God knows your faithfulness

So we must not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don't give up. Galatians 6:9 (HCSB)
If God sees all the good things that I do, then my response should be,"Don't Be Discouraged!"
Here's another benefit from God knowing everything: He sees everything you do that is good and right. Every time you choose not to sin, every time you resist temptation, every time you take a stand because of God's Truth, he sees your faithfulness to Him.
The Bible says every good deed will be rewarded, no matter how insignificant and regardless of whether anybody else on earth sees it.
Every encouragement you give to other people, every kind word you give to your children, every time you do a thoughtful act for your husband, every time you pick up around the office when it's not your job, every time you set up chairs in church or stuff bulletins, every act of courtesy, every time you refuse to gossip, every time your positive instead of negative -- God sees it all, no matter how small. (Matthew 10:40-42)
Imagine yourself on a giant stage and you're the only person on that stage. You're acting out your life. In the audience there is only one person and it's God. He's out there clapping and saying "I see that good thing you just did. Keep on going! Nobody else saw it, but I saw it."
So what should be my response? If God sees all the good things that I do and He's out there cheering me on, then my response should be, "Don't Be Discouraged!"
You may be thinking, "I've been trying to do the right thing in my marriage. I don't see any results. I've been trying to be the right kind of person and respond correctly with my kids or to my parents. I've been trying to do the right thing at work or at school. And I don't know if it's paying off. I don't see it making any difference in anybody's life."
God says, "I see it and it doesn't matter who else sees it."
Nothing good we ever do is ever done in vain: "So we must not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don't give up." (Galatians 6:9, HCSB)

Culto do dia 13/06/09

Foto da nossa última reunião. Em pé: Fabiana, Cate, Ariane, Ruth, Wilker, Valdir, Cairo e Guido.

Agachados: Fred, Bruno e Flávio. No sofá dormindo: O pequeno Nicholas! Essa reunião foi maravihosa. Oramos, intercedemos, pedimos, clamamos, confessamos os nossos pecados e agradecemos as bençãos! Glória a Deus!

Oremos!

“Orem no Espírito em todas as ocasiões, com toda oração e súplica; estejam atentos e perseverem na oração por todos os santos. Orem também por mim, para que, quando eu falar, seja-me dada a mensagem a fim de que, destemidamente, torne conhecido o mistério do evangelho” (Ef 6.18-19)

Temos muito que agradecer e louvar a Deus por tudo o que nos tem dado. De forma especial, ore conosco:

1. Pelos contatos prévios e reuniões que tivemos em Londres visando uma futura parceria de trabalho missionário com a Igreja Evangélica Presbiteriana da Inglaterra e Gales;
2. Pela vida do irmão Wilker, recém-chegado a Londres, afilhado do nosso irmão membro Valdir. Pedimos a Deus que abra as portas de emprego, de estudo, e use o irmão para ser benção nessa terra;
3. Pela vida do Guido, Vanessa e Nicholas, oremos pedindo que o Senhor fortaleça essa família que espera no Senhor se ficarão em Londres ou se retornam ao Brasil;
4. Por nossa congragação, que tem crescido em paz, tem sido igreja dizimista, e tem demonstrado cooperação para com o evangelho de Cristo;
5. Pela documentação de cidadania italiana da família do Valdir, oremos para que o processo tenha evolução e pedimos ao Senhor que responda no tempo D'Ele.
6. Pela saúde das irmãs: Eunice 2ª IP de Uberlandia, Cristina (IP de Torrelodones/Espanha).

Oremos agradecidos:

1. Pela porta de emprego que o Senhor abriu ao Cairo, que está trabalhando como courier em uma das melhores empresas de Londres;
2. Pela Conferência Missionária realizada na Igreja Presbiteriana Central de Uberlândia MG, intitulada: "A Ti virão todas as nações". Louvamos a Deus pela Conferencia que foi realizada no último final de semana (05,06 e 07 de Junho). Louvamos a Deus por essa conferência que trouxe um "despertar missionário" aos que participaram, inclusive através da transmissão ao vivo pela internet, pelo site da IPCUdia www.ipcudi.org.br ;
3. Pela vida e ministério do irmão Rev. Ronaldo Lidório, preletor da mesma Conferência. Oremos gratos por Deus ter usado o seu servo novamente para a Glória D'Ele.

PLANEJAMENTO

Por Fabiana Gomide

Provérbios 4:25‐27

“Os teus olhos olhem direito, e as tuas pálpebras, diretamente diante de ti. Pondera a vereda de teus pés, e todos os teus caminhos sejam retos. Não declines nem para a direita nem para a esquerda; retira o teu pé do mal”

Em outra versao biblica, a leitura é a seguinte:

“Olhe sempre para a frente, mantenha o olhar fixo no que está adiante de você. Veja bem por onde anda, e os seus passos serão seguros. Não se desvie nem para a direita nem para a esquerda; afaste o seus pés da maldade.”


Esses elementos são:

1) Olhe “para frente” ‐ selecione seu alvo. Enxergue longe; como é que você quer o seu
posicionamento no futuro?

2) Mantenha o foco; o “olhar fixo” – Concentre‐se nos seus objetivos;

3) Veja “por onde anda” – pondere os caminhos; tome pé de sua situação atual; avalie as
finanças e recursos; nunca gaste ou invista mais do que a renda, ou a capacidade de
captação; faça o orçamento prévio e reja‐se rigidamente por ele; faça uma revisão de suas
práticas, se elas consomem mais do que entra; Lc 14: 28-29

4) Dê “passos seguros” ‐ caminhe pelo percurso firmemente rumo ao alvo;

5) Não se desvie – Não permita que os atalhos, as coisas que não são essenciais, ou aquelas
que são atraentes; o tirem do rumo correto;

6) Afaste‐se da maldade ‐ mantenha um caminhar ético; que agrada a Deus; preserve sua
reputação e o testemunho de sua vida.

Lembre-se:

Jesus está dormindo na popa, longe do leme, e nos pediu para levá‐lo no barco até o outro lado do mar. Devemos usar nossas habilidades e nos concentrar em manejar a âncora, as velas, o leme... Enfim, tudo que é administrável e Jesus espera que o façamos. Mas nós não podemos administrar o vento e o mar.Durante a tempestade, devemos confiar em Cristo para controlar o incontrolável, mas antes e depois administraremos aquilo que pode ser administrado e assim chegaremos ao objetivo.

Pergunta de Edificação:

O que você gostaria de planejar para Glória de Deus (aspecto espiritual) e para seu crescimento (planos pessoal, financeiro e profissional) para as proximas semanas, meses?
