Notations: Woodruff Church of God E-Edition August 3, 2010
When you receive this, I’m still on vacation. Just one more day and we’ll be back,
refreshed and ready to move forward. One thing that vacation does for me is give me an
opportunity to think without distractions. My mind tends to be open and I not only think
about the past but also the future. WOW! What great things the Lord has in store for us.
There’s always a mountain to climb, a hill to conquer, a
river to cross. But with God’s help, WE CAN DO
IT…..TOGETHER!!!!! I believe the future is bright and
the only thing that will hold us back is US!!!! God so longs
for us to be about His business and is ready to bless us in
doing so. We’ve just got to continue to press forward. I’m
ready! How about you?
Wednesday’s in September -
Pastor Shealy will be doing Bible Study
Sermon Series during the month of
August…… “iMoney”. What does
God have to say about our giving? Is
there a principle in God’s Word
relating to giving that goes far beyond “money”? Do you want God’s blessing in your
life? Don’t miss these Sunday messages during the month of August. This could very
well set the tone for our giving
in this new church year.
Prayer: “Father, in an age when the economy of whole nations is in peril, we ask for
provision from the table in heaven. Feed us. Care for us. Tend to your vision. Provide
for you church. We are so close to finishing our obligation to the Great Commission.
Fuel us with power that propels us forward. Fill us with the energy and want-to, to move
forward. May those among us who are so anxious to ‘go’ not be held back by lack. Open
the windows of heaven. Provide for your bride partner, your representative people
in earth, the Church!”
Daily Prayer Points:
• MONDAY - We ask you to embolden our faith to believe that you are the God who still
may rain manna from heaven for those who follow the cloud (Ex. 16:35; 78:24; Rev.
2:17).
• TUESDAY - As we act, in obedience to your commands, provide for us and our dated
mission (Gen. 22:8).
• WEDNESDAY - We want to see, in our generation, every tribe and tongue, every
people group reached in fulfillment of the Great Commission (Rev. 7:9; Mt. 24:14).
• THURSDAY - We do not ask for comfortable lives, for provisions that allow us to be
at ease in Zion. We ask for the fare to Ninevah (Jonah 3), the open door to Macedonia
(Acts 16:9-10), your favor through the fire (Isa. 43:2; Lk.
10:3).
• FRIDAY – Today, pray not only for God’s provision for yourself. Ask how you can be
God’s provision fosomeone else (Acts 4:36-37; Phil. 2:24-26).
Window on the World: Christians collectively have an annual income of $12.3 Trillion.
$213 Billion is given to Christian causes, only 1.73% of their total income. Of that $11.4
billion, 5.4% goes to missionary causes
Harvest Notes: After 70 years of oppression in the Soviet Union, Christians number 100
million - five times the number of the Communist Party at the height of its popularity, and
36% of the population. More than 15,000 public school teachers are now teaching
morals from the Bible in their classes.
Prayer Principle: “Beware in your prayers, above everything else, of limiting God, not
only by unbelief, but by fancying that you know what He can do. Expect unexpected
things ‘above all that we ask or think.’”
Andrew Murray
Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible.
Corrie ten Boom
Bible Insights: My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So
the two of them went together. Gen. 22:8.
And Abraham called the name of the place, The-LORDWill-Provide; as it is said to this
day, “In the Mount of the LORD it shall be provided.” Gen. 22:14.
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
Consider This: If America were required to provide all the missionaries needed around
the world, the force could be created with less than 0.5% of evangelicals aged 18 – 35.
If the whole world were a village of 100, 80 would live in substandard housing (67 would
live on the streets of the village, half of them illiterate), 50 would suffer from
malnutrition, 33 would not have access to clean, safe drinking water, 24 people would
not have any electricity (Of those with electricity, the vast majority would use it only for
light at night).
Action Idea: At dinner, with the whole family and perhaps friends, name God’s
blessings. Trace His hand. Ask, “Do we have all these things by our hand? Or from the
hand of God?” Share spiritual heritage stories, recall God’s provision, miraculous turns
and open doors. Teach your children to rely not on you, not on themselves, but on God!
