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

                             RECOMMENDED ATTENDANCE
 Co-Pastor and I strongly encourage you to, not only attend each meeting VIRTUALLY
   yourself, but also, for spouses to bring their spouse; parents bring your children and
singles; bring your friend(s). Going through this together, (1) promotes unity (2) stimulates
   conversation and (3) creates an atmosphere of understanding “why we do this.” When
everyone in the house is ‘not on the same page’, it makes it more difficult for the one(s)
                                 who are participating.
FAITH UNITED MINISTRIES’
                   CORPORATE FAST AND CONSECRATION
   “2021: "THE COMEBACK: THE REMNANT'S RESTORATION!"
The Daily Thought, Scripture Readings, Memory Verse and Prayer Points are designed guides to (1) keep you
  focused, (2) replace what you are abstaining from with the Word of God, (3) have you operating in a
 spirit of corporate unity, and finally (4) prepare you and I for living in dominion, in every phrase of our
lives. 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. Reflect on your actions/choices or you will repeat them!
SCRIPTURE READING: Matthew 19:16-22
MEMORY VERSE: Psalm 119:59, 60
PRAYER: "Father, bring to the surface of my mind, any and all issues that I have
ignored dealing with, IJMN" Amen!

DAY 2: EXPECTATIONS
THOUGHT: Please don't allow the disappointments of last year, cause you to
lose hope in this year. If you raise your gaze from your substance to your
Source, you will never be put to shame!
SCRIPTURE READING: Psalm 62:1-12
MEMORY VERSE: Psalm 102:13
PRAYER: "Father, I have made the mistake of looking around me...instead of
looking above me. Give me the sense to look to You, IJMN", Amen!

DAY 3: MASTERY
THOUGHT: The fact that many of us are not where we desire to be, is not
because of the devil; not because the odds are against us; some of it is because
we lack the discipline in our flesh, to accomplish our goals!
SCRIPTURE READING: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
MEMORY VERSE: Romans 7:23
PRAYER: “Father, give me the grace to master my flesh, before my flesh (habits)
master me, IJMN" Amen!

DAY 4: NAME IT
THOUGHT: Name the thing that you want to be able to say that
you accomplished at the conclusion of this New Year. Write it down!*DID

MEMORY VERSE: Habakkuk 2:1
PRAYER: "Father, I have a tendency to be easily distracted from goals; by Your
Spirit, like never before, help me to stay focused this year, IJMN", Amen!

DAY 5: AFFLICTION
THOUGHT: It is inevitable that affliction will come. Jesus said so (John
16:33). However, it is also possible to use our adversity to our advantage.
SCRIPTURE READING: John 16 (ENTIRETY)
MEMORY VERSE: Psalm 116:71
PRAYER: "Father, that which was meant to destroy me, this year, let it be used to
catapult me into my destiny, IJMN" Amen!

DAY 6: NAKED
THOUGHT: There is nothing that we do privately, that is not layed naked
before the LORD. What we don't want exposed later, let's put it under the
blood TODAY!
SCRIPTURE READING: Isaiah 32:9-15
MEMORY VERSE: 2 Corinthians 5:3
PRAYER: "Father, as I humble myself to You, clothe me in righteousness, IJMN",
Amen!

DAY 7: TRUTH
THOUGHT: It has become commonplace for many to handle the truth
rather loosely. So much so, until we start to believe our version of truth and the
lies we have told ourselves...and others. Purpose to walk in the truth of God,
and not our personal opinions.
SCRIPTURE READING: John 8:31-47
MEMORY VERSE: Psalm 51:6
PRAYER: "Father, we know that liars have a place in hell (Revelation 21:8).
Therefore, whenever I speak, help me to keep eternity in my view, IJMN", Amen!

DAY 8: IDENTITY
THOUGHT: Everyone is trying so hard to "fit in" with everyone, until
believers are no longer resembling their LORD. to get Heaven and earth to
acknowledge the Christ in us...we must have Christ in us!
SCRIPTURE READING: Matthew 5 (ENTIRETY)
MEMORY VERSE: 1 Corinthians 11:1
PRAYER: "Father, I want to honor You in all that I do. Give me the ability to
represent You in a righteous way, IJMN" Amen!

DAY 9: ARMOR
THOUGHT: What impacted us negatively last year, was because we were ill
prepared for it. If we are going to have Kingdom success, we must dress the part!
SCRIPTURE READING: Colossians 3:1-17
MEMORY VERSE: Ephesians 6:10, 11
PRAYER: "Father, I don't want to lose another battle unnecessarily. Help me,
through You, to be more than a conqueror, in every facet of my life, IJMN" Amen!
DAY 10: MOVEMENT
THOUGHT: Many feel that they have lost time due to the events of 2020.
But, God who is time, considered all of that when He promised to restore us!
SCRIPTURE READING: Joel 2 (ENTIRETY)
MEMORY VERSE: Joel 5:15-17
PRAYER: "Father, I totally submit my New Year to You. As You order my steps, give
me the grace to follow your lead, without reservation, IJMN" Amen!
