KIDS FOR CHRIST BIBLE CLUB

TSHWANE DISTRICT MINISTER’S MEETING REALISED

At last, the meeting for the District of Tshwane under Pastor Mabunda had been realized. This meeting was initially arranged to be held on the 23 May 2009, but it was postponed for the 30th May 2009 because on the 23 May we were to launch a “Kids for Christ Bible Club” at Westside Christian Fellowship Assembly.

On the 30th May 2009, the meeting was postponed once again to the 13th May 2009. One of the pastors at block GG Assembly, Pastor Maila passed away.

The 6th of June was a National Minister’s meeting for the Districts.

Today, 13 June 2009, the Tshwane District meeting had been successful. Thank God. Everything was in His plans.

A PHOTO COPYING MACHINE DONATED TO OUR CHURCH FROM GESTETNER COMPANY

We thank God for the gift of a photocopying Machine donated to our church by the Gestetner Company. A proposal was written a month ago by Ps. Mabunda requesting for such a gift. Our church is busy with community projects and we needed the copy machine to run our work smoothly.

God heard our prayers, and today we have our own photocopying machine with a facsimile; a printer and a scanner in one.

Praise be to God. We want to ensure the company that we will put it into good use.

GOOD NEWS OF SALVATION

The doctrine of the trinity

Isaiah 61:1-3

61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

Jesus began His Ministry by quoting these verse, (Luke 4:18-19)

18 “The Spirit of the lord is upon me, because he has chosen me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind; to set free the oppressed

19 and announce that the time has come when the Lord will save his people.”

Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit to;

Preach the Gospel of Salvation to the poor, the meek and the afflicted.

Healing and binding up the spiritually and physically sick and broken hearted.

Breaking the bonds of evil and proclaiming freedom from sin and satanic dominion.

Opening the spiritually eyes of the lost that they might see the light of the gospel and be saved.

GOD’S COVENANT WITH MAN

COVENANT

Abram prayed to God for an heir.

Abram had faith; prayer comes with faith.

Abram believed the promise God has made.

When we read the scripture we realize that, Abram approached God for guidance. When hope is gone; when you feel weary and hopeless, you need to approach God for guidance.

God gave Abram guidance for he approached Him. God made a covenant with Abram using 5 animals.

These animals represented the times of worship.

Abram did not understand the covenant.

That’s what happens to us. Sometimes we do not understand the covenant that God want to make with us.

The birds of prey represent the devil/enemy

In whatever we are doing we must be aware that the enemy will attack us; but we need to know that we are not alone.

A covenant was made in Calvary and nothing will stand our away. As long as we follow God’s instructions, God will always be with us.

WORD OF THOUGHT

Genesis 15:1-15

1 after this, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: “Do not be afraid Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.”

2 But Abram said, “O sovereign Lord, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?”

3 And Abram said, “You have given me no child; so a servant in my household will be my heir.”

4 Then the word of the Lord came to him: “This man will not be your heir, but a son coming from your own body will be your heir.”

5 He took him outside and said, “Look up at the heavens and count the stars – if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”

6 Abram believed the Lord and he credited it to him as righteousness.

7 He also said to him, “I am the Lord, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to take possession of it.”

8 But Abram said, “O Sovereign Lord, how can I know that I will gain possession of it?”

9 So the Lord said to him, “Bring me a heifer, a goat and a ram, each three years old, along with a dove and a young pigeon.”

10 Abram brought all these to him, cut them and arranged the halves opposite each other; the birds, however he did not cut in half.

11 Then birds of prey came down on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.

12 as the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and a thick and dreadful darkness came over him.

13 Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years.

14 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions.

15 You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a good old age.
