~LOVE WINNIPEG~

March 3, LOVE Winnipeg: Annual Meeting at Church of the Rock. It was a gathering of different churches with a common goal of lifting up the Name of Jesus Christ – not the name of any other church but HIS … the Name that is higher than any other name – JESUS! This gathering demonstrates the love of the redeemed to the MASTER – the very reason of the meeting – as we lift up the name of Jesus …ALL MEN WILL DRAW NIGH UNTO HIM!

The meeting started with dynamic Praise and Worship followed by the exhortation of the word of God taken from Jeremiah 29:7 “And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the Lord for it; for in its peace you will have peace. With the spirit of unity exhibited by the Body of Christ: “Pastors / Leaders from different churches and the love / ownership of the land / city assigned to us – for sure we did touch the “Heart of the Father!”

The intercession of God’s people were presented before the throne of God: We prayed for each individual commitment to the said event; more churches / people to commit for this year than last year (88 participating churches); spirit of innovation / creativity; finances - spirit of generosity… and more!

My utmost appreciation to all committees / organizers of LOVE Winnipeg for the free supplies for LOVE Winnipeg promotion – cds, pamphlets, booklet and even T-shirt (new – red shirt) so as the free lunch!

"WINNIPEG IS THE CENTRE-PEG" welcomes the World! With a shout of victory..."HIS Kingdom Come HIS Will Be Done In Our City ... JESUS IS LORD over our city!

Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended by the brethren

to the grace of God. And he went through Syria and Cilicia,

strengthening the churches (Acts 15:40-41).

"You have to learn the rules of the game. Then you have to play better than anyone else." ~ Dianne Feinstein

There are countless ways of attaining greatness. But any road to reaching one's maximum potential must be built on a bedrock of respect for the individual, a commitment to excellence, and a rejection of mediocrity." ~ Buck Rodgers, IBM

Choose EXCELLENCE over MEDIOCRITY and your entire world will change.

"... Well done good and faithful servant, you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of the Lord" Matthew 25:21!__________________________________________________________________________

Dear Lord, as your servant I want to hear Your word - well done good and faithful servant ... help me to do the best in everything I do - the best and the holiest service I can offer unto You! In Jesus Name...Amen!

~Friday Prayer Service~

February 27, Friday Prayer Service was sponsored by the Christian Youth for the Nations (CYN). With the participation of the Life Group Networks (LGN) - the congregations of JIL Wpg 1, Wpg 2 and Wpg SE the gathering became glorious. It was like what had happened in the book of Acts when the early church gathered together to pray in one place.

“...Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him!” Acts 12:5!

• Prayer is both a right and privilege of redeemed man. Prayer is man giving God the freedom to intervene on earth’s affair. True prayer is maintained through oneness of heart and purpose with God.
• IT IS NOT OPTIONAL. IT IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF GOD’S PURPOSES ON EARTH.
• PRAYER IS THE INVOLVEMENT OF ONE’S WHOLE SELF WITH GOD.
• Prayer pleases God...constantly with fervency - lets continue to offer Prayers to GOD for the needs of other people, church, city, family by us - the church.

and Jireh Martiniano - CYN WIN Head of WPG 2~

...exhorted the the Word of the Lord from the Book of Matthew 20:29 - 34...giving emphasis to the word of Jesus to the two blind men: "What do you want Me to do to you?"

~Friday Prayer Service
became an avenue for the people of God to cry out / pour out their hearts together in presenting an individual person who is in need of God~

"...the blind men answered the Lord, "we want our sight. Jesus has compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed HIM!" Matthew 20:33-34

Is there anything you want from the Lord...cry it out unto HIM - HE has an answer to every petition you may have today and tomorrow!

...hear from you soon -'till next time...

~Encounter Retreat~

February 21 and 22, at Camp Assiniboia, 30 minutes drive from the city-

2 days away from home for the purpose of Encountering God. It was a dramatic / live changing experience for the Encounter Participants with an objective of having a radical - visible change in their lives. Every Encounter Retreat God put a mark - HIS very signature to every participant - HIS authentication of Himself!

God has HIS way of touching people in every Encounter Retreat, though we are teaching the same topics but completely different move of the Holy Spirit - extra ordinary, unique kind of...! You have to be one of the participants for you to know / expalin it. The enemies dominion / tactics in the lives of the people came to an end - has been exposed and been dealt with. To encounter the Love of the Father is something to contemplate - really He never fail us - the very reason that we can face our selves - because of the abundant love of HIM.

What can we ask of our God - He gave HIS Son "JESUS" to give us power - to appropriate what the LORD has done on the CROSS! We are all over-comers - it is FINISHED! At the foot of the CROSS --- salvation, healing, deliverance --- everything is available ---heaven can offer!

~Encounter Speakers and the Ministering Team~

~With the Encounter Participants~

Our Father in heaven, we ask in the Name of Jesus' of Your mighty protection in the lives of each one of them - that they will remain strong in YOU and they will finish through the JIL 12 Training. Amen...

The ABC of Salvation

"For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received; that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried and that He rose again the third day according the Scriptures" (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).

___________________________________________________

Jesus died for the sinners:

• Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates HIS own love for us in this: While we were sitll sinners, Christ died for us."

Jesus is the ONLY WAY:

• John 14:6 "Jesus answered, "I am the Only Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through ME.

Jesus gave us power to become Children of God:

• John 1:12 "Yet to all who received HIM, to those who believed in HIs Name, HE gave the right to become children of God."

What Must I Do To Be Saved?

A - ccept that you are a sinner.

B - elieve that Jesus died for your sins.

C - onfess HIM as your personal Lord and Saviour.

THEN...

God's presence will go with you as HE promised with Moses (Exodus 33:14). This "presence" is "GOD IN ACTION" - doing things on your behalf. God's wisdom, guidance, strength - the Great I AM is with you!
