must trust that when it arrives God will give you the grace to handle it. Remember, Satan loves to attack those who are in line for God’s blessing. That’s why Paul wrote, ‘I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me.’ Inner strength is better than outer strength because as long as you remain strong inwardly, you can handle anything that comes against you outwardly and keep moving forward. So today – be ready.

failure. Knowing this, the psalmist wrote: ‘If you make the Lord your refuge no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honour them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation”’ (Psalm 91:9-16 NLT). No matter what comes your way, you

The Bible says, ‘Don’t brag about tomorrow, since you don’t know what the day will bring’ (Proverbs 27:1 NLT). When you wake up every morning you have no idea what will happen to you that day. You hope for a trouble-free day where your expectations and wishes will be fulfilled, but you know from experience this isn’t always the case. We live in a real world with real problems. Your enemy the devil is real, and he works in every possible way to bring discouragement, fear, and

Today ‘be ready’ "I am ready for anything…through Him Who infuses inner strength into me." Philippians 4:13

Sunday 3rd & 10th May 2020

Whenever I read this chapter I always give a sigh of relief that God is with me through every obstacle I or we may all face, especially during these uncertain times. I am constantly reminded that God is faithful, and will never leave us even when we can't see what is ahead. His words are not only to heal and deliver but His words are also

there to comfort those

that need it the most.

Saints, keep trusting in God, through our weakness He is made strong and we will rise up again in Jesus

Name.

Some words of encouragement for you to ponder over the next two weeks

I am reading in the book of Daniel at the moment and have found it to be so encouraging. I was much encouraged by Daniel as he determined himself to pray three times a day despite the decree, signed by King Darius,

(Daniel 6: 1 v9 ).

I have been on my various social media

channels a lot in recent days, during work and in the evenings, and I decided to set my phone every 3 hours so I could pray 3 times a day. This has been a

blessing.

I was also encouraged by King Darius (6v 26-27). He honours Daniel's GOD, as he SAW (6v23) with his own eyes Daniel's

Daniel Chapter 6

GOD at work. God is at work in what we see and do not see. May we Pray and Praise like Daniel (6v 10) giving thanks and continuing to pray, KNOWING our God is able in this time during the Covid-19 season, remembering that

seasons come and go.

Bless you,

I have felt the Lord drawing me nearer to Him during this time as I have been seeking Him more and more. The following verse gives me hope and sustains me whenever I start to feel a bit

fearful:

"And when these things begin to come to pass

then look up, and lift your heads; for your redemption draweth

nigh." Luke 21:28

The absence of hope begets fear. Let's stand on hope even when things look hopeless.

This too shall pass.

Myrlande Holborough

The absence of hope begets fear

He is strong and with us. Let us take hope in the following and lets

sing praises to Him:

Isaiah 26:3 (ESV)

In spite of what we are facing remember our foundation is solid - the Rock of Jesus. The cross made a way for us to have undiluted confidence in Jesus and enables us to say the

Encouragement On Your Celebrations

Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man

his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him; And to our God,

for He will abundantly pardon.

Isaiah 55: 6-7

Jesus Appears to two Disciples 1. On the Sunday Jesus rose from the dead,

two of His disciples were walking along the road when suddenly Jesus was there walking with them. Where were the disciples going?

❑ Bethlehem ❑ Damascus ❑ Emmaus ❑ Jerusalem 2. What was unusual about this meeting? ❑ The disciples could hear Jesus, but couldn't

see anything. ❑ The disciples could hear Jesus, but could see

only a bright light. ❑ The disciples did not recognize Jesus at

first. ❑ Jesus had the appearance of a ghost.

3. What did Jesus and the disciples talk about while they were walking?

❑ Jesus' crucifixion ❑ The kingdom of God ❑ Jesus' transfiguration ❑ The Passover feast 4. At the end of the journey, the two disciples

begged Jesus to stay with them, saying, "Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over." So, Jesus stayed and shared a meal with them. What unusual thing happened at the meal?

❑ Jesus broke bread and it became enough to

feed all of them. ❑ A bright light filled the room. ❑ Moses and Elijah appeared there also. ❑ Jesus disappeared from their sight.

The Ten Commandments for younger readers

The Hebrew people had been slaves in Egypt for many years. About 3,300 years ago, God called Moses to lead them to freedom. They started out on a 40-year journey to their "Promised Land" of Israel. Three months after leaving Egypt, they were camped at the foot of Mount Sinai. God called Moses up to the top of the

mountain and gave him the Ten Commandments. Even though these Commandments are more than 3000 years old, they still help us live the way God wants us to live.

1. The First Commandment says, "I am the Lord your God. You must not worship any gods besides me." Which of these things does the First Commandment say we should do?

❑ Make rich and famous people our idols. ❑ Put our trust in God more than anything or

anybody else. ❑ Make whatever we want the most important

thing in our lives.

2. The Second Commandment says, "Do not make

idols of any kind and do not worship them." What does it mean?

❑ Don't make statues and worship them. ❑ Don't wear gold crosses. ❑ Don't have pictures of Jesus in your house. 3. The Third Commandment says, "Do not misuse

God's name." What does it mean? ❑ Be careful not to misspell "God" accidentally. ❑ Don't say, "I swear by God" when you are not

telling the truth. ❑ Don't say "Christ" when you should say

"God." 4. The Fourth Commandment

says, "Remember to keep the Sabbath day holy." What does it mean?

❑ Always go to church on

Easter. ❑ Save one day a week for

worshipping God. ❑ Save the first day of every month for going

to church. 5. The Fifth Commandment says, "Honor your

father and your mother." What does it mean? ❑ Be kind and obedient to your parents. ❑ Do well in school to make your parents proud. ❑ It's OK to be disrespectful to your parents

when you don't agree with them.
