Dependence

Sorry for the delay; I was on a missionary trip and when I arrived, there was a problem with the Internet.

I always say this passage to my God, when I am travelling, remaining totally in His hands.

"The Lord will watch over your going out and your coming in, both now and forever." Psalm 121:8

Beauty

We know of a rose in Israel that is born in a marsh, mud or sewage. But even so, it survives the filth and becomes a beautiful rose, with a colour that is so red, it stands out among the rest.

This is how the children of God should be, to make a difference in this dirty, chaotic world.
"I am the rose of Sharon, the lily of the valleys."
Song of Solomon 2:1

Enlightenment

“How you have helped him who has no power! How you have saved the arm that has no strength! How you have counselled him who has no wisdom and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
With whose help have you uttered these words?
And whose spirit has spoken through you?"

Job 26:2-4

You must read and meditate on the Word of God and listen to His voice everyday. He really wants to use us but for this to happen, our ears must be very attentive, so that we please Him always. By avoiding evil, we are having the fear of the Lord - which is the beginning of all knowledge - and so, we have the help of the Lord Jesus, who gives us the Holy Spirit, which helps us with: anointing, inspiration and direction, to know how to speak and to reach those who are afflicted.

Just yesterday a pastor with anointing helped and counselled those present in the meeting. With boldness, he preached words from the Spirit of God. There was salvation! Because they have learnt to love a wonderful Father!

Home

"One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord and to meditate in His temple." Psalm 27:4

Servant

"Then the Lord said to Satan: Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one that fears God and shuns evil." Job 1:8

Shine

To achieve physically, performers do everything to excel in their work, both in theatre as well as on film. They must shine and be recognized for their talent to be considered a Star; a celebrity.

In the same way, students strive to be at the top so that they can have a promising future. At work also...there is a fierce struggle to remain, because thousands are being laid off; you need to survive, so you must improve your professional approach.

To conquer spiritually, you also face a war; you are constantly attacked so you must be brave, perseverant and always looking at the Aim - where the prize, with honour, is guaranteed. However, it must be pursued with great effort and desire from the depths of the soul; it's like being in love - your eyes shine - understand?

"For wisdom will enter your heart and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul." Proverbs 2:7

With the presence of God in your life you are a bright star, you even shine! The devil sees this light and knows that he can't touch you. Like the Father, you are a brilliant person, even here on earth.

"Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb; Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. Her light was like unto a stone most precious, as it were jasper stone, clear as crystal..." Revealtion 21:9-11

Wisdom

"But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?" Job 28:12-28.

When the human being has the yearning to fill his emptiness with the presence of God, and surrenders himself to Him, recognizing Him as Lord of his life, that is when he finds wisdom.

The only way to aquire it, is by humbling himself before God; realising that he can't go on without His guidance for living, with the vision and understanding of how to make the right choices, in this chaotic world.

In the last few verses of this passgage, He says that He understands the way to wisdom and it is He who knows its place; He sees everything under the heavens: "When He gave the wind its weight and apportioned out the waters by measure"... so He saw wisdom and declared it; He established it and searched it out. "And he said to the man: Truly, the fear of the Lord is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.” Job 28:28

Wisdom cannot be equaled to topaz or pearls, nor can it be valued with pure gold. Therefore, if we cultivate it we will be enriching ourselves.

The King’s Providence

We accepted to live in the righteous Kingdom, of our Lord Jesus, therefore we are entitled to enjoy all the benefits offered in His promises; like a place of peace and safety, (even in the midst of the problems that we faced with day to day), we are fed, comforted and find solace, because it was revealed to us by His power.

“And a man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall listen.” Isaiah 32:2-3

Voluntarily

For those who want to receive their daily food, inspired by the Holy Spirit, I will be here everyday with you. We are going to have ears so that we can practice the Christian way of life.

"I am the good shepherd; I know My sheep and am known by My own... No one takes My life from Me; on the contrary, I lay it down voluntarily. I have power to lay it down and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.” John 10:14-18.

Therefore, if we will not listen to Him, we will be left out of His Kingdom.
