2009 BEREAN BULLETINS
FEBRUARY 2009
The Fullness of the Blessing
"But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ" Romans 15:29
Are you living in the fullness of His blessing? God’s blessing is His supernatural empowerment. It is His favour. And we’ve all seen a measure of His blessing, but I believe there is a whole new level He wants to take you to. God has promises and opportunities in store for you that you haven’t even thought of yet! What you’ve seen in the past is only a fraction of what God wants to do in your future.
Understand that God likes to outdo Himself. He wants to open doors for you and bring out talents and abilities you didn’t even know you had. Remember, the God we serve is a God of abundance. He is the God of more than enough. Not only does He want to meet your needs, He wants to give you enough to bless other people. That’s living in the fullness of the blessing. Don’t settle where you are. Your destiny is not determined by the economy, by your past, or what anyone else thinks or says. Your destiny is determined by Almighty God. He wants you to tap into a greater measure of His Blessing and live the abundant life He has in store for you!
Father in heaven, I come before You today with an open and humble heart, ready to receive all You have for me. Teach me to live a life that is pleasing to You so that I can be an example of You love in the world around me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen

John Sung, 1901-1944 renowned Chinese evangelist…
"God will do the great work of revival, and will give me a deep yearning. When one is thirsty in the spirit, one usually looks to the sermons of a few revivalists. However, what they can give us is but a short-lived revival. It is like the water sac in a summer insect, which cannot last long. How is it going to satisfy others when we are so short of it ourselves?
Now, let us come to the source of the LIVING water, where the supply is inexhaustible. The Lord is that living spring and the Lord will turn away no one who comes forward. He will see to it that everyone is satisfied."

Let’s continue to pray unceasingly
1) For our country Malaysia that there willbe peace and stability. Good governance and integrity at all levels of the government’s administration.
2) A speedy recovery for our Sister Puspha who had met with an accident and had fractured her leg.
3) Bereanites to rise up and build on Christ and that there will be love and unity among the brothers and sisters in Christ.

Our Mission Statement
JANUARY 2009
Stir UP
"Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands" … II Timothy 1:6
Do you ever feel like you’ve "lost your fire or enthusiasm?" We all have times when we feel overwhelmed by the pressures of life, but that’s when we need to stir up what God has placed on the inside of us. Remember, there are no disadvantages with our God. You have everything you need to succeed. No weapon formed against you is ever going to prosper; you just have to stir up the gift inside. How do you stir it up? By speaking God’s truth and meditating on His word.
Start right now by simply declaring today, " I am going to see God’s favor in a greater way. New doors are going to begin to open for me. Supernatural opportunities are coming my way. God is setting up divine connections for me. I’m always at the right place at the right time. I am going to overcome every obstacle and defeat every enemy. I’m going to see every dream, every desire that God has placed in my heart come to pass in Jesus’ name!"
Father in heaven, thank you for the dreams, desires and giftings You’ve placed on the inside of me. I choose to stir up the gifts inside and declare what You say about me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
