Jeremiah 1:5-9, NLT

Dad: “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my spokesperson/representative to the nations.”
G: Oh, Dad! I can't speak for you. I'm not capable/competent.
Dad: “Don’t say, ‘I’m not capable/competent,’ for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you. And don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and will protect you. I, the Lord, have spoken!” Then the Lord reached out and touched my mouth and said, “Look, I have put my words in your mouth!"
Let's pray.
Dear Daddy God,
You are able! You are true to your words, Dad. Help me to be the person you want me to be, Almighty Father. In Jesus' mighty name. AMEN!

A Shine of Rainbows
We just watched an inspirational film entitled, A Shine of Rainbow. Read the synopsis below.
Synopsis
Maire O’Donnell is a loving woman as rare as a double rainbow. Joyful, warm and caring, she adopts a young orphan named Tomas and whisks him off to a new home on remote Corrie Island, off the coast of Ireland. Maire shares with Tomas the joys of her island home and introduces him to the whimsical local folklore, including the secret of the seals, and teaches him that everything you need is inside of you- if you really look.
But Maire’s stern husband Alec silently disapproves of Tomas’ timidity and halting speech. He can’t hide his disappointment that Tomas isn’t the kind of child he was hoping for and his reluctance to get to know the boy makes Tomas unsure of whether he really belongs.
Soon though, Tomas too falls in love with his home, befriending local children, descending into a secret bat-filled cave, and saving a stranded baby seal.
When tragedy strikes however, Tomas is faced with his greatest challenge yet. He’ll lose everything unless he can find- and share- the unique gifts inside of him. Risking all, Tomas embarks on a perilous journey where he will need to call on his ability to see joy and color even when in the darkest place, in order to triumph and come home.
A Shine Of Rainbows is a story about the transformational power of love, about finding acceptance, discovering ourselves, and realizing that rainbows are all around us- and within us too.
In the film, I like the conversation of Tomas and her mom while they are on the boat. Tomas asked her mom, “Why did you pick me while there are lots of children that are better than me?” Her mom answered him simply, “Because I love you.” Thomas asked her again, “But you didn’t know me”. She answered, “all what I did is to watched you.”
Sometimes we all have Tomas in ourselves. We are asking God, “Why did you choose me while there are lots of people in this planet than are far better than me?” I believe God will answer us the same answer, “Because I love you.” I know that we will ask him again what Tomas asked to her Mom, “But you didn’t know me”. God will answer us, “I know everything about you. I know when you sit down and when you rise up. I am familiar with all your ways (Psalms 139:1-3). Even the hairs on your head are numbered (Matthew 10:29-31). For you were made in my image (Genesis 1:27).In me you live and move and have your being. For you are my offspring (Acts 17:28). I knew you even before you were conceived (Jeremiah 1:4-5). I choose you when I planned creation (Ephesians 1:11-12).”
Read Father’s Love Letter.
Let’s pray.
Dear Daddy God,
Almighty Father, I’m so grateful for choosing me for I know that many were called, but few were chosen. Though I’m not capable but I know that you will turn the situation around for my own advantage, you will equip me to be the person you want me to be and you are looking for availability and a heart. All glory, praises, honor and power belongs to you. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen!

Let Faith Arise Lyrics
By: Chris Tomlin
Be still, there is a healer
His love is deeper than the sea
His mercy, it is unfailing
His arms are fortress for the weak
Let faith arise
Let faith arise
I lift my hands to believe again
You are my refuge, you are my strength
As I pour our my heart
These things, I remember
You are faith, God, forever
Be still, there is a river
That flows from Calvary’s tree
A fountain for thirsty
Pure grace that washes over me
Let faith arise
Let faith arise
I lift my hands to believe again
You are my refuge, you are my strength
As I pour our my heart
These things, I remember
You are faith, God, forever
Let faith arise, let faith arise
Open my eyes, open my eyes
Let faith arise, let faith arise
Open my eyes, open my eyes
I lift my hands to believe again
You are my refuge, you are my strength
As I pour our my heart
These things, I remember
You are faith, God, forever
And I lift my hands to believe again
You are my refuge, you are my strength
As I pour our my heart
These things, I remember
You are faithful, God
You are faith, God, forever
Let faith arise
Let faith arise
Let’s pray.
Dear Daddy God,
You are faithful, You are my refuge, You are my strength, You are my healer, You are my God, forever! Father, there is nothing safer place in this world except in your arms. In you, I can be still that nothing can ever touch nor harm me. Jesus, help me to let my faith arise and to open my eyes. I love you, Dad! In Jesus’ precious name. AMEN!

Be Surprised!
Last night, our life group leader, Jeng, prepared a surprise birthday celebration for Ty and Mie. She instructed us to wait at kidz tent, wear the party hats and to light the candle when she and Mie enter the room. When Mie saw the surprise for her she was astonished and speechless.
While we are giving our tokens and words of affirmation to Mie, Ty, the other celebrant arrives at the scene. We pretend that we don’t have anything for her but of course we already have planned on how to surprise her. The plan is we will pray into partners. Jeng volunteered herself to be Ty’s prayer partner while us had our short prayers with our partners and prepared the surprise for her. We hid the cakes at the back of the chairs and when she came, we lit the candle and sing the “Happy Birthday” song. She cried because she thought that she was forgotten and we told her that her “upset is a set-up!”
Here are the captured moments…

Dear Daddy God,
Almighty Father, we thank you for your faithfulness and goodness to Ty and Mie’s lives. We pray that you will continue to transform and empower them with your Holy Spirit and that they will continue to seek and love you more. We love you, Dad. In Jesus’ name. Amen!

