As you know, Australia's trade mission to North Asia has been highly successful.
The Government finalised a Free Trade Agreement with Japan on Monday, it signed a Free Trade Agreement with the Republic of Korea on Tuesday and, today, our trade mission is in China.
This is good news for Australia because more trade always leads to more jobs. It's also good for consumers, because when trade barriers fall, prices fall with them. Families will benefit from lower prices for essential family goods.
Trade is a vital part of the Government's plan to build a strong, prosperous economy and a safe, secure Australia - and we are delivering on our plan. As the Prime Minister pointed out earlier this week, trade not only leads to more jobs, it also leads to more trust between nations.
The Trade Mission to China, being led by Tony Abbott, includes the Premiers and a Chief Minister. 700 Australian business leaders are participating in this delegation which is promoting our businesses to the largest market in our region. We are holding the first Australia Week in China, showcasing the best of our country.
This has been a successful week for Australia.
In the months and years ahead, the benefits will flow through to Australians - with more jobs, lower prices and more investment in our country.
This will help all Australians plan their futures with confidence.
Regards,
Andrew Robb
Minister for Trade and Investment

Pastor Rick Warren
A few thoughts on faith from my journal:
o One reason we have so many problems is because we rarely trust God until we have to.
o Faith is only as powerful as what you put it in. There are many things you can put your faith in that can't help you at all.
o True faith isn't based on how you feel. In fact, your emotions often hinder your faith.

MADU Odiokwu Pastorvin
Father, I humbly come to You giving You every area of my mind, will and emotions. I submit my desires to You knowing that Your ways are higher. Thank You for leading me and causing me to rise up to the next level in every area of life in Jesus’ name. Amen.

We serve a God of increase. A God that wants you to continually rise up higher in Him. A God that wants you to know Him more so that He can reveal His glory through you.A God that wants you to be blessed so that you can be a blessing to others.A God that wants to take you to the next level in every area of your life.
The Scripture says,“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”(Isaiah 40:31, KJV) Be strong as you wait for the next level.
The “next level” looks different for each of us. For you, it may be seeing your family restored. It may be healing in your body. It may be a promotion at work or new friendships that you’ve desired. No matter what it is, know that God has your best in His heart. He desires to do exceedingly, abundantly above and beyond what you could ask, think or imagine. He loves to do above and beyond and show Himself strong on your behalf.You are blessed.

TODAY IS THE DAY TO TAKE YOUR LIFE BACK!
Everyone has days when they feel like life is out of control. This usually happens when we allow our circumstances to dictate our thoughts and attitudes. You might say, “Well, the economy is wreaking havoc on my business.” Or “This relationship is just too far gone.” But I say, today is the day to take your life back. Don't ever accept defeat.
You can take your life back by choosing to take your thoughts back. Even though we live in this natural realm, as believers, we are not limited by this natural realm.The Scripture says,Take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5, NIV). We can tap into God’s power by making every thought line up with the Word of God. Don’t allow your circumstances to control you; instead, meditate on His Word and let His truth set you free.God bless you.
