Ann, Richard and William in this photo. Ann is Leader of the Lakeland Team.
SOS Events Ministry Leaders in Florida have been praying for new volunteers at the Plant City Flea Market, especially Bilingual people. Yesterday, a Hispanic Pastor and his family came by to help.
This event takes place every week and our prayer is that a different team will take one week a month on Wednesdays. God answered that prayer.
The team from Lakeland, Fl will do one week. Another man and his team will take a week, and the Pastor who visited yesterday will take the third week. That leaves the week left for our regular team. God answers prayer.
Not only that blessing but 31 people accepted Jesus as their Savior yesterday. God is great!
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. John 15:7
This Bible Verse is especially for all the Leaders, Trainers and Volunteers for SOS Events Ministry. Thank you for your time and talent you give to Serve Our Savior together. You are very much appreciated.
This verse is also an encouragement to all Christian workers. Pastors, teachers and volunteers who work tirelessly to get the gospel to the people of this world.
God has promised rewards for those who work for Him. In Heaven we will lay those crowns at Jesus feet.
Let us not be weary in well doing. We will reap if we faint not.
This is an actual photo of a church in Virginia that supports SOS Events. What a great image of God’s protection in a storm.
In our lives many storms come. God is always there, protecting His children. We can trust Jesus to get us through whatever storm we may face.
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Deuteronomy 31:6
In the Bible charity means love. Definition: In a general sense, love, benevolence, good will; that disposition of heart which inclines men to think favorably of their fellow men to think favorably of their fellow men, and to do them good. In a theological sense, it includes supreme love to God, and universal good will to men.
We have focused on the fruits of the Spirit, but without love it is all meaningless. The greatest is love. Love for God, family and others.
Today, let us do something special for the people we love. Then go further and do something special for a neighbor or stranger.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: Galatians 5:22&23
Temperance is Emotional Restraint or Self-Control. Do we ever get angry and loose self-control? We have a temper and it shows.
How do we conquer bad temper? Give it all to Jesus. He wants us to be in control over our emotions.
Is it sinful to be angry? Not necessarily. What is sinful is how we control that anger. If we find ourselves getting angry, it is better to walk away than to shout, yell or worse.
The old saying I’d count to ten before you react. Good advice. Today let us decide to control our temper and give it to the Lord.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: Galatians 5:22&23
Biblical meaning of meekness: Meekness is essentially an attitude or quality of heart whereby a person is willing to accept and submit without resistance to the will and desire of someone else.
What a great definition of meekness. God’s Word tells us to be willing to have an attitude of submission. That is preferring others before ourselves.
Most of all we must have a heart that is submission to God. Allow Him to change our attitude of being right to accepting another’s desire above our own.
(That does not mean we have to be submissive in an abusive situation. If you are in a relationship that you are suffering abuse, get out, pray that God will give you wisdom and show you where to go for help)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Galatians 5:22
There is a saying that we hear quite often, “God is good all the time.” That is so true. Can others say that about you or me.
We tell our children, be good. We want them to behave, obey and choose to do the right thing.
How much more should we as Christians do good in our lives. All the time. We want the Lord to be pleased with us, as our children want us to be pleased with them.