Waiting with CONFIDENCE!
But if we look forward to something we don't yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.
(Romans 8:25, NLT)
Every time I am praying to God for my personal life, He always answers me with these words, “wait patiently and confidently”. As He said in Isaiah 65:24, NLT, “I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!” That is the reason why He told me those words because He already answered my prayers.
Now, the only thing I know is this, His promises will come to pass in His perfect timing and my future is bright and I need shades!
Let’s pray.
Dear Daddy God,
Thank you Father for answering my (our) prayers before I call to you. Lord, give me more patience and endurance while waiting confidently for your perfect time. I love you, Dad! In Jesus’ precious name. AMEN!

The Love Offering Message
The Widow’s Offering
1 While Jesus was in the Temple, he watched the rich people dropping their gifts in the collection box. 2 Then a poor widow came by and dropped in two small coins.[a]
3 “I tell you the truth,” Jesus said, “this poor widow has given more than all the rest of them. 4 For they have given a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she has.”
Do you believe that God is not after to our offerings we give to him? How can he be after to our offerings when He has all the resouces and every good gifts we receive comes from him? God is looking into our hearts. He is looking if we are faithful to him in terms of giving because God alone is faithful to us.
That is the message I exhorted for the love offering last Sunday. Before I went to the pulpit, Rai told me to go into the middle then I told her, “can I stay to the place where Pastor Ru prayed?” But she insisted that I should go to the middle which I did. During my exhortation, my voice is trembling and I can’t hear myself due to my nervousness. Well, you can’t blame me because it’s my first time to talk in front of many people (500+) and some of them are pastors and mentors. Whew! But I told Daddy God that he is my courage, strength, confidence, understanding and wisdom. Only by His grace why I stood and spoke in front of his children.
When Pastor Anthony started his message for today. He told that God is really watching us. Why? Because the message I exhorted is the same message He is going to share with us. See, God is moving.
I believe that this love offering exhortation is also included in my harvest season. Now i’m looking forward on what God has still have for me in His store. Wiiiiiii!
Let’s pray.
Dear Daddy God,
You are my strength, my understanding, my courage, my wisdom, my confidence and my everything! Thank you father for the opportunity to exhort your message in front of your sons and daughters. Dad, continue to anoint and bless your word and your exhorters. Father, we thank you for your blessing, favor, grace, loving provision and great things you have in store for us. We pray that you may be glorifed and honored in everything we do. We love you. In Jesus’ name. Amen!

Arise and Shine, Glaiza!
Isaiah 60
1 “Arise, Glaiza (Jerusalem)! Let your light shine for all to see.
For the glory of the Lord rises to shine on you.
3 All nations will come to your light;
mighty kings will come to see your radiance.
5 Your eyes will shine,
and your heart will thrill with joy,
for merchants from around the world will come to you.
They will bring you the wealth of many lands.
15 “Though you were once despised and hated,
with no one traveling through you,
I will make you beautiful forever,
a joy to all generations.
19 “No longer will you need the sun to shine by day,
nor the moon to give its light by night,
for the Lord your God will be your everlasting light,
and your God will be your glory.
20 Your sun will never set;
your moon will not go down.
For the Lord will be your everlasting light.
Your days of mourning will come to an end.
21 All your people will be righteous.
They will possess their land forever,
for I will plant them there with my own hands
in order to bring myself glory.
22 The smallest family will become a thousand people,
and the tiniest group will become a mighty nation.
At the right time, I, the Lord, will make it happen.”
Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me,
for the Lord has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted
and to proclaim that captives will be released
and prisoners will be freed.[a]
2 He has sent me to tell those who mourn
that the time of the Lord’s favor has come,[b]
and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies.
3 To all who mourn in Israel,[c]
he will give a crown of beauty for ashes,
a joyous blessing instead of mourning,
festive praise instead of despair.
In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks
that the Lord has planted for his own glory.
6 You will be called priests of the Lord,
ministers of our God.
You will feed on the treasures of the nations
and boast in their riches.
7 Instead of shame and dishonor,
you will enjoy a double share of honor.
You will possess a double portion of prosperity in your land,
and everlasting joy will be yours.
10 I am overwhelmed with joy in the Lord my God!
For he has dressed me with the clothing of salvation
and draped me in a robe of righteousness.
I am like a bridegroom in his wedding suit
or a bride with her jewels.
11 The Sovereign Lord will show his justice to the nations of the world.
Everyone will praise him!
His righteousness will be like a garden in early spring,
with plants springing up everywhere.
God’s revelation overwhelmed me! Before, I hate crying every time I am praying and reading God’s word. Now, I’m enjoying it. I can say that my devotion is not complete if I did not shed a tear.
Let’s pray.
Dear Daddy God,
I am overwhelmed and speechless to your words, Dad! For I know you are true to your words and every promises that you made to us they are “yes” to Christ. Thank you, Dad. I love you much! In Jesus’ name. Amen!
