Instruments of grace

31 January 2012.

Luke 2:40  And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom. And the grace of God was on Him.

Many people ask, how can I grow in grace? In careful study of Scriptures we find that even Jesus grew in grace, how did He do this? The secret lies in understanding the tools of grace that God has given each of us to use and so grow. The first of these is a prayer relationship with God, where we spend time each day in prayer. This is rather a quality time than a quantity time.

The second is in the study of Scripture, to read the Bible each day and allow the Holy Spirit through revelation, reveal the meaning of the text, so that we grow in understanding of God’s word to us. The third is spending time in fellowship with other Believers, so that we share the journey of grace in our lives. This journey should not be confined to a bible study or fellowship group or worship time, but to journey with each other the daily issues of life, in friendship and support of each other. When we use these instruments with discipline and obedience we grow in grace, the more we do these things the more we grow in grace.

Be encouraged today to use the instruments of grace.

David

  

Point to ponder: Grace comes from obedience to God.

Question to consider: Are you using the instruments of grace?

Faith in difficulty

Roger Tem .... is off to study for the Ministry at the University of Pretoria. 


27 January 2012

Romans 12:12 Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

Sometimes being disappointed and disillusioned seems to be the opposite of being positive and filled with faith, yet when we are both of these it does not mean that we are negative and have no faith. It just means that what we thought would happen hasn’t, and because it hasn’t something better will take it’s place. The emotions we usually feel at times of failure are usually triggered by the passed and the way we have experienced problems and failures. This then allows our past experiences to control out future ones.

As a Christian we should be able to overcome our past, no matter how traumatic and sad it may be, not by dwelling on the past, but by looking forward. On our own we cannot do this and that is why it is so important to be in fellowship and a caring community. When we are isolated and alone we have no support other than our own intellect, so it is necessary for us to find friends that we are able to love. The more love we give them, the more love they are able to give.

Be encouraged not to loose faith in times of difficulty.

David

Point to ponder: The more love you give, the more love you get.

Stress

26 January 2012

Matthew 6:25-26 "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

Stress is something that takes us often by surprise, and because of that we seem not to recognise its source. Stress comes about because things happen for which we are not prepared, usually at the worst time, and often because we are afraid that we will not cope. We also have stress where we try our best and we are always afraid of criticism of those whom we are trying to please. No person lives a stress free life, but knowing the sources of the stress helps us to plan and understand.

We either allow the stress to control us, or we control the stress. To control the stress we use our faith, faith in Jesus Christ to help and guide us, faith in our ability no matter how good or bad, and the knowledge of past experience that helps us from repeating mistakes. Out of this we begin to cope and work through the triggers that cause the stress so that we do not allow the stress to cause anxiety and fear in our lives.

Be encouraged to look at the stress triggers in your life and allow your faith to overcome them.

  

David

Point to ponder: Bring Jesus into your stress. 

Question to consider Do you allow stress to control you?

Have faith

25 January 2012

Mark 11:22 And Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.

When we look at our needs and the situation that we are in we often look to do the things we can and then look to see what others may do to help us, and then if we see we cannot do it, we either abandon the idea, file it, or try it. Those that try are usually those with faith, and usually faith in themselves and their past experience.

Faith in God is an entirely another matter. This faith is not dependant on what we can do or what others can do, but on what God can do. Most people never sit down and ask in a situation what God can do, we live often in our daily live excluding the God factor. So when we are required to do something and your start to plan no matter how complicated the situation we need to include God in that plan. All our talent all that we are is through the grace of God. So in all things no matter how big or small we must have faith in God.

Be encouraged to have faith in God

Fear vs Faith

24 January 2012

1 Corinthians 16:13-14 Be watchful, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.

Fear is the opposite of faith, the more faith we have the less fear, the more fear we have the less faith. We also know that love drives away fear so the more we respond in love, the less fear we will encounter. So if we are filled with fear that we will not cope or that things will go wrong because they usually do then we are living in fear and not faith.

Fear is born out of the negative and faith is born out of the positive. When we are always involved with the negative we find ourselves becoming fearful of just about anything. This is very true about the world today, we are hearing very few positive messages. So when we have faith not only are we positive about the future we know that the future is going to be better than the past, because the future is in the hands of God. And God has promised to prosper us, to bless us and to love us, what better hope is there for those who believe God and trust Him?

Be encouraged today to be positive about tomorrow and so grow and build your faith.

Point to ponder: Faith overcomes fear.

Unbelief & doubt

23 January 2012

Romans 11:23 And even the others, if they do not persist in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again.

