Ex-meninas do mundo



Bispo Macedo,
Existe uma realidade assustadora numa parte esquecida do Brasil que o testemunho de fé do senhor está ajudando a mudar.
No interior do Pará, muitas meninas de 12, 13 anos são obrigadas a se prostituir em troca de comida e roupa. São garotas ribeirinhas que chegam a vender a virgindade por até 15 reais. Existe muita miséria por aqui.
Mas agora o livro Nada a Perder está ajudando a trazer um pouco de esperança para essas meninas.
Meu nome é Olavo de Moraes Souza, tenho 33 anos, e ajudo a coordenar o trabalho evangelístico nas comunidades isoladas pelas águas na cidade de Moju.
Enfrentamos dificuldades de acesso em algumas épocas do ano porque os rios secam e só voltam a ficar navegáveis no período das cheias.
Em um desses vilarejos isolados, em Porto da Balsa, há duas semanas, distribuímos centenas de exemplares de Nada a Perder para a comunidade ribeirinha.
A maioria das meninas e de suas famílias aceita nossa ajuda na hora.
Bispo, veja a história da Maria, que saiu dessa vida marginal graças à Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus e nos ajudou a distribuir os livros nessa guerra pela recuperação das meninas escravas da prostituição.
"Minha vida nunca valeu nada nessa parte da Amazônia. Meu pai enchia a cara de álcool e quebrava tudo em casa durante suas crises de bebedeira.
Chegava a jogar nossos brinquedos no rio como forma de castigo. Cresci sozinha, no meu canto, com mágoa do meu pai e em busca de carinho e atenção.

Logo passei a entregar meu corpo nas margens dos rios da minha cidade.
Homens casados, sujos, mais velhos, violentos, bêbados. Na vida de uma prostituta aparece de tudo. A depressão invadiu minha alma.
Tentei me matar por três vezes, a última cortando meus pulsos.
Um dia, recebi o convite para trabalhar em uma casa noturna em um outro estado, longe do Pará, quando fui evangelizada por uma jovem da Igreja Universal.
Eu estava sozinha em um ponto de ônibus, desolada, com meu interior em trevas, sentindo nojo de mim mesma pela podridão de vida que levava.
Decidi dar um basta e vencer meus medos.
Hoje, faz 19 anos que estou na presença de Deus, livre do passado que me aprisionou. Sou casada, tenho um marido maravilhoso, e agora luto para levar a outras meninas prostitutas a mesma mensagem de fé que me salvou.
Confesso que recebi sua biografia com uma enorme alegria aqui na minha terra. Vi em cada livro uma chance única de conquistar inúmeras vidas perdidas.
Muitas meninas abrem um sorriso discreto quando recebem o Nada a Perder.
Pedem socorro na forma de um abraço. A minha oração é por cada uma delas todos os dias da minha vida".

Maria Muniz, 35 anos

The Tree of Life


Mankind’s success begins with the Cross.
It is the source of spiritual and moral principles.
First the spiritual, then the moral.
When there are spiritual principles, there will also be moral principles.
When the fear of God exists, there will also be love, faithfulness, respect, honor, consideration, and compliance in your marriage.
Your spiritual character is reflected in your moral character.
The Cross guides the spiritual and the moral.
The vertical beam on the Cross represents man’s personal relationship with God. This beam was established in the First Commandment of God's Law: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment," Matthew 22.37-38
In practical terms, this means that the Lord God has to occupy the First Place in a man’s life, and be the Focus of his attention, consideration, respect, faithfulness and fear.
God does not accept to divide this position with anyone else. This is why Jesus made it very clear when He said:
"He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.  And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it," Matthew 10.37-39
Once this principle of faith is established, the next step is the formation of the horizontal beam of the Cross.
The Second Great Commandment, which is similar to the First, is:
"You shall love your neighbor as yourself," Matthew 22.39
Who is closest to you, if not your husband or wife?
Therefore, the horizontal beam of the Cross is made up of two parts: a husband and his wife. Nevertheless, these parts must be extracted from the vertical beam, so that the Cross can be built with wood from the same tree: the Tree of Life.
Once the Cross is established in someone's life, this person, undoubtedly, will be “as a tree planted next to rivers of water, that in due time gives its fruit and whose leaves will not wither, and everything this person does will be successful,” Psalm 1.3

Don't Be Greedy!

'Then He came to Capernaum. And when He was in the house He asked them, 'What was it you disputed among yourselves on the road?'
We live in a world where most of people have been very greedy they never get tired of searching for more no matter what it takes they want more and many times for them to conquer a better position at work, at school or in any other area of society, they lie and corrupt themselves, in some cases they even kill each other, it doesn't really matter because what they want is above anything. Well, to see this type of attitude among unbelievers is not a surprise for us but among Christians is unacceptable. There was a dispute among the disciples to decide who was the greatest among them, they were fighting for a position.
When we become servants of God the most important thing for us is to serve Him no matter where or how we are going to serve, either cleaning, cooking, preaching, evangelizing, opening or closing doors, etc... the pleasure of a servant is to serve and for a servant there is no good or bad place because he is a servant and his priority is to please His master.
