A REMARKABLE TRANSFORMATION

Personal Testimony of Cherry Wee

I would like to share to you how the Lord has changed my life. Just the thought of it makes me feel blessed and humbled as I reflect about my past. I made a lot of mistakes in the past. It was not an easy life. I experienced a lot of bitterness, anger and pain along the way, but in spite of these things, I can testify that God was there to completely forgive me. And that is what he did. He has changed my life for the better. And not only my life; but my husband as well. It was a remarkable transformation. I give all the glory to Christ.

It all started when my husband and I got married in January 13, 1974. For ten long years, we started life together living with my in-laws in the Philippines. And I tell you; it was not easy. What made matters worse was that it was a huge family. We were living in a big two-story house with all my other relatives and cousins staying together. And you could imagine the clashes and the conflicts that would arise when there is even a slight misunderstanding. Many times, I would just simply go into my room, cry and pour out my heart in tears until I could cry no more.

But living in one house with a big family is not just my main problem. The source of my heartaches at that time was my workaholic husband. With due respect to my husband, whom God has already changed, before you could not believe that he was very rude, temperamental, irritable and very moody. I believe that the worse a person was in the past, the greater the grace and the power of God being manifested in that person’s life. And that is quite true to my husband.

My husband was a good provider. He managed well our family business. We were engaged in wholesale and retail. He handled a lot of people. But this brought about much stress and anxiety in his life. Consequently, he became irritable and temperamental. When something would go wrong, he would easily get upset and yell at me in front of everybody. I would cry again and pour out my heart in tears.

This kept on until we finally moved to Manila in 1984 where we started our own business there in the hardware and construction. I thought he would change with the new environment, but he didn’t. In fact, he was getting worse. There were times when we had our “Silent war”. He would not talk to me for days. Again, my pains and hurts were enhanced further. But during these times, I was learning to call upon God to help me. I had a silent prayer for God to restore and heal our relationship.

My prayer was answered in 1993 when we joined a seminar for couples. It was a great experience for both of us. We heard testimonies from different couples on how their relationships were restored. We were not alone in our struggle after all. There were others who were experiencing the same things. But I learned a lot personally. I must not react negatively to his outburst. I must not keep blaming him for our situation. I now realized that I could only change my husband by first making some changes in my own life. I learned humility. We were greatly challenged. We decided that from then on, in order for our marriage to work, both of us had to work hard for it. This we did until the Lord brought us here in the United States.

It was here in the United States that I realized the over-all purpose and plan that God has for us in starting a brand new life for the better. We were introduced to a church that shares the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ. It was through their ministry that my husband and I gave our hearts to Jesus as our Lord and Savior. I can clearly remember that day last August 19, 2001 when we were finally baptized with water and with the Holy Spirit.

From then on, I was never the same. My whole life changed. There was a great transformation in my character. Even my husband was transformed by the Lord as well. He became a loving and God fearing man. His temperament changed. At the same time, my faith in my heart for Christ was being nurtured slowly. We realized that with ourselves we can not do much to restore our relationship, but now that God is involved in our family, He could do even better and greater.

I remembered the Scriptures in Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, ‘declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a hope and a future.”

I now realized that God’s desire for me is for my ultimate good and to give us a great future here. Since then, God has healed the pain in my heart. He has given us a brand new life. Our bad times have been turned into joy. I now give thanks to God even for the trials that I face each day for He is transforming me still.

If he had done that to me, He could do the same for you. Give your heart to Jesus. Make Him the Lord of your life and your marriage. He will do great things in your life such as you have never experienced before. Amen.

