A special message from Osmond Collins

Dec. 4, 2005 - Dear friends Romans countrymen

Today marks my 41st year on this earth as we know it. I give thanks to God for all His Mercy and Grace upon my life and His most abundant favor. I still don't fully know all that I am here for because of course the word says now we know in part. I do however continue to do what I am told like a good little child and I keep on pressing toward the mark for the prize of the highest calling which is in Christ Jesus. I am still seeking to do God's will and pray that you will all pray with me for the accomplishment thereof. The more years I gain the more I recognize that I do not know.

Today as it is my honor to know of and to write you all may I pray a special prayer for all of you.
Oh God our help from ages past our hope for eternity. I pray this day saying thank you. Thank you for all that my senses have perceived and that they are still able to perceive for that matter. I pray for these your precious ones that for those who have not yet arrived to this blessed age that they will and will exceede it. For those whom have already seen this year and gone on to greater years I pray that they also will continue on in strength. Father I pray for your abounding favor upon their lives and that today You will anoint them afresh. Father I declare healing upon their ailing flesh and their troubled hearts. Let Your loving spirit fall upon their days and direct them in every step they take. Lord I pray that their faith shall be worked and applied in all aspects of life to see your hand upon their own lives with their natural and spiritual eyes. Lord we thank you and pray that this shall not be by any stretch of the imagination a tapering down of life for them but the greatest day of their lives and with each breath they take they shall both expect and see greater moments. Excite us all with Your excellent spirit that we will run like champions through the days of our lives instead of draging our feet and sorrowing or complaining about our various troubles. Father open our eyes that we shall all see the good in all that You do in our lives in Jesus' name I pray, amen.

Bless you all and Happy Birthday to me.
