Something Good is Going to Happen to you

From the desk of Pastor Sing

Greetings to you in the Wonderful Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am very excited and thankful to God for the many Testimonies and Miracles that are being reported from both our Local & International Audience.

I thank you, as my partners for your commitment, support and financial contributions to this ministry. This not only helps run the local church, but a large amount of funds are expended on Television, Radio and International Audiences.

All the lives and souls that are touched and won for Jesus now abounds to your account. My prayer is that God will continue to cause His Grace to flow and Touch your lives in a special way. You are God’s Precious Gift to this Ministry.

This month I would like to share with you on the subject of: Something Good is Going to Happen to you.

Ephesians 3:20 “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us”

Mark 2:27 “And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath”

Anybody can dwell on his/her problems until they get so low that the devil can take advantage over them. But Faith in God changes your perspective. An attitude of ‘Expecting something Good to happen to you’ will not only make your day, but will Revolutionize your life. Looking to God as your source, brings the mountain moving, problem solving, need-supplying Power of God into your life. Let us now consider the following Points:

Our Miracles only begin when we have ceased from being Negative and start being positive.
Regardless of how much Power God has, your miracle begins at the Point you begin to co-operate with Him.
With each and every day, expect something good to happen to you.
Begin to change all negative thoughts and attitudes to pleasant ones, in order to expect something good to happen.
Jesus pointed out that man is more important than any religious day. He said that everyday is made for man, including the Sabbath. So begin to mediate on this:

Everyday is a Holy Day.
Everyday is a day in which to enjoy life.
Everyday is a day to worship God.
Everyday is a day in which you are the centre of His love.
Everyday He is concerned about the details of the existence, even numbering the hairs on your head. (Math 10:30)

So as you go through this month, remind yourself that, ‘Something Good is going to happen to me’. I trust that this message has blessed you. Expect something good to happen to you this month. May God continue to richly bless you and your family. I pray for you daily and take pleasure in seeing God shower you with supernatural favor and blessings.

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

By Faith, Not by Sight
“(For we walk by faith, not by sight)” 2 Corinthians 5:7

“Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?” John 11:39-40

The Prayer of Faith
“17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. 5:18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.” James 5:17-18
Prayer prayed with God-given Faith is irresistible. Sometimes a word spoken in Prayer becomes the channel for the Gift of Faith. In James 5:15, we are told that “The Prayer of Faith shall save…

Faith in Little Things
“10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. 16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true [riches]?” Luke 16:10-11
