JCSGO led by Bishop Jonathan and Senior Pastor Vicky Sebastian led their delegation of about 200 pastors and leaders coming from the different localities and chapters.  The Central Families were able to send 135 pastors and leaders to the 2-day conference.  Bishop Jonathan and Pastor Vicky was also one of the local speakers during the event.

Speakers from the G12 International families include Pastors Rich and Melissa Witmer, Pastor Johnny Tousset, Bishop Flynn and Carolyn Johnson.  Meanwhile, Bishop Oriel rallied more than 3,000 delegates to do the Conquest of souls this 2010 and encouraged the churches to embark in this endeavor so that the nations will be reached for Christ.

After the conference, Pastor Vicky immediately mobilized the primary networks to prepare JCSGO for total mobilization starting with chains of prayer and fasting and series of equipping. It is their heart to contribute huge success for the evangelization of the Philippines and to expand God kingdom in every barangay and different marketplaces.

The good news is we can cultivate wisdom at any stage of our lives.  However, it’s better if we start digging for it even when we were still young.  The book of Proverbs is considered as the book of wisdom.  We can read and meditate on its timeless verses and develop wisdom down to the core. Let’s encourage children and teenagers to discover “Proverbs”.  They will greatly benefit from it.  Proverbs 5:1 says, “My son pay attention to my wisdom; lend your ear to my understanding, that you may preserve discretion and your lips may keep knowledge.”

We can read the Bible and absorb wisdom from its authors.  What’s more, this is free of charge!  Nowadays, “corporate training materials” about leadership and attitude cost a lot of money.  If we exercise our wisdom, we don’t need to spend that much.  How about opening and reading your bible today?  It will spell health to your soul and body and transform you into a “better you”.

Till then, God bless you richly!

After the 3rd wave of the Conquest Season, the Central church harvested a total of 425 new disciples including 70 from the 6am Family, 33 from the 8am family, 235 from the 1030 family and 88 from the 3pm family. The challenge of consolidating these precious souls is currently being worked out by every cell leaders who have integrated each harvest to their cells. The primary task of caring for these new disciples lies in the consistent follow ups of each cells.

MAKE YOUR WAY PROSPEROUS
By: JONATHAN C. SEBASTIAN

Joshua 1:7-8 “Only be strong and very courageous, THAT YOU MAY OBSERVE TO DO according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded you, do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, THAT YOU PROSPER wherever you go.  This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you SHALL MEDITATE on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then YOU WILL MAKE YOUR WAY PROSPEROUS and then you will have good success.”

If we want to prosper wherever we go, the word of God is very clear. We must be strong and very courageous to OBSERVE TO DO according to ALL THE LAW. We must NOT turn from it to the right hand or to the left in order for us to experience prosperity. This is the discipline we should seriously adopt in order to really make it happen. We should always remember and apply HIS WORDS at all times in all situations. As we do this we will surely prosper wherever we go.

Meditating on the WORD OF GOD–day and night, will certainly help guide us in the conduct of our lives. And as we continually do this,  God will show us the right path to prosperity and good success. It is His delight to see the prosperity of His servants (Psalm 35:27).  One of it is making His words a significant substance of our whole being. As we face challenges and problems in life, His words has power to heal and deliver even in the area of our finances.

There is  a well of wealth and prosperity in the Bible.  It tells us that the gold and the silver is the Lord’s(Haggai 2:8) and that God made us His heirs—in fact, joint heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17). The wealth deposits of the earth are intended for those who dare to believe God in every aspect of their lives.

Obedience to the word of God should not be selective. The bible tells us that the key to our receiving is in our giving. Luke 6:38 NLT, “Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full–pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.”

Therefore in any way we want to receive, we must determine our ways of giving.  Our offerings and tithing or the giving of the 10th of what we have should never be an issue of  the amount but of our obedience to the Word of God. Psalm 37 devotes its passages to the life of one who trust in the Lord and DO what the Lord says.  It affirms that those who obey Him  is assured of an inheritance forever (verse 22).

This congress aims to encourage, refresh, equip and direct the youth and young adults in various market places to pursue the purposes of God in their lives.

There’s a song rendered by Basil Valdez which became very popular some two decades ago.  It speaks of burden or heavy load.  This song became my prayer then but lately the tune rings in my ears so i’m singing it once again.

It’s always a relief to sing a prayer from one’s heart.  We can have burden or heaviness in the course of this life but the good news is that we can release it to the Lord by prayer.  The bible defines burden like a load carried by men or animals; it can also be a responsibility; cares of life; bondages or oracles of judgment.

The moment we feel heavy with problems or with a situation that is beyond our control, always remember the invitation of our Lord Jesus Christ: “Come to me all of you who are heavy with burden and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28

Right now even as you read this blog, there may be burden in your heart: unresolved conflict with your employer; unclosed relationships which bring pain to your heart; betrayals; frustrations and fear….  Come, the Lord is saying to you…and He will give you rest. “Cast thy burden upon the Lord and He shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” Ps.55:22

Now let me pray for you. Lord bless this someone. Touch his/her heart. Let them know you care. In Jesus name, Amen.

Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you.

Pastor Vicky
