Pastor’s Blog

As we venture off into our 35th annual Youth Convention, with a topic such as “In Pursuit”, I pray that every single person that walk through these doors will be blessed beyond measure. I pray that God would allow his Spirit to be present among us one more time, so that each and every speaker will be filled with the Spirit, so that the Word of God can come forth with much ease.
I also pray that for each request that goes up during this convention, that the blessings of the Lord fall heavily down upon the saints, and that the things that they are in pursuit of WILL come to pass.
Continue to seek the Lord in everything that you do, and you shall be blessed!!
-Pastor Gabriel Austin

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted in me? Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his songs shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? Why go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.”
~Psalm 42~

Reverend King M. Correia
~king correia ministries~

Rev. King M. Correia has been described as one of the most charismatic and dynamic men of God to come upon the scene. His sunny personality reflects the beautiful twin-islands of Trinidad & Tobago where he was born and raised. He is the son of Rev. Joseph & First Lady Norma Correia, and the only brother of four sisters.
Answering the call of God upon his life he entered into the ministry at a very young age preaching and teaching the gospel to as many that would hear him. He began his pastorate at the age of eighteen- overseeing two well established churches for four challenging but productive years. He traveled extensively throughout the Caribbean, South America and the USA.
Following the leading of the Lord he migrated and USA where he met and married his wife the former Lady Nedian Lewis. The union brought forth a princely baby boy- Solomon King Judah Correia.
Other than serving as a Senior Pastor, Rev. Correia has been noted as a true Prophet of God declaring an accurate and prolific Word of restoration and revival from the throne of God. He is the Founder & Senior Pastor of KING CORREIA MINISTRIES which began with four members and grew to twenty-five members before celebrating their first Church Anniversary.
He has a definite passion for the souls of men, and is driven to fulfill his God-given mandate which is to win the lost at any cost and to unify the Body of Christ. This man of God is truly a down-to-earth person and when he is not ministering to the masses, he manages to spend leisure time with his family, friends and followers. We are proud to be a part of his life and ministry!
DESCRIPTION: KCM can be described as a Christ-centered, non-denominational church subscribing to the Reformed Pentecostal theological position. “Reformed” because all its beliefs and doctrinal positions are taken directly from the scriptures and its certitude that the scriptures are the infallible Word of God. “Pentecostal” because we have experienced the infilling of the Holy Spirit as it is recorded in Acts 2:4.
KCM is a full gospel church with a powerful pulpit. We are a church flowing in worship and praise and in the manifestations of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. As a multi-cultural and a multi-ethnic church, our doors are open to all who are sincerely searching for God's love, truth and deliverance. All of our programs and services are designed to minister to every age.
HISTORY: KCM was launched on August 7th, 2004 with just four members- it's Leader (Rev. King M. Correia), his wife, his baby boy and his intercessor. In just a few but challenging months KCM miraculously grew from four members to twenty-five members before celebrating their 1st Church Anniversary, and has become the home church for an increasing number of souls.

Minister Courtney Bradley
~True Worship Church~

“Can anything good come out of Brooklyn?” Yes, Courtney Bradley certainly is one of those good things. Growing up in East New York, Brooklyn was not an easy task. “Where there is no struggle there is no victory” a well taught lesson where Courtney has learned that respect does not come from what you are, but who you are in God and the victory comes when you appreciate the struggle.
Courtney Bradley was born October 3rd and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He began singing at the age of four. Even at a young age, his voice was magnetic to everyone who heard him. He graduated from LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts and sang in the H.S. choir. He later became the lead vocalist for group a group called, “Men of Vision”, which he started. He stepped down as the lead vocalist of the group to answer the call GOD had planned for his life.

He is a unique individual; hearing and knowing him is a life-changing experience. He also walks in the prophetic call on his life; preaching, teaching and operating under the anointing of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
For Courtney, the road has not been easy. The journey to this place in his life required giving up recording contracts, much ridicule and persecution for making the choices he has made. For this, Courtney now understands why. For when GOD is with you, who could be against you. His mission is to see souls saved and delivered through the vocals and music GOD has blessed him with and that his music may reach the utter most parts of the earth. The will of the Lord for Courtney’s life must be fulfilled.

