Traumatic Traits of Fatherless Men

Fatherless menThere is a dearth of fatherlessness in the world and in the church today. The emotional and spiritual effects of this have been nothing less than catastrophic! The following are some of the symptoms of fatherlessness. (This can be applied to both natural and spiritual fathers.)

I. There is an insecurity and/or a sense of inferiority because of neglect, lack of affirmation, or abandonment


Some men continually walk around with insecurities that negatively impact the way they relate in business, ministry, and marriage. They never fully trust their abilities and hence, they don’t always trust others around them to do the right thing towards them. This sense of inferiority causes them to try to hide their low self-esteem by projecting a machismo persona full of confidence, but inside their souls they are always afraid. . . . Read More ... >>>

Lessons learned, Testimony and final Report:The Ultimate Goal (TUG) Msunduzi (Pietrmaritzburg) regarding the various outreaches during the Soccer World Cup 2010.

Lessons learnedJaco shared this detailed document with us on request.

There is so much to learn from this experience. This is a typical city reach initiative and one cannot help to see the growing pains while the Lord uses initiatives like these to restore His cty church as God prophetically declared through the prophets.

TUG: Is this FIFA world cup part of the Lord’s Plan for HIS Bride to shine?

The Ultimate Goal

As soccer is not part of normal church life, this is a relevant question.

There are however some other Kingdom pointers as stated below:

Every Christian needs to ask some of these questions:

  • Are we ready to seize this opportunity, and to e.g. put a life coach in the lives of our orphans via soccer coaching. (We know how the Lord feels about fathering His orphans)
  • Can we not use this opportunity and reach out to our own youth, those in the neighbourhood and even the visitors during the extra long holidays?

TUG which stands for the The Ultimate Goal aims to join hands and equip each congregation and Christian to DO something during this world cup  time:

What an opportunity we have to work together!

The Power of Love

The power of Love

Recently, as many of you know, my laptop was destroyed - run over by a semi. People have been curious about how it happened, but the question in my head wasn't how, but why? Why did it happen? The Lord warned me months before that there was going to be an attack against my laptop. I know, it sounds odd, but that is the truth. So, I was very careful to backup and copy everything of any importance.

However, the question "why" still harassed me for weeks after it happened and heavy sadness settled on me. I sought the Lord about it . . . Read More ... >>>

The Silent Harvest

VISION:  What could happen  INSIDE your UNSAVED FAMILY MEMEBER ON DEATH bedby Francis Frangipane www.frangipane.org


A few years ago, I had a dream in which I found myself inside the mind of a dying man. The man had been in a coma for some time; his family had been praying, but they did not know whether or not he had accepted Christ. All they were sure of is that, throughout his life, he had resisted their efforts to lead him to Christ.

In the dream, I became so acutely aware of the man's state of mind that his thoughts, feelings and struggles almost seemed my own. Although his eyes were nearly closed and his vision clouded, he could see his loved ones at his bedside. I watched as he tried to reach toward his family, but outwardly his arm never lifted. Perceiving his thoughts, I heard him speak . . . Read More ... >>>

"Recovering YOU from the Enemy!"

The only thing that was ever "stolen" from you was YOU.The only thing that was ever "stolen" from you was YOU. The enemy never took a thing from you. He didn't take your family. He didn't take your car. He didn't steal your job. If you never knew YOU "you never owned a thing." And if you never truly knew God, "you never truly knew YOU!"

Any material that is given to a "unknown or unidentified identity" is a loss waiting to happen. This biggest challenge of the soul is to rightly identify ones self. Many live in this generation "unknown, unborn, unfulfilled, and unrealized!" Whenever there is an existence without the knowledge of God and His Kingdom, "you have not yet arrived!"

The Kingdom will create an Awakening that will compel the heart to seek for God, which therefore will seek for itself also. Finding God "will also find YOU!" Jesus is the Way to God "which is also the way to YOU!" When you discover YOU, and recover YOU, then YOU will finally be able to worship the Lord. The greatest form of worship is not mere singing or the raising of the hands. The greatest form of worship "is imitation!" When you discover who YOU are, . . . Read More ... >>>

Three Transitions in Life We all Should Make

imageThere are three key transitions that all of us must make in order to realize our full created purpose. Consider each of these transitions and where you may be located in the process. Then, think about what you must believe and do in order to move into the next phase of life.

These three transitions are...

