J.E. & P.D. STURDIVANT, WELCOME PASTORSADDRESS Pastor and Co-Pastor Welcomes You All To Our Corporate Consecration And Fast, Entitled… "THE COMEBACK: THE REMNANT'S RESTORATION!" Beloveds, welcome to our CORPORATE CONSECRATION AND FAST, themed "THE COMEBACK: THE REMNANT'S RESTORATION!" "Now in that day the remnant of Israel, and those of the house of Jacob who have escaped, will never again rely on the one who struck them, but will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel. A remnant will return..." _Isaiah 10:20-27 We praise the Almighty God for His faithfulness through this past year. We have all experienced the difficulty and uncertainty of this past year: the pandemic, social injustices and terrible governance. Yet, the steadfastness of our Redeemer has been our confidence, as well as, our consolation. "For I am the LORD, I do not change, therefor you are not consumed..." _ Malachi 3:6 This year’s CONSECRATION AND FAST, just like last years', will prove to be impactful and life changing for those (the remnant) who choose to participate. It will be a time of prayers and petitions; repentance and restitution; intercessions and insights, along with bridge building and beseeching for the family, the Body and the world! I invite each of you to join me and CoPastor and FULLY participate in this Consecration. Please, don’t simply stop eating, but engage in the daily devotionals, prayer points, scripture readings, nightly zoom prayer sessions, weekly teachings and seed sowing. All of this is the Consecration, and not just the portions that we choose. "The young man said to Him, 'I have kept all these things [from my youth]; what do I still lack?" _ Matthew 19:20 The invitation for a comeback is an opportunity presented to all. The desire and the expectation of what the LORD is promising is available. However, only "the remnant"__
(DEF.) "a usually small part, member or trace remaining; a small surviving group." __ will make a comeback and experience the prophesied restoration. I invite you to join me as one of those. Welcome to this CONSECRATION OF RESTORATION. RISE UP REMNANTS! Because of Him, we remain J.E and P.D Sturdivant Pastors

everyone in the house is ‘not on the same page’, it makes it more difficult for the one(s) who are participating.

This is a full package. Please don’t eliminate any phase of it. Remember, partial obedience is full disobedience. God bless you as you journey with us… Shalom! (I Samuel 15:22, 23) DAY 1: REFLECTIONS THOUGHT: Many only want to escape, or put bad experiences behind them. However, failure to learn all that we can from it, puts us in danger of repeating it.
