general electoral convention | Long Beach CA | November 24-29
Welcome to
General
electoral
Convention
2014
People of God,
Paz de Cristo.
My family and I welcome you to our great General
Electoral Convention. It is with great satisfaction that we can
say: “Eben-ezer, thus far the Lord has helped us.”
Eben-ezer was the name of a small village in
Palestine, but the prophet Samuel on one occasion took a
stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen and called its
name Eben-ezer. From that moment on Eben-ezer adopted
a new connotation. Before, it was a geographical location,
now it becomes an event, or an occasion. The stone that
the prophet places is now to commemorate not just a place,
but also a battle and a victory. Now, it represents a new beginning, a change in the course of the children of God, and
even more, it represents a pact of God’s help between Him
and his people.
After 18 intense months we arrive at this moment very
joyful because God has never let go of our hand. On some
occasions, we have wanted to let go of His, but his pact of
help goes beyond our reactions. God is definitely with us, He
has shown us all the time, and to the point where there is no
doubt that He loves and desires that the Apostolic Assembly
be a healthy and a prosperous church with a future. There
is nothing that can destroy it if we are united and holding on
to God’s hand. Today, more than ever we must look towards
that future, a wonderful future, filled with new and extraordinary challenges.

The theme that is going to unite all of us during these
days is: “Your Kingdom come, your will be done: Passion,
Power and Purpose.” We cannot stay on the shore; we have to
keep on rowing in the deep sea. We cannot stay in the past,
not even in the present; we must project ourselves towards the
future, to deeper and greater things. To achieve this, we need
God to do his part, but we also need to do ours. His Kingdom
and will is what we expect from Him. This is, his direction and
divine action. There are definitely things that only God can do
in order for us to obtain His blessing, but there are things that
only we can do for Him to do them. His Kingdom and will, determine his part; passion, power and purpose determine ours.
God is more than willing for His church to grow and crystallize its dreams, but the church needs to put a lot of passion
into what it does. If there’s something that should characterize
us, it should be the passion with which we do things for God
and His Kingdom. This will imply that we change our attitude.
Our attitude should reflect our faith in an almighty God who
is capable of changing any situation. In this convention, we
must change our attitude towards everything we do. We
should come early to the services and willing to worship God
like never before. During the sermons and conferences, we
should support the orators like never before. During the business meetings, we should participate like never before. In the
hallways and meeting places we should greet one another,
especially the souls and visitors from other countries; we need
to reflect the joy of the Lord in us like never before. Let’s not
lower our guard, the enemy of our souls will try to ruin this spiritual activity, but let’s remember that greater is He that is in us,
than He that is in the world.
People of the Lord, Sara and I thank you for the great support
and the respect that you have given us during these years.
We could never repay you for all of your affection and understanding. God bless all of you and God bless the Apostolic
Assembly.
Fraternally,