The child of idolatry is unbelief, so when we struggle with unbelief we are but idol worshippers. Many people accept that we all have moments of unbelief, we sometime also struggle with doubt. The consequence of this drawn to its logical conclusion will lead one to the rejection of the existence of God. This rejection starts with the seeds of unbelief leading to doubt and the application of human reason. This human reason views society with all the suffering, pain, greed and so on and asks the question if there is a God; how can a loving God allow this?

The counter to this is that God exists despite our unbelief or doubt, it starts with faith in God, leading to the belief of God, and that God is, therefore I am. A God that is love allows the free choice to love in return, and as a result of this free choice people choose to love money, power and self resulting in a broken and hurting society. This very society that God loves rejects the existence of God in the exercise of free choice.

God intervened in society to bring forgiveness, grace, mercy and reconciliation to Himself through Jesus Christ His Son, yet even this great gift is still rejected. Yet it through this Gift that we have hope for tomorrow, encouragement for today and peace with yesterday. You either believe God exists or you don’t, but what ever you believe cannot change the nature and presence of God.

Be encouraged to believe God.

David

Point to ponder: God exists. 

Question to consider: Do you believe God’s promises?

Be nice

20 January 2012

Acts 28:2 And the natives showed us unusual kindness, for they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, because it had begun to rain and was cold.

This coming weekend we are preparing to receive a special guest, a man that has spent time in the evangelical ministry, serving overseas who is coming to stay with us. He purpose of his stay is for us to minister into his life in the love of Jesus Christ in order for him to rest and recover. Preparing his room, fixing all the cracks, putting new curtain rails, painting the walls and ceilings, washing carpets, just making a beautiful space for him, gives us just as much pleasure as what he will have enjoying it. When we do work and make something look pretty, we make something in ourselves also pretty.

So in the way we do things, when we do it with joy, not just because it’s just a job, then that joy shines in us for others to see. Even if the person we do it for does not recognise the effort, we still enjoy the pleasure of having done something special for someone else. It is in these little practical ways that we show our care for others, and in so doing they know we are who we say we are.

Be encouraged today to do something nice for somebody else.

David

Point to ponder: When we nice to others, we are nice to ourselves. 

Question to consider: Are you known as a nice person?

God's Creation

19 January 2012

Psalms 24:1 The earth is the LORD's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein; for he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the rivers.

The skies are heavy with dark low clouds, and the lands are dark lush green from the rains that had fallen, the cool breeze rustles through the leaves of the trees, yet there is a gentle peace covering Linga Longa as people go about their daily tasks. Some of the migratory birds have arrived adding to the already prolific bird life on the property. It is awesome to truly look at God in creation and wonder at the works of His hand.

Just the other day a tail feather from a paradise flycatcher was found, two feathers out of one follicle, it just makes one think of how amazing our God really is. All of this, and He knows it all, loves it all and in a way is in it all at the same time, what a God we serve. The secret of being a Christian is to be able  to see Christ in our present time, to be able to know Him in this day, to share all we do with Him in this day. Yesterdays are gone, tomorrows yet to come, we only have this moment to experience life with Jesus.

When we understand that just as God is in creation all around us to see and enjoy, how much more does He want to share with us His living presence with us in what we are doing today. Whatever you are going to do today, make a real effort to acknowledge that Jesus is with you, doing it with you.

Be encouraged today to enjoy God’s creation but even more so enjoy God’s presence with you in your today’s.

David

Point to ponder: Jesus is with you, no matter where you are or what you do. 

  

Question to consider:  Do you enjoy God’s creation?

God speaks

18 January 2012

Isaiah 44:17-18 And the rest of it he makes into a god, his idol; and falls down to it and worships it; he prays to it and says, "Deliver me, for thou art my god!" They know not, nor do they discern; for he has shut their eyes, so that they cannot see, and their minds, so that they cannot understand.

Communication is very important no matter who you are or where you may find yourself. The message needs to sent out in regard to what is needed and required for us to live in community. There is a direct link through the word commune, with communication, community and communion, this is the place where each of us live and function. Many people do not understand this and then tend to isolate themselves from community with the result that not only do they suffer loneliness but the community is not complete because of their absence.

In the same way we need to understand that communication is often more than words, it is an attitude of expression of who we are. We use many forms of non-verbal communication and we learn from an early age how to understand this. This learning is an on-going process.

We believe in a God that speaks, that communicates with us and through us, and when we understand this we realise that we are in communion with Him, we are His community. It is necessary for us not only to listen for His voice but to also speak to Him in return, and we do this through prayer and the way we express ourselves in our daily life.

Be encouraged today to be in communion with God.

David

Point to ponder: God is no silent. 

  

Question to consider: Are you communicating?

