TREASURES OF HOPE - Reflections

We had our second meeting of Treasures of Hope Womens group last night. Here's some highlights of our wonderful time last night:!

Our devotion was from John 4: 1-26 "Come to the Well."

Why come to the well? Because Jesus is there waiting for us! When we come with a desire to seek His presence, we find Him. Oh, there is so much at the Well. I felt the Holy Spirit took over the words that spilled out from my mouth. What a place to be! It's at the Well we hear the longings of His heart. What a supernatural experience - a supernatural revelation of His love – deep, so deep.  There was room made in our hearts for God to move. The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Ephesians said: “…grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Chrit, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that we may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” That revelation can shape our innermost beings and wells up like a spring - and we just can’t help but pour it out onto others who are thirsty!

And the water from the well spilled out to the thirsty last night... we drank our fill and later shared our experiences with each other. There was just a few of us - and we felt the power of God's Word move in our midst.

Testimony time:  
  • "Prayer“ connects us to the well
  • when thirsty, you cannot do without this water. it quenches your thirst, it satisfies
  • the well that brings fresh hope; the rainbow in the sky - God's promises that we can claim for ourselves. 
  • the well of healing - more than what medication physicians prescribe. 
  • the well that gives strength to the weak traveller...
  • the well that gives assurance of protection...
  • the Well that never runs dry..! (just to mention a few)
Ministry time - Prayed for one another. One of our women made a fresh re-commitment to walk with Jesus. God's Word quenches the thirsty, glory be to God!

Thank you for visiting, please visit again, we appreciate your prayers and feel free to leave comments.

There is more to come from Treasures of Hope"

Launch of Blog - "Treasures in Darkness"

Treasures in Darkness Today, I am launching my new blog - 'Treasures in Darkness." Praise God for technology!  God gives us the desires of our hearts. The blog is an open door of opportunities towards making a dream come true. Blogging is an opportunity to start writing! I feel like I own a million dollars.  God is exceedingly good!    " And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness - secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the Lord God of Israel, the God who calls you by name'" (Isaiah 45:3). The world is full of treasures that are buried or hidden until it is discovered! When we face loss, pain and disappointment, God desires that we find the valuable lessons hidden in our times of affliction. It is all very well when our days are full of sunshine and the blessings of God are so evident. But the treasures in times of affliction are not easy to see. Our hearts must have eyes to seek Him in the darkness of our suffering - and...

It’s A New Season!

It’s A New Season - and  Moving Right Along... ”I worship you I worship You The reason I live is to worship You!” I thank God for my journey and for bringing me to a new milestone, a new era of my life, WOW!    Glory be to God!   I celebrated my 70th birthday a week ago with my family and it was a lovely beautiful time.     I thank God that I got to celebrate this milestone with the people I love the most; that Corvus 19 lock down happened while we’re all together as a family.    I’m ever so grateful to you Lord! And now, moving on to face this age thing “head on”.     The world talks a lot about 70 being the new 60, 50 being the new 40 and so on.    Whatever that mean, I think for me it is time to call a “spade a spade”. What does turning 70 mean for me?    Is it time to give up on living life like I used to?    Is it time to lose interest in the things that I have ...

The courage of love

Against the dark background of much despair, the message of Easter, of the resurrection brings to us a bright light of hope. It is a message about the courage of love that sets the Christian faith apart from all other beliefs. It is about a loving God who relentlessly pursues us (Ezekiel 34:12) despite the sin in our lives. During our reflection time at work this week – I was led to read the following scripture: Jesus said to [Martha] “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die" (John 11:25-16). Sometimes we don’t think much about the daily acts of courage as we live out our Christian values. It takes courage to speak God's Word in places where you know there are unbelievers who are resistant to the message of he Gospel. I believe this is no time to be satisfied with the status quo in our lives. We should take every opportunity that come and turn them ...
