"GOD TOOK HER😢" Prayer Update - 26th April 2020

EXHORTATION 💕

💝  LET US LOOK TO GOD!

My thoughts and meditation this week has been on "loving God".  I do not personally know anyone who does not want to be loved.  In our pursuit of love lets not forget to extend our love to God, noting that He also has feelings and in His word he expressly said to love Him.

In Matthew 22:37 He says:

‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

Loving God is worshiping, praising, committing, serving and meditating on Him.

Let us love God effectively.

Please do not forget to subscribe, like and share to make it more likely for others to benefit from the word... There are other videos there for edification as well. 

THANKSGIVING 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

🙌🏾 REUBEN

We thank God for the investment that we made in Reuben's sound engineering passion.  At the time it did not seem as though facilitating the purchase of equipment and paying for training courses would impact heavily on our ministry. However, it is those skills and the same implements that are being used in the production of the YouTube videos.

Reuben has been able to what I could not.  He has been overlaying professional sounding audio and has even stretched himself to do the video production for the sermons.

IT'S JUST TOO MUCH Look to God! Prayer Update 19th April 2020

EXHORTATION 💕

💝  LET US LOOK TO GOD!

We have been silent for four weeks and its not that we have "fallen off the face of the earth" but simply pausing and listening to what God has to say to us and through us. 

There is plethora of information out there bombarding the airways and people are simply not able to process it all.  You hardly know what to believe or what will standout as being helpful.  We also needed that time to process what would be significant enough for people to invest time to listen to or read. 

If we are not careful the events around us may cause division among God's people for example:

• The NPO act in T&T
• Pre-Tribulation, Mid-Tribulation or Post-Tribulation Rapture debates
• Helpful vaccine and Chip implant vs. Mark of the Beast
• 5G vs Covid-19
• To fellowship withing the parameters vs. Suspension of services
• One cup vs. multiple cups 

There have been wave after wave of divisive issues affecting and dividing believers. 

Please bear Luke 11:17 in mind:

But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls.

Above all that is happening around may we remember our DUTY to be:

"Eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 

(Remembering this, that:)

There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all."  (Eph. 4:3-6)

Amid all the "noise" let us more than ever look to God and hear what He is saying.


THANKSGIVING 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

🙌🏾 SUPPORT

Glory to God for the facilitating two way-support!  Over the past four weeks God has been pouring into us and we have had the pleasure to pour into others.

We wish to thank Jehovah Jireh for His miraculous provision.  We also thank those of you who have heeded His call to share practically.  We thank in advance those who have promised to support notwithstanding the current situation. 

For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. (Hebrews 6:10)

Thank you 🙌🏾 

🙌🏾  ELECTRONIC MINISTRY WITH BETHESDA GOSPEL HALL

On Sun 19th April we had the honour of virtual fellowship and opportunity to minister with Bethesda Gospel Hall, Laventille, Trinidad.  

We were joined by 56 believers from other assemblies and denominations in Trinidad, Guyana, Grenada, Barbados, Antigua and the USA (there may have been other countries represented that we are uncertain of.) 

Elder Jerome Small hosted the Zoom meeting, Keron and Zyndi Isacc led worship and Adane Dyer presented a special.  The topic of the exhortation was "Loving God II" and can still be view online at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7l_RbVKvYU

Ministering online 190420 - With my new lock-down look... 

This was very new ground for us but by the grace of God he enabled us to do the recorded broadcast.   PLEASE SUBSCRIBE to the channel so that YouTube can advertise enabling others to be drawn to the word of God.

Special thanks to Reuben for his much needed technical support and sound engineering expertise.  

Glory to God

🙌🏾  BREAKING OF BREAD 

Also on Sun 19th April we were able to remember the Lord in His death, burial and resurrection, along with Pastor Lionel Douglas and the saints at Christian Brethren Assemblies, D'Abadie Gospel Hall and Valencia Fellowship.

We praise God for the opportunity.

🙌🏾  ONLINE INTERACTION

Our online interaction continued unabated during our silent time. God enabled us to continue to pray and minister electronically on WhatsApp and other media. We both gave and received encouragement that really blessed our hearts.

PRAYER 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

 🙏🏾 RAE-ANN 

Rae-Ann continues her online classes where the great grades continue to flow in.  She is constantly supported by Lydia as they are almost ALWAYS on video chat ...  (Sometimes I am just passing by and all I hear is "Daddy!"  followed by copious instructions).  You would think that I sent her away for four years and that I have one less boss 😝...  

It's as if Rae-Ann still lives here or that we live by Auntie Sherry and Uncle Calvin. ...  I even had to sit in and be silent on one or two online exams.  Praise God yes, ... Its all good. 😘😘  Love you Rae 😁 (She'll get me for this) ... hehehe

 🙏🏾 THE CRITICAL WORKERS WHO WORK FROM HOME

Please remember those who have to continue to work from home as critical duties are performed under less that ideal conditions.

🙏🏾 BELIEVERS WHO ARE AT RISK

Please remember believers who are falling prey to not making their faith contagious.   Pray that we will use every opportunity to cause God's word to go viral. 

🙏🏾 YOUNG PEOPLE

Remember our youth as there is more time on their hands and temptation may be stronger around this time.  Lets also engage them in unique and wholesome activity.

🙏🏾 CAMPING ACTIVITIES 

• Trinidad
• St. Vincent, 
• Barbados,
