Ex 20:12 and Math 19:19 States this: Honour your father and your mother so that may live a long and happy life in the land where God put you! It is amazing how many people do not do this in obedience to God. We hear of old people everyday who are abandoned by their children although when these parents die, the children rush over to find out what the parents left to them in a will and they claim to have loved their late mother or father, just to lay their hands on whatever the old people had. These people are money and inheritance driven and it is a shame and i believe God will stand up for the old abandoned people. You see, God understands the hurt of the old people, He himself is a parent to us and He wants to be loved for who He is and not for what He can give us.He has anyway given the biggest inheritance we could have hoped for by giving us eternal life through Jesus, love Him for that, He knows what you need and will supply all your needs if you love Him without any expectancy of worldly things!

Jer 17:7 Says the following:a Blessing is on the man or woman who puts their faith ( trust ) in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
Please take note today that God is your banner and He will not ever let you down! Even when it seems you have been abandoned, it only means one thing, the devil is telling you lies, don't believe him, God will not abandone you, He fills all the gaps, even the whole that the goodbye to your loved one has left.

The days of false teaching

Have you ever wondered about why so many preachers of the modern age are living in wealth in contrast with many of their followers? I'll tell you why, it is because some preachers are money driven and not souls for the kingdom of Christ driven. The word of God talks about them in 1 Tim 6:3 - 5. Verse 5 says this, bitter talk of men who are evil in mind, and dead to what is true, taking the faith to be a way of making profit. You see, many people do believe in giving God His share of their income, we call the concept tithing, but tithing should be done out of love to God and not because the preacher makes you feel guilty or because he or she is a good sales person, of witch there are many in the ministry today. Many people tithe and then they ask, but why am i still battling with a shortage of money? You should ask yourself if you are indeed giving to the work of the Lord with a loving attitude and through being obedient, or have you been promised good things by a preacher who in turn puts your money (God's money ) in his own pocket. Heb 13:5 states that we should be free for the love of money and be content with what we have, and then God says He will be with us at all times, witch means He knows what we need and He will provide it. So i urge you, if all you hear in your church of how God will bless you because of your tithe and only good things are promised, and your pastor does not preach the real good news of salvation, then you should contemplate on finding another church where the word is preached to it's fullness and where you will be loved for who you are and not for what you have and give. That is why so many people do not get saved, for the lack of hearing that sin and living without Jesus as Lord will send them to hell. Money does not make the world go around, trusting Jesus and knowing Him, does !

The Word in you

James 1:21 Did you know that the Word of God is "planted" within us? This means that no man or woman can ever say they did not know what God's will is for their lives. God wants us to live our lives according to His word and He made it simple, for His Word, according to Heb 8:10 God wrote His laws in our minds and on our hearts, therefore we know His ways even if we don't personally know Him.How many times have you found yourself knowing it would be wrong doing something before you do it? You see that is because God wants all people to live a life of total submittance and victory in Him. Knowing this, it will be good to submit to God and His word and make Jesus the sole partner of all you do and you will see how Jesus takes control of every situation and you will be happy, even if it is just to know there is someone who stands up for you, remember Jesus even pleads for us when God the Father has all the right in the world to destroy us. May you be blessed living with Jesus as your Guide and counsellor!

Die lang pad

Partykeer is die pad wat mens saam met die Here stap, 'n lang en eensame pad. Jy kan jou vriende en familie verloor tydens hierdie staptog. In die lewe is daar byvoorbeeld twee poorte, `n nou poort en `n breë poort. Daar is twee paaie waarvan jy moet kies, die breë pad en die smal pad. Daar is twee bestemmings, die lewe en die verderf. Daar is twee groepe mense op die paaie, die baie en die min. Die een is wyd en oop en gemaklik, en daar is baie mense daarop. Dis `n lekker pad. Daar is jolliefikasie op daardie pad. Hulle kuier en skerts en lag en geniet dit. Die ander poort is smal en moeilik en dit is `n eensaam pad. Die Here Jesus staan vanmore hier voor jou en sê: Jy moet `n bewustelike keuse maak. Jy kan nie maar net aanploeter nie. As jy besluit om die pad van die ewige lewe te kies moet jy onthou: Die poort se draaihek laat ook nie bagasie toe nie. - Jy kan nie jou titels, of jou posisie of jou besittings saam neem as jy hier wil deur nie. - Hier gaan jy soos jou vinger deur, gestroop van alle pretensies. - Jy kan ook nie jou pad deur die hek koop nie. - Ongeag van hoe ywerig jy bygedra het tot die kerk en die gemeente ens. - daardie goed van jou pas nie deur die hek nie. Hier is dit jy en God alleen

