his wife missionary monique lewis our overseer philip dixon associate pastor minister darvin dixon and the man of the hall pastor harold dixon and his wife all other officers online on in the congregation all other brethren online or in the congregation friends and well-wishers i am missionary morrison and with me we have sister g fellas and sister kedian mark falling she will present to you now a poem entitled o mighty man of valor by terry doubler [Music] in the darkest hour when all in fear the enemy power there is one who knows he was chose for such a time as this a battle he wouldn't miss in his armor prayer is weapon of choice a shout of praise he gives voice for the lord is god reigns is commissioned again go forth in my name for this is your power i will be with you almighty bless the lord [Applause] thank you the term mighty man of valor is synonymous with gideon one of the judges in the bible the word valor means strength of mind in regard to danger that quality that enables a person to encounter danger with fairness personal bravery courage and poorest so bishop aaron thompson god representative on earth would have appeared to our mighty man of valium errol pastor arrowley dixon just as god representative the angel who appeared to gideon in judges 6 verse 2. our dear pastor may have tried to talk himself out of the position just as gideon did with the angel he may have told him about his age he's too young his children and our sort of things to get out of this position but like the angel bishop irony thompson would not have any of this because he was other man that he needed to go to may maypen deliver the people from the enemy as in gideon in the case of gideon the midianites and the amalekites but perhaps our pastor like gideon wanted a sign he wanted to ensure that he was making the right decision you would have told bishop he needed to hear from god he may have asked his close friends to help him pray and fast so the answer would come from god saying erali dixon you have to go to maplin there's no getting around the people of mapain need you to help them fight against the midianites and the amalekites perhaps like gideon our mighty man started his pastoral journey with fear and apprehension and would have sought god to give him strategies to ensure that he was with him as a young pastor like gideon who had faced many opposition the amalekites and the media of the may pain hero one of the first thing pastor had to do was to tear down the bell of this era the satan kingdom that ruled over race track and his surrounding hero what the lord stood in the gap and as always was true to his word that upon this pot of gold one a face street i will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail and after 39 years this mighty man is a testimony that let god be true and everyone else be a liar it's a testament that god what god start he will finish yes the media knights on the anal christ did fight what this brave mighty man of valor prevailed he fought many of battles on his knees in prayer and fasted with the help of his wife his prior partner his children and the brethren like gideon the mighty man of fallen would have celebrated victories to various evangelical services will dance and preach to celebrate the goodness of god he didn't blow a trumpet physical trumpet like gideon but he didn't did blow and he had trumpet to his preaching after and he claimed that he got a flash from god whenever you hear this you will know that the mighty man of god received a prophetic word straight from god not to mention the master tombarine is his wife and his greatest cheerleader knocking and beating to the glory of god in celebration of god's goodness pastor early dixon we appreciate your technology and your drive to be a pastor for 39 years as jamaican would say i know boy business pastor era d dixon mighty man of valor exemplified the term spiritual obedience like gideon you follow the spiritual lead of god and after 39 years is a past of this beautiful church it's a testimony that his leadership is one of divine inspiration an example that you follow if you follow the lead of god i mean the difficulties you will succeed brethren stand with me as we honor this mighty man of value is dedication to the work of god and after 39 years it's like a duracell battery it keeps going and going and like fine wine he gets better in grace and wisdom sister fellas will now give him a token pastor will you come down here can you come down here i'm quiet [Music]

god's grace and direction pastor elderly dixon is a true visionary dedicated hard-working anointed and humble servant committed to the master's will based on the goals achieved throughout this ministry and for those of us who know where we're coming from as the umber servant he is he never took credit he always mentioned the officer corps and members of this congregation in every achievement his commitmental leadership and service is noteworthy he and lady dixon are the leaders that show up shows up on every occasion long work days sunday school ladies men and women's departments youth events whether face-to-face or virtual outreach help fasting visiting the shut-ins not only in words but by their actions and presence over the years the youth can testify that even

