Taking Journey with God (A2 Prayer Assembly) By Sis. Shobe Dayahan

“In our life, it’s either you are a pilot or a passenger, it’s your choice - unknown”

I’m Shobe Dayahan, a passenger of my life. Since I was young I never imagined myself in front of many people, talking or doing a speech. It’s indeed one of my fears yet unbelieved by many because of my jolly personality. I remember dreaming about joining different groups like YFC, SFC, etc. which serves God however the fear of talking and sharing my life stories was a big hindrance for me to believe in myself.  I'm not confident enough and wondered if I can stand as one like them. 

It all started when I was young - taking life by chance and never thinking about the consequences. People make mistakes, feel unworthy, hurt someone and be hurt, thus are the struggles in life and it’s normal. I never dreamt of anything about myself or about my families, I just go wherever life takes me but all of a sudden there are lots of question in my mind "Am I good enough? Am I worthy? Will someone believe me? What I am doing? I am still on track?"

Nobody is perfect but I’m afraid to be judged by others, isn’t it ironic? I envy people who can stand on their own and talk about anything that goes in their mind until SFC came into my life.

It happened in June 2017 when I was invited for an SFC event.  I just thought about the friends and community I can be with. It is fun, no dull moments and I can hear different stories but I never thought that the group can guide me to Him.  I know myself that I’m still on track in my faith however the community gave me a different meaning with every time I spent with them. As I move forward with the community and by God’s grace I was able to answer the question lingering on my mind, one by one. 

My faith in God grew even stronger and I am very thankful with all the support of my family, friends and the community I’m with now. I can say that I am a pilot of my life now and to the young people who will read this article, any trial and failure you might encounter, you always have to believe in yourself, trust and never be afraid to ask for help.

It is difficult to steer life, you must have plans and strong mind to move forward in your goal or destination. Be brave enough to face the challenges, know your strengths and weaknesses and always take a good and positive attitude. Let God be your guide during the ups and downs of your life. It’s okay to cry but remember that every day is a gift of life and you can choose if you will be a passenger or a pilot of your day. 

This contention above was even proven during our Chapter Prayer Assembly last August 17, 2017 when we were all welcomed once again through our gathering entitled “HOME” taking us via the “SFC Airlines” to catch up our life’s journey. And finally, I am home!

God is good all the time. May He be praised!

My CLP Experience Christian Life Program: Unbox Your Faith By Bro Joseph Fruto

“A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stamp, a god-shaped life is a flourishing tree”  -Proverbs 11:28   We are in the world where people give so much avidness to wealth, technology, trend, etc. At some point we forget to nourish our spiritual need. That is to live life with love, humility and gratitude. It may sound impossible to put into action but yes, it is possible with a great faith to God we can outshine the good and surmount the greatest challenge of being Christian and live life with meaning. Before I was invited to join the Christian Life Program (CLP), I know that there is God and I believe in Him. From a family that doesn’t religiously go to church we don’t see it as a duty of being a Christian. So long I don’t do detrimental things I am therefore a good Christian. At the age of 21 I tried my luck abroad, I worked in Saudi hoping to speed up my career and help my family. Being away was a struggle and homesickness was the enemy I fought each and every

Pray Over Workshop By Sis. Maricar Mandani

In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.-Romans 8:26-27 How do we pray and how do we pray for others effectively? Most of us would like to pray for others, but to be honest we don't know how and what to pray. We are often filled with good intentions but without enough knowledge to utter, we tend to use the same phrases over and over or we fall into patterns, or sometimes we simply are not good in expressing with words. As part of our preparation for our CLP Talk 9- Receiving the power of the Holy Spirit- the much awaited session for every CLP. We had a PRAY OVER WORKSHOP, held last August 15, 2017. The teaching was led by Tita Lourdes, here we experienced and practiced a pray over session. Learned how to
