  1. Greetings and praise the Lord to Haki family.

  2. As we enter the last quarter of this year, I'm privileged and delighted to remind you that you are finishing the year strong, I am finishing the year strong.

  3. Together, we are finishing the year strong.

  4. And this not by our effort, but by the impartation of uncommon grace.

  5. And the Trinitarian blessing, as we well know it as captured in 2 Corinthians chapter 13, verse 14, has these three things to remind us.

    2 Corinthians 13:14

  6. Number one, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, number two, the love of God the Father, and thirdly, the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

  7. Number one, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

  8. You see, grace is God's unearned favor, his unmerited goodness, love, compassion, and mercy to we the undeserving.

  9. And here's the good news because it is the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, no one and nothing can stop God from releasing his abundant grace upon you, your family, his church, our nation, because he is the God of all grace.

  10. And therefore, as scripture reminds us in Hebrews 4:16, let us therefore with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in our hour of need.

    Hebrews 4:16

  11. And in 2 Corinthians chapter 9, verse 8, we are reminded that God is able to make all grace abound to us, so that at all times, through all seasons, having all that we need, we will abound in every good work.

    2 Corinthians 9:8

  12. So, my brother, my sister, do not depend on your own strength.

  13. Lean in and lean on God's grace.

  14. Secondly, the love of God the Father.

  15. In Jeremiah chapter 31, verse 3, God speaks and he says, I have loved you with an everlasting love, and I have continued to draw you to myself with my loving kindness.

    Jeremiah 31:3

  16. What a promise! And in Romans chapter 5, verse 8, scripture says, God has demonstrated, God has shown his love for us in this.

    Romans 5:8

  17. While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

  18. You see, this means that number one, God's love is dependable, God's love is steadfast, God's love is unconditional, God's love is unshakable.

  19. So I encourage you, let God's eternal love anchor you in his grace and give you confidence even as he propels you forward.

  20. Finally, the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

  21. You see, the Holy Spirit is not just our companion, he is God with us, and he is God in us, he is our teacher, our friend, our comforter, our counselor, our guide, and so much more.

  22. In Psalm chapter 32, verse 8, God speaks and he says, and he says, I will instruct you and teach you in the way that you should go, I will watch over you with my eye.

    Psalms 32:8

  23. Child of God, you are never alone, because God's presence strengthens you, guides you, and empowers you to impact your world because you are an empowered world changer.

  24. Therefore, in closing, I pray for you and also I pray for myself that may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ uplift you.

  25. May the love of God embrace you, and may the fellowship of the Holy Spirit empower you to do his will, bringing glory to his name.

  26. You have been impacted by grace.

  27. Impact your world with God's grace.

  28. Let's pray.

  29. Now may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now and forevermore.

  30. Amen.
