so..this week's praise report!!
Ee Foo speaks….
I had received a wedding invitation from a friend. Besides being invited to the wedding, I was asked to be the emcee for the day. I agreed upon request. After agreeing to be the emcee, I realized I do not have any nice clothes to wear for the wedding.

So I prayed that the Lord will provide me with the clothings. Two months ago, a brother from church told me that he was gonna give me some clothes. Initially, after he told me that, after a while,I didn’t receive anything, I thought well..maybe there wasn’t any clothes for me.

Just a week or so ago, this brother came to me. I was blessed with 5 shirts and a pants. And all 5 shirts and pants fitted me to a T. It was as if those shirts and pants were made for me. The clothes were made of top quality silk and and each shirt would have cost at least $150, but they were given to me and it was just amazing how God planned everything.

God provides not just a shelter and food for us, even the clothes that we wear. He is our Jehovah Jireh. Praise the Lord!

Prayer Pointers- as it’s 4th week of the month, it’s open prayers!!Pray as the spirit leads!
So..here’s an article to bless and encourage you!


An Open Door
I remember once watching a flurry of secret activity going back and forth between the President and Vice President in my old company. My office was at the end of a hallway where I could see both of their doors. They kept going into each other's office and closing the door for hours on end. Something was up but I didn't know what and I was SO curious. I would have liked to be a fly on the wall inside that office.

As I stared at the closed door I felt the Lord spoke to me. I was an "outsider" in the plans of these two executives and I could only become an "insider" through their invitation. The Lord seemed to say that his office door - his throne room, was set up a different way. Anyone could come into his inner circle who wanted to. The key to his door was having a desire to press in. Working your way up not important; job titles irrelevant; knowing the right people unnecessary: he would let ANYONE in who truly wanted to be there.

Just think about sitting around in God's throne room listening to his plans and strategies and watching the inner workings of all of creation. Think about being right there when he says; "I need someone for an assignment" and your hand flies up first. Jesus made this possible when he removed the barrier between us and the Father. Hebrews 4:16 say; "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace."

YOU control how closely you sit to the Father's throne. You don't have to wish to be a fly on his heavenly wall. You are not an outsider unless you choose to be. See the sign on his door: "WELCOME, Please Come In."

This week's bout getting to know God more!!! ;)

Here's this week's PRAISE REPORT!

Shu min speaks….
I was contemplating whether or not to send in a praise report,but when joanna msn-ed me this morning asking if i had any, I knew it was a confirmation, so here I am!

I'm currently working full-time and studying part-time, so I don't have much time to study. But when I started this course for my degree, I constantly remembered God's love for me and since I’m His beloved, He sure want me to do well one what, right? I seldom worried (but I did get mad at crap proj mates teehee) and i almost always had that calm assurance in my heart that God will see me thru, regardless of whether I’ve been an obedient daughter to Him.

I've been studying for about 1.5 years now. I have a good sister-in-Christ in my course, and before every exam, we have a ritual of sorts. While other classmates are doing last minute cramming, we pray and thank God for seeing us through. And then we take a picture :) haha.

Out of 5 of the 6 modules taken so far, I’ve been scoring distinctions and many will know Shumin isn't a distinction kinda girl except with Jesus. For my last module, News Studies, I didn't really attend class regularly (which is bad, very bad!!) and the lecturer was smart. He gave exam tips thru-out those classes, and when I attended the last lecture (everyone knows exam tips are given out during last lecture that's why attendance is almost always full), he said with a smirk "For those of you who've been attending, you know the topics that are going to appear in the exam. Good luck!" :\ so I studied blindly for the exam, just hoping for at least a pass. But I told God, You've always seen me through. Continue to see me through in my academics so that my results will bring glory to who You are. and tadah
a Distinction in News Studies which is impossible by my efforts, but an act of love from my Jesus.

i think the point is knowing that you are so loved and adored by the King. What blessings would He withold? None. We just need to accept His love.


and this week's PRAYER POINTERS

QUOTE of the WEEK: Prayer is our BECOMING 1 with God

Finally!!!MosEs SPEAKS!haha...be encouraged!!

*Not I but Christ.


*The more one learns the more one becomes convince its all about Christ. We sing the song,"Its all about Jesus ... " and we know it. But do we believe it?

I did badly for my exams, *I* should have studied harder. *I* should not have slacked off. *I* should have paid more attention in class.

Feeling unloved? Why do *I* not have a more pleasant character that attracts people? Why am *I* not better looking? Why do *I* not have talents? Why am *I *not born in that family?

Did something stupid? Why did *I* let circumstances force me into it? Why did *It* have to happen? How will *People* see me now?

