Maintaining a Relationship during the Mountaintops &Valleys

Maintaining a relationship with the Father when things are going great is easy, but what happens when we find ourselves deep in the crevices of the valleys?

Minister William Merced Jr. shared a powerful word with WOWgroup Global Fellowship NY and gave us great examples from the Word of God.

David a great king led his army, but they were losing and he was afraid. We learn from the scriptures that David had to speak the Word and remind himself that God was dependable. God never let him down before. God knew that David was afraid, but through David's sacrificial praise and thanksgiving even when he was at the lowest was acceptable to the King of Kings. The Lord's Word was something that David knew he could hold onto no matter what. Today we learned that as long as we have a firm foundation on the Word of God we can make it through the valleys and on the mountaintops.

1 Chronicles 29:10
David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying, "Praise be to you, O Lord, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.

Psalm 56:3
When I am afraid, I will trust in you.

Psalm 56:4
In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?

1 Chronicles 29:11-13
Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. [12] Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. [13] Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.

WOWgroup Fellowship NJ - 7/11/10

By Minister Tanya Merced

WOWgroup Fellowship NJ was privileged in having guest speaker Johnny Rivera and wife Carmen Rivera teach on the topic of Conquering and Drawing Close to the Heart of God. Guest Speaker Johnny Rivera referred to Esther 2:17 and Esther 2:13 and showed how Esther and Mordecai represent Christ and His divine plan.

After listening carefully to this message we learned that we have a divine purpose. We are the channel that God uses to draw others to the kingdom. Esther used her inner and outer beauty to persuade the King and to save her people. Esther did not rush, but she observed, she studied and learned that the King loved banquets and therefore used her request wisely.

An intelligent leader knows the heart of the King (Jesus) we not only talk like Jesus, but our walk reflects Jesus both inside and out.

Seasons Change ~ 6/27/10

WOWgroup Fun Pool Fellowship


It's that season of the year when family and friends gather together to celebrate the Summer Season. Many of us are enjoying our vacations, while others are enjoying BBQ's. However, there are seasons in our lives where we are not celebrating or enjoying the process at all.

WOWgroup Fellowship NY & WOWgroup Fellowship NJ gathered together at Mr. & Mrs. Fuentes home for a time of Worship, Thanksgiving, Prayer, and encouragement. We learned that there are many seasons that we must go through. The bible clearly states in Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
The Lord helped each one of us to apply this scripture in our life and to focus on the positive changes that are happening in the season that we are in.

It is important to note that when we acknowledge the season we are in whether it is Spring time, Summer, Fall, or Winter we must be willing to allow God to take us through the season. When we allow the Father to walk us and guide us through each season we are sure to see the fruits bloom into the sweet rose of Sharon.
