When trouble comes, be strong,
sometimes you think nobody cares,
nobody understand,
nobody listens,
nobody supports sincerely,

you are totally WRONG if you think so.

sometimes you just never realise because you never accepted Him,
He's just so near to us.
He's watching us and everything in light or in darkness.
 
But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul.
(Deuteronomy 4:29)

Trust in the Lord our Saviour entirely,
do not worry for He has His purposes in everything that happens to you,

Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.
(Proverbs 3:5-6)





Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
(Philippians 4:6-7)

and God says:
Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
(Matthew 11:28-30)


Take all the difficulties poped up as trials
You need to overcome them with the strength God gives to you (if you ask for it)
and that's called GROWTH
rejoice when trouble comes instead of mourning because you'll grow.



When all kinds of trials and temptations crowd into your lives, don't resent them as intruders, but welcome them as friends! Realize that they come to test your faith and to produce in you the quality of endurance.
(James 1:2-4) 

Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. 
But take heart, because I have overcome the world.
(John 16:33)

Sometimes,
you might not even know,
God's just here,
He's so near,
willing to listen to what's in your heart,
understanding your life for it's what He plans,
it's in His hands,
trust in him,
nothing defeats Him for He's the creator of the world.


Nothing can go beyond the power of Him.


you talk, He listens,
you fall, He picks you up,
you asks, He shows you the way.

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
Psalm 62:8



Amen.

 “For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility...” Ephesians 2:14



 
Please pray for the people of Ethiopia. Ethiopia is one of the oldest civilizations on earth and is in the center of Africa. Please pray for God’s blessing on the country, that everyone who truly seeks God will find Him, and that the country will experience prosperity after many years of hardship in the last decades.



Why should you go to church, if there is one near you, or gather with other Christians? Here are 7 reasons for you to consider.
  1. God wants you to connect with other Christians.
  2. You can learn from godly teaching and become a stronger Christian.
  3. You can worship God and bring Him honor and glory as you worship Him in the congregation.
  4. You can learn how to study the Bible from others
  5. You can get to know other Christians who can affirm you and help you.
  6. You can give to God, both financially and in serving others within the church.
  7. Your family can grow as Christians.

  8. Will your church be perfect?
    Of course not;
    because the church is made up of people, and all of us are not perfect.
    However, we are forgiven in Jesus Christ;
    we can be filled with God’s Holy Spirit;
    and, even though we are not perfect,
    the Bible says we as the church will be the bride of Christ.
    Since Jesus Christ loves us in spite of our imperfections,
    let us all love God and love others as we seek to serve Christ together.


Let us pray that
  • God will spread His peace and joy and love through you in Jesus Christ to the world around you

  • God will help you to be a blessing to Him and to others at church and everywhere

  • God will protect our staff at Global Media Outreach and fill us with His Holy Spirit
  •  
THANK YOU for your prayers.
Someday we can meet in heaven and rejoice in all that Jesus Christ has done in your life and in ours. In the meantime let us pray together that God’s kingdom will come on earth as it is in heaven.

May God bless you,

Gasping for air, she struggled to keep her head above water . . .


The swirling water was deafening. One thought surged through her head. She had to hold onto her baby . . .

Then he appeared from nowhere. Next thing this young mother knew, she and her baby were on the shore. But he was gone. 18-year-old Muelmar’s strength failed him. The flood swept him away after he saved 30 from certain death.

Nearly three million people in the Philippines have been displaced by two typhoons. They have nothing left.

He was swimming his sister to safety when he heard the cries . . .

Please pray for these people,

God bless you,

Amen.

"As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you" 
(Joshua 1:5b). 

A black hole is a place of total nothingness.
It's a time in our life when God removes the resources and supports that we normally rely on to feel secure - our careers, finances, friends, family, health and so forth
It is a preparation time

When you find yourself in a black hole experience, don't just sit and brood.
Take stock of your life. Take a look at your relationship with God.

First, ask God if there are any sins, habits, or attitudes that
He might be judging in your life.
It's important to discern whether the trial we face is the result of God's discipline for our sin?
or if it is preparing us for a future leadership role.


Second, when you enter a black hole, don't trust your feelings.
Trust God
Your feelings might tell you, "God has rejected you. Abandon hope. He has left you utterly alone."
Feelings change; God never changes.
Feelings come and go; God is always with us.


Third, remember that your black hole experience is not only intended to refine and define you;
it's also intended to influence and change the lives of hundreds or even thousands of other people.
Our adversity is not just for us, but others in our sphere of influence.
 
Forth, don't try to hurry the black hole process along.
Remember, when Joseph (bible character) was in the depths of the pit, there was nothing he could do about it.
He couldn't climb out, jump out, levitate out, or talk his way out.
All he could do was pray and wait upon the Lord.

Fifth, lean on God.
Even when you don't feel like praying, pray.
Even when you don't feel like reading His Word, read.
Even when you don't feel like singing songs of faith, sing.
When you pray, don't just talk; listen.
Be silent before Him and listen for His still, quiet voice.
 

Sixth, be alert to new truths and new perspectives.
During a black hole experience, God often leads us to amazing new discoveries.
A black hole can be a storehouse of unexpected riches for the soul.

Let's end this with a little of prayer to our Heavenly Father:

Dear Father, I know that You're near to me all the time. Do bring me closer to You and let me listen to Your voice quietly in my heart. Fill my soul with Holy Spirit, strength and faith. Please support me in everything I do and encounter.
In Jesus's name, AMEN.

Finally, God bless you !
