GOD WILL MAKE A WAY
This is Pastor Bright Osigwe of Amazing Grace Assembly of God. I write to thank you for being a faithful partner to this church and may God bless you richly in Jesus Name. I am led to relaese the following blessings, prayers and declarations upon your life. Believe it and receive it in Jesus Name. Amen.
GOD WILL MAKE A WAY FOR YOU! Hab 3:17-19
Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines, the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls. Yet I will rejoice in the Lord. I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.
God will make a way where there is no way. In the desert, wilderness, mountain, valley and in times of adversity, he will make a way. He made a way for Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Daniel, Meshark, Shedrack and Abadnego. He will make a way for you. All you have to do is believe Him. Rejoice! Rejoice!! Rejoice!!!
The Lord has promised not to leave you or forsake you. Heb 13:5.
The Lord said we should rejoice. Phil 4:4 Rejoice in the morning, afternoon, evening and night.Nothing shall separate you from the love of God Rom. 8:28-31
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his son, that he might be the first born among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called, and whom he called, them he also justified, and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
The Lord has given you the keys to the kingdom. The keys to unlock the riches of this word. The problem is that some of us are trying to open the right door with the wrong key. That will not be your portion in Jesus Name.
I release the anointing of God upon your life. When God’s anointing comes upon you, you won’t be intimidated by fear of failure. God’s anointing gives you divine capability! God’s anointing prepares you for the satanic confrontation that is coming! God’s anointing prepares you to stand against every attacks of the enemy. Isaiah 54;17 and I John 4:4.
Say aloud: I’ve got more power than the devil. I shall not die, I cannot fail, I am the head and not the tail, I am above and not beneath, I am the first and not the last. No weapon formed against me shall prosper; the greater one is in me that he that is in the devil. I will rejoice, Halleluiah!!
Thus said the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of Kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. Isaiah 45: 1-3
“He was...a mighty man...but a leper.” 2Kings 5:1
In examining the story of Naaman the leper, we begin by looking at his condition. "Naaman, commander of the army of ... Syria , was a great...man...but a leper." In spite of his past victories and present honors, he had a hidden problem that wouldn't stay hidden long. Left un-dealt with, it would eventually destroy him. Can you relate? Today the odds may be in your favor. You've graduated from the best university, you've a good family, you've built a church or business, or climbed to the top in your career. Yet before you can qualify for greater blessings God will force you to deal with a condition that 's hidden beneath your armour. Outstanding people in every occupation, particularly spiritual ones go through it. It's what sets them apart. It's what ushers them across the bridge from mediocre to exceptional. Without obstacles we will always be ordinary! We're not talking about petty little problems. We're talking about issues so overwhelming you can't sleep; gut-wrenching things that cause your heart to skip a beat and make you fear 'this is the one that's going to take me out!" It's the thing you pray about in secret. It's what you don't want people to see. So like Naaman, you wear your "brass," then go home and agonize over your condition. Understand this: God teaches some of His greatest lessons in the valleys of life. That's where you learn to lie prostrate before Him, weeping and broken. It's where you pray: "God, don't let this thing destroy me. Deal with it through the power of your spirit." And here's the good news: that kind of prayer brings deliverance. You are an overcomer. You are the apple of God's eyes. May the Lord keep you safe, protect you and bless your week in Jesus Name. Aen. For special prayers, feel free to call me on 214-243-9992.

I write to each of you today on behalf of the 1,200 refugees who live in Shiloh Village in East Dallas. The refugees who live there arrived in the U.S. as a result of war, or religious and political persecution in their native country. The refugees arrive in Houston and then are resettled in several cities in the U.S. (of which Dallas is one). The agency that sponsors them into the U.S. receives funds from the federal government for 90 days of care. Beyond that each refugee is on his or her own. The refugees at Shiloh Village have fallen through the cracks in the system and we are working to fill those gaps.
Amazing Grace Assembly of God, in Mesquite, Texas has formed the Center for Immigration and Refugee Assistance to minister food, clothing, transportation, job referrals, ESL and life skills classes to the people at Shiloh Village. Language barriers have hindered. Having many families live in the same apartment has created a barrier to receiving food stamps for some families. We are taking a team of 20 volunteers to Shiloh Village on June 26 to interview every family to determine the needs of the people.Systematically we work to help meet those needs with the goal being to help each refugee to attain self-sufficiency and become a resource to help future refugees to easily assimilate into our society (Dallas receives about 1,000 immigrants through this gateway each year). Would you like to see a copy of this report?
If you would like additional information about the refugees at Shiloh Village, Amazing Grace Assembly of God in Mesquite, Texas,and I will be glad to answer your questions and assist you in any way that I can. Will you partner with us to help to meet the needs of the refugees from developing countries who now reside at Shiloh Village? We are planning to give away food, clothing, and books while we are at Shiloh Village on the 26th. Do you have any food or money that you could donate to us to give to the refugees? Please do so and God will richly bless you. Log on to www.newheartassembly.org or www.amgrace.org to donate. God bless you abundantly.

