SOS - We Live in Victory
"The S.O.S files are part of what I call THE S.O.S ADVENTURE. My concern is to help those on the field, by visits, written communications. It’s not a program or a separate ministry. It’s to help compliment what you are doing on the field. S.O.S stands for SOLD OUT ON SERVICE. " Rev. Robert (Bob) Vignola

Robert James Vignola “Bob” (August 13, 1950 - November 29,2016) was a caring servant and minister to God’s people. Bob was born and reared in New York where he gained a passion for music. He was especially fond of and loved the many songs produced by the legendary band, The Beatles. His attraction was not just in the music, but the uplifting effect it had on God’s people. During his teen years his quest for the answers to life led him to the Word of God. Once he found this truth it became his passion in life to share and teach it with others.
Reverend Robert James Vignola never got off the course which God set for him. He was full of life, love, and instruction, as well as giving and caring. Bob was a doulos (servant of God to God's people), a faithful father of four, a steadfast believer, and a loyal friend. As seen from the S.O.S files that he regularly emailed out to others, he had a contagious and irreplaceable humor. He was very proud of his New York Heritage (often quoting “The Brooklyn Text”) his family, and the Word of God and the man who taught it to him. His faithful stand for God’s people and the never ending agape (love of God in the renewed mind in manifestation) he poured out to others will last for all eternity.
To describe the heart and presence of Rev. Robert James Vignola would require endless pages with countless incidents by multitudes of people. However, when one reflects on his life, "The lillies of the field" and their attributes might represent his life well.
Bob Vignola, the lily of the field.
As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
(Song of Solomon 2:2)
The lily will grow in fields, valleys, cultivated gardens and even among thorns. They spread their roots and produce trumpet shaped flowers of various colors.
A lily has a sweet and fragrant flower with a strong scent. Within the lily are grains of seeds of a golden color which are very fruitful and help beautify any place (or person) they are around. The lily can be a tall flower, yet it hangs it's bloom down and does not attempt to draw attention to itself.
The lily has medical qualities as well. They can be used to restore a lost voice (a defeated soul), help faintness (loss of strength), are good for the liver (filters out poisons), encourages with beauty (makes one feel special-pretty-delighted-encouraged-merry) and spreads it's roots so others will grow.
Matthew 6:28-29
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lillies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Soloman in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
All who knew him can attest to Rev Vignola’s humbleness and lowliness of mind in service to God’s people. He lived to help others grow. He was living example of 1 Corinthians 13.
We Live in Victory
God Bless YOU!
Isaiah 52:10
The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
In biblical times, a king, before a battle was about to begin would take off the garments which cover his arms, to show he was ready to battle for his people. That’s Our GOD!
Isaiah 52:12
For you shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the Lord will go before you: and the God of Israel will be your reward.
Not only will He go before His people, He will also protect from the rear. In other words, God has our Back! So He’s ready for battle and bares His arm in the eye of all nations. Even the enemy sees it, and knows when OUR God moves, He’s not messing around.
1 Corinthians 15:57
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Because of what God did through His Son, we now have been giving the victory. So we walk in victory, we think in terms of victory we believe and LIVE in Victory. So each and every day, we expect Victory. As ROMANS 8:37, WE are more than CONQUERORS!
We wake up every day and as HIS Ambassadors, we expect Victory. WE refuse what the 5 senses tell us, and look at things the way they really are from our position of where God placed us. So when the world hits us with a lie we lead every thought to the Reality of the Word. WE ARE HIS ROYALTY!
Love and pray for you
