Go Tampa! Go Tampa! :p It was a boring Superbowl game, even the ads were boring :(... but at least Tampa Bay won! Wooohoooo!! hehe... :p

How are you all doing? Happy that Tampa Bay won? Disappointed at Oakland Raiders’ loss? However you are feeling, hope you are all doing well.

It has been a while since I posted here, but for those days that I haven’t been posting, I learned a lot! I want to share with y’all what I learned. Last Thursday, the Bible Study series was about the Prayer of Jabez. Here’s the verse:

1 Chronicles 4:9,10

Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, "I gave birth to him in pain." Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request.

The series was already started the previous Thursday, and I missed it. The first topic was about, Bless Me. The second, which was last Thursday, was Enlarge My Territory.

God really wants to bless His children, enlarge their territory, and to equip them for the mission, which is to bring more people to Christ.

What is My Territory? It is where God has placed me to make an impact for Him!

Matthew 5:16 says…

In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

What do I do to claim my God-given territory?

1. Take that step. A thousand miles starts from the first step.
2. Entrust God your small territory. Like the feeding of 4,000 men, it started from 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes.
3. Give God a large vessel. 2 Kings 4, the widow collected as many bottles as she can have so the prophet of the Lord could fill them with oil.
4. You’ve got to have Passion for God!
5. Let God increase in your life! John 3:30… He must increase, but I must decrease.


Pretty good message, huh? Let us be reminded of it. God wants to expand our horizon, our territory!

By the way, yesterday, I was listening to a local Christian station, FM 88.1. I was so moved by the testimonies, yes it was a testimony time, so I called, shared my testimony as well about how I came to know Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior. I was nervous, it was my first time to be on air, but God told me that I wouldn't know how many lives can be impacted if I make that call so I did. Praise God!

Hey, I took another quiz!

I got a lot more to share. Will write again. God Bless You, Indeed!
