doing god's work

Dear Ronald,Yeows,Alexis,Horace,Kelvin
i am very encouraged by this article,talking about resisting to be in the norm and living out of the norm for the lord. I can imagine how much resistence i have to overcome in order to do the greater work the lord has assigned for me.
This man is tremendously bold and stand firm in doing what the lord have for him.In a place like wallstreet,where most bankers and businessman are more preoccupied with the figures and bottom lines than to live each day in serving the lord and sacrificing your time in between your lunch breaks to have a small prayer meeting is a rare occurrence.

Babyface,

I prayed that if is god's will for you to work in NYC,you will continue to live each day with him in your heart. make time to talk to him and learn to rely on him, do not be swayed by the worldy desires and the worldy ways to succeed in your career. Rest in the lord and count on him to prosper you for his way is easy and straight. I pray that the lord will give you the strength both physically,mentally,and emotionally t survive the tough enviroment out there. I also pray that you will learn to give thanks to the lord whatever you are given are all blessed by him. I pray that you will be bless supernaturally with gifts which will enable you to do well on the job. Most importantly,i prayed that you will not let your work rob your personal time with our father. Our father ,the almighthy will make everything possible

My brothers-in-christ,
no matter in which part of the world now,i prayed that you guyz will always spend time in his word. Enrich yourself with his wisdom and he shall guide you all in all the things you will be doing. rely on him and not your own efforts.Have his kingdom first before everything and all things shall be added upon you. Do not succumb to temptations for satan is lurking everywhere,waiting to devour us.Be assured in what he has given to us and glorify him. Edify others and spread the gospel wherever you all go. The lord will continue to bless all of you

Amen.

Love
Raine


Living for a Greater Cause
References:-->Philippians 4:13I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.
What does it mean for businesspeople to live for a cause greater than themselves in our day and time? Jeremiah Lanphier was a businessman in New York City who asked God to do this in his life in 1857.
In a small darkened room, in the back of one of New York City's lesser churches, a man prayed alone. His request of God was simple, but earth-shattering: "Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" [John Woodbridge, ed., More Than Conquerors (Chicago, Illinois: Moody Press, 1992), 337]
He was a man approaching midlife without a wife or family, but he had financial means. He made a decision to reject the "success syndrome" that drove the city's businessmen and bankers. God used this businessman to turn New York City's commercial empire on its head. He began a businessmen's prayer meeting on September 23, 1857. The meetings began slowly, but within a few months 20 noonday meetings were convening daily throughout the city. The New York Tribune and the New York Herald issued articles of revival. It had become the city's biggest news. Now a full-fledged revival, it moved outside New York. By spring of 1858, 2,000 met daily in Chicago's Metropolitan Theatre, and in Philadelphia the meetings mushroomed into a four-month long tent meeting. Meetings were held in Baltimore, Washington, Cincinnati, Chicago, New Orleans, and Mobile. Thousands met to pray because one man stepped out. Annus Mirabilis, the year of national revival, had begun.
This was an extraordinary move of God through one man. It was unique because the movement was lead by businessmen, a group long considered the least prone to any form of evangelical fervor, and it had started on Wall Street, the most unlikely of all places to begin.
Could God do something extraordinary through you? Take a step. Ask God to do mighty things through you.

Happenings in HUB

what i want to do for hubby

what is the feeling of truely falling in love with someone?I think you will think of him every minute ,every second and you will like to share whatever you have with him. I want to thank hoon for giving me a spa treat today which comprised aof an hour lympahtic massage. I did not hink the therapist did a wonderful job but i was totaly relaxed after the hot steam bath and shower. It suddenly made me realised that i have to start to do some detox once in a while and is good for me to indulge some massages sometimes.

i begin to think of babyface and i was wondering of how to make him feel relaxed in his job in the future.. You need a break in a high performing job and definitely in order to maintain good health, you must eat well, work out and maintain a heathy mindset.

While sitting on the couch, i begin to imagine that i will try to create a relaxing home for my hubby next time, with essential oils burning,aromatherapy and some massage gel to give his stressful mind and body relax. I need to take care of his diet,making sure that he eats healthily especially vegetables ,fruits which will boost immunity system .I will also make lots of fruit juices for him to drink. It is important to eat healthily. if possible herbal tonics as well.Once in a blue moon,we will go for some spa treatment together. it is important to eat healthily and be happy.
from now on, i hv to start to get myself fit. Therapist said that i hv weak digestive system and have slight constipation which is true. My bowels are not that good and i have been having diarrhoea since the begiining of this year. My weight has alarming dropped to 48kg,my lowest record in my entire 24 years.
i feel worried but yet thank god that he may want me to look better during my ROM. And unexpectedly,god blessed me with many gifts which hoon has blessed me with. Free Diamond peeling and another body massage. Thank god for all these and a wonderful fren like HOON!!!

resting in HIM

While lying in bed going over my mental to-do list, I began to experience a panic attack of the Christian kind. I had been listening to a “My yoke is easy and my burden is light” sermon on the radio and my “get up on the wrong side of the bed” self got rather annoyed. I thought God, not to be disrespectful, but I’d be happy for you to take my burdens. I’ll just leave the keys by the front door and you take the kids to school. While you’re at it, swing by the bank and pay the mortgage. Do a fish and loaves thing. After that, kindly take my two-year-old for her ear re-check appointment. Then, create a babysitter, lead the PTA meeting, and on the way home stop by the grocery store. I’m in desperate need of some new and exciting ideas for dinner. After dinner is over, we can all sit down and you can explain to us exactly where all our money goes.

Upon finishing this unpleasant discourse in my head and then spending a good amount of time repenting, I realized something significant about myself. I had become weary, not to mention obnoxious. Although I had been a Christian for many years, in some areas, I was like the rocky soil Jesus speaks about in His parable. I listened intently to God’s Word, but many times lost the application the minute the daily grind started to pound in on me. My overcrowded routine would carry away the “seed” before it would have a chance to take root. In this case, the concept of Jesus carrying my burdens and lightening my load was just that – a concept. A foreign idea I never quite understood.

Jesus explains to us how to apply His truths and how to be “good soil.” He tells us to really hear the Word, understand it and persevere. Then we will produce a good crop, yielding a great deal more than was originally sown.

For me, hearing meant listening with an active ear and an undistracted heart. Understanding meant taking the daily quiet time needed to permit the Holy Spirit to plant the Word deep within me. Persevering, at times, can mean waiting patiently for the seed to grow. It may also mean seeking God with your whole heart until He alone reveals His truths to you.

The Bible contains so many promises. If we take a hard look, we may recognize some of these promises have yet to be fully experienced. Could this be due to rocky soil?

God wants us all to produce a good crop. Ask Him today to help you remove the rocky places in your life that are keeping you from fully receiving everything He has to offer.

My Prayer for Today:
Father, Please help me receive all you have for me. Let my heart be open and ready to take delivery of all of your truths. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Application Steps:
Take a few minutes before Bible study, small group, Sunday school, or personal devotion time and ask God to prepare your heart. Ask God to keep your thoughts focused and your mind undistracted. Take notes during the sermon and review them later. Place important points or Bible verses on a note card and position them where you can see them frequently throughout the day.

Reflection Points:
Are there promises are in the bible I have yet to experience?

In what areas of my life, do I need to “remove the rocks”?

How can I eliminate the “distractions” during times of worship and personal devotion?

Power Verses:
Matthew 11:30, “For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (NIV)

Psalms 55:22, “Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.” (NIV)

Jeremiah 29:13, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” (NIV)
Exodus 33:14, “The LORD replied, ‘My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.’" (NIV)
