MINISTRY OF EMPOWERMENT 2021 THANK YOU, VOLUNTEERS

Volunteers do not necessarily have the time: They just have the heart (Elizabeth Andrew)

Thank you to all the Ministry of Empowerment Board Members and volunteers that have served over the past year and years.

Without your dedication and commitment, we would not have been able to achieve as much as we have.

Wishing you, our members, and supporters for your participation and contributions during 2021 to the Ministry of Empowerment.

Met volunteers from the Empower2Engage – Afternoon Tea sessions.

Empower2Enage, funded by Croydon LVP, volunteers offer support to both women and men over the age of 55yrs  who would otherwise remain isolated in the community in which they live due to the social and life barriers.

WOMEN’S MINISTRY PROJECT 2021 December Morning Glory – ‘Hearing from God’

Reference from Got Questions.org.

Samuel heard the voice of God but did not recognize it until he was instructed by Eli (1 Samuel 3:1–10). Gideon had a physical revelation from God, and he still doubted what he had heard to the point of asking for a sign, not once, but three times (Judges 6:17–22,36–40).

When we are listening for God’s voice, how can we know that He is the one speaking?

First of all, we have something that Gideon and Samuel did not. We have the complete Bible, the inspired Word of God, to read, study, and meditate on. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16–17).

When we have a question about a certain topic or decision in our lives, we should see what the Bible has to say about it. God will never lead us contrary to what He has taught in His Word (Titus 1:2).

My Sheep knows my voice

Although we didn’t delve deep using the story of Samuel or Gideon, one of the guests remarked how she valued listening to individuals as they shared personal testimonies. It became a reality to her that it is possible and that people today are still able to hear the voice of the Lord. Amen.

It’s amazing how the testimonies represented the Word of God in its fullness.

Once we are His sheep and led by The Shepherd, we know His voice. There is no doubt, a stranger voice we do not hear.

As His sheep, let’s continue to live a Godly lifestyle that is led by the Shepherd that when He speaks we will not only listen but trust and obey.

Do we really know that He speaks to us in different ways?

Either way, when God speaks He gives:

  • Direction
  • Revelation
  • Comfort
  • Assurance

Words of encouragement from Sis Angelica

  • Don’t be frighten or intimated by the powerful sounds, authoritative tones, visual realities of destructive forces etc..
  • Stay focused and be still when things are ‘topsy turvy, discombobulated, out of the norm, treacherous, overwhelming, dangerous, out-of-control etc …
  • Just be still this is not the doings of God. Though powerful it seems, it is fake power Stay calm. Only God is Almighty
    • Know the voice of God. Learn to differentiate between Evil powers and Holy powers.

    God told Elijah to get up because the journey is great and needs to be completed😳 🤷🏼‍♀️.