services at south camp road would be over already so you know we are on borrowed time amen so we've got to do this quickly judges chapter 6 and i just want to read one verse from judges chapter 6 the 12th verse and then we hear what god has to say to us praise god to all the officers and brethren i'm just so blessed to see how you treat your pastor how you honor the man and woman of god it is a great day indeed judges chapter 6 and verse 12 the angel of the lord appeared unto him and said unto him the lord is with thee thou mighty man of valor the lord is with thee thou mighty man of valor can we just point to pastor dixon and say the lord is with thee thou mighty man of valon praise god leadership is critical in this present age that the church of jesus christ has found itself in there is no doubt that we are living in the closing days of time perilous times paul refers to it as and this pandemic is only just an indication of the nature of the times we are living in but god is raising up in this day and in this age leaders who will not only guide us through the pandemic but leaders who will ultimately guide us to the rapture of the church need i remind us brothers and sisters that we are not here to stay we are just pilgrims and sojourners one of these days you're gonna look for us but we won't be at one a faces street one of these days the trumpet of the lord shall sound the dead in christ shall rise and they that are alive and remain shall be caught up to meet the lord in the air that is the hope of the believers that is why we're living the life we live in because we're looking for is coming in the clouds of heaven he's coming back to earth to catch away zone the someone says may we all be ready when the cry is given to go and reign with god on i need i remind us don't be too comfortable down here heaven is still our goal the enemy knows then that the ministry of the church is as strong as its leaders therefore the great enemy of our souls has sought to attack the leadership of our church he has made it clear that on his agenda is the destruction of leaders at every level in the church and if you talk to any pastor today if you talk to any leader in the church they will tell you that there's never been a struggle like this before there's never been a time when the struggle has been so intense where the struggle has been so fierce against god's leaders in zechariah 13 and verse 7 the prophet said smite the shepherd and the sheep will scatter the enemy knows that if we smite or attack the shepherd then the sheep will scatter but i hear god saying i'm with you mighty man of value no matter how the enemy wants to attack the leadership of god this afternoon that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church of the living god i hear jesus saying upon this rock i will build my church not lewis church or dixon church but my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against the enemy has turned his attention to leadership at every level be it in the church in the family in the ministry and the weight of christian leadership or the weight of the pastor is heavy it is not an easy road and i want to sound the alarm for those who are uh overzealous and trying to uh run down positions and titles to be careful because you don't even understand the weight that comes with leadership often we look from the outside but we don't really understand what's happening we see the prestige and the prompt and the pageantry of leadership but oftentimes we don't know the pain that comes with leadership we see them being ordained and we see anniversary services like this but not every day in the life of a pastor is like this how many know that sometimes your pastor have to cry and you don't even know he's crying can i preach up in here sometimes he's in pain but he's got to get up in this pulpit and preach like paul is going through his own struggle but he's got to be there for the body of christ hallelujah you see we see the glory of leadership but we don't know the story the leader is subjected to so many challenges and as the enemy seeks to target the leader in an attempt to scatter the sheep sometimes you don't even know but your pastor comes to church and he has to minister to your need he he gives you the last dollar that is in his pocket and he's got to go home and look at his children and pray with them and beg them just to deal with it and hold on with to the hunger just a little while longer because things are going to get better it didn't always happen like destruction in ministry but he still got to stand and minister critics my god pastors can never win sometimes whatever we do can't please everybody critics are always there sometimes pastors are abused they're lied on and leaders have to deal with even betrayal in ministry jesus christ was the greatest leader that ever walked on this planet but he was not exempt from betrayal he had 12 disciples but in the midst of the twelve there was a judas there was a betrayal and every leader has to deal with betrayal even jesus christ was not exempted paul the apostle was not exempted from betrayal in second timothy chapter 4 and verse 10 he tells us about a man by the name of demons he says demons has forsaken me having loved this present world and has departed onto tessanna like a paul says listen the weight of leadership is not easy he spoke about alexander the copper smith he says in second timothy chapter 4 and verse 14 he says alexander the coppersmith did me much evil but the lord reward him according to his work you see my god the the weight of leadership is not easy you've got to pray for your pastor you've got to stand by the man and woman of god you've got to cover them every day that you wake up cover your pastor as he covers you pray for him pray for his wife pray for his children pray for his physical children pray for his spiritual children cover them under the blood of jesus christ because it's not easy sometimes a