Stay prayed up ( #StayPrayedUp)

 by Mduduzi Maseko  Prayer connects, breaks, protects, and frees and impacts a whole lot of things in your life. It does not matter where you are prayer is one thing that must be in your vocabulary, do not wait for that moment where you are in a closet alone and pray privately although this is important you also need to get used to praying in any environment. Don’t worry about what you are going to say the Holy spirit will guide and lead you, never feel pressurized by the people you watch praying on your television or those who are called to pray on the mic in your church using fancy terminology and lengthy prayers, stick to what you know and your mother tongue works very well because you get to understand what you are saying. I have seen many incidences where an old prayer saved my life, I have found myself in places or situations wherein I could not pray but my prayer bank was adequately loaded, I saw the Lord coming through for me, and those prayers actually started...

The Beast out of the Earth

  The Beast out of the Earth 11  Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon.   12  It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.   13  And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people.   14  Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.   15  The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.   16  It also forced all people, great and small,...

Religion and spirituality

  For thousands of years humans have embarked on a spiritual expedition to seek for their true selves in the face of the earth, in this quest, most find themselves searching in the incorrect paradigm. As a spiritual person myself I once found myself searching in the incorrect place. How do we answer this simple yet complex questions? ·          Who am I? ·          What do I want to? ·          What is my purpose? ·          What is the meaning of life? The answers to this question depend on someone’s appetite to receiving the truth and guidance as far as the question of religion and spirituality is concerned. Religion will direct you to a paper explanation of the above questions, probably direct you to so many research documents and more studying with a possibility of confusion. But Spirituality will conne...

Ngahlala eNkosini.

 Ngahlala kunjalo, kunzima, indlela ikhuphukela kepha ngahlala. Uma abantu bathi kufanele ngibone ngamanye amehlo mina ngakhetha ukuhlala eNkosini kunzima kunjalo.  Ngamkhoza ngingaboni umphumela, ngahlala kuye nginga naso isihlalo, ngathatha ithemba lami lonke ngalibeka kuye. uJehova umalusi wami ngamkhonza kunzima empilweni yami.

UJehova ungumelusi wami angiyokweswela lutho ugqoba ikhamda lami ngama futha kamoya indebe yami i chichima izibusiso.

We all have our opinions on masks.

We all have our opinions on masks and all the conspiracies behind COVID-19.  The truth is none of us know the true impact of the virus, what is safe and what is not, or whether wearing a mask helps slow the spread.   All we can do is listen to our healthcare experts, who spent years earning a degree and studying to learn what they know.  The pandemic we are facing is new and never been experienced by anyone living whether a healthcare expert, political figure, school administrator, preacher, or Facebook specialist.   We all have our reservations about how reliable the numbers are or is there a political agenda behind this, but one thing I do know is the virus is real and it is in South Africa  and all around us.   We are all facing uncertainties that have many unknowns and many of us don’t know what to believe anymore including myself, but today I'm being told that a mask might help slow the spread so I will mask up for my elderly grandmother...

The Dark Truth of Valentine’s Day-

Should followers of Christ Jesus celebrate the Feast of the Wolf, known as Saint Valentine’s Day? Do professing believers really understand that if they recognize Lupercalia, or participate in the annual celebration of this ancient pagan festival of lust, that they are in no way pleasing God?   Do believers really know about the origins of this unholy holiday and that it was promoted through the ages by Papal Caesars, who fully adopted and carried on the lascivious rituals of heathen nations? Shouldn't the disciples of Jesus today heed God’s warning to NOT adopt CUSTOMS used to worship or honor false gods? Why DO Christians observe this day with other unbelievers? Valentine’s Day is not just an innocent Hallmark holiday.  A study of ancient history will reveal that ancient heathen nations, who had fallen under Roman rule, had begun to adopt the hodgepodge state religion of Rome, during the reign of Constantine the Great, however, they weren’t anywhere close to agreeing to aban...

Faith, a Principle of Action and Power

LOCAL PRIESTHOOD LEADER MESSAGE  Elder Dunstan G. B. T. Chadambuka, Area Seventy    'It took us exactly eight days from the day we met the missionary couple to the day we were baptized.'  Towards year end of 1989, a friend of mine, Gregory Mutete, came home in our then small township of Dangamvura — situated in Mutare, Zimbabwe. He reported to me and Christopher Bangwayo — our other friend — that he had secured employment as a gardener from a missionary couple named Grant and Sharol Wilson. They had offered him a book called the Book of Mormon, but he had refused to take it — wanting first to confirm with the two of us. As a group of three tightly knit teenage friends, we all had to agree before deciding to embark on any form of adventure, which we believed this was going to be. Little did we know that this was a beginning of a journey that would try our faith to the limit. We were skeptical about these missionaries — based on the lessons we had received in scho...

Spirit Empowered

The church is to be a Spirit-empowered evangelistic people on mission in the world, passionate to see lost people meet Jesus Christ as Savior, God, and Lord. Any church submitting to the Holy Spirit and obedient to Scripture wants fewer divorces, addictions, thefts, and abuses and knows the only way to see that happen is to make more disciples. The church loves people and is continually and painfully aware of the devastation that is wrought in this life and in the life to come for those who are not reconciled to God. Therefore, while not imposing religion on anyone, the church of Jesus Christ is to constantly be proposing reconciliation with God to everyone.

In these trying times don’t compromise your faith.

  The dissemination of information Is not one dimensional in the things of the Lord Jesus Christ, often in times, we read about situations were God used inconspicuous people in the bible to advance his purposes about different situations, from David to Gideon, we saw God using his hand immensely in this regard to fulfilling his purposes. Many people have ignored the voice of the Lord speaking into their lives because of the pseudo perceptions that only prophets can hear and disseminate information from God. The bible says in Acts 2:17 “In the last days, says God, I will pour out my Spirit on all people ” . This is the spirit that allows God to speak into your life and other divine interventions concerning your life. Never in your life ignore the voice of the Lord because of self-doubt. In these last days be warned to never follow the popular opinion because the repercussions are death and pain eternally. Many people have made money the center of it all to a degree that they...