Kies die lewe

Deut 30:19

Of ons gereed is of nie, eendag kom alles tot ‘n einde.
Daar sal geen sonsopkoms meer wees nie, geen minute, geen ure, geen dae nie.
Alles wat jy bymekaar gemaak het, of dit nou vir jou kosbaar is of nie, sal aan iemand anders behoort.

Jou rykdom, jou roem, jou wêreldse mag sal verskrompel tot onbelangrikheid.
Dit sal nie saak maak wat jy besit het nie of wat aan jou verskuldig is nie.
Jou haat, griewe, frustrasies en jaloesies sal uiteindelik verdwyn.

Maar so sal ook jou hoop, ambisies, planne en moet doen-lysies verval.

Die winste en verliese wat eens so belangrik gelyk het, sal vervaag.
Dit sal nie saak maak waar jy vandaan kom nie, of aan watter kant van die spoorlyn jy gebly het nie.
Dit sal nie saak maak of jy beeldskoon of briljant was nie.

Of jy ‘n man of vrou is, en wat die kleur van jou vel is, sal onbelangrik wees.

So, wat sal saak maak? Hoe sal die waarde van jou dae gemeet word?

Dit sal nie saak maak wat jy gekoop het nie, maar wat jy gebou het; nie wat jy het nie, maar wat jy gegee het.
Jou suksesse sal nie saak maak nie, maar wat jy vir die wêreld beteken het.

Dit sal nie saak maak wat jy geleer het nie, maar wat jy ander geleer het.

Elke daad van integriteit, medelye, moed of opoffering wat ander se lewens verryk, bemagtig of aangemoedig het om jou voorbeeld te volg, sal saak maak.
Jou bevoegdheid sal nie saak maak nie, maar jou karakter.

Dit sal nie saak maak hoeveel mense jy geken het nie, maar hoeveel mense jou vir altyd gaan mis wanneer jy weg is.
Jou herinneringe sal nie saak maak nie, maar wel die herinneringe aan jou wat sal bly voortleef in dié wat jou liefgehad het.
Dit sal saak maak hoe lank mense jou onthou, wie jou onthou en waarvoor jy onthou sal word.

Om ‘n lewe te leef wat saak maak gebeur nie per ongeluk nie. Dis nie ‘n kwessie van omstandighede nie, maar van keuse. KIES om ‘n lewe te leef wat saak maak.

Lewe terwyl jy lewe, want wie weet waar lê môre.

Waarmee is God se kindertjies besig?

In 2 Kor 12:20 sê Paulus dat hy bekommerd is oor wat hy sal vind sou hy die gemeente besoek. As God die kerk sou besoek in persoon sal dit sleg wees as Hy vers 20 se inhoud by ons sal vind : Twis, jaloersheid, toornigheid, verdeeltheid, kwaadsprekery, nuusdraery, verwaandheid en wanordelikheid.Die Here wil nie hê dat een van die goed by ons aanwesig moet wees nie, so kom ons doen ons bes met die leiding van die Heilige Gees saam om nie skuldig te wees aan een van die genoemde goed nie maar kom ons gee ons beste vir die Here. As daar nie iets goeterig is om te sê nie, sê dan eerder niks, en seën die wat jou te na kom. Mag die Here jou seën met net die beste!
