Have you Ever Seen Any Difference in your life…?

‘Then you shall again discern between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him’ Malachi 3.18

How would you feel after paying faithfully all your bills including electric, gas, water, and when you get home after a hard day of work you find no electricity or water? Would this be a reason to rejoice? Would you simply keep quiet and let it go? Which reaction would you manifest before a situation like this? Would you call the electric company to complain or you would wait for them to come to your house and fix it?

How about to buy a cell phone, pay for a line service but whenever you want to make a phone call there’s no connection or there’s always a break down on your line in such a way that you cannot have any conversation, would you keep on paying that particular company for the same service?

Those who work hard day and night, no holiday, no vacation, no day off just to save money to send it to their families in other cities or countries for them to spend according to their own pleasure and needs? While they who work hard and are faithful to God are not able to enjoy a penny of the money they make!

We read in the verse above God promised to make the difference between those who serve Him and those who don’t serve Him, but how can this difference happen? What really needs to be done? Should those who are unbelievers stop prospering so that those who serve God start being successful? Definitely not!

What really needs to be done is that, those who serve God by being faithful and obedient to the point of giving back to Him the 10^% of all they make to take a stand against their financial situation and demand from God what was promised by Him! God made this promise thousands of years ago when He challenged us to test Him saying, “And try me now in this, Says the Lord of hosts” Malachi 3.10

Once you accepted the challenge and give to Him 10% of all the money you make then you consequently have rights to enter His Holy presence and demand the abundant life promised in the Bible.

Has the windows of heaven been opened up for you? Has your room been filled with blessing to the top? Maybe you have seen your neighbor or relative who had never been to church enjoying these blessings.

How many times have they mocked you saying “Where is your God”? How long have you followed Christ but there’s no sign of victory in your life and you still depend on someone else?

There’s only one way to stop this curse and make the difference in your life; the way is to demand from God the fulfillment of what He promised in His Word.

This Sunday, August 2^nd you’ve got the world best chance to make this difference!

You are not supposed to keep quiet before your problems, as faithful servants to God you have rights to make the difference in your life!

Bishop Carlos E Da Costa

Where is The Difference?

There must be a difference between the righteous and the wicked. If there’s no difference between them then, why to be righteous?

If there’s a similarity in the quality of life between the righteous and the wicked, then, there’s injustice. The worst type of injustice that can exist is the equality

We are not worried with the prosperity of the wicked ones, even if they are the most prosperous ones, but if we serve a Living God, then there must be a difference.

God stimulates those who serve Him to demand from Him their rights when He said, ‘Bring all the tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, AND TRY ME NOW IN THIS, says the Lord of hosts, Malachi 3.10

And talking about demand, then this is with us!!!

God bless you abundantly!

The Bent Over Woman

SATURDAY, JULY 25, 2009

A Bent Over Woman

"And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up. But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, 'Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity'. Luke 13.11

This verse expresses very clear how much the Lord Jesus wants to bless those who are suffering, right after he saw the woman He called to her immediately to Him and healed her instantly, He didn't ask for her name or where she came from He didn't inquire about her family, her language or her profession because He doesn't care about these details, maybe miracles haven't taken place in your life because you are too much worried about small things, maybe worry about others are going to say about you or your qualification or perhaps you think you need to have more time in the church for Him to bless you or think you need Bible more times during the week and so on! Of course, all these things are important but God doesn't depend on them for Him to perform a miracle in your life, He just needs to know if you do believe He can do great things in your life, once you show Him that you truly believe then, this is more than enough for you to receive a miracle in your life.

On August 09th at 11am we will have a Day of Miracle for those of you who do believe that this can happen to you. Right after you finish reading this message you need to start preparing yourself for this event in which you got a chance to put your faith into action and straight up what is bent over in your life.

By coming to church and taking part of the services you will have more about this meeting or you call us at 1 888 793 6411

Catch us the Foxes

WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 2009

Catch us the Foxes

There's a story of a man who had a little fox in his backyard, very elegant and quiet fox. This man had a neighbor whose backyard was big with different fruit trees and among all those trees there was a big and attractive sweet vine tree filled with delicious grapes and every morning the little fox approached the fence to see those grapes very close and the more she looked the more she desired to eat them all.

One day that neighbor decided to travel for 10 days and after he departed then the little fox saw her great dream becoming a reality, finally she had her best moment of satisfying her endless desire of eating those grapes. Early in the morning that little fox crossed the fence through a small hole in it and happily started eating grapes one after the other and as she eats she also grew up faster and faster.

After ten days the neighbor came back from his trip, when the little fox heard him coming she decided to run back home through the same hole she had passed ten days before, what a surprise! The little fox was not able to pass through that hole anymore, do you know why? She ate so many grapes that became big and the hole was small for her. End of story: When the angry man saw her he just killed her right there!

Which lesson can we take from it? Problems start very small in our life, it comes sometimes through a single word we hear, or small thought in which at first doesn't hurt at all but every small thing today, will become big tomorrow, if we don't cast it out and destroy it right away in the beginning, later on it'll be too late. check your heart and your mind out, and see if there's any little fox hidden in them, if you find it then, you should kill it right away, otherwise, it will destroy your vineyard by eating and devouring the most sweet things you have in life.

'Catch us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vines, for our vines have tender grapes.' Song of Solomon 2.15

May God bless you!

Financial Service

Dream Big

Hi there! I just want to share with you part of what we preached today in our financial service. We spoke principally about the importance of not being influenced by the circumstances around us which many times can put us down and blind us in such way that we end up berrying our dreams. How many people carry inside of them a poor thought saying that they were born in poor families and grew up also in poor communities and then, they have to be poor until they die? To be poor today it doesn't mean you have to be poor until you die, you have the right to change your life and become a big person.

Every success depends on the type of thought we have in mind, our attitudes just reflex what is inside of us, it doesn't matter what our eyes see or what our ears hear about because our success comes from inside to outside.

Monday July the 27th we'll be keep on talking about this issue which we do believe will help you.

Bishop Carlos Da Costa