Where is Christ in all these? With the *I *and the *It *and the *People *one cannot help but cry out. One cannot help but feel like a loser. These things conspire to bring us down. The devil's tactics are always the same in this regard. To bring you into destruction all he needs to do is to point you to yourself, circumstances and people and you will naturally take over destroying yourself through condemnation. And this is what the Law of Moses did, it condemned all as none could match up - 2 Cor. 3:9. The devil has a legal right to use the Law of Moses against you if you forgot what victory Christ has given us on the cross. Everything that points to self will lead to disappointment and loss. It is inevitable in this fallen world. So even positive thinking without Christ will disappoint.

However when we look to Christ in all circumstances we raise above our situations. It is such that all who looks to the cross becomes empowered to confront the goliaths in our lives. Do not try to practice the fruits of the Spirit, learn from the teachings of the Holy Spirit in you that points to Christ and the natural process is the bearing of the fruits of the Spirit. Do not discipline yourself to love, joy, peace. patience .... dwell in Christ and he who walks with him will become like him.

I mentioned the tactics of the devil for self-destruction is to point you to self. Conversely for the building up of the believer into powerful Christians the Holy Spirit points you to Christ. Working harder to score better marks, dressing up to look better is good but without Jesus things of the flesh will not last. We can keep trying to use self-effort and keep going in circles till the world wears us down.

Children of the Most High God, know that you are more then conquerors. Be different from the people of this world. We are the salt of the earth, we should not decay with the world but we should preserve the world. We should not go bland with the world but we give it the saltiness. Where people see doom in the situation see Christ at work for he is always at work in you. And in Christ the outcome can only be victory. Maybe not now, but all things orcharstrate to give the big grand victory in the end.

The devil is fervent in wanting to show you, You. The Holy Spirit is fervent in pointing you to Christ. That is why we must heed the Holy Spirit's voice. That is why we must fight to always put the Christ where we put the *I*. As Peter looked to Jesus and walked on water, likewise should our focus be. Not more methods or materials but more of Jesus in everything. This is the way to a victorious lifestyle.

Praise Report!

Estella speaks….

These past few months have been a very trying period for me. I felt like I was being attacked from all sides. My schoolwork was stressful and I felt bogged down by the load of it. I faced difficulty in relationships as I felt like friends who were dear to me were drifting away. I struggled even in ministry as I tried to find answers as to where God wanted me to be. All in all I felt like life had become a constant battle and I grew weary and discouraged.

Amazingly, as I look back now, I see God working in my life in many ways. He spoke to me through songs that suddenly popped into my mind out of nowhere. He encouraged me through sermons and messages about suffering and pain. He sent friends to counsel me and pray for me. He assured me that though life was tough, He was with me and His hand would always uphold me.

Though I have yet to resolve many of these issues, I approach everything with a better attitude. I am not perfect and sometimes I still grumble about how miserable I am. But I know that He is ever-faithful and He won’t love me any less. I look with hope to the day when God grants me the answers I seek and I can bring you yet another praise report.

************* I’m sure God has been good to you too, so.. SEND your praise reports to Joanna@book-cave.com **************

Matthew Speaks...
It was the day before Deepavali. I was with my parents at Vivocity and I could feel my body start to feel chilly and it start to ache all over. I knew I was getting sick. Getting sick on a public holiday is not good news. So I was gonna fight it! I said when I get home, I'll take my Bible out to read and pray for myself to be healed!

I arrived home, had dinner, obeyed my mom to eat 2 paracetamols and 4 VitC tablets, had my bath and took out my bible to read. I just began to read the passage aloud and though it had nothing to do with healing, the words seem to renew my spirit. I continued to read aloud beyond the allotted passage and received the 'words of life' into my spirit. Then, I laid hands on my head by faith and prayed for God to heal me. I rebuked any spirit of infirmity or sickness and received God's healing for me by faith. And began to thank God for healing me before I saw any result.

My God is a Healer! That night, I perspired like never before. My whole bed was wet but I woke up fresh and full of the Holy Spirit! My mom did say that my forehead still felt warm but I felt like something was sustaining me on the inside, giving me strength to go through the day. Thank God! There is power in the name of Jesus!

***I’m sure God has been good to you too, so.. SEND your praise reports to Joanna@book-cave.com ***

The church exists for the generation that is lost. The Lord's last command should be the church's first priority.

* Pray for a great harvest of souls and good follow up.
Do you not say, 'Four months more and then the harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. Jn 4:35

* Pray for everyone to be a carrier of God's presence.
Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple. 1Cor 3:16-17

* Pray for the gospel to be presented in such a way that it will reach the people. (Bro Kimsan)