THE APPLE OF GOD'S EYES

“In a desert land he found him, in a barren and howling waste, He shielded him and cared for him; he guarded him as the apple of his eyes.” Deut. 32:10 (NIV)
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill.
In a room full of people, he asked, "Who would like this nice $20 bill?"
Hands started going up. The speaker said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this..." He then proceeded to crumple the $20 dollar bill up.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.
"Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped the money on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty, and asked... "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, you've all learned a very valuable lesson of life. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it, because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. The same is true about people."
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel we are worthless and become depressed. But, no matter what has happened to you in the past, or what will ever happen in the future, you will never lose your value in God's eyes.
To Him, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless. Even after a great hurricane has come and gone, we are still loved of God. Our text says that God will care and guard us as the apple of His eyes. The eye is the most tender and useful part of the human body. It means that God has a singular care and diligence for all of us.
The worth of our lives comes not in what we do, nor who we are... but by WHOSE WE ARE!
You are very special because you are a child of God. You have been chosen. You have a mandate to bear fruit. You are greatly loved. Therefore, rejoice in these truths.
Don't ever forget that!

DISCOVER YOUR SPIRITUAL GIFTS

DISCOVER YOUR SPIRITUAL GIFTS


A spiritual gift is a special ability, given by the Holy Spirit to every believer to be used to minister to others and therefore build up the body of Christ. We may have more than one gift. These gifts are different from natural talents. Our primary ministry commitment will be in the area where we are gifted.

There are many ways to discover our spiritual gifts. One of these is through the self-assessment inventory wherein you go through sixty questions and you circle the number that corresponds with the response that most closely matches how you perceive yourself.

Then you score yourself by going through a list of spiritual gifts. The strongest gift(s) will have a total score of “7” or more. Sometimes, we have more than one gift with a total of seven or more. Then, all of these gifts can be referred to as our “gift cluster.”

We had a special class last week (September 24) attended by several people with the aim of discovering our spiritual gifts. And do you know what the result was?

Here it is: Cherry: “Hospitality” (Primary gift); “giving, faith, mercy” (secondary gifts); “music, vocal, service, leadership” (Tertiary gifts). Jesse: Hospitality (Primary gifts); “faith, mercy, intercession” (secondary gifts); “Music, vocal, service, leadership” (Tertiary gifts); Jet: “Knowledge” (Primary gift); “writing, administration, artistry”; (secondary gifts); “Faith, giving, exhortation” (Tertiary gifts). Gino “Artistry” (Primary gift): “Faith, knowledge, giving” (secondary gifts); “writing, evangelism, service” (Tertiary gifts).

What about you? What are your spiritual gifts? Are you fulfilled in your mission in life as you serve God through your ministry? Maybe it is time for you to discover your gifts as well.

OVERCOMING DEPRESSSION

OVERCOMING DEPRESSSION

“And Jesus answered, "Why are you afraid? You have so little FAITH!" Then he stood up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly all was calm.” Matt. 8:26 (New Living Translation)

In order for us to overcome depression, we must put our faith in Christ. He is the only one who could heal us. Here are several suggestions how to do that:

RENEW YOUR MIND. You must control the thoughts that pass in your mind. Whenever you sense that bouts of depression are slowly coming in, beware. You must learn to renew your mind. Screen those thoughts carefully. Then, reject thoughts that will make you depressed. Do not even give even a foot-hold to them. Do not give in to them. Resist them. Throw them out. Discard them. Get rid of them. Throw them away. Stand firm in your faith. Then, you will begin to sleep better. You will begin to eat well. Your mind will become stable. Your interest in your daily activities of life will return. Your mind has been renewed. Faith can grow again.

Ephesians 4:24 (NLT) – “Instead, there must be a spiritual RENEWAL of your thoughts and attitudes.”

RESTORE YOUR FAITH. Once you have rejected those evil, thoughts, it is time to put in good thoughts. It is time to restore your faith in God. You must then read the Word of God. Enjoy His word as you read. Memorize God’s word. Meditate on the verses that you have memorized. Put God’s word in your heart and mind. Then, spend more time with God in prayer. Cast all your cares upon Him. Be thankful to him. Rejoice in your salvation. This will give vitality to your tired body. This will give new interest to your thirsty spirit. Then, I assure you that you will be able to overcome depression by your faith in Christ. That is the only way to win the war. That is the only treatment to cure depression.

