Sweet Victory

 

Vs 5-behold, a young lion roared against him.

 

6 -And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand:

Vs 8 -honey in the carcase of the lion –>>Honey represents Victory , Sweet , Joy , Grace

 

Judges 14

 

Transformed with Nothing in Hand to Honey ( Victory ) in hand !!!!!

Largest Chruch in the WORLD !!!!!!!!!


Dr. Cho spoke to a congregation of 1.5 million persons at Christian rally at Sao Paulo in Brazil on September 29, 1997. It was the largest congregation of Christians in the history of Protestant churches.

Prayer meeting : # of people 120,000 ( Only )


The church: Yoido Full Gospel Church, Yoido, Seoul, South Korea.
This is the numero uno church in the world, if size is anything to go by, with over 837,569 members.
Denomination: Pentecostal (Assemblies of God).
The building: It’s a gigantic building that is shaped like a huge baseball stadium.
The lighting is very bright and everything about the place is… shall we say, rather “over the top”. The service felt like a baseball game. I was seated on the extreme right and was tempted to start the wave.The neighborhood: Yoido is an island on the south side of Seoul that is similar to Manhattan in many ways. There is the National Assembly, the Financial District, Stock Exchange… a very “high powered neighborhood” to say the least.
When asked how full was the building, one gentleman reported “A sell-out crowd, bulging at the seams! I felt like I was in the back seat of a compact car with four other people squeezed in.”
When asked to describe the pre-service atmosphere, he responded, “There’s a pre- worship gospel time.
Musical instruments played: “Organ, piano, synth, guitar, drums, flute, clarinet, sax, tambourine… and a symphony orchestra.”
What kind of worship stiff-upper-lip, happy clappy, or what ??: “It was very hearty. The singing reminded me of a Wesleyan tent revival meeting. But the prayer times got very rowdy.
What’s the point? The word of God says that He (God) has placed us in the body as it pleaseth Him (I Cor 12:18). Regardless of our background and family association with a particular church or denomination, we must still seek God to find out where He specifically wants us to be. And if a church is not the one God wants you at – please don’t talk it down or impede its progress. I’m reminded of the words Jesus gave to his disciple John concerning such a situation.
Mark 9:38-41
-And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.-But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.-For he that is not against us is on our part.-For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
And a word for those that believe that some churches are just to large -
Acts 2:41Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.Acts 4:4
Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

Do We Love…………….?

A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco. “Mom and Dad, I’m coming home, but I’ve a favor to ask. I have a friend I’d like to bring home with me.” “Sure,” they replied, “we’d love to meet him.”

“There’s something you should know,” the son continued, “he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mind and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us.” “I’m sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live.” “No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us.” “Son,” said the father, “you don’t know what you’re asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us.

We have our own lives to live, and we can’t let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He’ll find a way to live on his own.” At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building, they were told. The police believed it was suicide.

The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn’t know, their son had only one arm and one leg. The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy to love those who are good-looking or fun to have around, but we don’t like people who inconvenience us or make us feel uncomfortable. We would rather stay away from people who aren’t as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are.

Enjoy Your Coffee


A group of alumni got together to visit their old university professor. The conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups – porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain-looking, some expensive, and some exquisite – telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

After all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said:

“If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, THAT is the source of your

problems and stress.”

“Be assured that the cup itself adds no real quality to the coffee. In most cases, it’s just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and then began eyeing each other’s cups.”

“Now consider this: Life is the coffee. . .and the jobs, houses, cars, things, money and position in society are the cups.
They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define nor change the quality of life we live.
Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us. God brews the coffee, not the cups . . . enjoy your coffee.”

TIME

Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400.

It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day.
What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course!
Each of us has such a bank. Its name is TIME.

Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose.

It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day’s deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against the “tomorrow.”

You must live in the present on today’s deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success! The clock is running. Make the most of today.

To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.

To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.
To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train.
To realize the value of ONE-SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an accident.

Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time.

Remember that time waits for no one. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present!

Where is GOD ?


A Legend told of a story of the beginning of everything. God united himself to hide inside his creations. God then thought of what might be the best way to do so. The angels gathered around him, “I want to hide myself in my creation.” God said to them, “I need to find a place that is not easy to be found, so that in their search, the human can first develop spiritually and wisdom.
“Why don’t you hide deep in the earth?” suggest the first angel.

God contemplate for a while then answered, “No! That is not such good idea. It would take so much time for them to know how to mine and dig up all the treasures hidden inside the earth. They’ll find me in a flash and they’d have no time to grow by then.”

“Why don’t you hide to the moon?” advised the second angel.

God thought of this idea for some moments then said, “No! It may takes them quite a little while, but it wouldn’t be long enough before they’ll figure out ways to fly to the outer space. They’ll land on the moon, explore all its secrets, and in the end would be able to find me in too short time. They’ll have not enough time yet to develop.”

The angels have ran out of idea about the good hiding place. They were silent for quite some time.”I know!”, rejoiced one of his last angel. “Why don’t you hide inside their heart? They would never thought of searching you there.”

“Truly correct!” God said. God was pleasantly happy with the idea. Since then God hides himself in the heart of each of His creation. Until the time comes for His creations to undergo their spiritual development so as to be ready to embark on their own perilous journey in their search of God, to be united as one again with the Creator once and for all.
