You cannot transcend
what you do not know.
To go beyond yourself, you must know yourself.

Uma mensagem a todos os membros de MyGospel

."...as coisas antigas já passaram..." (2 Co 5.17). O medo de viver, na verdade, origina-se na culpa e no pecado. Só quem se livrou do fardo do passado pode entrar leve e despreocupadamente pelo portal de um novo ano. Jesus Cristo é grande o suficiente para nos perdoar todos os pecados. Basta que os confessemos a Ele.

2. "...eis que se fizeram novas..." (2 Co 5.17). Alguém disse certa vez: "Um dia pode ser uma pérola, e um século, nada." Aquele que entregou sua vida a Jesus ganha a eternidade para si; quem vive sem Jesus está perdendo tudo desde agora.

3. "Oh! Tomara que me abençoes..." (1 Cr 4.10). Quando o talentoso artista Michelangelo começou a maior obra de sua vida na Capela Sistina, pintou primeiro duas mãos que abençoavam. Ele sabia o que também nós temos de saber para um novo ano: "Tudo depende da bênção de Deus".

4. "O que eu faço não o sabes agora; compreendê-lo-ás depois" (Jo 13.7). Muitas coisas que acontecem nos parecem estranhas, muitos caminhos de Deus para conosco parecem ininteligíveis, mas na eternidade vamos entender o porquê, pois Deus jamais erra.

5. "...a vida que agora vivo na carne vivo-a na fé do Filho de Deus" (Gl 2.20b, Ed. Rev. e Corrigida). Para quem vive pela fé em Jesus, a fé de Jesus passa a se tornar efetiva: não existe fé maior do que essa. Viver com Jesus significa alcançar o alvo, pois Ele é o Autor e Consumador da fé (Hb 12.2).

6. "...faça-se a tua vontade..." (Mt 6.10b). Seguir ao Senhor com um coração íntegro e obedecer-Lhe traz bênção nunca imaginada e é o melhor pré-requisito para o sucesso espiritual. Dar finalmente o passo diante do qual vacilamos até agora nos faz felizes e nos conduz à liberdade.

Mateus - O que voce quer?

Uma mensagem a todos os membros de MyGospel

Então, aproximou-se de Jesus a mãe dos filhos de Zebedeu com seus filhos e, prostrando-se, fez-lhe um pedido. “O que você quer?”, perguntou ele. Ela respondeu: “Declara que no teu Reino estes meus dois filhos se assentarão um à tua direita e o outro à tua esquerda”. Disse-lhes Jesus: “Vocês não sabem o que estão pedindo. Podem vocês beber o cálice que eu vou beber?” “Podemos”, responderam eles.

Mateus 20:20-22
Pensamento: Tiago nos lembra que, às vezes, quando não recebemos o que pedimos a Deus, é porque pedimos mal (Tg 4:3). Ele está pensando em quando pedimos coisas por motivos egoístas. Mas, também, não recebemos muitas vezes porque Deus é tão bom. Deus sabe que às vezes pedimos coisas que nos trarão dor e sofrimento. Se aquela dor e sofrimento no final nos farão bem, Deus pode até conceder o pedido de oração. Entretanto, se não temos condições de lidar com aquela provação, Deus não concederá. Alguns Cristãos bem intencionados às vezes dizem que não recebemos tal coisa que pedimos a Deus por falta de fé. Isso é possível. Mas, pode ser que não recebemos por causa do grande amor e carinho de Deus por nós. A mãe de Tiago e João não fazia idéia do que estava pedindo. Jesus acaba de descrever o sofrimento que cerca seu próprio caminho para a glória no Reino. É evidente que os filhos de Zebedeu querem a glória, porém não entendem ainda a provação que a acompanha. Às vezes nós também não sabemos o que pedimos. Vamos dar ouvidos a este alerta de Jesus e sempre em nossos pedidos a Deus lembrar que Ele sabe o que é melhor para nós.

I prayed for you in the camp.God has assured me that He has answered your prayers.Deuteronomy 28:1-14 is His words to you.

You shall be the head and not the tail,
You shall be above only and not beneath, You shall be the first and not the last, You shall lend to many nations and not borrow.

Members of your family shall all be saved.
You will get a new better job.
You are blessed

Serve Me - Ladyjd

VERSE:
[Jesus said:] "If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour."
-- John 12:26
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=John+12:26&translation=kjv

THOUGHT:
We can't out serve, out love, or out give Jesus. He longs to bless us. He longs to pour out heaven's riches and grace upon us.
Even more incredibly, he longs to honor us. When our lives are over, God the Father, LORD of the entire universe, will honor all who have served his Son and blessed others in Jesus' name!
Unbelievable? No, just another example of God's incredible grace!

PRAYER:
Loving Father and Holy God, please help me follow the will of Jesus and serve others in his name. Father, I know that I cannot earn your grace, but I want to serve others in Jesus' name and help them find your grace. In the name of the Lord Jesus I pray. Amen.

Keep your Vision Clear

Pastor Stephen T. Nichols has sent you a message on iseecolor

Praise the Lord my saints and friends!!!
I wanted to take a moment today and encourage you to keep your Vision clear. It's often very hard in today's world to stay focused. It seems that just about the time you get a clear direction for your life and ministry, some event or trouble comes that throws you off track. I'm sure the enemy loves this part of his job.

"A double minded man is unstable in all of his ways." If you find that your vision is rarely able to stay constant, you may need to work on some scheduling and planning exercises which would help you to stay focused. I personally do not use any electronic type of scheduler, but find that the old time paper calendar and pencil work best for me. I know that several of you love gadgets, but I have always held to the idea that a person is more likely to accomplish what they have written down.

Keeping a daily prayer time and writing down your ministry's goals will work towards keeping your vision alive. While people and situations will constantly cause your mind to go in different directions, your Vision for your life, ministry and church should stay constant.

My number 1 goal for the day - Have a Vision and keep it alive!

Have a great day in the Lord and enjoy your next season of purpose!

Love Your Brother in Christ,
Pastor S. T. Nichols, Pastor

The Poem - Power . submitted by Tony Meyer

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.....
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer
No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God! Held a book;
It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said
"Your name I cannot find
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time"

Serving God from Pastor Ben

Dear friend ,this is the message i preached last sunday in church.I read from 2samuel 24:24

Here David sinned against God by numbering Israel.God sent a plague in Israel for some time and later decided to have mercy on the people .He told Gad the prophet to tell David to go and offer a sacrifice for Him at the threshing flour of Araunah the jebusite .Araunah wanted to give it to David free of charge ,but David said he must not give any offering to God that did not cost him something.So,he bought it with a price.

Friend i want you to know that your service for the lord must cost you something.It cost God His only begotten son Jesus for you to be saved.

It will cost you the following to serve God:

1, Your time

2, Your strength and Energy

3,Your money..offering,tithe,seed
4,persecution

5,Your life..It cost many Apostles their lives

You are blessed.
Ben

Prayer for Noris

Revelations 3:8
When God leads you to the edge of the cliff, trust Him fully and let go, only 1 of 2 things will happen, either He'll catch you when you fall, or He'll teach you how to fly! 'The power of one sentence! God is going to shift things around for you today and let things work in your favor. If you believe, send it. If you don't believe, delete it. God closes doors no man can open & God opens doors no man can close. If you need God to open, some doors for you...send this on. Have a blessed day and remember to be a blessing...





PS: PLEASE PRAY FOR MY COUSING GABRIELLA GARCIA, SHE IS SICK AND I BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRAYER.
