of course are off the rails and chances are that both our spiritual and physical in put can be of much help. We could go there with some groceries handy. At a few days into the week, they use to be many people coming in and out, some of those people are blood relatives who come from far afield. They are there as moaners, especially the elders of the family that means more hands could be needed.

Besides all the other material help that we send there as the support group; we should make sure that
