marriage is a thing good
Proverbs 18:22 (NKJV) - He who finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from the Lord.
God bless you Members and Partners! I am so excited to be in the month of February. The fact that we are still alive is another testimony of God’s keeping power in our lives. I can already tell that 2025 is going to move fast as in previous years, but it will be a tremendous year.
In the month of February the world celebrates what is widely known as “Valentine’s Day”. Like most holidays given to us from the world, Valentine's Day is not a “Biblical holiday.” However, it does give Christian married couples the opportunity to make a special time for acknowledging their love for one another. I’m excited about the fact that God invented marriage long before there was a Valentine’s Day or any other man-made holiday.
As it is indicated in our theme verse, God describes finding a wife as a good thing. If finding a wife is a good thing, this means that marriage is a “great thing.” According to scripture, a man who finds a wife not only finds a good thing, he also obtains favor. I believe that one of the most notable places of ruin in our culture today is marriage. Satan has sold the average heterosexual couple on the idea that marriage is a “bad thing” which is in sharp contrast to God’s plan for mankind. God always had it in mind that marriage is a “good thing.”
The word good in the Hebrew is “tab”: this word means well pleasing or beautiful. When God made marriage, He made it to please Him and be a beautiful trusting unit.
When a man or woman comes together in their God ordained relationship, they are to God a “beautiful, pleasing unit” in the earth realm. Marriage is good, marriage is a blessing. In this time of restoration we are noticing a great revival of sorts in the earth realm. One of those revivals is that of “marriage carried out God’s way.” The marriage unit carries what we commonly call “The Blessing.” The Blessing is God’s endowment on something to prosper.
The most obvious scripture to back up marriage carrying out the blessing is found in Genesis 1:28. See the verse below:
Genesis 1:27-28 (NKJV) 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
included having children and yet it is not limited to having children. Once Christians marry, their ability to produce fruit of success goes up exponentially from where they were as singles.
Fruitfulness is most seen in “teamwork.” Married couples have a weapon of mass destruction at their fingertips, it's called “agreement” and this is why Satan fights married couples so much. Satan desires to keep married people in constant strife so that they stay out of agreement. He knows that once they start agreeing they will be fruitful and multiply and that’s scary to the devil.
This is why Christian married couples should do everything within their power to agree. It starts with agreeing with God and then every wife should agree with their “godly husband.” Of course, you don’t agree with a man that is perverted, but when your husband is doing his best to obey the Lord and follow the Word of God, you should both submit to and agree with him. Don’t let the devil cause marriages to be shortcircuited because of constant disagreement. Remember, Satan is afraid of a Christian couple that simply agrees.

VisionUpdates
Partners, just a few quick updates on the vision at KCC. We are on the eve of our Super Seed Sunday. I am so very excited about gaining great increase to forward the mission of Kingdom Christian Church.
Currently on the table are the following:
Another campus site to expand our ministry to other communities. National television to get the Gospel out to all 50 states. Campus development for the construction of our new church. Campus development and procurement for our new K -12 school.
An airplane to accommodate travel to spread the gospel in Kingdom Experiences and other outreaches.
With the help of our partners, we can push the Gospel out to masses by acquiring and building. As many of you may know, churches are going up for sale throughout the United States. Sadly, many churches never recovered from the effects of events like COVID and other national catastrophes. While we do not glory in anyone's demise, we do want to be positioned to procure buildings that come up for sale, so that we can spread the Kingdom concept to others and reach communities. We have so much work to do and so many lives to change. Let’s not slow down.
Pray about being a strong financial blessing to us on February 16th or before should you be led to do so. We are still promoting the agenda of Jesus Christ. I’m so excited about the call of God on our lives. Thank you partners, know that I love you and I’m praying for your success!
With Love,
Gabriel Rogers, PhD Founder and Senior Pastor Kingdom Christian Church