Refugee Outreach on 6/26/10

The refugees who live there arrived in the U.S. as a result of war, or religious and political persecution in their native country.

The agency that sponsors them into the U.S. receives funds from the federal government for 90 days of care. Beyond that each refugee is on his or her own. The refugees at Shiloh Village and other five apartment complexes have fallen through the cracks in the system and we are working to fill those gaps.
Amazing Grace Assembly of God, in Mesquite, Texas has formed the Center for Immigration and Refugee Assistance to minister food, clothing, transportation, job referrals, ESL and life skills classes to the people at Shiloh Village. Language barriers have hindered. Having many families live in the same apartment has created a barrier to receiving food stamps for some families. We are taking a team of 30 volunteers to Shiloh Village on June 26 to interview every family to determine the needs of the people. About a week later I will produce a report to summarize the results of the needs analysis survey and begin to systematically work to help meet those needs with the goal being to help each refugee to attain self-sufficiency and become a resource to help future refugees to easily assimilate into our society (Dallas receives about 3,000 immigrants through this gateway each year).
If you would like additional information about the refugees at Shiloh Village, Amazing Grace Assembly of God in Mesquite, Texas, or about me, please reply to this email with your questions or call me at 214-243-9992, and I will be glad to answer your questions and assist you in any way that I can.

Do you have any kind of spiritual belief? In your opinion, who is Jesus? Do you believe that there is a Heaven and Hell? If you were to die right now, where would you go? Do you believe you are a sinner? Would you like God to forgive all your sins? Do you believe Jesus died for you on the cross and paid for all your sins? Are you willing to give your life completely and repent of all your sins? Are you ready to invite Jesus into your life and your heart to be your Lord and Savior forever?
Prayer!
I want forgiveness for all my sins. I repent of all known sins and turn 100% of my life to you Jesus. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for me and rose again. Father, I give You my whole life to do with as You wish, forever. I surrender what I want, what I think, what I feel and choose to completely obey You! I ask You, Jesus, to come into my life and heart, cleanse me in Your blood and be my Lord and Savior from this day on and forever. Jesus Christ is Lord of my life! Amen.

Understand this: God teaches some of His greatest lessons in the valleys of life. That's where you learn to lie prostrate before Him, weeping and broken. It's where you pray: "God, don't let this thing destroy me. Deal with it through the power of your spirit." And here's the good news: that kind of prayer brings deliverance.
Do you have any kind of spiritual belief? In your opinion, who is Jesus? Do you believe that there is a Heaven and Hell? If you were to die right now, where would you go? Do you believe you are a sinner? Would you like God to forgive all your sins? Do you believe Jesus died for you on the cross and paid for all your sins? Are you willing to give your life completely and repent of all your sins? Are you ready to invite Jesus into your life and your heart to be your Lord and Savior forever?
Prayer!
I want forgiveness for all my sins. I repent of all known sins and turn 100% of my life to you Jesus. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for me and rose again. Father, I give You my whole life to do with as You wish, forever. I surrender what I want, what I think, what I feel and choose to completely obey You! I ask You, Jesus, to come into my life and heart, cleanse me in Your blood and be my Lord and Savior from this day on and forever. Jesus Christ is Lord of my life! Amen.

"He was a ...mighty man...but a leper." 2Kings 5:1
In examining the story of Naaman the leper, we begin by looking at his condition. "Naaman, commander of the army of ...Syria, was a great...man...but a leper." In spite of his past victories and present honors, he had a hidden problem that wouldn't stay hidden long. Left un-dealt with, it would eventually destroy him. Can you relate? Today the odds may be in your favor. You've graduated from the best university, you've a good family, you've built a church or business, or climbed to the top in your career. Yet before you can qualify for greater blessings God will force you to deal with a condition that 's hidden beneath your armour. Outstanding people in every occupation, particularly spiritual ones go through it. It's what sets them apart. It's what ushers them across the bridge from mediocre to exceptional. Without obstacles we will always be ordinary! We're not talking about petty little problems. We're talking about issues so overwhelming you can't sleep; gut-wrenching things that cause your heart to skip a beat and make you fear 'this is the one that's going to take me out!" It's the thing you pray about in secret. It's what you don't want people to see. So like Naaman, you wear your "brass," then go home and agonize over your condition. Understand this: God teaches some of His greatest lessons in the valleys of life. That's where you learn to lie prostrate before Him, weeping and broken.