PASTOR LARRY W DAVIDSON
~THE RESURRECTION CELEBRATION CENTER CHURCH~

The anointed Pastor Larry W. Davidson is a native New Yorker. He was born in Harlem New York on May 21, 1961. Although Pastor Davidson was born in Harlem, he has roots throughout Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan, and Queens. Pastor Davidson currently reside with his family in Jamaica, Queens.
As a young boy growing up, Pastor Davidson always knew God was with him. As time passed and he began to see more of the world, Pastor Davidson witnessed the pain and suffering of others. He did not understand its purpose. He innocently asked God why were there so many good people suffering and being afflicted. This deep rooted passion for the answer later contributed to his desire to enter into ministry. Pastor Davidson is known for his love for God, his love for people and his selfless giving and self-sacrificing nature. He believes that every human being should be offered the chance at a better life, which is through Christ Jesus.
In December 1999, Pastor Davidson received the call to Pastorship and founded the Resurrection Celebration Center Church in Jamaica, Queens. Having an ever growing passion for leading souls to Christ, Pastor Davidson submitted to the mandate from God in Matthew 28:19, which says “Go ye therefore and teach all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost.” The ministry has adopted the following principles, which are to, “Spread Love, Win Souls, and Make God Look Good.”
With Pastor Davidson’s mandate from God coupled with his passion for souls he has established Team Jesus, a world outreach ministry. Team Jesus is comprised of men and women who share Pastor Davidson’s passion for souls. Team Jesus has shared the gospel with hundreds of thousands in various arenas such as homeless shelters, NYC/Nassau County Correctional Facilities, high schools, colleges, hospitals, parks, street corners, subways, malls, door to door, airports, supermarkets—wherever God has led Pastor Davidson to minister to people.
One of the most anointed gifts God has blessed Pastor Davidson with, is the talent of writing. He has authored such tracks as “I’m Sorry For Loving You” Excerpt (I’m sorry for loving you , I really meant no harm. It’s just that I has a sudden desire to hold you in my arms. I’m sorry you didn't hear me, when I said I Love You inside my head. It’s just that my soul hungered for you and it needed to be fed.)
“A Few Good Men” Excerpt (The good book says, men ought to pray without ceasing. It is written in the Word. Yet, I will, I will, I will is all I’ve ever heard. It is also written a house divided cannot stand. So now we as men must come together and devise a new plan. One that will put us back on the path of the straight and narrow. Remember God watches all we do. Just as his eye is on the sparrow.)
“Do You Have Time” Excerpt (I’m really going to get saved when I’m 30. I’ve got time. Now I’m 30. Tonight is my last night to live my unsaved life. Guess what? My birthday falls on Saturday. Therefore, Sunday, I will be at church praising the Lord. However, for now it’s still Saturday. I am having so much fun at my party in my party. They threw me in the pool. Something is happening to me. What’s wrong? I don't know, I see light. There are people all around me, but I cant talk.)
“The Believer’s Prayer” and most importantly “What Must I Do To Be Saved” Excerpt (God I acknowledge that I am a sinner. I’ve come to ask you to forgive me for my sins. I admit, I don't have the answers. I need your help. Come into my life and show me the way. Lord deliver me from all unrighteousness, and help me to love others as you have loved me.)
These tracks have had a world renowned impact, leading thousands into the Kingdom of God.

How do I know I have purpose?
Daniel Austin

Have you ever thought that out of the billons of people on this earth, you are called for a divine purpose? Think about that! Not just any purpose, but a purpose given from the most high God. Sometimes we reach to a point in our lives where we doubt whether our purpose is really our purpose or not. Some people even fight against the purpose that they know they have been called for. But, God knows what is best for us even when we think we may know what is best for ourselves. Take note that the trials, the tribulation, the stress, and the hardship, is definitely not by chance; it’s the enemy, the one who comes to kill, steal and destroy. He is also well known as the devil himself who makes it his mission to abort the plans of God. For every problem you face with a co-worker and/or family member, remember that the fight is not with them, but it’s with the devil. I REAPEAT! It’s not with them, but with the enemy himself!
The word of God reminds us that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”. (Ephesians 6:12) Simply because you are person with purpose, creates a problem for the devil and his camp.
The first step to knowing your purpose is understanding exactly where you stand. There’s a song I’ve have known since a little boy, and it tells me that my hope is built on nothing less, but Jesus Christ and his righteousness. It’s clear! We must trust and stand on God which is the firm foundation on which we live and breathe. The reason you are here today is just by God extending his grace daily. Note that every position you have encountered in your life Jesus Christ is the one who gives us the strength to make it through; NOTHING is done by man’s own ability. In Psalms 33:8, it explains that the fear of the Lord is needed in our lives. Not fear as in being scared of him, but honoring him in total reverence and respect. When we have our mind set on this, it tells God we are ready for what He has in store for your life.
This year as we are in pursuit for the things of God, remember that all He wants is total obedience from us. Now that God is knocking on your door, are you going to answer with a belief that He knows what’s best for you? Let’s walk by faith and not by sight.
Be blessed.

Children’s corner

What does being “in pursuit” mean to you?
What are you in pursuit of from the Lord?

In pursuit means to press for what you want. Also it means to have courage and believe that you can achieve anything you put your mind to.
I am in pursuit to get closer to God and also come to Friday night youth service more often.
Tiffany Harewood
In pursuit means to pursue yourself or to be ready for something you really want to do, whether it be for God or school or even work.
I am in pursuit to get close to God—to know God better and more specifically, tom know him as my Lord and Savior.
Malika Harewood
I think in pursuit is to go after something with all your heart.
My pursuit for this year is to learn how to play the piano, but above all I will like to start making songs.
Shaynah Delisle
In pursuit means to build your relationship with God and to get closer to him. Also, it means to push yourself to see what you can do for God.
This year I’m in pursuit to praise and worship more, and to read the Bible more . Also, I would like to walk in the journey God has made for me.
Alexandria Austin
In pursuit means that we should seek for the Lord to be near us and that his ears is open to our cry. I’m in pursuit for when I, Ka-liayah, cry to the Lord, that I will know that He WILL answer my cry.
I am also in pursuit of my Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that Jesus is the son of God. I also believe that He came and died to pay the penalty for the sin I have committed. So I am pursuit of more of him.
Ka-liayah Wint
