Theme for the monthWhen One Door Closes, God Will Always Open Another One for Me

Partnership letter

Thankfulness!

From the desk of Pastor Sing

Greetings to you in the Precious Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am truly thankful to God for the wonderful Testimonies and Miracles that are being reported from both our local and international Audience. My prayer is that God will continue to cause His Grace to flow and touch the lives of our Friends and Partners.

This month I would like to share with you on the subject of: ‘Thankfulness!’ Let us look at the following scripture: “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15:57)

I know at times that this may be the hardest word for anybody to accept. When people are being challenged there is a normal tendency for them to be disillusioned. However, the Bible is teaching us to be ‘Thankful’ in the midst of every challenge in life. Thank God for Victory in every situation. It is normal reaction when we experience Great Difficulties and Suffer loses to immediately stop sowing finances into the Kingdom of God.

However, you must resist every temptation to do so. When you are challenged or suffer any loss, you can plant a seed of an equal Benefit and it will wipe out the loss.

The only way to handle your losses is to plant a seed of Faith. Now here are some things that you must take note of:

Don’t get so down on your losses that you forget to give thanks to God.
Do not forget that God is your Source.
Do not forget, you can plant New Seed for New Victories, and in all the Newly planted seed, God will wipe that loss out!
You must believe it, know it, and stake your life on it. This Principle will always work.
Be very thankful to God this month.

Psalm 26:7 “That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.”
Psalm 50:14 “Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High”
Philippians 4:6 “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”

Then finally in this month I want you to meditate on the following theme: ‘WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES, GOD WILL ALWAYS OPEN ANOTHER ONE FOR ME’

Say It, Eat It, Sleep It, Believe It and it will work for you.

I know that this message has blessed you. Expect Great Miracles this Month. In fact, Expect a Miracle each and every day. May God continue to richly bless you and your family. I pray for you daily and take pleasure to see God shower you with Supernatural Favor.

We Love You very Much,Pastor’s Roshan and Zubeda Sing

Power Principles for Giving No. 2
“And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. 42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. 43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: 44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.” Mark 12:41-44

Power Principles for Giving No.2 (Part 2)
“Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything--all she had to live on.” Mark 12:41-44
This teaching is now continued. The difference between her small offering and the offering of the rich was that she gave of everything. It cost her 100 % commitment. This story of the poor…
