DIVINE Greetings,
to the Members of Triumph the Church and Kingdom
of God
in Christ and Fellow Triumphians throughout the world.
We must recognize and be ever grateful for the Triumphant Spirit working
through the Apostles and
staff members directing the church through another smooth transition of
leadership. I am greatly
honored to be the one selected to serve as the
leading official of this great organization. I will be
forever mindful that this awesome responsibility requires of me: a
prayerful life, a commitment to
truth, and a dedication to the principles outlined in the
Charter Of Incorporation of Triumph The
Church And Kingdom Of God In
Christ: July 18th, 1918.
We must continue to move forward to
overcome the many tasks and challenges that confront us.
Institutions that successfully
transcend time, are those that when called upon to prove their relevance
to evolving times and circumstances, are able to demonstrate a survival
flexibility. The Triumphant
Institution must also demonstrate
flexibility; a 21st century adaptation to current
issues and times.
Not only will we meet the challenge of relevance; but, we will do so
without violating the foundational
principles of our church. Man’s inherent divinity and the doctrine of
eternal life represent the
foundational elements and the core inspiration of Triumph Church’s
reality.
This basic core of Triumph’s
inspiration of life is a Meta Physical construct. It is rooted in the
concept,
that, there is a Universal Source Of Power, that we recognize
as God, and there is an unawakened,
unaware, soul force that we call man. And when that Universal Source Of
Power that we call God,
reunites with, and awakens that soul force that we call man, a
transformation of life occurs. This is
the transformation recorded in 1 Cor.15:54:
”then shall be brought to pass
the saying that is written, death is swallowed up in victory.”
The God force and the Man force existing in one body. This is the core
principle that we must maintain
as we go forward to meet the challenges of this age.
So fellow Triumphians,
the time has come to move our organization to it’s next level of
development. We
appeal to you, our Apostle’s and their staffs, our National Mother and
the staff of the Motherhood, all
National Officers, all Department Heads and their Staffs, State and
County Presidents, Elders, Evangelists,
Missionaries, Prophets, Teachers and Local Members, that, working
together, we can accomplish what we will.
In the spirit of our Founder, Father
E.D. Smith, and the faithful Triumph Saints who have made the way for
us, we press forever forward in this great Triumphant Church.
Triumphantly Yours, Rt. Rev. R.D. Clark
