Prayer Request Brethren in Christ

[Jellani]

We will have our first bible study tomorrow with our co work mates, we still dont know where to gather but we know God will direct us to the place that He has prepared for us. May this gathering open hearts and bring us more deeper and closer to Him.
Also please include that many more souls will Know and Acknowledge Jesus as our Lord and Savior in our workplace.

Greetings,

Shall be praying. It is good to fellowship and study Scripture together.

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee. Blessed art Thou, O LORD: teach me Thy statutes.
Psalm 119:11-12

For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: so shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
Isaiah 55:8-13

The entrance of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
Psalm 119:130


Bless you and your co-workers ....><>

Thank you so much for all your prayers. Yesterday the enemy really did try his best for our first gathering not to be successful but GOD is greater.

I wanted to share what I learned last night. We tackled Judges 3:31/ 5:6 about shamgar.

Shamgar doesn’t have the longest story in the bible but he did a great impact how he delivered Israel.

The lesson of this story is it doesnt matter how long we live on this earth as long as we lived with purpose.

I was so amazed with the testimony of the pastor, how they started Church in Tondo.

He lived in tondo. If you can search tondo, in the Philippines, you will know why his bravery was so amazing. ( Tondo is a place known for danger- where if you lived there and you will hire for a cab, chances are the driver will say no to you.)

This is the testimony of Ps. Herbie.

They started the church in a garage ( totally a garage- where totally they need to renovate the place ) and where if you attend the gathering you will felt that you are inside the “sauna room”- totally there were no aircons, because tondo is a place where the poorest of the poorest of people came. But the amazing thing is people attended church without complain, and in just months time they made up 6 services in 1 sunday, thousands of people attended and imagined those people who attended backgrounds are either a thief, druglords-name it BUT GODs mercy and love, so deep that He raised up His army on that place.

Going back :smile:

One day the pastor prayed to God for a bigger venue, like totally a bigger venue :smile: He says that he was praying 3am in the morning and he heard the Lord says the word “ Moriah.”

He told the church that they will going to transfer to a bigger place! Of course everyone was so excited! Now when the the other leader of the church asked Ps. Herbie about where to transfer the place, he doesnt know what to answer but he knows in his heart and really by faith He knows God will surely provide.

He prayed to God again and then one day he received a call from a chinese businessman. And he remember few years back in their place in Tondo, he did a rally ( like a jericho march ) with the thousands of people in tondo, written words on their T- shirt- JESUS IS KING OF TONDO.

He says that the goal of that event is not promote religion but to Honor JESUS. Now they prayed a certain place in tondo where that chinese businesman owned the place, they anointed that place with oil and prayed.

You will see How the LORD really moves.
When that businessman called Ps. Herbie, Ps. Herbie mentioned him what that man told him long time ago that if pastor needs a place, he can used his place, and the businessman says how can i forget that because the LORD showed you in my dream ( no longer to write here the dream ) but really that was the key for them to have a bigger and more comfortable place.

For them to be able to get the contract they need to pay 3million in Philippine currency ( now another challenge for Ps. Herbie and he mentioned it to the congregation- that they need to make 3 million in 2 months time.

The next thing happened was really the moved of GOD to the hearts of those people, how the Lord unite His children.
One testimony is there was this old lady, whose the means of his living is to peel garlic- for 1 sack of garlic he will earn 80 pesos ( in dollars i dont know if even it reaches 1 dollar ) but the heart of the old lady was help the church earn the amount needed. So everyone really shared what they have even to the last penny. ( by the way mostly people in tondo lived under the bridge- but their hearts really wants to honor God with what they have. )

To make it short like last friday of the month ( this story just happened last year ) they only needed 600, 000 pesos. Pastor Herbie still have this hope in His heart that they will get the amount needed.

So the answer of God came after the services of that last sunday. One pastor called him and asked him of he need something, then he told him the situation. And there really GOD provides the last amount.

When Ps. Herbie announces it to the whole congregation they were really really jumping and praising God! Like they won a lottery!

The lesson that Ps. Herbie wants to say is that if we want to serve God. Do not wait for bigger things to happen.

1. Start where you are
2. Use what you have
3. And do what you can

And God will do what you cannot do. :smile:

It doesnt matter how long you live, as long as you live with purpose.

Thank you for sharing that with us, Jellani @Jellani

encouraging as we can all think that we need to be somewhere in order to get somewhere, which is a bit on the silly side!

The Bible tells us to walk by the Spirit. In order to be walking we need to start somewhere and for everyone i have ever met, they all have to start where they are! Also, to be walking, one goes from one place (where they are) to another place. And, as we walk, we must walk with all our hearts and minds set to the Glory of God, not ourselves nor man and not the world.

May your future gatherings be a blessing to you and those who attend, to the glory and praise of our God and Saviour


Bless you ....><>

Dear Jellani @Jellani, thank you for sharing this wonderful story, to God be the Glory.

What we see here, is Faith that moves mountains and the early Church in action. God opens door when we have Faith, as believers we all have faith, that is true, but here in what you kindly share with us, was faith greater than any mustard seed.

But what is also so clear in the story sister, is how the community of believers, who had little, all gave of what they had for the benefits of each other, and the 'ekklesia', to bring Glory to God through Jesus Christ our precious Lord and Saviour. You are honouring God, you are Glorifying the Church of Christ and He is Blessing you for your faith and love, for Him, and for one another.

We come together in prayer, in faith, in love, in Jesus Name, and pray for the protection of all believers, we pray that the Holy Spirit will guide the hearts and minds of you all, may the light of Christ shine forth from every saved soul, bringing others out of darkness into the Glorious Light of Christ. May your future meetings be fruitful unto the Lord. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Jesus Loves you all, we do to.

In His Love \o/
