We had a very successful Finance 101 workshop presented by UJ lecturer and Chartered Accountant, Jelvin Griffioen.
SERMON 6 JUNE: Pastor Ben reminded us how important it is
to HEAR God.
The Lord speaks in mysterious ways. We all
need to acknowledge that it is time to listen and hear His voice here and now.
Listen actively. Listen intentionally. Do not miss the opportunities to be in
God’s presence. Or take it for granted.
In these dreary times where uncertainty prevails, who and where are we to turn to?
Jesus
Christ.
He
loves us just the way we are. No imperfection, sin, disappointment is too big
for Him. Jesus Christ sees us in the divine light that we often struggle to
perceive ourselves in.
God
also never bears any grudges. Jesus Christ’s final sacrifice on earth made it
possible for him to forgive and forget on a level that is beyond all human
comprehension.
May
you always remember that we have a heavenly Father who loves us deeply and
profoundly. And even if you wander astray like the prodigal son, He will always
be ready to welcome you back into his loving arms. Pray, read the bible, delve
deeper into who God is, but most importantly seek to build a Father-son, Father-daughter
with your divine Father.
May
the Lord bless and keep you this week and may you never forget that your
heavenly Father loves you deeply!
SUNDAY 23 MAY:
The Presence of
the Holy Spirt, our Helper.
Sermon by Phopi
Ramavhoya
The
Holy Spirit lives inside all of us. This is something we should always cherish
and remember.
Why?
The
Holy Spirit allows us to be who we are supposed to be in God’s eyes.
Jesus
Christ poured out his Holy Spirit for all of us before leaving earth.
This
was the miracle to top all miracles because it allowed his followers to become
who they are truly meant to be through guidance of His Holy Spirit.
Transfer
all your worries, fears, sadness, stress to the Lord our Saviour. Let go and
Let God !
Read
and repeat this wonderful prayer to start your week and witness the wonders God
will do for and through you:
Lord, thank You for sending your Holy Spirit.
I am grateful for your Word into my heart this week.
Holy Spirit, continue to work in me.
I surrender my will to you today.
I surrender my agenda, plans and goals.
I hand over my concerns and burdens to you.
I choose to trust you for my daily bread and accept with
joy that you are working out good for my life.
Amen.
Have a lovely, productive, exciting and blessed week !

In these chaotic times of Covid, corruption and contagion in
the form of bacteria, absurdity and crazy conservatism, what are we supposed to
do?
The answer is both simple and complex.
Pray and leave all your worries in the hands of our Heavenly
Father. Trust Him, He’s got this!
To rejoice in the Name of the Lord is a choice. We live out
this choice daily through prayer and
Bible study. Prayer is not only a way of asking God for things. It is a way of
building a relationship with God. Through prayer we strengthen our bonds with
Christ, the Living Victor.
Best of all is the fact that Jesus made it possible for us
to communicate with God in a way where we could truly be ourselves without fear
of rejection or judgment.
Our human need for prayer is sacred and should never be
taken for granted.
Love for Christ and our fellow man compels us to pray every
day.
Always remember: we
are made worthy through Christ who died for all our sins. God will always
answer our prayers (in His way and in His time). He wants a loving relationship
with us.
May this piece inspire you to connect with God as deeply and
truly as you need to.
God Bless you and may this week be filled with God’s
unwavering grace, kindness and mercy!
Daniel Greeff