Acts 3:20 (NLT) – “Then wonderful times of REFRESHMENT will come from the presence of the Lord…”

It is God who gives us the victory through faith in Christ alone.

JESUS GIVES MEANING TO OUR LIVES

JESUS GIVES MEANING TO OUR LIVES

John 15:1 (Message); 6"You didn't choose me, remember; I chose you, and put you in the world to bear fruit, fruit that won't spoil. As fruit bearers, whatever you ask the Father in relation to me, he gives you.”
I am personally persuaded that only FAITH IN JESUS can greatly complement any effort to overcome depression. It is though a growing faith in Jesus alone that we can be over comers.

There are several things that we can learn from this particular verse alone:

WE HAVE BEEN CHOSEN. “You didn’t choose me, remember; I chose you.” He chose us. God looked at our frailties and had pity upon us. Then, out of the people in the world, God has selected us and set us apart for a purpose. We are now His. We belong to Him. We have been invited to have a special relationship with Him. We have been endued with much power from on high. We have been placed in the ministry. We could no longer live an idle life. Because we have been put into commission. We have a special work to do for God. We have been given a great trust from God. We have been called his ambassadors. We have been given much honor. Therefore, we must not be weary in doing good. We must be diligent in our work. Because we are stewards of His great Kingdom. Remember: You and I have been chosen by God. Praise God! Just the thought of it will eliminate any glimpse of depression. There is no reason for us to be depressed.

WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN A MANDATE. “And put you in the world to bear fruit.” – Our work is to bear fruit. This is our mandate. This is our calling. People who are not bearing fruit can easily lose sight of the goal and become depressed. But those who have great faith are fruitful. They can easily overcome depression. In addition, our fruit honors God. This fruit is a manifestation of true Christianity. We must exemplify the purity and the power of the true religion that we profess. The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness and self-control. (Gal. 5:22-23) With fruits like these, there is no room for feelings of hopelessness and depression. There is great glory that we will receive just by being fruitful. This is our mandate. We must be fruitful.

WE ARE SIGNIFICANT. – “Fruit that won’t spoil” The fruit that we bear will not spoil. Our work will not be in vain. It will last for eternity. We will have a long lasting contribution on earth. The good labors of our work will continue in the world from generation to generation, to the end of time. Think of the people that you will bring to a personal relationship with Christ. Think of the influence that they can do to their families and friends as well. Think of the eternal legacy that you can leave. We are significant. We are important. Again, there is no reason for us to be depressed anymore.

2 Peter 3:18 (NLT) – “But grow in the SPECIAL favor and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”

WE ARE GREATLY LOVED – “Whatever you ask the father in relation to me, he gives you.” Once we bear our fruit, the Father will then give us everything that we ask. This is a good sign that we are greatly love of the Father. It is a good feeling to know that we have a God that we can go to and ask whatever we need. Then, the promise is that he will grant it to us. Awesome! We have a blank check in heaven ready for us to fill it up by faith. Many people have not been using their blank check. They don’t believe in this promise. They do not have faith at all! No wonder they are easily depressed. But for us, it’s different. We This great promise will greatly keep us comfortable in His love thereby destroying all forms of depression from our lives.

Daniel 10:11 (NLT) – “And the man said to me, ‘O Daniel, GREATLY LOVED of God, listen carefully to what I have to say to you. Stand up for I have been sent to you…” More next time.

CAUSES OF DEPRESSION

CAUSES OF DEPRESSION

Deut. 1:21(New American Standard Bible) “'See, the LORD your God has placed the land before you; go up, take possession, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has spoken to you. Do not fear or be DISMAYED.”

We must be able to understand what depression is before we can defeat it in our lives. Why do people experience depression? What are its causes?

ILLNESS. It might be because of your physical illnesses that you have experienced depression in your life. Physical Illness such as strokes, some cancers, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, hormonal disorders can bring about depression in our lives if we are not careful. When a person is ill, his body is weak and his mind is affected. When his mind is idle, he tends to think pessimistic thoughts of life and feels helpless in his situation. Illness is a good breeding ground for depression. That is why you must occupy your mind with thoughts of strength and faith when you are sick.

