September To Remember: HAPPY NEW MONTH OF SEPTEMBER Nine is the last of the digits, and thus marks the end; and is significant of the conclusion of a matter. Jesus' work on earth was completed at the ninth hour, He said "It is finished". The number 9 symbolizes divine completeness, delivery and manifestation. Nine also represents the fruits of God's Holy Spirit. Peter received directions from the Angel at the Ninth hour, being the hour of prayer. It was at the 9th hour of the day that Cornelius was told in a vision to contact the Apostle Peter. Number 9 completes spiritual cycles; it represents the stages of development and growth. We pray that this month, God will give us divine revelation and manifest His glory upon our families in the name of Jesus Christ. #copied and edited