Comfort in Troubled Times Psalm 46:5 NIV
"GOD WILL HELP HER AT BREAK OF DAY."
When your world is suddenly turned upside down, remember, God's plans for your life haven't been cancelled! When you are trapped with no way out, here are some things to remember:
(1) Look for the river. "There is a river whose streams make glad" (Ps 46:4 NIV). In Old Testamant symbolism, rivers represent God's supply for your every need. When every human source of supply seems to have dried up, don't fear, look for the river.
(2) Look for the city. God has planted His "city...the holy place where the Most High dwells" (v.4 NIV), right in the middle of your circumstances. God's city, the symbol of His presence and power, guarantees He's still in control and that He will restore peace and order to your troubled world..
(3) Look for the signs of God's presence. "God will help [you] at break of day" (v.5 NIV). Daybreak, a symbol of new beginnings, gives you confidence that beyond this time of trouble of and testing, a new day is at hand. 'Great is his faithfullness; his mercies begin afresh each morning" (La 3:23 NLT). Keep up the faith, be strong and know that God is ever present with you in time of trouble.

Each step you take will be a miracle!
God said...Don't look to the bigness of your need, look to the bigness of your God. Your circumstances are hinderances to seeing God's abilities. If you keep your eyes on your circumstances, the devil will use your circumstances to defeat you and accuse the word of God...the written and the living word. Your victory is in keeping your eyes on the bigness of your God and His ability. He has promised to take you step by step...not all at once but step by step and each step will be a miracle! "He hath said, so that we may boldly say, the Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me." Hebrewa 13:5,6. Believe and act today. One of the greatest sins in the world today is procratination-"putting things off" Act now!
God told me to tell you this: Get your eyes off your circumstances. The devil will use them to defeat you. ..."let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith..." Heb 12: 1-2. Get your eyes on the bigness of your God...Let Him take you step by step. Each step will be a MIRACLE. God ministered to me with those words, and with those words He lifted the veil so that I could see clearly ... and I pray that you see clearly. God is greater than any circumstances that could ever affect our lives. As you absorb that fact, as it becomes a part of your great inner knowing, something will happen in your life. Infact...something is happening...now!

Amazing One Year
As we step into another year, the course ahead is un-charted. There are many challenges ahead but God will see us through. What hangs in the balance is the salvation of multitudes of people that’s why we embark on aggressive Evangelism and Outreach. Some of our ministry goals this year include:
1) Missions: With heart full of joy, we thank members of the church and our friends for their love and support as we get ready to make our first Mission trip to Africa. We need volunteers to go with us as well as financial support for those who want to go but cannot afford it. We have been able to reach out to many nations including, Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania, Zambia, Uganda, and Kenya., Cameroon, Sudan, Somalia, Burundi and Eritrea. Many are yet to be reached and we need your support.
Church Building: You are aware that we are meeting in a rented facility and are believing God to acquire our own building. Pray for us and be part of the move for God to bless us with our own property. God will reward you abundantly
Our hearts to Jesus, our eyes to the harvest
God is building a new church. With abundant joy and abundant grace, I am pleased to announce the One Year Anniversary-a new church in Mesquite, Texas. We will be launching Amazing Grace in May 2009. As we embark in the process of building a new church, our church holds the promise of growth and the opportunity for everyone to build with us.
Our desire is to be a racially diverse group, a multi racial church with solid, caring relationships. Our goal is to make an eternal impact in our community. We are a gathering of people helping our neighbors discover the newness of life found in being a Jesus follower. On February 15th, 2009, we started small. The best thing about being small is that when great things happen, no one gets the credit but God. And today, great things are happening and we are getting bigger. To God be the glory.

