From: "Dwayne Savaya" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gods Work Ministry Inspirational and Encouragement E-Mail
Dear Friend, I hope you are doing well and are in the best of health. I am doing very well and am thankful to the Lord for every blessing that He has bestowed upon this work. The Lord has been gracious and consistent in leading this ministry these past six years and I am thankful for His continued anointing and leading of this work that is founded under His Name. I do give God all the glory, honor and praise for every blessing and for His Holy Spirit for reaching each of our dear members with His touch of comfort, encouragement and inspiration. The Lord has done it all and I dare not take the credit. We have heard from many members who have requested to receive our ministry messages on tape and or compact disc. Our Ministry messages are mainly sent by e-mail and this new area of Ministry wasn't really in our thoughts. After much prayer and consideration, I felt the Lord leading me to start this new addition to our Ministry. I have learned very quickly that when God leads me in doing something new, that new work will be a blessing and an encouragement to all who receive. We have been working on this new addition for a few months now and have completed the first volume which we have called Voice Messages Volume One. Each of the messages is read aloud by me Dwayne Savaya and I have included in this volume fifteen messages. For those who are curious to know what I sound like, Voice Messages will answer that curiosity. The messages that are a part of Volume One are a collection of stories and poems that have been used as a part of our E-mail Ministry. Voice Messages Volume One includes: The Cookie Thief The Lonely Ember He Doesn't Remember God Is Watching Out For You God Forgives You Make Me Like Joe Not Home Yet Unanswered Letters Where Do You Live? Wait Three Days I Refuse To Be Discouraged Say A Prayer The Richest Man A Man Named Kimball The Obstacle In Our Path The messages are available on compact disc and each message is on its own track. This makes it very convenient if you'd like to hear a specific message again without having to search for it. Each disc is available for $5.00 which includes United States shipping. Members who live outside the U.S can receive Voice Messages for $8.00 which includes International shipping. The reason for the fee is to pay the cost of production, materials and shipping charges that we have incurred. We have worked hard to make Voice Messages affordable so that all of our members may be able to receive the disc and be blessed by the messages therein. If you enjoy our ministry and are blessed by the messages that you have read, imagine the blessing of having the messages read to you anywhere a CD player is available. Friends who have heard Voice Messages say that it is worth much more than what we have set the price at. I am happy that our friends are saying that because it shows how blessed and anointed Voice Messages really is. We have set-up two different ways for you to order Voice Messages. Orders can be made by sending a Check or Money Order to our mailing address requesting Voice Messages or for faster shipping, Online orders can be made using a Credit Card.

In Christ's Service, Dwayne Savaya Gods Work Ministry ================================================= From: "Dwayne Savaya" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gods Work Ministry Inspirational and Encouragement E-Mail Dear Friend, The blessings that are bestowed by our good works can never be measured and placed in a box. The positive and reinforcing memories that are left will last a lot longer than whatever deed it was that was done. We are to remember this simple fact so that we will be quick in helping others and sharing a positive side of life. It is so easy for anyone to intervene and put a smile on someone else's face, but we must take the initiative and decide to be uplifting and shed light on every dark situation. We'll soon find how blessed it is to be a blessing and we will receive the benefits of following God's Word in being the light of the world. (Matthew 5:13-16) I hope you are encouraged by today's message to see that you do have the ability to be an encourager and you can make a difference in the lives of those around you. A COMFORTING SCOOP My father was a simple man but he had a wisdom that could never be doubted. No matter the problem, he could always make the pain go away. From a small ice cream shop near the rice fields of Eastern Arkansas, he squeezed out a living. During the lean years of the Depression, he thrived but often some of his best customers did not. Often, they wouldn't have quite enough to pay, but he'd always make sure everybody got a taste. "Can't deny a man a little comfort," he'd say, as he would scoop out a portion from a gallon tub with his walnut-handled ice cream scoop. "God wants us to help one another. He wants me to do it with ice cream." So many times I saw him use that tool to come to my rescue, if I fell off my bike or twisted my ankle. With a relaxed tone of voice, he'd use that scoop to offer a friend a consoling dip of vanilla. When I reached the age of nine, my father was soon to close the ice cream shop. Watching a fiery red sun set over a rain-soaked rice field, he offered me some words of wisdom that have lived on. "Always remember to offer those less fortunate a little bit of kindness." After he said those words, he handed me the ice cream scoop I had seen him use to dish out tenderness. With a tear in his eye and a ripple in his voice, he said, "One day, you will know how to use it, just as I have." I held on to that gift, as it was the last time I saw him. My mother helped me strip the wooden handle and covered it with a new coat of varnish. We also discovered that the scoop was made out of silver. So, we polished it to a brilliant finish. On a wooden plaque bought from our neighborhood hardware store, the scoop was mounted. I placed the plaque on the wall of my room as if it was a trophy. Indeed, it was. Twenty years passed and I found myself a father. One Sunday afternoon, I took my children over to their Grandma's house for a visit after church. My kids loved going to Grandma's just as I did in my youth. My mother and I chatted in the porch swing as the children sat on the ground looking for four-leaf clovers. Suddenly, one of the children shouted in pain. It was a bee sting to the leg of my four-year old and tears coming from her eyes were real. I knew that she wasn't allergic but still she was hurting. My mother ran in the house to find some first aid ointment. My wife ran to grab some antiseptic. I, on the other hand, just ran. Wondering what to do, I paced back and forth. Suddenly, as if by magic, I remembered my father. Quickly, I ran into my old bedroom and pulled the ice cream scoop off the wall. As my wife doctored my daughter's leg, my mother looked on. In a few moments, I came from the kitchen with five bowls of chocolate ice cream, balanced perfectly in my hands. My mother smiled as she said, "I see you found that ice cream scoop." I smiled in return and replied, "I was taught by a good teacher." As I look back, I see that God was the Great Comforter. Sometimes He uses the painful moments in our lives to teach us. But He always softens our fall in ways we cannot see. That is why it was always my father's ice cream scoop that provided the comfort, but it rested in God's hand. By Harrison Kelly Read and meditate on these scriptures: Matthew 5:13-16 Jesus declares "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Psalm 37:3-5 "Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass." Colossians 3:23-25 "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons." All of these scriptures can be found in the King James Version Bible.
