FROM THE DESK OF THE CARDINAL

His Eminence Sir Eric Alleyne

Chorus:
One day at a time sweet Jesus
That’s all I’m asking from you.
Just give me the strength
To do everyday what I have to do.
Yesterday’s gone sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine.
Lord help me today, show me the way
One day at a time.
Do you remember, when you walked among men?
Well Jesus you know if you’re looking below
It’s worse now, than then.
Cheating and stealing, violence and crime
So for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time.

Chorus:
One day at a time sweet Jesus
That’s all I’m asking from you.
Just give me the strength
To do everyday what I have to do.
Yesterday’s gone sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine.
Lord help me today, show me the way
One day at a time.
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

We’re together again praising the Lord, we’re together again in one accord, something good is going to happen, I can feel it in my soul, we’re together again praising the Lord. A pleasant morning to my brothers and sisters in Jesus Almighty name, beloved let us give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, for His mercies endureth forever. Almighty and most merciful God, we summon you from earth to Heaven and from Heaven to earth this morning, Father as we humbly come before your presence this morning to give you thanks, praises, honour and glory; we are asking for a fresh supply of blessings, for more faith, and your enduring spirit, so we could run and never weary and walk and not faint. Lord, we thank you for sparing our lives to see another day, have mercy on our families and friends, please direct us as we go about our daily chores; because it’s a long way to go and a victory to be won, so we are pleading; see us through Lord Jesus, see us through. Amen! Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!

To the Patriarch, my Archbishop, Queen Abbess, all ministers, members, friends and well-wishers of The Mystical Order, I greet you in the wonderful name of Jesus. What a mighty God we serve, the very God — who said to the children of Israel, ” I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, thou shall have no other Gods before me”. Brethren, today I want to deliberate a little bit on the exodus from Egypt, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Amen! Brothers and sisters, Almighty God heard the cry (prayers) of the children of Israel who were held bondage in Egypt, and He summoned Moses — who was attending to his father in law — Jethro’s flock. Almighty God told Moses, He (God) has seen the afflictions of His people, He knows their sorrows and He heard their cry, (prayers) so He is going to deliver them out of the hands of the Egyptians, and bring them to a land flowing with milk and honey. Praise the  Lord! Beloved isn’t God a wonderful and marvellous God. The God of Heaven commanded Moses to go to Pharoah and to the children of Israel, however, Moses started making excuses. Beloved some of us are like Moses in this instance, when we’re called upon to do God’s work; we too make excuses such as, I have my children to take care of, I won’t have the time, or due to my job or some medical condition. {come on people} Christian awake, watch and pray; Christ is coming back again. Amen!

Moses did as God commanded and after many setbacks, he (Moses) was able to leave Egypt with the children of Israel.     {time would not permit to give most of the exodus, so I’m jumping here and there, picking bits and pieces) (read the book of Exodus). Beloved their murmuring and bickering started when they were facing the red sea and Pharoah’s army was closing in on them. Saint of God, on several occasions when trials or temptations arose the children of Israel, questioned God through Moses, saying why did you bring us in the wilderness to die, because back in Egypt although we suffered under our taskmasters, we had food to eat and water to quench our thirst. Christian family are we reflecting on our personal experiences,(ever since mankind always want to satisfy the physical body and neglect the spiritual body). Whenever a situation arises or we find ourselves in some sort of trouble, we too murmur why me. (Where is our faith) Many a time we rebel against the ordinance and the Commandments of God, we resist the truth, our minds are corrupt; just like Jannes and Jambres (Pharaoh’s magicians, Exodus 7 vs 11) withstood Moses, but righteousness will always prevail, good must overcome evil. Amen!

Children of Jericho, it took our fore-parents 40 years to reach the promised land, however, there was a reason and purpose. According to spiritual understanding (the opinion of the writer), when they came out of Egypt {where they were held captive}, they carried with them a lot of the Egyptian ways (I’ll leave this alone and just say Egyptian culture), so Almighty God saw it fit that they had to be purged, they had to repent and some sort of spiritual cleansing had to take place, hence the reason they took forty years. Most, if not all of the older ones must have perished on the journey and it was the younger generation who entered the promised land. Amen! Believers back in those days, the children of Israel were under Moses’s law, but since Jesus, the Christ came and died for the sins of this world, we’re under Jesus’s blood, truth and God’s amazing grace. Praise the Lord! So let us take up our cross, follow Christ and allow Jehovah-Nissi to fight our battles. Hallelujah!
In closing beloved, let us thank Almighty God for His word and for sending The Light of this world. I pray that as we read this message and peruse the book of Exodus with the direction of The Holy Spirit, we grasp a better understanding and learn from our fore-parents, notwithstanding the fact that, “Thy will must be done“. Fellow travellers to eternity, as This Mystical Order recently celebrated it’s third anniversary under the leadership of the Patriarch, my Archbishop and the Queen Abbess with Jesus as their guide, I pray that this movement of God’s people (The Mystical Order), is not like unto the days in the wilderness, let us meekly wait and murmur not, let us put on the whole armour of God, that we may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand with our loins girt with truth, having on the breastplate of righteousness and be prepared with the gospel of peace. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith we shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked (mankind tongue), let us put on the helmet of salvation and be armed with the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Hallelujah!
Almighty and Everlasting Father, we thank you for Your Revealing Spirit, sow your word in our hearts insomuch that we would not be swayed by false doctrine, have mercy on our elders of The Mystical Order, please shape, mold and fashion them for your works sake, as we make this exodus (movement of God’s people). Remember our families and friends around the world today, O Jehovah-Jireh, please provide for this young generation so that they too may enter your promised land. Lord the leaders of all nations, help us to live peaceably amongst all men. O King of Zion, I bring myself before your throne, please guard, guide, protect and use me to do your work in Jesus Almighty name. Amen!
Brethren may the peace of God with love and faith abide with us all, until we meet again. Amen!
Your humble servant,
His Eminence, Sir Eric Alleyne.  LOM  OHPA  OSM
Cardinal of The Mystical Order.
Commanding Officer of The Mystical Court.