Tomorrow's plans

17 January 2012

1 Corinthians 3:8 He who plants and he who waters are equal, and each shall receive his wages according to his labour.

Each of us are responsible for our own spirituality and we cannot expect others to take responsibility for this. In the same way each of us are responsible for our own provisions in regard to our plans for this year, next year and even our own pension plans. We do these things not because we do not trust God as our Provider but because we are required to work and plan for our next harvest. We plant the seed, but God makes it grow, in the same way we plan and God helps to make it come about.

Many people live their lives without consideration of the times when they are unable to work and afford a place to stay, they never invested in anything and often never invested in themselves. The consequence of this is that they have nothing to fall back on, this behaviour is seen in children, teens, adults and the aged. Often it is the same person that rebelled as a child, partied as a teen, avoided responsibility as an adult and ended up desperate in their old age, blaming everyone but themselves for their predicament. When throughout their lives they were told to work hard, stick it out, be responsible, they rejected all of this. How important it is to tell the next generation this so they do not make the same mistakes. In the same way there is a heaven and there is a hell, those that believe this and trust the word of God have no fear. But those that reject this live as if the consequences will ever affect them, until the day they face God’s judgement.

Be encouraged today to help others to help themselves.

David

Point to ponder: You get no harvest if you plant no seed. 

Question to consider: Have you planned for tomorrow?

Pumpkin season

16 January 2012

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth."

It seems just the other day that I planted pumpkin in the vegetable garden, and just after it started to send out its vines we had heavy hail and it seemed they were badly damaged. Nevertheless being left in the back garden not much attention was given and the leaves are large and cover a wide area, lifting the leaves is a wonderful crop of pumpkin. It seems that sometimes if you leave things alone they are able to be pumpkins without our interference.

No matter how badly damaged the plant may have been, it seems that the damage actually caused it to bear more fruit. So it would appear as people that we are inclined to think that just because a person has had a hard time, been hurt, carrying scars and often hurting wounds they are still able to bear fruit. It is the nature of pumpkins to produce pumpkins, it’s pumpkin season. Now not that you are a pumpkin, but what fruit are you busy bearing?

Be encouraged to realise that you are a fruit bearing person, no matter what you have been through or going to go through.

David

Point to ponder: You are bearing fruit even if it may be nuts. 

  

Question to consider: do you compare your fruit to others?

Crucify your old self

13 January 2012

Romans 6:6-7 We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the sinful body might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. For he who has died is freed from sin.

So many people who are Christians struggle with the old self and as result they are still under the control of sin in their lives. They have not understood that a Christian must be crucified with Jesus Christ in order to die to self and then to be resurrected to eternal life. The problem is that all their prayers and gifting has a falseness about it as they are still under the oppression of Satan.

We need to die to self, a complete death so that what we were and what we want is no longer of any meaning in our life. What now becomes important to us is that which is important to Jesus, our old agenda’s need to be replaced with a new agenda. The sadness is that so many people amend theirs to suit their own perspective of a Christian lifestyle rather than throwing the old out and replacing it with the new.

Be encouraged to examine your agenda’s and to see if it is only a modified old one based on your own selfish needs.

David

Point to ponder: He who has died is free from sin. 

Question to consider:  Are you free from sin?

Team Winners

12 January 2012

James 5:19-20 My brethren, if any one among you wanders from the truth and some one brings him back, let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

If you have the right team selection, and the plans are well laid, the field of play is not the main issue, it is the attitude of the team towards achieving its goal that is important. To do this the leadership must set the example through positive attitudes that the goals are not only attainable but that no matter what the opposition they are achievable. People enjoy supporting a winning team.

Now you may not realise it but you have been selected to be part of a team as well, and this team is there to win souls for Jesus Christ. Our problem of course is that often we are part of the team but we do not understand the plans, and what the goals are that we are expected to attain, and we do not even know who our real opposition is. The result is that we win so few souls. To change this requires us to be more active in the formulation of the game plan, develop a winning attitude in the team, with each person in the team trained and understanding what is expected of them.  With this in mind and you being part of the team, we need to get others in our team to realise that we need to start winning.

Be encouraged today to be the team motivator in your local church.

  

David

Point to ponder: we are soul winners for Jesus Christ. 

  

Question to consider: Are you developing your local team (church)?

Pray

11 January 2012

Matthew 6:6 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

One cannot lead others where one has not been oneself. Moses spent time alone in the deserts of Arabia before he led the Israelites through it. In the same way many church leaders first understand their own sins and God’s blessed mercy, before they are able to lead others to that same salvation, Jesus Christ. A church that moves forward and growing in spirituality is that which is led by those who themselves are growing in their own spirituality.

