In the Scriptures, we see countless examples of God’s divine impartation—moments when He bestowed His grace, wisdom, and power upon His people. From the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost to the transformative encounters of individuals throughout the Bible, we are reminded that God desires to impart His divine presence into our lives.
This year, I urge each of you to open your hearts and minds to receive what God has for you. Divine impartation is not merely a one-time event; it is an ongoing process of receiving and sharing the gifts of the Spirit. It is about becoming vessels of His love, grace, and truth in our communities and beyond.
As we reflect on this theme, let us commit to:

1.       Seeking God’s Presence: Make prayer and worship a priority. In His presence, we find clarity, purpose, and strength. Let us gather as a church to seek Him earnestly, inviting His divine guidance into our lives.

2.       Embracing His Gifts: Each of us has been uniquely gifted by the Holy Spirit. This year, let us discover and cultivate these gifts, using them to serve one another and to advance God’s Kingdom.
3.       Sharing the Blessings: Divine impartation is not just for our personal benefit; it is meant to be shared. Let us be intentional about reaching out to those in need, offering hope, encouragement, and support to our neighbors and communities.
4.       Growing in Faith: As we receive from God, let us also deepen our understanding of His Word. Engage in Bible studies, discipleship programs, and fellowship opportunities that will help us grow in our faith and knowledge of Him.
5.       Living in Unity: As the body of Christ, we are called to work together in harmony. Let us celebrate our diversity and come together in unity, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us as we pursue His mission.
As we embark on this new year, let us be expectant for the divine impartations that God has in store for us. May we be open to His leading, ready to receive His gifts, and willing to share His love with the world around us.
I pray that this year 2025 will be filled with abundant blessings, transformative encounters, and a deeper relationship with our Lord. Together, let us walk in faith and experience the fullness of His divine impartation.
In Christ’s love, – Bishop Richard Ero
