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 ... >>>

"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 ... >>>

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. . . .

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 ... >>>

Are we worse off than Sodom and Gomorrah?

NOT caring for Poor and Orphans!

Someone made the remark that Christians in SA today, are worse off than Lot’s family in Sodom and Gomorrah:

In general, Sodom’s sin is perceived to have been sexual immorality like gay’s etc., but the Scripture is clear in Ezek 16:49 that Sodom’s sin was that they did not care for the poor, (the orphans, widows and strangers (refugees)). By neglecting that care, they created a selfish culture that resulted in fruits, like sexual immorality.

One definition of poverty is: Poverty is the proof of resources maladministrated. (South Africa is the country with the second largest gap between poor and rich in the world! )

Let us address the root of the problem and be better off. Practical steps can be taken by you as a family or by your cell group to take care of an orphan.

The steps below are so easy and a good place to start.
