NEW YEAR'S GREETINGS

 


A Message from The Patriarch and Presiding Prelate Sir Godfrey Gregg

To The Mystical Order Ministries: A Blessed and Prosperous 2026 - Renewing Your Faith and Commitment to the Work of the Lord

Dearly Beloved Members and Esteemed Clergy of The Mystical Order Ministries,

From my desk, I greet you with the ancient blessing of Aaron: "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift His countenance upon you and give you peace." As we embark upon the journey of a new year, I extend to each of you my sincere wishes for a 2026 filled with divine blessings, abundant prosperity, and unprecedented spiritual growth.

The dawn of a new year is a sacred moment—a time ordained by God for reflection, renewal, and rededication. As we close the chapter on 2025 and open the fresh pages of 2026, I challenge each member of our spiritual family to intentionally renew your faith and deepen your commitment to the work of the Lord. This is not merely a suggestion but a spiritual imperative for every believer who desires to walk in the fullness of God's purpose for their life.

Renewing your faith begins with honest self-examination. Ask yourself: Has my relationship with Christ grown stronger, or have I allowed the cares of life to distance me from His presence? Have I been faithful in prayer, diligent in studying His Word, and consistent in fellowship with other believers? Have I used my gifts and talents to advance the Kingdom, or have I buried them beneath excuses and procrastination? This new year demands truthful answers and decisive action.

Faith is not a static possession but a living, growing relationship that requires constant cultivation. Just as a garden needs regular watering, weeding, and nurturing to flourish, so does our faith require intentional attention. In 2026, I urge you to establish spiritual disciplines that will strengthen your walk with God. Commit to daily prayer and meditation. Immerse yourself in Scripture, allowing God's Word to transform your mind and renew your spirit. Engage meaningfully in corporate worship and fellowship, for we are stronger together than we are apart.

Renewing your commitment to the work of the Lord means recognizing that we are not our own—we have been bought with a price and called to serve a purpose greater than ourselves. Every believer has been given a divine assignment, a specific role to play in God's redemptive plan for humanity. Whether you serve in visible leadership or in quiet support, whether your ministry is to many or to few, your contribution matters immensely in the Kingdom of God.

In this new year, I call upon our clergy to lead with renewed passion, preaching the uncompromising truth of God's Word with boldness and clarity. I call upon our members to serve with renewed dedication, using your time, talents, and resources to bless others and glorify God. I call upon our entire ministry to pursue excellence in all we do, recognizing that we represent Christ to a watching world.

As we step into 2026, let us do so with unwavering faith in God's faithfulness, unshakeable confidence in His promises, and uncompromising commitment to His cause. May this year bring you spiritual breakthroughs, financial blessings, relational restoration, and divine opportunities beyond your imagination. May your faith be strengthened, your hope renewed, and your love for Christ deepened.

The harvest is plentiful, and the labourers are few. Let us arise with renewed vigour and answer the call to work diligently in the Lord's vineyard. Together, we shall accomplish great things for the glory of God.

With Patriarchal Blessing and Pastoral Care,

The Patriarch and Presiding Prelate Sir Godfrey Gregg

FROM THE DESK OF THE QUEEN ABBESS

A Message from The Queen Abbess Dr. Patriarch Hackshaw To The Mystical Order Ministries: Making Christ the Center of Your Life This Christmas Beloved Members of The Mystical Order Ministries, I greet you with profound joy and spiritual affection as we enter into this sacred season of Christmas. It is my privilege and honour to extend to you my warmest wishes for a law-abiding, peaceful, and joyous holiday season. May the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ bring renewed hope, divine blessing, and transformative grace into every aspect of your lives. Christmas commemorates the most pivotal moment in human history—when the eternal Son of God humbled Himself and entered our world as a helpless infant. This divine condescension reveals the heart of our God: a heart that loves deeply, forgives completely, and desires an intimate relationship with each of His children. The birth of Christ was not merely a religious event; heaven declared that God has not abandoned humanity but has come to dwell a...

THE ETERNAL WALK

  HH, Patriarch Godfrey Gregg The journey of faith is not limited to the span of our earthly years—it is a walk that stretches into eternity. For those who belong to the Lord, life is more than a fleeting moment; it is the beginning of an everlasting union with God. Our walk with Him is both present and eternal. From the beginning, God has desired fellowship with man.  “Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away”  (Genesis 5:24). Enoch’s life reminds us that walking with God is not bound by earthly limitations but leads to eternal fellowship with Him. Jesus confirms this promise of eternal companionship, declaring:  “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die”  (John 11:25–26). Our walk continues beyond death, for in Christ we have eternal life. Paul describes this journey beautifully:  “For we walk by faith, not by ...

THE POWER OF GRATITUDE

  HH, Patriarch Sir Godfrey Children of the Faith, Gratitude is the key that unlocks the fullness of God’s blessings. A thankful heart turns what we have into enough and more. It recognizes God’s hand in every circumstance and magnifies His goodness beyond measure. Gratitude is not merely a response to blessings received but a lifestyle that colours our perspective and strengthens our faith. In The Mystical Order, let us cultivate a spirit of thanksgiving in every season. When trials come, let gratitude be the lens through which we view them—as tools for growth and deeper reliance on God. When blessings abound, may our hearts overflow in praise and generosity. A thankful heart brings joy and peace, binds us together in humility, and stands as a testimony to the world of God’s faithfulness. Let us give thanks in all things, knowing that this is God’s will for us in Christ Jesus. Today, renew your commitment to gratitude. Let your prayers be filled with thanksgiving and your lips wit...