pastor have to preach us happy and go home and cry paul spoke about how all had forsaken him in second timon chapter 4 17 he says notwithstanding as he went before the roman authority notwithstanding he says the lord stood with me and strengthened me that my me preaching that it might be fully known that all the gentles might hear the gentiles might be saved and i was delivered out of the mount of the lion he says listen no man stood with me all men forsake me i pray god that it be not laid onto their charge but even when men forsake us i'm pastor dixon i want to assure you that god will be with you when paul went before the roman council all those who were a part of his ministry run away from paul they said paul we hear them sharpening up the guillotine to take your head off and we are not going to stand with you when paul looked around the bible said in second timon chapter 4 and 16 he said at my first answer no man stood with me i couldn't find the missionaries i couldn't find my evangelist i couldn't find my youth president i couldn't find nobody to stand with me i had to stand alone but then in the 17th percent he says notwithstanding that i couldn't find any man he said god was with me jehovah shama the lord who is present was with me i feel the holy ghost oh god i've combined to tell you mighty man of valor that god is with you it doesn't matter who come and it doesn't matter who goes i combine to tell you that you're a mighty man of fire i can't say to tell you he is with you i'm about to close in about five minutes but i hear god telling me as i sat in that seat that since this pandemic start some folks have walked out of this church you can't find them you're wondering where they are but i've come out to tell you don't be discouraged be not disagreed the god of jacob is your defense [Music] chandler oh mighty man of allah god said to tell you he's with you and greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world so don't worry about those who left i hear the holy ghost say they're coming back because this is this is this is the closing days of time i know some folks have left and i know

god and the gates of hell shall not he says where one two or three are gathered i'm there in the midst bless god says anyone when we show up to this house and when we turn our attention to him he's going to show up and when god shows up and when we lift him up oh god i hear you when we praise him when we lift him up when we glorify him he says i'm going to do the drawing fire he says i won't do some drawing if it's full of you coming here for it lift him up praise him like his 50 praise him like it's a hundred of you in here give god clothes don't hold that femininity don't cut back on anything give him the glory [Music] he will shut up [Music] he says lift me up lift me up [Music] ebola lift me up how to reach the masses men of every birth for an answer jesus gave the if i if i be lifted up from this earth i will join mighty man of father you know when god spoke to gideon gideon says god how how is it where are the promises i don't see it how is it going to be god says don't worry about it i will be with you [Music] the best days are ahead of you the best [Applause] the best [Music] is yet to come you ain't seen nothing yet [Music] swing those doors widely open [Music] this is the season this 39 year pastoral year is a season of restoration [Music] it's a season of restoration can i tell you what the pandemic has done [Music] sieved the pandemic has caused a sieven [Music] shows up those who are playing church from those who are serious yeah [Music] of those who are following people and not following christ but those who are rooted and grounded [Music] can i tell you sometimes we have been rocked to the left rock to the right sometimes we are rocked almost down to the very but because god is with us even like the palm tree that goes to the ground don't count us out yet because little by little we are coming back up [Music] mighty man of valor said to gideon the lord in the 16th verse it says the lord said unto him surely i will be with thee and i will smite the midianites [Music] i'm closing [Music] the sipping is on and whenever god saves the body of christ it's an indication that the rapture is very near the church is being prepared for the coming of the lord we have to make our calling and our elections sure we have to be focused [Music] this is not the time to be playing church this is the time to be resolute like we have never been before [Music] as we prepare to hear gabriel blow the trumpet [Music] one of these days the eastern sky you see what's happening in the world you hear what is happening in ukraine [Music] the world is wandering what's going to happen and somebody says but pastor that's all the way miles away from us all the world is one stage [Music] and what happens in russia or ukraine will have a ripple effect

somebody what a day it is what a day it has been as we celebrate our pastor and leader brothers and sisters my personal testimony of my encounter with this man of god will always be uppermost in my mind i remember when i came here i believe it was in overheat and brothers and sisters i was searching for a place to aid in my restoration and i've gone elsewhere but i didn't get any help but when i came and i met this man of god i've never seen such wisdom praise the lord somebody he said to me [Music] i'm not saying you're a bug slider but i'm gonna treat you like a buckslider in other words i'm going to restore you back to the flock and if i treat if i handle this matter this way then nobody can't hold you out there and say okay you can't go back to any church because you need a letter of consent from so and so and when pastor used that level of wisdom to get me restored back to life [Music] i give god the glory and i really continue to bless this man of god praise the lord somebody

