Helen has a way with children. She made Ayola’s friend die with a laughter.

For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:32‭-‬33

What we need vs. God’s Kingdom.

It is not a contract or compensation like ‘we do for God and He will pay my ways.’

When we seek His Kingdom, we become free from the ways of the world.

It is like growing up at a small village following the rules of the elders, then coming to Cape Town and finding out about SA government.

When you seek His Kingdom first, we learn about how it works in Jesus’s presence, which is very different from the world.

Unless we let go the ways of the world, we will not see His Kingdom in full.

It starts with one step with Jesus.

In order to properly share Jesus’s wonderful work in Yondela’s life, we need to trace back at least one year. Many things have happened to get to this point. We can testify that her joy comes from none other than Jesus. She now has a loving family and a bright future.

So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill. As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset.
Exodus 17:10‭-‬12

Why did God linked the victory over Amalekites with Moses arms being raised?

Certainly, every bit of the victory was God’s work.

It may signifies our attitutes or hearts when God’s work/will being done in our lives.

We can’t just be ignorant and heartless expecting God to work things out for us.

In our hearts, we have to have Son of Men raised up high focusing every bit of attention on Jesus.

And we need to help each others as Aaron and Hur had done.

Let’s raise our Lord Jesus high in our hearts together.

Visited Julia and Myolo. It was a privilege to listen to what Lord has been doing in their lives through Vuku Family.

“Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.
Joshua 1:7

It was a message given to Joshua after the death of Moses. Obviously, the message needs reinterpretations through the love of Christ.

‘Obeying all the laws’ means keeping Him in our hearts and minds at all time.

‘Do not turn from it to the left or to the right’ means not to leave God’s love.

‘May be successful where ever you go’ means God’s will and plans will be done in our lives.

Let’s seek his face today.

Ya kind a stroll during a load shedding.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13

As I have been going around to the Vuku groups, what kept on coming to my heart was ‘hope’.

I’m starting to catch on what God is doing and what to come.

Someone might call it a vision, but I’d like to leave it up to God, what it will be. Yet I’m overwhelmed.

Out of what God has done in you, your family, and also in your group, I’d like us to dream and hope where our Lord is leading us. What we would be like together in the future. What would Jesus do through us.

Today, let’s take a breath and enjoy our hope in Christ.

After two hours of intense talk about her troubled daughter, she finally finds hope and smiles.

Luke 11: 2/3/4

The Lords prayer.

He said to them when you pray say.

Father hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. and lead us not into temptation.

Amen.

Praying is our need and when we pray we come near to God and something happens in our hearts and to our faith. when we pray we need to pray with a heart and mind that is empty of what we think we need to get by so that our Lord can come and fill us with his presence and lead us.

Thandokazi shared a devotion today. It is beautiful to see her reflecting herself in the verses

Now I appeal to Euodia and Syntyche. Please, because you belong to the Lord, settle your disagreement. And I ask you, my true partner, to help these two women, for they worked hard with me in telling others the Good News. They worked along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are written in the Book of Life.
Philippians 4:2‭-‬3

By Thandokazi

This verse is actually referring to each and every one of us who might have faced or have been facing the ups and downs in life it’s encouraging us to stand firm in the Lord not to be shaken by whatever situation we might be facing we should take heart and be encouraged by the good Lord.We need to encourage each other,to lift each other to hold hand in hand.We need to be united and walk tall for God is for us .Amen

This is Thando’s group. They were enjoying the meeting so much, we had to quietly leave them. It was a joyful exile.

My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
James 5:19‭-‬20

One of the important points of the Vuku Workbook is how significant and precious you are in Christ.

Many people feel they are helpless and powerless, but the truth is quite the opposite.

You are annointed with the power of the holy spirit and you have power to help and guide others who stumbles.

And when it is done in love, you will witness God’s miracle that lasts for eternity.

You are an anointed child of God.