The secret to this church leadership is the prayer life of the leaders, where there is an active prayer life, there is active communion with God, no active prayer life results in no activity of the Holy Spirit in the leadership and thus no activity in the congregation.  It is more important to pray than to preach, for it is during prayer that God ministers to His ministers which empowers them to minister to others.

The beauty of prayer is not determined by style, education or position in society, but the simple desire to speak and listen to God in the privacy of the closet, that secret place within us. It is in that secret place where we are able to be vulnerable, intimate and trusting with our God who loves us and wants to reveal Himself to us.

Be encouraged to pray and encourage others to do likewise.

David

Point to ponder: We meet with God in prayer. 

  

Question to consider: Do you pray in secret to God?

Humanity in Jesus Christ

9 January 2012

Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

It is interesting to note certain observations in life and how we find that certain attitudes are repeated throughout history. In being an observer of life, we see how in order to be superior to another we have to find grounds for our superiority, be it education, money, possessions, race, religion and whatever else we may find to help us to maintain our sense of superiority.  

So we find that the Romans enslaved people and nations and always considered themselves superior, in the same way we see modern propaganda causing opinions to be formed and generalisations made which de-humanises others. This we see taking place with regards to Islam, it happened with apartheid and is happening all around the world. If a person is not like us they do not deserve to be treated like us.

When we fell from grace and left the presence of God in the Garden of Eden, we became de-humanised and all our desires became focused on self. We lost our identity as humans and we continue to do so when see others as different to us. The only way this could be restored was for God to become human, so that we would be able to become truly human again. It is in this context that God enters into each person who accepts 

His divinity and humanity in the fullness of Jesus Christ, that we become truly human again. We then see the image of God in others rather than a comparison of self and in this way we see our enemies as friends of Jesus and love them accordingly.

Be encouraged today to be a human filled with the humanity of Jesus Christ for others.

David

Point to ponder: We are human only through Jesus Christ. 

 Question to consider: Did you realise that sin de-humanises you?

One in Christ Jesus

6 January 2012

Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

How often do we see and judge people by who they are and what they do, rather than see them as our brother and sister in Christ. We are all different, even though we live in the same family we are not the same, we are unique in every way. When we start to think of people in terms of stereotyping, it becomes part the standards that divide us and allows for all sorts of tensions to come about.

When we start to look at people no matter who they are as being one in Christ with us, we change how we see people and consequently how we react to them. An example of this is when the fuel pump attendant starts to attend your church, belongs to your bible study, and is no longer a nameless extension of the petrol pump, we see that person as part of us. Why must we wait for that person to first come to our church to be like us, why can’t we see each person with the eyes of faith?

It is never easy to do this, but who ever taught you that being a Christian was easy? When we have this approach every person we see, interact with becomes to us, what they are to Christ. He lived and died for each one that they may be saved and have eternal life. We are the light of Christ to all.

Be encouraged today to see all as your brother or sister in Christ.

David

Point to ponder: We are one in Christ. 


Question to consider: Are you one with Christ and one with each other?

Yeast

5 January 2012

Mark 8:19-21 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They said to him, "Twelve." "And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" And they said to him, "Seven." And he said to them, "Do you not yet understand?"

To bake bread you use yeast that you put into the bread and the yeast then grows and it releases carbon dioxide that then causes the bread to rise. To ensure that you always have a supply of yeast, you keep the yeast in a bottle and when you need it you pour the water with the yeast into the dough. It only takes a little yeast to cause the dough to rise.

When Jesus was talking to the disciples he had just taught them about the yeast of the Pharisees and how just a little bad teaching results in God’s way being thwarted. When the disciples complain they only have one old loaf of bread, He then reminds them of how He fed the thousands of hungry and there was plenty left over to be gathered up. When Jesus is involved, He takes the very little and makes it enough and to spare.

The question to you and I that Jesus asked, ‘do you understand?’ is just as valid for us as it was to the disciples then. When we have the right yeast in our life ( Jesus ) then we will grow and even have enough to spare for others, but when we expose ourselves to the wrong teachings and do not have Jesus in our life, we can never produce anything.

Be encouraged to have the yeast of Jesus Christ in your life that you can grow beyond your expectations.

David

Point to ponder: Jesus can make anything enough. 

  

Question to consider: Have you asked Jesus to make what you have enough?

Learn a new thing

4 January 2012

Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Life is about learning new things, no matter what the day brings we should all experience something new in each day. It is when we have this expectation that we will find something new in each day and we start to see the adventure in each day. Something’s we learn are positive and have a positive influence on us, others are negative and have a negative influence on us. But no matter what we learn and from this the knowledge we gain, makes us more interesting to ourselves and to others.

