His calling is indeed needed in the body of Christ. God has graced him with the anointing to teach in the area of finances and abundant living. He firmly believes that life is measurable and consistent progress; is a mandate and must be expected from every born-again believer. Therefore, the Gospel must be taught in such a way that the people can grasp hold of truth and become all that God has empowered them to be. Pastor VanDyke believes ‘the modern-day church;” should be the benchmark from which society gets its marching orders. Although in years past, the church may have not experienced this kind of anointing, the time has come that the Church of the Living God, would become, a true representative of” His Power and Glory in the Earth.”