DRUGS. In addition, some medications that you take can cause depressive symptoms as side effects. For instance, certain drugs used to treat high blood pressure and arthritis had proven to cause depressive moods to patients. Be careful with the medication that you take. If you don’t really need it, don’t take.

FAMILY HISTORY. Even your genetic make up or your family history had been discovered to be one of the causes of depression. It is possible for depression to run in the family line. Your father is often depressed, you might inherit the same emotional make-up. Our genetic make-up can have a great impact in our history of illness including depression. Some people probably have a biological make-up that makes them particularly vulnerable. That is why if you have developed great faith in God, chances are your children will inherit the same faith as well.

LOW SELF-ESTEEM. Certain personality traits such as people with low self-esteem or low self-confidence are prone to depression. When they tend to be very dependent on others, they seem to be vulnerable to depression. This is heightened when the people that they depend on are gone.

CRISIS OF LIFE. Other causes of depression can be attributed to crisis of life, such as the death of a loved one. Also, divorce can be a cause of depression especially for children. Even moving to a new place can be a big strain on people with children again severely affected. Even money problems or any sort of loss of cherished properties can be linked to depression. The event in the hurricane Katrina has left many lives devastated and depressed which they will carry for years ahead. Crisis of life is one of the major causes of depression.

These are some of the causes of depression. There might be many more that we have not identified here. Knowledge of these things can be very helpful to prepare ourselves and be ready to fight to overcome depression when it attacks us. Remember: to be well informed is to be well prepared. Also, to be well informed is to be able to fight this effectively. More next issue.

SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION

SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION

“A cheerful heart is a good medicine but a downcast spirit dries up the bones.” Prov. 17:22 – New Revised Standard

In order for us to fight depression in our lives, we must be able to understand its symptoms. These are some of the symptoms of depression in people.

EMOTIONAL INSTABILITY. You can know whether a person is depressed when there is a constant and recurring feeling of hopelessness. There is a picture of pessimism. There is much guilt. There is a feeling of worthlessness, even a sense of helplessness. They are restless and irritable. They have difficulty in concentrating or remembering and making decisions. There might even be a recurring aches and pains in the body that don't respond to treatment.

LACK OF INTEREST. A person who is depressed can easily loss his or her interest or pleasure in ordinary activities, including sex for those who are married.

SLEEPING HABITS. Even their sleeping habits will be affected. Many times, he cannot sleep well. Or in most cases, he will experience early-morning awakening, or sometimes, there are those who would tend to oversleep when they are depressed.

APPETITES. Some people when depressed have good appetite and gain weight easily. You wouldn’t know that they are depressed by the looks of them. They look fine outwardly but not from within. Food is their outlet. Others when depressed can’t eat at all. Hence, they lose weight easily.

TIREDNESS. Most experience considerable decrease in energy. They grow tired easily. They tend to "slow down" their activities. There are even thoughts of death or suicide attempts.

Watch out for these symptoms for the enemy is lurking behind wanting to destroy you physically and your future. But before we will talk about the good news on how we can overcome depression by faith, let us first of all talk about the causes of depression. Why do people experience depression? More next issue.

WHAT IS DEPRESSION?

What is depression?

Is this one of our enemies? Yes it is! According to the American Heritage Dictionary: depression is “a psychotic or neurotic condition characterized by an inability to concentrate, insomnia, and feelings of extreme sadness, dejection, and hopelessness.”

To put it simply, depression is a "whole-body" illness. That means, when you are depressed, it affects your whole body, your mood, your thought patterns. When you are depressed, it affects the way you eat and sleep. It affects your thinking, your judgment, and your social behavior in ways that can cause serious problems and embarrassment. It is often a chronic recurring condition. It even affects the way you feel about yourself, and the way you think about things.

