Today's Encouragement (9 September 2023)

Greetings sisters!

I hope you are strong in the Lord on this new day! I'm back sharing again as the Lord allowed me to. 

I share a favourite scripture... 

By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; 

Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 

Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. 

By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

Hebrews 11:24-27

We have many good examples of those pressing on in faith for the Lord! And that faith always led to action! Their examples are encouraging! We can imitate (follow) their faith... 

That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Hebrews 6:12

God granted me a safe trip to my new earthly home...living with a godly family in Canada. Praise God for making a way. I give Him all the glory and am very thankful for the love and support of all the saints I know! 

Inching my way across the huge Pacific Ocean... 

And I was thinking how incredibly big it is and it felt like being in a wilderness. But we know God is everywhere don't we sisters! Man really is so puny compared to our mighty God who made not only the earth but the whole universe! How can anyone be prideful about themselves when all they can do and have comes from Him! Let that not be named among us. 

For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

1 Corinthians 4:7

 

Was exciting to see the first glimpse of a new continent after 13 hours of the ocean... 

More beautiful creations God made! 

I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

Isaiah 45:12

For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.

Isaiah 45:18 

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Genesis 1:1-2

Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:

Jeremiah 32:17

Looked really pretty coming down into the clouds... 

Praise God for all His creations! 

Coming into land in my new city... 

Cities are a good place to reach lost souls. The saints I am staying with do just that as we all should in ways we can! The Lord has set us free through the gospel and now we want to give, as freely we have received! We want others to be set free and Jesus said go into the world and preach the gospel to every creature! 

Flew my gospel bag signs in the airports... 

And each of the 3 planes I flew in got a gospel card in the seat pocket... 

Maybe someone will be bored on a long flight and look up the websites and seek truth. It's a blessing to be able to have wifi on flights these days and keep connected with saints - technology that man has put together with the things God already made which we get to use for good and to further His kingdom instead of bad. 

Praise God to be with spiritual family with the opportunity to serve and love and grow in the faith in so many ways! 

The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

1 Corinthians 16:19

"The church (or better original word ekklesia) that is in their house"...that's such a blessing to have in these last days when there's so few saints scattered! 

But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

1 Timothy 3:15 

I love that and that we got told how to behave in the body. We all have our proper roles and we know God is a God of order and not of confusion. His ways always work perfectly! When things go wrong it's when people step outside of His ways. 

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

 1 Corinthians 14:33

Nice to get to my new room yesterday and find a gift of love from my sisters... 

Thank you sisters for your love and care and prayers and godly lives! So blessed to have you in my life! 

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

James 1:17

Window view in my new place...

Cute little creature God made:-)

Beautiful day in His creation for a walk to the park with my sister and the children... 

And you have to be ready to give an answer as soon as you step out the house door. Let's all have our armour on sisters! The Lord will help us! 

Well I'll go now and keep settling in here in a new place and culture and time zone. Praise God for directing our ways and let's follow after Him as dear children. 

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

Ephesians 5:1-2

Hold fast sisters saints! 

Love in Christ, 

Sister Chayil
