This Is The Day The Lord Has Made
“This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord. God is the Lord, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with chords, even unto the horns of the altar. Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee. O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.” (Ps 118:24-29 KJV)
One great truth found in Psalm 118 was manifested in the world on what is traditionally referred to as Palm Sunday. The significance and importance of this day extends beyond the mere start of Holy Week. Palm Sunday, stands as the day in which Jesus Christ rode into Jerusalem according to scripture. (Zechariah 9: 9) The passion of Christ; his trial, crucifixion, burial, and resurrection started with the triumphal entry into the Holy City. While the 24th verse of the 118th division of Psalms is viewed as a biblical truth everyday for the believer, rabbinical tradition teaches that it also referenced a specific day etched in time before creation by God. This is the day that the promised Messiah, would present himself to the nation as King, Lord, and the Anointed One of Israel. This day would be the “Time of Visitation,” the Messianic hope promised to Abraham. (St. John 8:56, Hebrews 11:8-13) The day spoken of by Moses (Deuteronomy 18:15) and prophesied in Daniel 9:24-26.It has been suggested that the Pharisees and Scribes were present on that day waiting at the Golden Gate, anticipating the arrival of the Messiah. If this was true, one could only imagine the absolute horror and displeasure of that great sight on that day. To see Jesus entering the city fulfilling the prophecy spoken by Zechariah, and the people reciting Psalm 118 shouting Hosanna, would incite hate and unbelief in the religious leaders. The unbelief and hatred would grow so great, that just a few days later the same religious leaders would provoke the crowd to cry out “crucify him.”

In 1957, Dr. Morris L. Dulaney, Sr. was baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and filled with the Holy Ghost in the city of Pasadena, California. While under the leadership of the late District Elder Thomas Kinslow, he worked faithfully as a Sunday School superintendent and Young Peoples' President. He was called to the ministry in 1958 which eventually led to him serving as the assistant pastor to District Elder Kinslow.
The First Lady of Word of Faith Pentecostal Church, Sister Irma Dulaney, wears various hats. Besides fulfilling the basic duties of being a pastor's wife where she goes above and beyond by helping to oversee several of the church's auxiliaries, she is also a seamstress, the mother of three, the grandmother of six, and even a great-grandmother.