For my own experience I now know what a tick bite really looks like when one is bitten by an infected tick.  Just before Christmas I was cutting the long grass at the entrance to Linga-Longa and a tick bit me just below my knee. It was just as well that I went to the doctor and started the medication. Thank the Lord I am OK, none the worse for the experience, but a lot wiser when it comes to tick bites. If only all our experiences of the negative turns out OK, then what a learning curve we are on!

We do not always see the ticks that bite us, and I suppose we do not always recognise the ticks that we meet in life. We need to learn from experience how to avoid them and so keep our life and lifestyle more healthy.

Be encouraged to learn a new thing every day, it makes a better you.

David

Point to ponder: God’s blessings are new every morning. 

  

Question to consider: Do you want to learn a new thing every day?

Happy New Year

3 January 2012

Leviticus 16:20-22 And when he has made an end of atoning for the holy place and the tent of meeting and the altar, he shall present the live goat; and Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the people of Israel, and all their transgressions, all their sins; and he shall put them upon the head of the goat, and send him away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who is in readiness. The goat shall bear all their iniquities upon him to a solitary land; and he shall let the goat go in the wilderness.

At the beginning of a New Year it is good to focus on a new start, with expectations and hope that what this year brings will be filled with blessings. The period between Christmas and New Year has always been an opportunity when I clean and tidy preparing everything so that I start the New Year with a fresh outlook. The old has gone the new has arrived and this fills me with a purpose that in the last year seems to have faded.

So from me to you I wish you the very best for this year. In this coming year we will be inundated with memories of the long gone past, and in bringing these memories we are reminded both of the good and the bad times. Sadly for many they cannot remember the bad times without experiencing the pain of those memories and so never heal and truly reconcile. That is why each year in the Old Testament the sin of the past years were placed on the sacrificial goat, and the goat was chased out of town. So we should each year place all our bad memories on our goats and also send them packing. We have to much to look forward to without pondering and dwelling in the past.

Be encouraged today to be filled with hope that this year is the year that all will be fulfilled in our lives.

David

Point to ponder: God is the rock of our future. 

 Question to consider: Are you stuck in the past?

New Year Resolutions ... Pastor Solomon's sermon

Readings: Psalms 126              Philippians 3:12-4:1   

Introduction

Today is the beginning of a new year.  2011 has gone and now we need to focus on 2012. In focusing on 2012 we set new resolutions for the year. How was 2011 for you? Maybe 2011 was not a good year for you. This Life is full of things that try to push us down. We all face disappointments and setbacks. Maybe things did not go how you wanted. Maybe you received some bad news about your health or perhaps a relationship didn’t work out. That was a setback. It’s easy to get discouraged or lose your enthusiasm or even be tempted to just settle where you are.

But if we’re going to see God’s best, we have to have a “bounce back” mentality. That means when you get knocked down, you don’t stay down. You get back up again. You have to know that every time adversity comes against you, it’s a setup for a comeback!

Remember, as a believer in Jesus, the same power that raised Christ from the dead lives on the inside of you. There is no challenge too difficult, no obstacle too high, no sickness, no disappointment, no person, nothing that can keep you from your God-given destiny.

Do you have a resolution for this year? St Mark’s leadership have resolved this year to be a growing congregational; spiritually and in numbers.

As believers who belong to St Mark’s congregation, you are privileged. Let me suggest that you give prayerful consideration to the following.

·  Let us resolve to forget the past and to honor God more in 2012!

“Beloved, I do not consider that I have made it my own; but this one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 3:13 – 14).

·  Let us resolve to live for Christ before the world!

“For to me, living is Christ and dying is gain.” (Phil. 1:21).

·  Let us resolve to trust God with a strong faith!

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Heb. 11:1).

·  Let us resolve to be faithful in worship!

“not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” (Heb. 10:25).

·  Let us resolve to honor God with our income!

“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. ” (Mal. 3:10).

·  Let us resolve to bear one another’s burdens!

“Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” (Gal. 6:2).

·  Let us resolve to faithfully witness to the unsaved!

“Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.  6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him. (Ps. 126:5 – 6).

Conclusion

Brothers and sisters, my prayer is that the year 2012 should be the year of success and prosperity. The old has passed away and God has planned for you good plans to prosper you.

Do you want to have good life? If you stay in faith, then God will turn what was meant to be a stumbling block into a stepping stone, and you’ll move forward in strength, full of faith and victory!

God can set you up for success in everything you do. Choose today to trust Him and rely on Him for 2012.

Our best days are coming and look ahead to the blessings God have in store for us.
