LET PEACE RULE IN YOUR HEART

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).

In 2 Corinthians 2:10-11, Paul said, “To whom ye forgive anything, I forgive also: for if I forgave anything, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.”
Here, the Spirit, through the Apostle Paul, highlights the importance of forgiving others, so that Satan doesn’t take advantage of the situation. It’s the way to allow the peace of Christ to rule in your heart.

You may have a reason to be offended or angry, but Ephesians 4:26 says, “Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” Some have left the church because they were angry, and others have quit their jobs because of anger. Some have accommodated anger against others for so long, without realizing its destructive effect on their own lives.

Practise the Word. Don’t retain anger in your heart; give it up quickly. You may say, “But what so-and-so did against me caused me terrible pain”; it makes no difference. When you’re filled with the Spirit, your heart is ruled with peace and you live joyfully and in love, irrespective of the actions of others.

The Word says in James 5:13: “Is any among you afflicted? let him pray...”; he didn’t say, “Let him fight or be vengeful”; neither did He say, “Let him tell the whole world about it.” The word “afflicted” in that verse also means to be aggrieved or offended. He says if that happens to you, pray about it. Don’t get troubled and become bitter.

The Bible says, “Be anxious about nothing; in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God” (Philippians 4:6), and His peace will rule in your heart.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for pouring out your love on me lavishly. I share the same love with those in my world, loving them unconditionally. Thank you for giving me the capacity to forgive and love like you do, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart (Jer. 48:29).

Over and over again in the Scriptures, God warns us against the sin of pride. But when he ws strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense (2 Chron. 26:16). Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall (Prov. 16:18). He has made it clear that pride blinds you to the Truth that is God. Pride causes your focus to shift from God to self.

Does this mean that God does not want us to experience pleasure upon the successful completion of a task? Of course not! God wants us to give our best efforts in everything we do, and the only way we will be able to do that is if we are able to feel that rush of personal satisfaction at the end of a job well done. Pride comes into play when you look at something and say "look what 'I' did" instead of "look at what God enabled me to do." Pride presents a significant stumbling block in our quest to serve God. Whenever you think, "God needs me to," you know pride is starting to rear its ugly head. We need God; God doesn't need us. God loves us, and He wants us to be involved, but none of us are necessary to carry out His plan.

Approach each day with humble prayer, and open yourself to the role that God has for you now. End each day with thankfulness for the tasks He has allowed you to accomplish.

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith (Rom. 12:3).

You are blessed

The BEAUTY of Human Relations

*No matter how many times the teeth bite the tongue, they still stay together in one mouth. That's the spirit of*
FORGIVENESS.
*Even though the eyes don't see each other, they see things together, blink simultaneously and cry together.*
That's "UNITY."
*May we practise the spirit of forgiveness and togetherness.*

1. Alone I can 'Say' but together we can 'Talk'.
2. *Alone I can 'Enjoy' but together we can 'Celebrate'
3. *Alone I can 'Smile' but together we can 'Laugh'_
*That's the BEAUTY of Human Relations. We are nothing without each other*

*The razor blade is sharp but can't cut a tree; the axe is strong but can't cut the hair.*

*Everyone is important according to his/her unique purpose. Never look down on others unless you are admiring their shoes*

May the Lord visit you and perform his good word toward you. He will restore you, establish you and give you peace. Your future will will be much brighter than you past and present and your end will be much more greater in the name of Jesus.

Have a blessed new month. November month to remember. God will remember you and your loved ones
TOGETHER WE ARE BLESSED

Five things we owe every Pastor’s wife.

Beloved, as promised, here are few ways you could support the ministry of your Pastor.(take time to read and take action)
Your Pastor's wife deserves equal respect accorded her husband.

1. We owe her the right to be herself.
She is our sister in Christ and accountable to him. Allow the pastor’s wife to serve in whatever areas she’s gifted in. Allow her to try different things, and to grow. But do not put your expectations on her, if at all possible. Do not try to tell her how to raise her children. Do not try to get to her husband through her with your messages or (ahem) “helpful” suggestions.
2. We owe her our love and gratitude.
She has a one-of-a-kind role in the congregation, which makes her essential to the church’s well being. Church members should love the wife and children and show them appreciation at every opportunity.
3. We owe her our love and prayers.
While the Father alone knows her heart, the pastor may be the only human who knows her burdens. Pray for her by name on a regular basis. Then, leave it to the Lord to answer those prayers however he chooses. If we believe that the living God is our Lord and Saviour and that He hears our prayers, we should be lifting to Him those whose lives are given in service for Him. Ask the Father for His protection upon the pastor’s wife and children—for their health, for their safety from all harm, and for Him to shield them from evil people. Pray for His provisions for all their needs, and for the church to do well in providing for them. Pray for the pastor’s relationship with his wife. If their private life is healthy, the congregation’s shepherd is far better prepared for everything he will be asked to do.
4. We owe her our responsible care.
What does she need? Do they need a babysitter for a date night? Do they need some finances for an upcoming trip? If they are attending the state assembly or the annual meeting of the denomination, are the funds provided by the church budget adequate or do they need more? Is the wife going with the pastor? (She should be encouraged to do so, if possible.) Ask the Holy Spirit what the pastor’s wife (and/or the pastor’s entire family) needs, and if it’s something you can do, do it. If it’s too huge, rally the troops.
5. We owe it to the pastor and his wife to speak up. Sometimes, they need a friend to take their side. If your pastor’s wife has a ministry in the church, look out for people who are criticizing her for: a) dominating others, b) neglecting her home or c) running the whole show. To some, she cannot do anything right. You be the one to voice appreciation for her talents and abilities, her love for the Lord and her particular skills that make this ministry work. Imagine yourself standing in a church business meeting to mention something the pastor’s wife did that blessed someone, that made a difference, that glorified the Lord. Imagine yourself planning in advance what you will say, asking the moderator (who is frequently the pastor) for a moment for “a personal privilege,” without telling him in advance. And, imagine yourself informing a couple of your best friends what you are planning to do, so they can be prepared to stand up “spontaneously” and begin the ovation. (Hey, sometimes our people have to be taught to do these things!) The typical reaction most church members give when someone is criticizing the pastor’s wife is silence. But you speak up. Praise God for her willingness to get involved, to not sit at home in silence, but to support her husband and bless the church.
