The Tree

"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.

For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream and will not fear when the heat comes; but its leaves will be green, and it will not be anxious in a year of drought, nor cease to yield fruit." Jeremiah 17:7-8

When you establish your trust in God, His presence refreshes and satisfies your soul in such a way that even if problems come, you are steadfast and certain of victory; and still, you are able to infect others with this living water - the drink from the Rivers of God.

Conviction

"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Romans 8:38-39

The remarkable experience sensed by those who are born of God is very strong. The love of their Lord is unparalleled; His love brings them peace and security. He gives them direction and vision so that they will make the right choices; and the best thing: the certainty (with gladness and joy) of their salvation – the passport of faith.

Thanksgiving

"He who offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me; and to him that orders his way aright, will I show the salvation of God." Psalm 50:23

Sunday: the day we dedicate to our God; to worship Him, to glorify Him and to encounter the fullness of His Spirit. It is this supply of the Spirit that empowers us to make His Name known to all those that desire Him in their lives.

Brightness

"Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever." Daniel 12:3

He who saves souls is wise.

There is a price to pay, but the harvest is great and the labourers are few. You have to work your fingers to the bone, fast, pray early in the morning and then by the Spirit, be used to show people the Way of salvation.

"Those who sow in tears shall reap with joy." Psalm 126:5

These people will shine for all eternity.

I Am Pleased

"Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles." Matthew 12:18

Shortly after the Lord Jesus was baptized in water by John the Baptist, there came a voice from heaven saying: "This is my Son, in whom I am well pleased." These words were proof that Jesus pleased and obeyed His Father. Therefore, those who seek to be free must abandon the wrong path and follow the right one. It is on this right path that they will find God and hear the same voice; and He will make His home within them through the Holy Spirit.

We always pray that all will be filled with the presence of the Lord Jesus.

Revival

"O LORD, I have heard your speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive your work in the middle of the years, in the middle of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy." Habakkuk 3:2

This is my prayer every day.
We were called and chosen to take the Word of God to the lost and to warn them of His return. The years are flying by and D Day is approaching; our souls are in agony for those who don't yet know Him.

Perseverance

"I know your works, your labour and your perseverance, and how you can not bear men that are evil: and you have tried those who say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them liars; and you have perseverance and have endured for My name sake, and have not grown weary." Revelation 2:2-3

Jesus reveals to the Apostle John that He holds His servants in His Hands: pastors that are at His disposal in the preaching of His Word. He says that He walks among the seven gold candlesticks - a symbol of the seven types of people that serve Him; people that were bought with His blood and are therefore priceless in value before Him. At the end, He praises those who persevere and don't give up, even in the face of difficulty.

We honour a just God, Who appreciates faithful children that persevere.
