GOD IS AMAZING

by: Ptr. Connie Rito

It’s indescribable how God put the stars in the sky and know them by name. He is an amazing God. He is indeed amazing that we cannot fathom His love towards us. God knows everyone of us by name. He truly love and care for each one of us. It is sometimes hard to believe how God forgave all of our shortcomings and sins. God really cares and wants everyone to accept Him and His gift of salvation.

As we continue to study the word of God, we come to know that our God will never leave nor forsake us if we really believe and have faith in Him. Like what happened to one of the members in Marikina, God generously poured out His blessings and they experienced the goodness of God in their lives. This family is the host of the ongoing Bible study in that area in Marikina. As they continue to persevere and draw closer to God, they receive more abundant blessings that they didn’t even think that God would enable them to have their own company and have the chance to help other people. Moreover, through continues prayer her son was able to go abroad and have a good work there. Every time there are visitors in our Bible study, she would boldly give her testimony about how God amazingly changed their lives and how He answered their prayers. We are now holding our regular Bible study in their home at Conception, Marikina. These people are very eager to let other people know and see what we are doing that they keep on inviting their friends and persistently sharing it to their neighbors. They have shared how God worked in their family so that they too may be encouraged to join. These new believers are so eager to share their new found faith that even though there’s a space upstairs where we can quietly study the Word of God; they prefer to conduct our Bible study downstairs so that it would be visible to all people who would pass by their house. They really want other people to see that we are having Bible study as well prayer meeting in that place every Saturday. Now they are planning to buy a jeep and they said that they will use it for the coming anniversary. They are so thankful to the Lord even there are problems that come their way but they are still holding on to the promises of the Lord.

Other attendees of our Bible study are also so eager to let everyone in the group know their full stories and testimonies on how God continually and amazingly blesses them. As a matter of fact, last week, one sister gave her testimony that before they went to Bible study she felt dizzy and her head started aching. This sister is already at her 60’s but she ignored it and said that no matter what she will still go to attend the Bible study. She was still not feeling well when the Bible study began but God miraculously healed her as the Bible study was progressing. Before we end our session that day, she gave her testimony and allowed God to use her to let everyone experience God’s touch.

God is opening another door for us to have another Bible study at NGI. If we are faithfully serving the Lord He will amazingly open the windows of Heaven for us. God will surely gather the remnants and bring them back to their own pasture where they will bear fruit and increase in number. To God be the Glory and Honor.
