New Year Reflections

By The Rock Of My Salvation

At the end of every year, many people reflect on how the past 12 months of their lives went by – the changes, lessons and experiences (whether good or bad) that molded their character and made them the person they are today.

Ptr. Emerita did the same…

Without the knowledge of most people, 2008 was considered by Ptr. Emerita (and the TROMS family) to be the most painful, difficult and challenging year in the history of the ministry.

What Jesus said in John 16:33 is true… that “In this world you will have trouble….”
But God has promised, that those who love and obey Him will never be harmed…

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge;
His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.” – Psalm 91:1,4

During those times Ptr. Emerita felt weak, God was her strength…
In times of weariness God was her REST…
In times of confusion, God was her GUIDE…

Her secret… “Dwelling in the shelter of the Most High” - through prayer, worship and studying of His Word.

And in the process of going through the trials, because of God’s faithfulness, she and the ministry experienced GREAT VICTORY! For God has opened NEW DOORS of opportunity for them to share the love of the Lord Jesus Christ to more people!

2008 – THE YEAR OF NEW BEGINNINGS
By the grace of God, In 2008 – because of the storm Ptr. Emerita & the ministry experienced, she was led by God to host 3 Major Conferences that touched so many lives. Pastors, church workers, parents, young people, men and women alike were all touched by God’s gentle spirit in those meetings. Testimonies of changed lives and revived faith flooded the ministry. To God be the Glory!

Truly, God’s ways are higher than ours. There may be times when we cannot understand Him. Times when we feel like giving up…But as His children we ought to trust HIM for He knows what’s best for us. And just like Ptr. Emerita, who at one point also felt that the storm was too much to bear…but later on saw and realized that GOD has PLANNED everything!…Just like her, as you obey God, you will see that the BIG STORM in your life right now is in fact the OPEN DOOR that God wants you to enter…A door waiting for you to step in and take the new level of calling in your life.

As we start a brand new year, let us all put our TRUST and CONFIDENCE in GOD…For He has a great plan for you and me… To HIM be the PRAISE!

I will say of the LORD,
“He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” - Psalm 91:2
