PRESS FORWARD

 


 HH, Patriarch Sir Johnson

Beloved Finishers,

As I close these messages, I want to leave you with a simple but powerful exhortation: press forward. No matter what you have faced, what you are currently experiencing, or what lies ahead, press forward. Do not quit. Do not retreat. Do not settle. Press forward.

Some of you are exhausted, carrying burdens that feel too heavy. Press forward. Some are discouraged, wondering if their efforts matter. Press forward. Some are wounded, still bleeding from recent battles. Press forward. Some are confused, unable to see the path clearly. Press forward.

Pressing forward does not mean moving quickly or perfectly. It simply means refusing to stop. It means taking the next small step even when you cannot see the entire staircase. It means choosing progress over perfection, movement over paralysis, faith over fear.

You are closer to a breakthrough than you realize. Many quit just before the victory appears. They endure ninety percent of the difficulty and abandon the race just before crossing the finish line. Do not let this be your story. What you have already invested is too precious to waste by stopping now.

History is filled with examples of those who succeeded simply because they refused to quit. They were not more talented, more connected, or more favoured. They simply outlasted the opposition, outlasted the difficulty, outlasted the doubt. They pressed forward when quitting would have been easier.

I believe in you. I believe in your calling. I believe in the destiny written over your life. I believe you have what it takes to finish what you started. Now you must believe it too. Silence the voices of doubt, ignore the statistics, reject the limitations, and press forward with holy determination.

The best is yet ahead. Your greatest victories await. Your finest moments are still to come. But you must press forward to reach them. So strengthen your resolve, lift your head, set your face like flint, and press forward.

Your Patriarch believes in you.

Patriarch Johnson

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...
