My November letter to the ladies

Hello Ladies,

Hope your week is going on well!

CORPORATE PRAYER AND FASTING:-

It is the end of the 18^th day already! We are still on till Sunday!! All glory goes to our God for his abundant grace toward us. It wouldn’t have been possible without that!

Hopefully, we are all involved in it one way or the other. Somebody told me she has been fasting from Facebook and TV so as to devote time to studying the Bible and praying! Nice!

Whatever thing we choose to stay away from, the most important thing is calling upon the name of our Maker for more of him. It is drawing closer to him, turning our hunger from food or whatever thing we have chosen and turning to God. It is drawing near to him through praying, reading his word and meditating on his promises.

Personally, my time in prayer, in the word and meditating has really been a great blessing and very impacting. Praise God! The fasting from food part of it, though made my body weak, my spirit-man took off in a greater and stronger tangent! I’m trying to explain myself here! Ha! Praise the Lord!

It has become clear to me that praying is actually engaging in a spiritual battle with God’s word as our main weapon!  The more you pray the more victories are won!

If we must move forward in the business of advancing God’s kingdom, if we must progress in the ‘high calling’ of God on our lives and our families’, If we must stand against the tricks of the devil, principalities and powers, the rulers of the darkness of this age, spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12), we need to take praying seriously! Much prayer, much power ladies!

Our Saviour and Lord, Jesus Christ has given us power over all demons. When he sent his disciples out on their mission, he said he was giving them authority over all the power of the enemy. (Luke 10:19).

Jesus’ authority is greater than all satanic power! Alleluia! And with our Lord backing us up we have nothing to fear! Prayer ladies! Way to go!

MENTORING LIST

I have tried to put up a mentoring list for the ladies! Yeah! At last!! (Please see the list).

That has been on for some time. Remember, it was part of our goal for this year!

This is our first list and we hope to improve on it as time goes on.

Our aim is to promote more interaction and spiritual maturity among the ladies/girls in the church.

We need to be our sisters’ keepers.  Eh?

We need to encourage, bless and help one another and the younger ones among us too! (Older ones role modeling younger ones, helping them flesh out what it looks like to be a lady/girl after God’s heart).

We are all in different seasons of life.

There are hormonal issues, child issues, marriage issues, singleness issues, etc.

Whatever the issues are, so many of those revolve around our womanhood and our season of life. Listen. 

Show an interest ladies. Let them know that you care. I’m telling you, so many of these young women really just want to know that somebody cares. 

We’re supposed to teach them. But not just by putting them into Bible studies—that’s important—but we’re also supposed to teach it to them by modeling it to them, bringing them alongside of us in the context of everyday life.

On these note ladies, I’m going to stop writing and go to bed.

Thank you for taking time to read through this mail.

Oh! Lest I forget!

Our peeps from Camberra Fellowship

What a weekend in May! Some divine connections, for sure!

Hubby and I were guest speakers at this glorious family camp!

Amazing people with loads of love and warmth.
I simply fell in love with the youth and the ladies! Wishing I could stay back or bring every one with me.

I'll be back to share the details of it all.
Just want to post some of the pics from there.

Luv y'all Camberra Phillipino Fellowship! Mwa!

To U My King with love

What shall separate God from my love?
What shall separate God from my love?

What can come between my devotion to my King and me?
What can take my attention from my Redeemer?

Shall pressures of life-my job, my ministry, my studies, my passions, my desires,
Shall worries, trials, trouble and my needs cost me my complete devotion to you my Maker?

No, may none of these take Your place in my life, O Lord
No, may none of these take my attention and devotion to You my Savior.

And for you my husband, my kids, my families, my friends,

May your devotion be totally to our Maker
May your passion be to please and honor Him every day
May we stay on course forever focused on Him
May we be more sensitive to the promptings of His Spirit
May we be obedient to Him in everything

For

Nothing really satisfies like our God's love!
