The Comfort Room

Do you need enough power to fuel you in your life's journey?

Recently i have the privilege of talking to Brother Rudy Reuyan, a very humble church leader,a good provider, husband and father to his family and a very honest and hard working Division Manager of Cebu Holdings/Ayala Malls.He told me that before he came to where he is right now and before he became what he is right now he went into a difficult journey.

Brother Rudy shared to me that after his marriage he and his family went into terrible financial needs.For eight years he can't find a job, they don't have their own house and they are surviving and living in a day to day basis.Failing to find a permanent work he ventured to small photography business and an extra job as home service appliances technician.But what he earns from this sources aren't enough to support the increasing needs of his family.

There were days that he went into sobbing and asking God to carry him and his family as they go through the day with difficulties.Prayer was his only tool and he do it like a daily ritual and in a very unusual place to pray the CR.(YES the Comfort Room)
There he pours out all his frustrations, questions, family needs and of course his dreams.Eight long years of financial needs plus other problems and eight long years of daily calling God at the CR.

For eight years he is in need but for eight years he remained faithful. For eight years he never compromised his faith and his beliefs and for eight long years he hoped and lived with expectancy.It can be tempting for anyone to grumble, get discouraged, get frustrated but not this man.God carried him all those years.One day God answered him and lead him to his divine connections and to the work God prepared for him

What will you do if life beats you down? When you are in the point of breaking down how will you face life? Like Brother Rudy instead of breaking down, you break through and choose to win in life through prayer and faith.When life grinds us we easily feel defeated but don't.God has promised that He will move if you will seek His help amidst your needs and pains.

Brother Rudy learned that during those difficult eight years God carried him and his family. He told me that those years were actually the season God polished him to be a leader who knows the importance of honesty, humility and most of all giving back to God all the glory in his daily task and success.

If God answered brother Rudy surely he will give you the desires of your heart.Keep praying and hoping and expecting the best from God.

" The power of prayer is experienced by people who believe in it enough to pursue what God has promised"

choose to win!
