1 Sam.28:16, 18

"Samuel said, 'Why do you consult me, now that the Lord has turned away from you and become your enemy? .... Because you did not obey the Lord...the Lord has done this to you today.'"

Saul was so desperate for advice that he bade a spirit medium call up Samuel from the dead. But Samuel reminded Saul that it was his own disobedience, not lack of advice, that had caused God to reject him. Remember that Saul's catastrophic disobedience had seemed to him to be merely incomplete obedience. God has also given us certain commands, and Christ's last command was the Great Commission. Many Christian leaders today are reaffirming the scriptural truth that unless we who are spiritually and materially blessed are more completely obedient in reaching the unreached peoples, God may take His hand of blessing from us, just as He did from Saul.
Forgive us, Lord, and give us joy as we learn to obey Your commands completely. source: global-prayer-digest.org <-- GO HERE EVERYDAY!!

The Widow�s Mite



Are you grateful for Calvary? Do you look at the cross with tears in your eyes? Then show God your gratitude. Give Him the "widow's mite" of your evangelistic witness. The incident of the poor widow giving her last two coins to God shows us that only the gift that costs, counts. God knows what it costs you to stand up for the Gospel. Perhaps for you to give a tract to an unsaved person may be equivalent (on a "courage level") to some other Christian standing up and preaching in the open air. Don't let fear stop you. You can do it. Don't listen to your fears. Say, "If God is for me, nothing can be against me. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Then do it. Civil law is still on our side-you'll not be thrown to the lions. Let the devil eat dust. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.

Ever thank-FULL for you & pray our partnership in the Gospel will continue to be blessed as He uses us ALL to accomplish His purposes!










awesome lyrics -! May we keep running after the Saviour who keeps running after us!
Running After Me - Ben Glover
1. Here I am again | Oh the same old-fashioned sin | And the same old-fashioned shame | I�m as dirty as the rug | In a darkened alley pub | And I am sick and tired of this old-fashioned game | Will I ever truly understand? | I can hide but you know where I am | And you pursue my heart before I ever get | Too far away from you

CHORUS:
And I�ve come so close | But you�ve come so close | And I�ve fought so hard | But you grab me and you pull me back again | And I�ve run away | But you keep on running after me | Running after me

Should I keep falling down? | And make friends with the ground? | And the mud that�s on my face | Do I like my disarray | And the way my edges fray | As I disregard this discomfort and dismay | Will I truly ever understand? | I�m not always the seeker in you plan | �Cause you pursued my heart before I ever Started chasing after you
CHORUS:

Chase me down and capture all I am | �Cause I�m fighting off the will to wander again
Be my retreat, my sweet release, my remedy CHORUS:

[John] (Bougainville)
:D the encounter with the gospel, me & brother Dave as he was walking thru the mall the night before he retuned home!

:D He�s my Papa, I�m His child - nothing�s going to change that. Ever! (Rom 8:38-39) :D He turns my weaknesses into His opportunities!
:D revealing afresh startling facets of His incredible grace & unfathomable love towards His children!
:D He sees my every sin yet chooses to look on me with love & watches me rise again!
:D stripping me of things to rely on in myself that I�d rely on Him more fully!
* I�d Let Jesus be INSEPARABLE from me! * I�d Let Jesus CONSUME you!
* He�d change me at any cost to become what His Word says I ought to be!
* reveal to me what I�m still depending on the world of people and things and circumstances for instead of God
* help me commit my spirit into His hands, I receiving what He wishes to give me in this life & what He doesn't wish to give me, I don't want.
* help me depend on Him utterly, Father
* help me I turn away from this world of people and things and circumstances for anything that I need and I look to Him
* I�ll let Christ live His life through me as me!
*make me other-worldly, heavenly-minded & rejoicing in the goodness of the One who rejoice to do me good with al His heart & soul! (Jer 42:31)
* make me less & less dependent on myself & more & more dependent on Him!
* keep me focussed on the glory of the Son! * help me give Him all I am & all I have! * give me a true hunger & thirst after righteousness!
* give me a hearing ear and a receptive heart! * my life would exalt Christ as the centre & focus of all things!
* help me become a Person of the Cross, experiencing the Death of the Lord that I may have the Life of the Lord.
* help me follow His instruction and allow Him to become my ONLY Desire!

1 Sam. 12:23
"Far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you..."
We know that we should pray. We know that we should pray for others as well as for ourselves. And when we fail to pray, we recognize the lack of God's blessings. But how often do we consider Samuel's point-that prayerlessness is a sin against God Himself? The living God invites us to commune with Him; to disregard His invitation is an affront to His goodness. The purpose of the Global Prayer Digest is to encourage one million Christians to pray daily for those thousands of peoples walled off from the good news of life in Christ Jesus.
Savior, teach us to pray.