moment because we need the bishop to pray for us before we leave he leave and his wife get pretty close in prior i haven't seen lady dixon she's right there praise the lord um okay so let me give god thanks sir overseer dickson and mr darwin dixon associate pastors and to our guest speaker bishop michael lewis the first lady loris greetings to you man in the precious name of jesus a word that reached our hearts today and i just want to give god thanks for every member of this church and as overseer mentioned the committee which made that missionary partisan missionary brown we just want to give god thanks everybody the touching sounds today i you know it would take me too much to continue to talk because so much things is coming into my mind but you know when i came in and i looked at the the beautiful um oh my god i was wondering if it's something that they're going to move after this stay but them say it will be there but it's a beautiful thing and it is white so we have to take good care of it or praise the lord but um so many things that come across my mind and i i can't if i don't say anything i get to say this for the 39 years that um well being here being there was still connected to here um i think i can boldly say because this has happened to so many pastors and leaders but within my 39 have been here not one person around this area or anywhere and not one member can point them finger at me if it's not thinking about trying to say i look upon them a different way if i'm not thinking about put up on my heart praise the lord praise the lord i i make sure live the life to please people and to please god and i i am being friend with everybody i i remember one night we was going home and police stopped we're underway and said passer oh you have so much woman with you i say all that belongs to me praise the lord but you know god is good and god is great and i just want to give god thanks as i listened to what um missionary morrison mentioned that if bishop thompson did know that i said it was the worst place that he could have sent any young person which my desire at that time to we actually was planning to migrate to canada and i was stopped and i think just here to come to me then i think it was better than canada only when i reach here i regret that i just said yes praise the lord and then you see i i was not here because anything was here i was sent here and i obey god i obey the servant of god 2009 when i traveled to america i could have abandoned this church because i actually get a church and they give me the offer sent for your wife what i said i had a church in jamaica just that bill we don't reach nowhere yet leave it and come and something just hitting my spirit god didn't send me here to pass a church i am here because i need rest so i can't do it then the devil allows something to happen that when i get back here i am so regret i'm sorry that i didn't take the offer but god knows everything but one of my greatest moment in this year coming to me is 2012 when i realized that there was a church open to the glory of god here where we were coming from that's what paid my price and god had really bless me glory to god and i and i i want to say this last but not least i played this in jacob but i remember bishop something had gone wrong and the doctor tell me to well i have to tell my doctor everything he said reverend tell me what is wrong with you because all this year you is my patient i never see you like this so i tell you what happened doctor said resign from the church resign and i said god i'm dying slowly for sure my nerves is going but how can i resign from the church i i can't i have a struggling going home i i remember i slept 15 minutes through the night and couldn't sleep again and i struggled and i said i'm going slowly but sure i said god how can i resign from church and when i [Music] in my mind i wanted to but i remember one sunday i came here i didn't in the good frame of mind to preach that sunday but god allowed me to preach and fight back every message every word to me and after service everybody gone and i stand right at that door and i hear the voice said if you don't start to work on this church i am not going to bless you i said god what you're saying where how much i start work on the church and i don't have no money everything had gone from me god how this can be that isn't possible and three weeks after i remember was out by spanish stone by prison over some place there and i thought come back to me and i said god why you give me basket to carry water why are you telling me to start work on the church i don't i don't have any money 15 minutes after my daughter katrin called me and said daddy somebody called and said some money that money grabbed i don't know who i don't know who's going to send money to money i don't know nobody but right there advice came to me but i don't know the other name when i call and i get the other person and when i say this must be that person god just opened the person to write a stone and i said yeah so i drive go by the monogram and i post office and said some money is supposed to come from me here i say from where i said from cayman and i tell them the person name they say you know how much money i said holy eat after me i know how much so i'm not going to say a little bit i said hold him and she said when i fill
