Fiji Islands Phone: (679) or Mobile # josephsuren@gmail.com website: Praise the Lord and Welcome to this issue of Agape Ki Awaaz (The voice of Agape). I do hope that you are going to be blessed with the contents. I believe God will do something good in your life today and throughout the rest of your life. I encourage you to read the Word of God and allow the Spirit of God to show you all the great things He has for you. God will do it but you must believe. All things are possible to him who believes Amen! Agape greetings to you in the Name that is above every name, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, the resurrected Son of the Living God. JESUS IS LORD! It is a great joy for me to share this brief message with you in this issue of Agape Ki Awaaz. Since the beginning of this year every Sunday in our morning service I have been taking a series of sermons on Looking unto Jesus when you stand in the storms of life. In this series God has blessed and gave us His in-depth to understand what to do when we face storms in life. I welcome you to come and visit our Church, Agape Revival Centre in Nadonumai Road, Lami every Sunday to join the worship and to hear powerful anointed Word of God and believe my prayers for your miracles in Jesus Name! What to do when we face the storms in life. I mean things that cause by circumstances beyond a

2 person s control: job loss, poverty, marital difficulties, pain and sickness that strikes with an incurable disease and there is no hope of recovery, criticism from friends and families, etc. It can also arise from the sense of failure or inadequacy, which could be caused even by seemingly insignificant factors in a person s life. These factors can gradually multiply into a grave problem and sadness in the person s life. Like a storm in the midnight hour that comes along in our lives. All of us face times when it s dark, stormy and when we are in the dungeon and when it seems like you cannot get out but thank God the storms of life may come but with Jesus, sunrise always gets there. You know why, every year when we celebrate Easter, it reminds us that our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ went through the painful experience of the Cross. He was despised and rejected by men. A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement for our peace was upon Him and by His stripes we are healed (Read Isaiah 53). Jesus who died on the Cross of Calvary was buried in a tomb but He rose again from the dead. He is alive! That is why storms of life may come but with Jesus, sunrise always gets there. You see, God does not send the storm on you. God does not send sorrow, trouble, heartache, pain, diseases, cancer or AIDS and etc. Great tragedies of life, great things that happen, in the home, in the office or on the highway, God doesn t send these. There is none of these in Heaven where God dwells. My God is not the author of all these. He is the God of love and He is full of compassion and mercy. He cares for you. Maybe I am talking to you right now. Maybe you are going through storms in life, through great troubles, pains or infirmities and you say there is no hope, listen that is the thing that will drive you to your knees. So you ought to drop on your knees and commit yourself to God for He is longsuffering towards you but I am telling you, those storms, those troubles, trials and testings can bring us to God and sometimes it has to be allowed in order to shake us to our foundation. We read in the book of Acts chapter 27 that Paul was in a storm over there and that storm came up and it was so bad they didn t see the sun or the stars for fourteen days. You talk about storm, that s a storm and then the Bible says, All hope that anybody would be saved, was gone. When all hope was gone and those hundreds of them in that ship would have eventually perished, then Paul looked up. When all hope is gone, look up. An angel appeared to Paul and said, Fear not Paul. You must stand before Caesar and God has given you all those on the ship. Not one will be lost. All hope was gone yet every one of them was saved. If you have a situation and all hope is gone, you can turn it around to Jesus, to where everything will turn out all right for you. You know, God never sent that storm. It was not an act of God. God invaded that storm and Paul and hundreds of them in that ship were saved. (Read the rest of that chapter). Maybe you are in a storm today. Remember the God that I serve, love and worship, never sends it but He will invade it. So let Him come in. Let Him direct it and you will find that, in the storms of life and you will be able to reach your island of needs, your dreams and find the joy of the Lord, which will become your strength. God can hear your cry. Let your storms cause you to bend your knees. Let your storms cause you to look away from man unto God. Let your storms make you realize that this World is not your home, you re just passing through. Let your storm make you realize that you are not sufficient in yourself. Our sufficiency is of God through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Turn your eyes on Christ, worship Him, He will never fall or fail. He gives life, balance, security and peace. Jesus is called the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). Always keep looking unto Jesus the author and the finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2a).

3 In closing what is God's dream for your life? You must be willing to say "I'm not going to conform to the standards of this world but will go for the glory", God s glory. Remember your roles determine your goals. Your dream starts with having a relationship with God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Do you dare to dream the dreams of God? Have you said "Yes Lord" I will serve You the rest of my life? Learn to trust God, even when we feel all is over, God is in control. God is directing us, shaping us, correcting us, protecting us, providing for us, healing us and blessings us. Are you facing a problem today? Do you have a situation where things are not working out for you, your spouses, your children and your circumstances? Let God Arise for you this year. Apply the Biblical principles and you will be able to turn each problem of your life into an amazing opportunity to see God work in and through you.
