A weekend of the kingdom, family and friends

What a busy weekend it was. I actually can't believe Rato and I made until the end (i'm just being a tad dramatic) but it was really good.

It started on Friday when the single's had a single's devotional movie night. But what a night it was!!! I devised a plan to use the projector and 5 zillion watt amplifier (that's me exaggerating again) to produce a state of the art video/audio entertainment system. We had about 30+ singles there and food to fit the occasion. The inspirational movie we watched really hit home on how we should improve our conversation with God and each other. Not to take life for granted but pursue what makes you really happy. At the end of it, it was a great time of fellowship glorifying God for what he continues to do in our lives.

On Saturday, We had friends over with my wife cooking up a storm (as usual, the standard is high)!!! Although the conversations started a bit slow, it got more vibrant as the night progressed. The game of 30 seconds really exposes how people's minds can be so unpredictable at times. One thing that cracked me up is how to do describe the word 'people'. Well one guy has a brilliant idea by asking a question: "What do u call our species?" We all burst out laughing. Although the intention was there, the execution left something to be desired.

Sunday was time for family. We hadn't seen my family for a while so we decided to go eat at a Chinese restaurant. So much food! I felt like I was in heaven. The amazing thing about oriental food it embraces the culture of sharing. We all eat from eat others food dishes without feeling uneasy. Reminds me of the last supper on how the disciples will literally share a meal with each other.

Eventhough we felt exhausted on our way home, It was worth it.

Proverbs 1 - The dangers of Foolishness

I was reading this scripture this morning and i couldn't help feeling that I often act like this person. Thinking that I don't have to study my bible and put it into practice is compared to someone laughing at you when trouble comes to your life. It sounds cruel but God's standard was never meant to make us 'feel' good. 26 I also jwill laugh at your calamity; I will mock when kterror strikes you, 27 when terror strikes you like la storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. 28 mThen they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me. 29 Because they chated knowledge and ndid not choose the fear of the Lord,

Earnestly seek Him - Call to change

6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and mthat he rewards those who seek him. I've read this passage a thousand times and it never fails to ring sound doctrine in my heart. Too often I take it for granted that God is not pleased by mere "Lord, Lord" words coming out of my mouth. Too many times I lack effort in putting structures and plans that will drive me towards Him and His grace. I don't often ask myself "How can I grow in drawing near to God?" or "Does my life truly reflects his existence?". It's so easy to get caught up in the "pattern of this world", so easy to be "polluted by this world" David's charge to Solomon (1Chr 28) 9 “And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, zfor the Lord searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be f...

Times of refreshing

What a weekend that has just gone past! The single's ministry saw two men getting baptised on Sunday after church! What a rush!!! I had never dealt with two people baptising at the same time. Truly the bible is true when it says that "repentance brings times of refreshing". Seeing the excitement in those guys faces made me realise how blessed we are at having being "fished out" of the water at such an early age (I was 18 and my wife 14). Through his grace, I've experienced much love and much pain in his kingdom yet through it all, knowing that His Spirit can continue to guide me as long as I stay close to him. The crazy thing about yesterday was the realization that God is definitely moving amongst the churches all around Southern Africa and it felt really good to know we were making news (although small in comparison) of our own. There was almost a sense of disbelief among those who have been doubting whether God can still do miracles. My prayer and hop...