Many people consider that depression is merely a passing blue mood, or a sign of personal weakness. But it is NOT! It is not a condition that can be willed or wished away easily just like that. Without proper treatment, symptoms of depression can last for weeks, months or even years. Depression indeed is a serious state of our emotion that should not be ignored but should be dealt with seriously.

People of all ages can experience depression. If you look at the Bible, particularly in the Old Testament, you will know that there were several men of God who have experienced depression. Foremost of these is Elijah. After he single handedly defeated the more than 300 prophets of Baal at Mount Carmel, he was depressed and said in I Kings 19:14 “I have been very zealous for the Lord God almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, broken down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.” Elijah was depressed just like you and me.

When King Saul disobeyed and rejected God’s guidance, the spirit of the Lord left him and a tormenting spirit came upon him. He was then filled with depression. I Samuel 16:14 (NLT) says, “Now the spirit of the Lord had left Saul and the Lord sent a tormenting spirit that filled him with DEPRESSION and fear.”

Job in the midst of his severe test of faith experienced pain and sudden illness plus reversal of fortune that he eventually cried to the Lord, “And now my heart is broken. DEPRESSION haunts my days.” Job 30:16 (NLT).

David, before he became King was haunted by his enemies and during those times experienced depression that he too cried, “Come quickly lord and answer me for my DEPRESSION deepens. Don’t turn away from me or I will die.” (Psalms 143:7- NLT)

Jeremiah also at one time experienced depression in his life. Consider these words from in Jeremiah 8:20-22 (NIV) “The harvest is past, the summer has ended, and we are not saved. Since my people are crushed, I am crushed; I mourn and horror grips me.” He cannot bear the sight of the destruction and the exile of his people because of their sin. He became depressed and his spirit was crushed. That is why he wrote the book of lamentations. By the title itself, it means wailing and weeping.
Depression is something serious that we must overcome.

This is part of my message on OVERCOMING DEPRESSION. What do you think? Keep on logging in. Next time, I will tell you its causes and cures.

DISCOVER CHURCH MEMBERSHIP:

DISCOVER CHURCH MEMBERSHIP:

Believing and Belonging

You were designed to be part of a church family. That is exactly what New Hope church family is all about. This is now your family. Biblical Christianity is not only believing in Jesus Christ as Lord but also belonging to one another. Here at New Hope, we believe that everyone needs a church family that will support, care and encourage one another to spiritual grow and productivity.

That is why we have created Class 100 or DISCOVER MEMBERSHIP Class. This is the basic introduction to our church family, scheduled regularly. It is designed to clearly explain who and what our church is. The class, broken into sessions covering: Our salvation, our history, our statement of faith, our vision and mission, our strategy and our structure. This is taught by the pastors and staff here at New Hope. This is a great opportunity to learn about New Hope and thereby get to know others.

You don’t have to become a member to attend it, we offer the seminar for everyone for free – no strings attached. We’ll explain what we believe, how we operate, and the history of our church. We’ll answer your questions, share information on our church’s future plans and how you may become a member. At the end of the class there will be an opportunity for you to decide whether to complete the process and become a member or wait and decide at another time. No pressure or whatsoever, we want you to be comfortable with whichever you choose to do.

DISCOVER YOUR MINISTRY

DISCOVER YOUR MINISTRY

At New Hope, we believe that every Christian is made, called, instructed and prepared for service. It is a biblical principle that every Christian is a Minister. Our goal is to ensure that every member of the church is a member or is leading a ministry based on his/her spiritual gifts, desire of the heart, abilities, personality and experiences.

Our church has a Discover Ministry Placement Process called Class 300, which is a requirement for every member. This is after he or she has undergone the Discover Membership Class (Class 100) and the Discover Spiritual Maturity Class (Class 200). Each of these classes builds on each other that is why Class 100 and 200 is a prerequisite before serving in a ministry. In Class 300 our members will know their spiritual gifts, the ministry statement of the church, the reasons why they need to be in a ministry, and what ministry they were shaped for.

“For we are Christ’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” – Ephesians 2:10 NIV
“Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.” – 1 Corinthians 12: 4-6 NKJV
