Bless the Lord O my soul..
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ
Deo(S4M) led the group this week and he raised up a very interesting topic...HOLINESS! He asked if all those sitting there could be saints eventually... We discussed about the saint that we were most inspired by and why. Holiness is not something that is meant only for sanyasis or priests or nuns. Each of us can be a holy person and indeed we are called to be holy or 'set apart for the Lord'. In both the Old and New Testaments, we are told to be holy, even as our Heavenly Father is holy. And this holiness comes from the influence of the Holy Spirit on our thoughts, words and deeds. All things that corrupt us must be removed from our lives, however small they may be...bitterness, anger, fear, worry, frustration and so on.
The word for the day was from Ephesians 6.10-19.
Ephesians 6:13
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
We sang the action song "Who gives the faith..". Then Sherinchechi(S8R) shared her experience when she was caught during an exam because her little brother had unknowingly written something in the Clark's table she was using. She had to write all the papers again....but God turned it to be a blessing....She scored 81% for that year, because of which she passed her diploma with distinction! Truly HE works for the good of those who love Him who have been called acording to His purpose.
The talented actors from our Audio Visual ministry presented a skit on five friends who usually copy during exams and how Christ changes each of them....It was really comic but meaningful....really worth watching!!!!!! Great work AV ministry!!! We closed off with prayer...
The first week with a new core at the helm went off wonderfully....may He continue to bless JY MACE!!!!!! Do keep praying for us.
Love and prayers