AMAZING GRACE ASSEMBLY OF GOD REFUGEE MINISTRY
CENTER FOR AFRICAN REFUGEES AND IMMIGRATION ASSISTANCE (CARIA)
Our church plant is in Mesquite Texas. It is the conviction from. Based on the conviction that we have been called by God to be the light of the world and salt of the earth, we have started a Refugee/Immigration Ministry here in DFW. The United States of America in the FY 2009 accepted 80,000 Refugees. Over 20,000 of them are here in Texas and about 9,000 here in the DFW area.
Many of us may not quite understand who is a refugee. That calls for the following questions:
Who is a refugee? A refugee is a person who, “...owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social or political opinion, outside the country of his nationality and unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country.
Where are they from? Refugee families come to Dallas from Afghanistan, Bhutan, Burma, Ethiopia, Iran, Iraq, Democratic Republic of Congo, Togo, Sudan, Burundi, Eritrea, Somalia, Cuba, Nepal and other areas of conflict.
What services does Amazing Grace provide to the refugees? We provide resettlement; employment referrals and education to help families and individuals become independent and self sufficient. All our services are free and it also includes teaching English as a second language (ESL), cultural orientation, Adjustment counseling, school registration, family support services, job readiness, budget planning, referrals for social security, Health referrals, English classes referrals, TXIDs & WIC referrals, job skills training, case management, mentoring, youth programs, Immigration referrals and advocacy. But the primary aim of this ministry to every refugees is to share the gospel, witness to the gospel, preach the gospel, communicate the gospel, present the gospel, enable them to hear the gospel, reach them with the gospel, and give them opportunity to respond to the gospel.
What are the items they need? Most importantly, they need financial assistance, prayer and love. Other needs include:
Shampoo, Bath soap, Dish soap, Toothpaste and Toothbrushes, Razors and Shaving Cream, Diapers (sizes 1-5) Gift Cards for Kroger/Carnival/Fiesta, Wal-Mart, DART bus tickets, Furniture e.g. Cribs, Dinning Tables & Chairs, Dressers, Lamps, Sofas, Brooms & Dustpans, Laundry Detergent, Deodorant (men/women) Shower Curtain Liners & Rings, Flatware Pots and Pans, Large cooking pots, Dishes, Mixing and serving bowls, Cooking spoons, spatulas, other utensils, Can Openers & Vegetable peelers, Colander/Strainer, Towels & Washcloths, Sheets (twin, double queen & king), Blankets (twin, double, queen and king), Pillows, Alarm cloths & radios, toys, coffee Makers & Teapots, Vacuum cleaners, computers, printers and electronics. We ensure that we provide them with food; basic furnishings and we are actively involved in meeting them at the Airport, and providing them transportation as they arrive. As soon as we settle them in, we take them for grocery shopping within their first three days in this country. Assist with obtaining Social Security card, Medicaid, and we teach them English as a second language.
URGENT NEED FOR TRANSPORTATION.
Our Refugee Ministry requires lots of running around, driving, carrying all the items we donate to them, picking up donated items and picking up the refugees to church. We are a small new ministry and cannot afford to buy a van at this point. We are therefore making a desperate appeal to all churches, ministers and individuals all over this country to assist in donating a van or in giving us a financial gift to purchase a van. We need at least three vans at this point but can use anything in the form of transportation for a start. We are an Ethnic Multicultural new church with a big vision but are seriously hindered by finances. I pray that God will open a door and grant us favor through you in Jesus Name. Any financial donation you make towards this will be well appreciated. God will reward you abundantly.
The Refuges stories are sad. Once uprooted, refugees and displaced people embark on a perilous journey. They flee in small groups smuggled out in the night, and in long, weary columns tramping across scorched earth. They fling themselves onto leaky boats and hand up their babies to strangers leaning from beating helicopters or hissing trains. We at AMAZING GRACE A/G know their stories as immigrants ourselves. We therefore have stepped up to be an answer to the cries of the oppressed, but we cannot do it alone. You can help. Many people become refugees as a result of war, economic crisis, food shortages, global warming or environmental catastrophes. This church has made a commitment to saving lives and helping refugees and all displaced people on their journey from harm to home. We need your help.
Just recently, a refugee from NEPAL said to me, “Everyone in my village fled during the conflict. The village became an overgrown fields and broken houses. Our village economy is very bad and the literacy rate almost 90%. I am thankful for America helping me escape the refugee camp. I now have hope and a chance to live a better life. I am grateful to America. I pray they find my wife and two babies who are lost in Nepal”.
Amazing Grace is a church planted to reach every living person in the world with the gospel. To set the captives free in Jesus Name. To utilize every visible method of taking and sending the Christian good news to the entire world. To show unconditional love to others by caring and sharing. To always remember that God has placed the world in our hearts. He has given us a responsive, dangerous, and opportune moment in history. Genesis 1:26-30. He is loving us to love a lost world... He desires to use us and bless us. My prayer is that God will use us fully as we keep the whole world in view.
As we therefore provide pastoral care, support and prayers as well as resettlement services and education to help refugees and other individuals become self sufficient, we pray that you join us as we together make a difference in the lives of the less privlileged.