a Like no Other love
1 john 4:16 (NLT) - We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in His love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.
Many of you believe you have a solid understanding of God’s love, but the negative emotions and confessions you occasionally experience proves otherwise. Whenever you feel depressed, defeated, and discouraged, and struggle to believe that God’s promises will come to pass in your life, it is because you have not come into a proper revelation of God’s love for you. For many years, I too did not have a revelation of God’s love. Like many of you, although I knew that God is love and loves me, I struggled to receive His love. I believed that He loved others but
First Lady Stephanie Rogers
found it difficult to fathom that the God of the universe has positive thoughts towards me. For years, I subconsciously believed I was unworthy of His love and that kept me from fully experiencing it. The devil wants to undermine your view of God. He wants your thoughts to be so consumed with the hurt, criticism, and regrets from your past, that you fail to reap the benefits of your Heavenly Father’s love. God wants you to not only know that He loves you, but He also wants you to believe and receive His love. His love for you is boundless, unconditional, and unmeasured. Regardless of what you have or have not done, there is an inherent value that God has placed on you. You are loved!
visionkingdomand Conference
This year’s conference, hosted by our Pastor Dr. Gabriel Rogers, was the best yet. The event focused on both corporate and personal visions that align with God’s purpose for our lives. Wednesday night’s session encouraged attendees to perfect their craft. Thursday’s session highlighted the importance of building winning teams, while Friday night’s session, "Run with the Visionary," inspired us to support those leading the way.
Each evening concluded with a thought-provoking message: What Are You Looking At? Pastor challenged us to focus less on the natural and more on the spiritual. Once we caught the vision, we learned how to protect it. The conference left everyone with renewed purpose and a commitment to guarding and fulfilling God’s vision for both the church and their personal lives.

Marriage testimonies
John & Felicia Carter
Being at KCC has improved soon to be 26 years of Marriage! We have been blessed to not see our marriage as the world—a ball & chain. Truly believing in our marriage scripture Matthew 19:6 “Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder” has been our mantle. Through the teachings and examples of godly marriage through our Pastor & Lady Rogers on transparency, effective communication and not allowing the culture to dictate our marital roles, we have gladly chosen to do marriage the Kingdom way! We’ve been equipped: As a wife- humbly submitting, honoring and respecting my husband as the head! As a husband- the importance of washing my wife with water through the word and taking authority of my household. KCC has equipped us by being involved with marriage seminars, Sunday marriage classes, attending marriage retreats, having date nights and being accountable through follow-ups with our discipleship partners.
Shawn & Clarice Tillman
We are the Tillmans, and we have been a part of KCC under the leadership of Pastor Rogers for almost 14 years. Since joining KCC, our lives have changed tremendously. We have grown immensely in faith, finances and Christian development. Prior to joining the ministry, not only were our lives a mess, but our marriage was in shambles, and we were at risk of divorce. Our marriage has not only improved, but it has been completely restored. It took some time to restore faith in our marriage and really understand the biblical concept of how God views the sanctity of marriage and how we are to operate in those biblical principles. What is so awesome about our Heavenly Father is that He not only restores you back to the original plan for your life, but he blesses and favors you along the way. It truly is supernatural. We now have tangible and spiritual tools to nurture our marriage. We attend the biweekly marriage discipleship classes spearheaded by Pastor Rogers as well as attend the annual marriage seminars and marriage retreats. We are incredibly thankful to Almighty God and Pastor Rogers for his counsel and leadership, and we are confident that restoration in our marriage is a direct result of us being a part of KCC.

