Teamwork Works~

Psalm 133:1-3

A Chinese Proverbs states, “Behind an able man there are always other able men!”

When you include everyone on your team, everyone always wins... It's always easier to work with people instead of against them. When you see the world as one team and invest your time looking for ways where you can each be beneficial to the other, progress and co-operation can be made with a mutual benefit for everyone. These benefits spread out like ripples on a pond each time you add a member to your team who makes a new contribution. This is true whether you're an employee, supervisor, owner, subcontractor or the president and cleanup crew of a one-person company.

Tips on How to Strengthen / Improve Your Leadership: (TQ Training)

• A team sport where each player can make a valuable contribution to the whole."No one can do it all. No one knows it all.
• Lead by example and inspire others. “To be an inspirational leader, you must first be inspired by and absolutely committed "
• Enthusiastically look for other people to help complete the project(s). There are many talented people who are ready, willing and able to contribute to your goals and projects!”
• Delegate as much as possible and communicate your expectations clearly."Delegation done poorly is worse than doing everything yourself.
• Prepare for and participate in meetings to ensure they produce maximum results. A meeting can either be valuable and highly productive or a complete waste of time
• Do whatever you can to make it easier for others to help you."It's your responsibility to make it as easy -- and as fun as possible -- for others to help you!

President Lyndon Johnson said, “There are no problems we cannot solve together, and very few that we can solve by ourselves!”

~...such a time as this...~ Esther 4:4
_______________________________________________

Every Thursday 6 pm to Friday 6 pm (sundown to sundown) JIL Canada Pastors and for those who can make it can join us to pray and fast for 24 hours. JILC is a Praying Church and Warrior-Intercessors Network is one of the Strategies of JIL Canada. Prayer should be the first in priority with fasting ... present our special requests to God ... to clear our minds / bodies of all hungers ... except our "HUNGER for GOD!" In a very difficult situation Esther, asked Mordecai and the Jews in Shushan to pray and fast for three (3) days and nights and even her maids to join them. To intercede for Esther's interview with the King. We need spiritual discipline that will deepen our "COMMUNION with GOD!" ...to plug in to the SOURCE... WHO can supply everything that we need!

Esther received a news from her uncle Mordecai about the plot to destroy all the Jews in Persia. As queen of Persia, Esther had many privileges but running to the King wasn't a good idea. If the King wasn't pleased to see her ... her life would be in danger. In moment like this - the decision has to be made. She is going to take a risk to see the King with / without an invitation. To reveal to the King the news she received and her identify a - JEW!

God uses people to bring about HIS purposes and Queen Esther was one of them - to save HIS people from annihilation (Esther 4:4 "...for such a time like this...!"

Each one of us has a special place / position in the Kingdom of the Living God and tasks that needs to be fulfilled to HIM in HIS plan. You are that special - where you are and who you are - for just "such a time as this..."

God chose you...You are the one God wants to use:

You are the best person for the job in your workplace;

You are the best parents for your children;

You are the best leader / worker for the church;

Simply ... you are the one ... God put you there!

God's best are yet to come...lets give the best to God...~

JIL MB CYN ... IN - ACTION... went to MISSIONFEST MANITOBA~Article was written by Tin2 Estabillo - CYN Head / Wpg 1

On February 6, 2009, Christian Youth for the Nations (WPG) supported the MISSIONFEST MANITOBA. The event was held at Immanuel Pentecostal Church. It was called the ‘Friday night youth and young adult experience’ and was joined by different youth groups across the province. The night opened with a lively praise and worship lead by a Spanish worship team called, six5one. the night was also participated by different bible schools and Christian universities encouraging the young people to get themselves involved in inner-city missions and even international ones. the night was completed by an inspiring message delivered by George Verwer of World Missions Advocate who challenged and ministered to the youth about making themselves available and answering to the ultimate calling in Isaiah 6:8, “whom shall I send?”. The night was well attended by crowding young people and was ended by another inspiring worship lead by Juno Award winner, Amanda Falk who sang her very own compositions.

February 7, 2009. REAL LOVE.. when does it begins?

This year for the first time ever, CYN hosted a LOVE, COURTSHIP and MARRIAGE seminar that would encourage the young audience on how to date. This valentines special event took place at the Jesus is Lord Church and was well supported by both young and adults in the church. The seminar was conducted by Pastora Mary Juarana who taught about LOVE and asked the youth the very intriguing question of , “am I in love?”. Followed by Rene Estabillo who spoke about Courtship and Pastor George dela Rosa who concluded the seminar talking about marriage. The topic became more interesting as the youth raised up questions during the open forum. The event ended with an eating fellowship sponsored by the CMTs and some of the parents. This first time event marks another of CYN Winnipeg’s history accomplishment as they work hand in hand to bring the youth together and learn about Christian Darting.

Inspirational Reading from the Book of 1 Samuel 18

~Friends Loves At All Times~ Proverbs 17:17
______________________________________________

The friendship of David and Jonathan demonstrated a deep and lasting-loving relationship - knit together kind of friendship... they loved each other!

What makes their friendship so unique? Both young and strong, gifted - warriors. Jonathan acknowledged David as God's leader of choice, though he was heir to the throne of Israel. Instead of holding to his own royal rights - he led the way for his friend - in submission to the authority. In humility ... with the demonstration of great character of a friend that needs to be followed and imitated. 1 Samuel 18:4 "And Jonathan took off the robe that was on him and gave it to David with his armor, even to his sword and his bow and his belt." He gave up / surrendered his own rights as heir to the throne and defended his friend David. It requires sacrifice and hard work - taking it seriously to develop this kind of friendship like Jonathan and David - to love each other 'till the end (1 Samuel 20:17).

Friendship needs to be developed, nourished and are precious - doesn't just happen! Work at it ... being a friend! Making new friends but keep the old ones. What makes your friendship special? Can you remember of the most defining moment - that you have shared with your friend? Let it be known to her / him ... that you treasure your friendship very much! Friends loves at all times - in sorrow and joy ... standing by her/his side always! Thank - You - My Friend !

Lord, YOU are a faithful friend to me! Help me to be a blessing to my friend(s) at all times...to be available to extend help to them!

Inspirational Reading from the Book of 1 Samuel Chapter 1

Be A Promise Keeper ... not A Promise Breaker~

______________________________________________________________
It begins with prayer: When Hannah had prayed and cried out before God to open her womb and give her a son, and made a promise that son would be dedicated to the LORD “all the days of his life – forevermore! 1 Samuel 1:11 “She made a special promise to God and said, "Lord All-Powerful, you can see how sad I am. Remember me. Don't forget me. If you will give me a son, I will give him to you. He will be yours his whole life, and as a Nazirite, he will not drink wine or strong drink, and no one will ever cut his hair."Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version.

She kept baby Samuel close to her and spent quality time at home teaching him the things that he will never forget (Pro. 22:6). Hannah knew that time will come to fulfill what she had promised to God – she knew how difficult it would be keeping that promise – but she needs to do it. She kept her promise and delivered Samuel to the house of the LORD (1 Samuel 1:26-28).

In the world there is this saying: Promises are meant to be broken but in God meant to be kept – just as God has kept every promise made to us. God wants us to fulfill every promise we made before HIM and to everyone: Be a promise keeper ... not a promise breaker!