  • Moving from Survival to Security: This is achieved by what you GAIN.
  • Moving from Security to Success: This is possible by discovering your GIFTS.

Starting a "Place of Safety" can be dangerous, but now there is room for others to come on board!

Starting out HTML clipboard In the November newsletter of OrhanAid  we  heard about the unexpected challenges as they started up their new Place of Safety.
Much can be learned from them as they manage this project to help open doors for other Kingdom builders. They are encouraged as more people start to work together.
Below an excerp from www.OrphanAid.co.za 's November 2008 newsletter, that includes this beautiful rainbow remark: "Springside is a bit like the UN as it is full of people from every tribe and nation, it's wonderful - a real reflection of God's Kingdom.

Our orphans could dream again, on their special camp before Christmas

OVC Camp 1-4 December 2008I have a dream...  Do you have a dream?  What a privilege it is to have this question and this challenge put to you when you are 6 or 10 or 15 years old.  It is a question that makes the mind create vision and hope for the future.  On our annual Orphans and Vulnerable Children's Camp we presented this peep into their own futures to 58 children aged between 6 and 15.  A brave policeman stood up inside the body of a 7-year old.  A doctor who makes a difference began to grow in the mind of a 12-year old. . . .

The Missing Ingredient

Missing LOVEby Chip Brogden www.theschoolofchrist.org

"And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved" (II Corinthians 12:15).

Besides prayer, no other subject has been talked about more and practiced less than the subject of loving one another. We all know we are supposed to love one another. We have heard it preached a thousand times. But there is a difference between knowing the Path and walking the Path.

I want to speak specifically to the issue of love as it relates to "ministry". That word "ministry" is a loaded word now, and we really need to question someone when they use that word so we can find out what they really mean. I think most people will agree that what passes for "ministry" these days is something very far removed from the ministry practiced in the New Testament. And I am not referring to some kind of method or technique that they practiced. The "missing ingredient" is not something so superficial as meeting in homes versus meeting in buildings. How far we have fallen to think that the secret of New Testament life is found in some way of conducting a meeting.

Betrayed by Trust

Betrayed by TrustThose who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. Psalm 125:1, NIV

 

When Bryan, our youngest son, was just a small boy, he asked his dad to put him on top of a large seven-foot-high concrete platform at the library. Eddie did so. After a few minutes, Eddie reached out his hands and said, "Jump, Bryan! Daddy will catch you." Bryan was not so sure. Eddie said again, "Jump, son. I won’t let you fall. You can trust me to catch you." Cautiously, but obediently, Bryan jumped into his daddy’s arms.

About four months later, Bryan was climbing a tree at a park. When it was time to go, Eddie reached out his arms to Bryan and quietly said, “Jump.” To Eddie’s astonishment, Bryan joyfully jumped into the arms of his loving father.

Most of the disappointment and pain we have suffered have come from misplaced trust. We have loved God and trusted people. Some of those people have violated our trust. Now we must learn to trust God and love people!1 Beyond the Veil, pgs 125-126

Facing the world's five evil giants!

Facin 5 Giants together to bring peaceBy Rick and Kay Warren

The world is full of problems. Some are small and some are huge. As Kay and I considered the problems facing the world today, we concluded there are five giants -- five pervasive problems that affect billions of people.

These are the ones we want to tackle, believing God gets the most glory when we attack the biggest giants. These problems are so huge that they can only be addressed with total dependence on God and with all of us -- your congregation and mine, Christians all around the world -- working together to confront them.

ITS A TIME TO THINK SMALL - Yes apply the "raindrop principle" in the Kingdom

The Kingdom's "Raindrop Principle"The ways of the kingdom are opposite to the ways of the world. The world says get a vision, think big, set goals, use techniques to build your kingdom (or church).

The way of God's kingdom is different; act in small ways, walk in faith, listen to the voice of God, let Him build His Church.

As individuals He wants us to act small – but together as a corporate body.


It’s the raindrop principle; an ocean is made up of billions of connected rain drops, so with the kingdom of God – you are like a rain drop so do rain drop stuff, to refresh & bring life to others!

 


Yes the words above is the essence of one of the thoughts that Garry share about Kingdom living. (I will include Garry's text at the bottom.)

 

This thought still keeps me busy and the Holy Spirit, constantly reminds me of it, the last few months. If this happens I knew there is more to it, than what meets the eye.

It is the same idea, when Uncle Angus at MMC 08, asked us to "start small", in your family, with your children. . . . Read More ... >>>
