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.

Unashamed Outreach Worship Conference ~ 5/15/10

Unashamed Outreach Worship Ministry invited WOWgroup Global Fellowships to teach on the topic of Esther and Mordecai. Keynote Speaker was our very own Dr. Sandrie S. Smith and Minister Richard Altreche. It was an awesome collaborative team effort.

Mercy Seat
Minister Lillian Altreche ushered us closer to the mercy seat of the Father. What a sweet reminder that we can run to Jesus and find mercy and His grace, which covers us and provides the healing that we need each and everyday.

Esther
Dr. Sandrie S. Smith spoke about the importance of our first ministry, which is our home. Our first ministry is our family (Spouse and Children) " You want to be loved ~ You have to love," were the words shared by our keynote speaker. Dr. Sandrie S. Smith compared a patient husband on his wedding night waiting for his lovely bride to the relationship of Jesus. Moreover, Dr. Sandrie S. Smith emphasised that "God doesn't want to change who we are, however, He wants to sharpen us". Using personal stories and real experiences is something Dr. Sandrie S. Smith does proficiently and eloquently. The heart of the message is that God is consistent, patient and is always working in us. One of the questions that was posed to the congregation was the following: Are we perfect? You could have heard a pin drop. But then the word reminded us that we are indeed perfect, created in His image. The righteousness of God. Therefore we are His prescence. We must let God reign. Esther had the right identity. We learned that she knew how to function and when to move. Esther had the right character.

Mordecai
Minister Richard Altreche demonstrated how some of us don't get the position, because we did not act upon it. We are in a beautification process. "You have been put in a position it's time to act". Minister Richard Altreche reminded us that maybe we have a Mordecai who is telling us that is time. Do not let fear set in~righteous are we.

The important key ~ we have to be courageous, plan and make time. Esther did not move on her own.