Centered on Christ Restoring God as Priority
This year, as God is restoring things back to their original design, let us set our hearts and minds on restoring God as priority in our lives. In a recent Sunday morning discipleship class, Pastor Rogers defined priority as “the fact or condition of being regarded or treated as more important – more important than another”. In the list below, we have provided four ways to restore God back to His rightful place as number one in our lives.
1.“Consider your ways” Conduct an honest evaluation of your relationship with the Lord. Is He first in every area of your life every day?
2. Repent
To repent in Greek means to change one’s mind or to turn. This year, make a quality decision to turn away from all that competes for first place in your heart and refocus on your relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
3. Seek FIRST the Kingdom (Matthew 6:33) Pastor Rogers reminded us that if there’s a first, there’s a second. God has no problem with us enjoying the abundant life but He has no interest in “playing second fiddle” to the mundane things of life.
4. Get about the Father’s business! (Luke 2:49)
Allow God to use you mightily this year by pursuing your purpose and assignment. We must all say like Jesus, “My meat is to do the will of Him that sent Me, and to finish His work.” (John 4:34)
Prayer of salvation
If you do not know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, pray the following prayer in faith, and you will be saved!
Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. According to Romans 10: 9-10, Jesus I ask you to come into my heart and be Lord over my life. Your word says that "if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." I confess that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead.

A Love that reflects Christ
When we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, there is an indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Spiritual fruit is the result of that indwelling. As Christians, we have to cultivate our hearts and minds so our Spiritual Fruit ripens. The Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22).
The first division of the Fruit of the Spirit is Love. God is Love! He loved us so much He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16). Paul tells us to be imitators of God and walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us (Ephesians 5:2). Our walk with God should cause us to continually be thinking of those around us as Jesus did. As we encounter people we should be asking ourselves, will I see them in heaven? Have they heard about Jesus and God’s love for them? Am I being an example of that love?
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 gives us the formula to cultivate a Christ-like love: “Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all thing, endures all things.”
A love reflective of Christ’s love is to come together, as the body of Christ, and effectively grow the body for the edifying of itself in love (Ephesians 4:16). We are to walk in a sincere love for one another with pure hearts, (1 Peter 1:22) as Christ did.

keeping the alive spark
In the hustle and bustle of life, it’s easy for married couples to get distracted with daily responsibilities and unintentionally let the spark fade. One key principle Pastor Rogers emphasizes in marriage enrichment class is diligence. He said that marriage is one of those places where diligence has to be applied. Being intentional about spending quality time together is essential for a thriving marriage. Here are five meaningful activities to help you reconnect and keep the spark alive.
Meaningful Activities to Enjoy Together 5
1. Unplug for a Day
Dedicate an entire day to disconnect from electronics, social media, and outside distractions. Use this time to focus solely on each other—talk, laugh, and enjoy uninterrupted moments together.
2. Plan a Treasure Hunt
Create a personalized treasure hunt for your spouse with meaningful clues and a special surprise at the end. It could be a heartfelt gift, a romantic dinner, or simply a handwritten love note expressing your appreciation.
3. Prayer & Nature Walks
Take a peaceful walk in a park or along a nature trail, enjoying God’s creation while deepening your emotional and spiritual connection. Use this time to pray together, share your hearts, and encourage one another.
4. "Dear Spouse" Dinner
Write a heartfelt love letter to your spouse, expressing your gratitude and love. Exchange letters over a romantic dinner. To make it extra special, have the waiter deliver the letters with a rose. After dinner, read a passage from Song of Solomon together for added inspiration.
5. Plan a Romantic Getaway
Escape from the routine and plan a getaway just for the two of you. Whether it’s a weekend trip out of town or a stay at a local hotel, make it a time of fun and reconnection. Enjoy activities like a couples’ massage, ice skating, or a candlelit dinner to rekindle the romance. Marriage flourishes when both partners are intentional about keeping their love alive. Choose one or more of these activities and make time to cherish one another!
Upcoming Event Listing
In this life group we will study our Pastor’s latest book, “A Greater Revelation of Financial Harvesting!” This life group will be a hybrid (inperson/virtual) life group that occurs on Tuesdays at 6 pm.
This is our traditional 3rd Thursday of the month, where we have the opportunity to keep our commitments and honor our Pastor with a "Break Out" Double Honor seed.
Enjoy making meaningful connections while engaging in activities that remind you to be heart healthy!
