God confirms your mission through church and circumstances

This is the topic last night about about Experiencing God module. And I thank God that I was on a right track..He is teaching me to trust Him amidst the circumstances. He is slowly directing me what to do..I am waiting for His timing to open a bible study here at work. The instruction from the Lord was clear to me. It's all up to Him...the lecture says DON'T PUSH...JUST WAIT...and this is what I will do... which is far more easy than to take matters on my own initiative.

I know that my brothers and sisters in Christ are supporting me.. I don't get counsels from all of them. But i trust them that they will support me through their prayers. We are starting a young adult ministry and we need laborers. He will provide. He will work. all we need to do is to put our faith and trust on Him and be willing to respond to Him when we're urged to respond.

The circumstances are confirming...as God allows me to build relationship with my co-workers. We had a team building just last Sunday and God instructed me to just seize the moment. Enjoy while at the same time connecting with my new frieds...the new future soldiers and workers of God!!!!!

And I believe...and I will expect to recieve.

i Miss You Lord!!!!

After a day of recreation with my friends in Christ, I was exhausted at work. I was thinking I'm on a day shift. on how wrong I was..and I spend the rest of Monday evening doing nothing. I ask guidance from the Lord..i'm thinking about the discipleship study in work..here i go again...my faith, patience, and endurance was being tested again.

But i kneel down to Him and completely trust Him surrendering everything to Him knowing that there is no way I can do this. The past few weeks has been exhausting and tiring for me because of the change of workplace. While I was riding on a jeep, i close my eyes and took a nap..It feels like someone is offering a shoulder to me.. and I know it's Him, reminding me that I can only take a rest on His arms..I missed Him already..it seems that it's eternity that we didn't talk...a day without prayer is like hell!!!!! three days of disobedience is more than hell!!jeeeeezzzzzz!!!



I should have learned all of this! oh how I really missed Him...sooooooo much...but I know that He's just there, carrying me in His arms, listening to the beat of my heart..and I could feel His presence...there's a silence but I know it's Him...

I realized that it's only Him that I badly needed..nothing in this world can ever make me need like the way I need Him..my soul has regained strength..all I know is to cling to Him, trust that He is in control, and wait for His timing...

I know that in His time He will use me to have a discipleship study on work....

A Proclamation of Faith

God is teaching me to walk my faith...It's on my daily devotional since last night... I don't have money for dinner so i was hoping i have the strength to endure my hunger. But i wasn't discouraged. Instead, I firmly said and proclaim "God will provide!". This was my first time that I stand firm on this faith and hold on that He will provide.

We had our bible class. before I went to office, one of my sister in Christ asked me if I still have money to buy some food. I just laugh and she pulled me in a secret place and gave me money..it's more than I need! I knew it!!! God will not allow me to suffer from hunger...haha!!

And now, this is the daily devotional i received from Joel Osteen. Take a step of faith. Hand on to my faith and don't give up. This morning the Spirit lead me to the book of Ezra. The first chapter talks about foundation. It made sense. Faith in God is my foundation so I can fulfill my purpose.

God is more than just my God. He is my real father. He is putting a clear light on my path, guiding where I am heading...FAITH, I NEED TO TAKE A STEP ONE AT A TIME, AND PROCLAIM IT...

empowerment on Bible School

it's last Monday since I first attended in Bible school and our church filled almost more than half of the class.amazing! and all of us are exciting about our class. This time, it's more challenging and more worthy because we are learning more about the kingdom of God..

the course is composed of five modules about Christian Leadership Foundation. and the first module is all about experiencing God..the course was very powerful for me since this is what God wants me to start..to experience a LOVE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, not just to DO SOMETHING FOR HIM..

for the first few months of my early Christian life, I started working at ministry while I sometimes forget my relationship with the Father. I find it hard to establish an intimate relationship with Him since I don't spend more time with Him.. I know day by day He leads to this kind of relationship that He always wanted.

at least today, God allows to reveal Himself to me little by little as I grow deeper on Him..there are struggles, but I don't worry because I know that He will remind me and help me overcome it by His grace..and Im getting more excited about these future encounters with God...

d Savior's Deep Expression of Love

I was having a devotion yesterday...it happened everyday... devotion is the fire and blood of a worshipper, of a servant, of a true love of Christ...

I was inspired by the ebook i just finished reading, the prophetic worshipper..to pursue an intimate relationship with Christ...its not easy for me at the start as i need to renew my approach in devotion..but it was worth it...day by day i am getting close to him...and here is the sweetest and the most passionate message He has ever said to me:

Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.
Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot wash it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of his house for love,
it would be utterly scorned.
--Song of Songs 8:6-7

I experienced it and I couldn't contain the love that He has for me..that's how He loves us... i just savor the moment, i stayed on His arms...He was sooooooooooooo beautiful and i don't want to end it...He was soooooooo good to me...

Working Efficiently to Honor the Most High

"Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven" (Matthew 5:16, AMP)

These verse is like a punch in my face saying "Iris, wake up! Here's what you need to remember!"

I was in struggle how can I honor God because I feel am not satisfied with what I'm doing. And here comes the daily devotional from Joel Osteen (i regularly receive it). I will bring honor and glory to God if I will do good on work, if I will seek to excel in everything that I do.

Am working as a content writer. But must have to admit that the quality of my work don't seem to impress me and even others. Because I am working as an average writer! No more than that! I have to admit that I'm getting bored once in a while. But I forgot the very essence of working from the perspective of God. I came to bring honor and glory to Him by excelling on my work and doing my best.

Let me quote the explanation of Joel Osteen whihc really pound my heart....

I heard somebody say, “Your performance gives you a platform.” When you excel in what you do, that gets people’s attention. The way to gain respect, the way to gain influence is to develop your character and skills in such a way that people want what you have. They may not agree with what you believe, but when you are the best in your company, they can’t argue with that. You’ve earned their respect, not by your words, but by your spirit of excellence.

I encourage you today, don’t settle for mediocrity. You are a child of the Most High God. Make the decision today to let your light shine and bring Him glory in everything you do!

It's quite a challenge. Nd I need to start working for it right now....Am not serving the people..and i'm not pleasing my superiors..i should work with the intention of honoring God..and one of this to bring out the best quality output that i can make...
