GOD CAN TURN THIS AROUND - Prayer Update 24th May 2020



EXHORTATION πŸ’•

πŸ’  WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE


I realized that although it may be very difficult sometimes to to live under trying conditions i.e. no job; no spouse; lack of funds; no children; bad health; no hope etc., that situation in itself can be a blessing.  

When Jesus encountered the rich young ruler, who had a genuine desire "to inherit eternal life", it was his dependency on his riches to sustain him in this life that caused him to lose his chance at eternal life.

Having much of this world's resources can make it near impossible for you to benefit where it really counts, (in eternity).  By extension, some people seem to be: too educated; too rich; too well employed etc. to inherit eternal life.  However with God ALL things are possible.  Would you commit ALL that you have and ALL that you are to Him today?


Mark 10 : 27-b

...“With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.”

πŸ™ŒπŸΎ ELECTRONIC MEETINGS

We had the privilege of fellowshipping with Christian Brethren Ministries and D'Abadie Gospel Hall, Last Sunday.  Bro Kenneth Miller from Barbados ministered on the significance of the communion service.

An important take away was that no restriction should prevent us from obeying God's word by participating in the remembrance feast.

πŸ™ŒπŸΎ IMPOSSIBLE SCHOLARSHIP 

    Upon requesting information on the procedure for applying for the long awaited 'scholarship' we received the news that there are no available scholarships for international students.

    πŸ™ŒπŸΎ WILL THIS YOUTH "GO UNDER"?

    We have been ministering to a young person who recently started a new business.  Due to the "covid-19 shut down"  the business had to be temporarily closed.  The Landlord however is demanding the rent notwithstanding the obvious stoppage of income.  

    Apart from the resulting eviction notice, this youth then experienced a number of unfortunate domestic setbacks and is now struggling to survive.   GOD CAN TURN THIS AROUND.  

    If God has prompted you to make a contribution to this cause please call me ASAP.  I will give further details and ensure that your assistance reaches this youth. 

    πŸ™πŸΎ  THANK YOU

    Thank you again for your continued prayerful support. πŸ™πŸΎπŸ’•πŸ’žπŸ™πŸΎ

    "THIS COULD BE FRIGHTENING" - Prayer Update 17th May 2020



    EXHORTATION πŸ’•

    πŸ’  DO NOT BE AFRAID ONLY BELIEVE


    These days many people are afraid.  Since this pandemic has "hit home" people all over the world have been expressing fear of sickness, sanctioning (being locked away) and "sleeping permanently".   

    God wants you to know today that there is no need to be afraid once you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.  We only need to confess Him as Lord and believe that He resurrected and we would be safe.  No need to fear sickness, sanctions or sleeping. 


    Luke 8:50

    But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; only believe,

    “Old Lions roar to generate FEAR so that the 
    prey runs towards the younger lions for the kill”

      😱 "MIDNIGHT FUNERAL" - Prayer Update - 10th May 2020



      EXHORTATION πŸ’•

      πŸ’  MOTHERS DESERVE MORE


      Lets not put the traditions of man before the commandments of God.  Let us honour our mothers beyond the traditional requirements of man. 


      Mark 7:10-12

      10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ 
      11 But you say, ‘If a man says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban”—’ (that is, a gift to God), 
      12 then you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother,

      "But if anyone does not provide for his own, ... he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever."

      πŸ™ŒπŸΎ RAE-ANN (OBITUARY)

        When Rae-Ann left here almost a year ago she left her two beloved pet hamsters, "Bold and Vite".  She grew attached to them since she had them for about a year.  Rae knew that it was likely that she would be saying goodbye to her pets forever because they have a lifespan of around two years.


        Bold in a bucket

        Last night we discovered Bold lying motionless in his cage.  Kiana, one of our "daughters", who happened to be on a video call with us, had the responsibility of breaking the news to Rae-Ann, who was also on a video call.


        Rae was in attendance

        We immediately conducted a funeral procedure where his little body was laid to rest.  (Don't worry we stuck to the funeral requirements since only five of us were in attendance.)


        all done... 

        This must bring a measure of sadness to her. πŸ˜’
