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"

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 into times

The suddenlies!

Welcome to my November post!   God moves in the suddenlies!   Treasures Of Hope image From little things, big things grow. When a door of opportunities closes, l ittle grace becomes enough grace. We grope in the darkness of the valley until  a glimmer of light appears. Hope! Ju st a little hope, is enough hope, so you hold on to that.    When the unexpected happens, will my mustard-seed faith move the mountain that blocks the way forward? Jesus said, " if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you" Matthew 17:20. Two months ago, I resigned from my job and before I had time to ponder over things, I was on a plane to a conference for Pacifi c women in Brisbane, Australia . I had prayed about goin g to this in the past but I'd been so consumed with work and other commitments that I'd forgotten about it. U ntil now, and I thanked G

A new year - a "fresh start"

The New Year is here! What a year it's been. And I'm really glad to be starting a New Year. Looking back, 2010 was a busy year. I started a new job at the beginning of the year. Launched my blog (Treasures In Darkness) and started writing. I volunteer weekly as co-host for a radio prayer ministry to the Samoan community and the nations. The ministry celebrated it's first birthday last year. The month of April saw the start of an outreach ministry "Treasures of Hope" to local women in the community. Then in November/December, I attended the 50th Jubilee of Youth With A Mission in Kona, Hawaii. The year closed with the passing away of my father on Christmas day. That year is behind me now. It's time to look ahead! One of the values I had learned from my late father's life was that of ' perseverance. ' He believed in hard work ("if you don't work you don't eat... you become poor"). As a fisherman, he was well known for bringing big
