Welcome to Christ Ambassador Church 

Thank you for getting yourself a copy of Christ Am-bassadors monthly newsflash. We hope that as youread our newsletter, you will be empowered into an-other realm of the knowledge of Our Lord Jesus Christand experience His grace in abundance!

It is our prayer that you will walk a life full of blessingsand in the abundance of God's promises for you. Mayyou be empowered to achieve your goals, live in pur-

pose and the fulfill destiny. May His spirit guide youand lead you every day through the storms and thehighlights of your life with great courage and perse-verance.

Excellence begins when we know that beinggood or competent alone won't carry the day,when doing more or trying harder alone won'tbridge the gap but that excellence is absolutelythe only alternative. All of us have had momentswhen we succeed seemingly without effort.

YoursinChrist, 

Brother Willis Oluoch

ChangesinChurchLeadership

The Lord has promised that He will not leave us

Hebrews 13:5

And I Praise YOU because of the wonderful way YOU

created me. Everything YOU do is marvelous!

Of this I have no doubt

Psalm 139:14

Your way is perfect, Lord, and your Words are correct.

YOU are a shield for those who run to YOU for help!

Psalm 18:30

As a church of Christ Ambassador, we extend our pro-

found gratitude trusting and believing you have had

a blessed month full of sufficient Gods grace and

love. The church of Christ Ambassador has experi-

ence changes in the recent past weeks in its organizational struc-

ture. This has seen Pastors Jimmy and Mercy Macharia joinChrist Ambassador church replacing Pastor Peterson Okoth, 69,

who has retired from the position he served for eight years. Pas-

tor Okoth have served a glorious and successful life in the min-

istry of serving our almighty God. We wholeheartedly welcome

the predecessors of Pastor Okoth, Pastor Jimmy and Mercy

Macharia with humility in their endeavors of servant leadership.

We ask God to grant them the spirit of wisdom and revelation in

the knowledge of God. This is to accentuate, one sure sign of 

spiritual maturity of a Christian is the ability to discern and walk 

in Gods perfect will as congregation of parishioners believing

and worships God.

February2012Issue Page5.

 

Quite often, we just work and intentionally or

intentionally do not know when to give our bod

ies a rest. Equally important, it is perfect to be

hardworking and very diligent at work but in all

probabilities, it is important to recognize the fact that as

human beings our bodies have limits of exhaustion it can

bare. However, it is important that you take cautiously

good care of your body, not only in the things you eat,

but also in making sure your body is well rested. In the

scripture, we are summoned that God blessed and sancti-

fied the seventh day: “because that in it He had rested

from all His work…” (Genesis 2:3).

The Lord rested because He was exhausted. This is a

clear indication that every individual need to rest theirbodies to recover from exhaustion. Consequently, failure

to do so we risk our bodies of wearing out unknowingly.

Giving your body a spree time of rest is a way of main-

taining good health which should be taken with great

considerations.

So as a child of God fellowshipping in the church of 

Christ Ambassadors, find some amble to rest after a hard

labor or hectic errands. This is essential for your wellbe-

ing!
