Fellowship before service :)

Think it has been quite some time since all of us gather to share our lives with one another, complaining and encouraging one another.

Yest the time we had before service was indeed a refreshing one for me. Encouraged by MJ's, nicoles's and nicholas's testimonies of their lives and how God has been working in their lives and encouraging them.

Think in times of stressful period we need to be encouraged more and also to encourage one another more.

Yest, nicole and Mj both shared about prayers. MJ shared about answered prayers, she made a simple prayer. Prayed in faith and trusted God to work things out and God really did. It was really amazing and really very encouraged!!! Reminded me that God is boundless and all things are possible through Christ. Amen!!

Nicole prayed and God strength her and assure her through the prayer. Giving her strength and the peace and assurance that she needed. Think this is one breakthrough that nicole is experiencing and I'm really glad to see you taking that faith to pray and believe in God. Always, from nicole's sharing, we can be sure that God is relevant even in our studies!!!! Havin a relationship isn't just an another thing of our life (that just involves church and cg), but God is real in every single part of us and our lives. He is the air we breathe and the food we need. He is our everything and He is the reason for our existence.

Let's continue to spur one another on and encourage one another, keeping one another in prayer too :) A short passage to encourage us :)

Jas 5:13-16
13Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. 14Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

We can always put our prayer requests here during this period and keep one another in prayer :)

Mark 11:22-23
22"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. 23"I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
