Good morning. Here is the message from Joan from Sunday

06/06/2026

God’s word for this week; “I never stop giving thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers.” Ephesians 1 v 16
Someone is giving thanks for you, for God’s work in your life and for what you mean to the people around you.
No person, nation or demonic power can stop God’s sovereign purpose, no matter what they think or how hard they try.
Some people accept beliefs about God and sickness that are simply not true. They end up living at the level of their belief and never know the fullness of God’s blessings.
The chief purpose of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. How are you doing?
God says that every Christian is a somebody that He has gifted in some way.
Nothing in this world is permanent or certain, but on the other hand the word of God stands forever.
Temporal means subject to change and that includes all the things you can physically see, hear, touch, taste and smell. But the things which are not seen are internal. These are the promises of God in His word. They stand and prevail no matter what is going on in the world around you.
If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say?

Verse for today; “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and don’t depend on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3 v 5
God you are my guide. Please be near me, I need you in order to see clearly and to gain the wisdom I need for my life.
Jesus is the way and we may want to buy our way in, work our way in, think our way in, but the Bible is clear. Jesus Christ provides the only way in. He’s saying come unto me and live life with a new outlook and purpose. He’s saying come and receive my rest and peace.
Think of challenges as a way of learning, you can overcome them because you have God helping you.
Use your gifts and be part of Gods big family plan. You will grow as a person and it will bring joy to the Father heart of God.
When Jesus Christ is the centre of attraction in any church, there will be oneness, unity and joy.
Some folks don’t seem to realise when they are moaning about getting their prayers answered that No is the answer.
Everything is impossible until someone does it.
There are some Christians who can’t be called pilgrims because they don’t make any progress.
Why should God come to your house if you won’t come to His house.

Word for this week; “He who hears my word and believes in Him who sent me, has everlasting life.” John 5 v 24
Are you truly hearing God’s word, and are you believing? Do it today and receive God’s great promises.
Until you stop comparing yourself with others, you will never be able to give birth to the gifts God has placed within you. So thank Him today for making you who you are.
You can have all the stuff in the world yet it means nothing without the assurance of your heavenly Father’s love.
The Bible tells us problems will come our way, but God does promise lasting joy for all those who believe in Him. This kind of joy stays with us despite our problems.
You keep thinking there’s time, but time is quietly leaving.
As Christian’s we belong to the kingdom of God. As we live our lives they must show actions and attitudes of kingdom people.
For faith to prosper, it must experience challenges.
You can’t be tempted with anything you don’t think.
