MAKE YOUR NAME KNOWN IN HEAVEN.

*WITHIN SCRIPTURE.* 

*Acts:10.1* 
 At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. .2 He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly. .3 One day at about three in the afternoon he had a vision. He distinctly saw an angel of God, who came to him and said, "Cornelius!".4 Cornelius stared at him in fear. "What is it, Lord?" he asked. The angel answered, "Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God.

 Many times many christians drag their christian life according to the influence before them. They go for fellowship if they are in position to. They give if they're prompted to. They read the word if they think they have taken long. They carry on their ministry gifts if they are under pressure by their leaders.

Cornelius was not supervised by any one to do what he thought was right. Yet he did that util God remembered him for that. They were just two things....prayer and gifts to the poor.
We chase after doing alot of things yet turn out to be ineffective and at worst give up so quickly. God has not given you many gifts. The bible says some were given this and others that. It is very easy to give up if you are chasing after accomplishing many goals. Cornelius had two.

The Lord looks at the products we have in the spirit. He is counting results and measuring rewards. The rewards depend on how best you have done what you're given to do.....not how much you have done. Because you might do much but ineffectively and without zeal.

To gain the lord's favor, do your best at what you can do in Christedom . Do it continuously without faint...do it with character. Let your values lead as you walk with christ; like cornelius,christ will remember you when you are falling.

HOLD IT

SUNDAY SERVICE  SERMON:                           HOLD IT   INTRO :  It is easy to go through life and feel embarrassed. And because of such embarrassment, it also easy to feel like throwing out something to compensate for your bad feelings. You feel you should throw out a word at someone, you feel you should throw off the relationship, you feel you should throw off the patience.  There is something that happens behind the scene that we never know about. And if we knew it, we would understand the power of holding it to our selves.   PROB : The problem we have is that we want to seek for compensation in short times, for revenge within no times...and never want to hold reactions for long.   PURP :  To enable us hold our emotions and anxieties in a world of intolerance.       >>> Christ was a man who faced a lot of persecution. He was always sought for by his enemies. They wanted him dead at all cost. Reaching a point of shamelessly paying one of his disciple to bet

THE GREAT BLISS

THE GREAT BLISS Isaiah 42:9  See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.” -------------------------------------------- When there is something God is yet to do, He has to get tools within you to accomplish it. And one tool to use in you is the mind you got. God cannot accomplish great things when the mind and heart are stuck in former things...in former years. Before He made Mary have the great son He had to make her forget the former things and focus on the new things. When the Bible clearly says that God has a good plan for us and it assures us that God has no harmful plan for us; this means that what could be holding us back is not up to God!. He has the good plan already. But the nature of our minds may be holding onto the former and never letting it go. Because of the pains you had in the last year, you still revise that and experience pains again.  But there is something new. The Lord has tol
