Deuteronomy 11 - 20

God proclaims that they (and we) should do just as he com manded, not taking away and not adding to it.
God says you must follow God and him only. False prophets that go against what the law says must be put to death. We need to purge evil among us. It was everyone's duty to purge the evil. In our case, it's exclusion from the fellowship.

The people are commanded to give generously and not forget the poor people in that land because they will always be among them. Its so weird because its almost the exact scripture that is used the letter to the corinthian church.
God says that a man can only put to death on the account of two or three witnesses.
When a king is chosen (among the people) he is to write a copy of the law for himself and read it all the days of his life so that he will not veer to the left or to the right. For leader in God's eyes must be his best student.
Moses describes what a prohpet should be. Someone who proclaims the words of God in its entirety. So how do we know he's been sent.

The Word of God never returns empty-handed. It must be fulfilled.

When going to war, those who are afraid and unsure must go home or else they will discourage those in the battle as well. Same thing should apply to us today where we cannot afford to have people who are critical and indifferent about the purpose of God be workers of the harvest.

Destroy everything that breaths except. Hectic !

RE: End of Year Function 2012

Hi bros and sisters   I think people will still travel on Saturday anyway to different destinations, so they can travel to Athlone Girls for our Christmas party. Personally, I think we should do the party on Saturday as original arranged and let Sunday be exclusively reserved for our praise and worship service.   Saturday we just party and have a good time!   Kind Regards   Henry Mnguni Sales Executive   Rivonia Toyota Office:        011 275 1699 Mobile:       082 325 5593 Fax2Email: 086 242 8226   C/O Rivonia Road            & Witkoppen Rivonia Crossing Sunninghill   From: Maswuma, Nelson T [mailto:nmaswuma@beckman.com] Sent: 18 October 2012 11:24 AM To: Paulin Kantue; Barnabas Chukweke; Bertha Chukweke; Henry Mnguni; Henry Mnguni; Henry Mnguni; fatamathebula@gmail.com...

Now faith...

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." (Hebrews 11:1). Often times I believe that I have faith by what I say and think. But the more I meditate on this scripture, I see that 'being sure' comes with your body language when that situation is mentioned. You don't drop ur head; you still have a bounce in your step. Everything about you says you have a positive attitude towards that situation. "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." (Hebrews 11:6). So it goes on a step further and says without that positive attitude and bounce in your step, God will not be pleased. For the source of that confidence comes from acknowledging God's presence in our lives and Him able to do beyond what we can imagine. "Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and figuratively speaking, he did receive Is...

Affirming in Disagreement

A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare. -  Proverbs 15:1 Do you know how to affirm your spouse even when you disagree? It's a big step in learning how to have meaningful conversations. Take this example: A wife has shared that she is hurt by something her husband has done, and he responds, "I appreciate your sharing your ideas and feelings with me. Now I can understand why you could feel so hurt. If I were in your shoes, I'm sure I would feel the same way. I want you to know that I love you very much, and it hurts me to see you upset. I appreciate your being open with me." This husband has learned the art of affirming his wife even though he may not agree with her perception. Of course, he has a perspective and will eventually share it, but first, he wants his wife to know that he understands what she is saying and can identify with her pain. He is not condemning her interpretation, nor is he telling her that she should not feel up...
