Dont ignore your Bible. This is a crucial time to READ and FIND!

2011-07-08T06:16:00.001-07:00

Unto the justified and sanctified – the Spirit says come my sons (The Bride- The Body) into the Holy Place of my Presence and live in my holy environment while I process and empower you meet for the Wedding Feast where you shall behold the LORD Bridegroom, The firstborn of the resurrection, His holy Christ. FACE-TO-FACE.

‘Thy words have been found, and I eat them, And Thy word is to me for a joy, And for the rejoicing of my heart, For Thy name is called on me, O Jehovah, God of Hosts.’ Jeremiah 15:16

We must needs go into the Holy Place, we the elected of God. There we shall surely find food for our souls – The Table of Shewbread is laid before us. The Master of the Universe did say that He was the GREAT ‘I AM’ when we did not know him (YHWH= the unseen God) and after we saw His likeness in the flesh - Jesus (Yahushua); He confidently revealed to us that He IS the BREAD of LIFE. So to enter into this glorious Eternal life realm as king-priests beyond the Veil we MUST : PRAY over the Word of God; Ponder the Word of God; PRESERVE the Word of God; PRACTICE the Word of God and PROCLAIM, PREACH & PROPOGATE the Word of God.

Alas so few can say like our Apostle Paul (Messenger to the Gentiles) in 1 Corinthians 2:2 – Webster's Bible Translation ‘For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.’

Barnes Notes on the Bible.
For I determined - I made a resolution. This was my fixed, deliberate purpose when I came there. It was not a matter of accident, or chance, that I made Christ my great and constant theme, but it was my deliberate purpose. It is to be recollected that Paul made this resolution, knowing the special fondness of the Greeks for subtle disquisitions, and for graceful and finished elocution; that he formed it when his own mind, as we may judge from his writings, was strongly inclined by nature to an abstruse and metaphysical kind of discussion, which could not have failed to attract the attention of the acute and subtle reasoners of Greece; and that he made it when he must have been fully aware that the theme which he had chosen to dwell upon would be certain to excite derision and contempt. Yet he formed, and adhered to this resolution, though it might expose him to contempt; and though they might reject and despise his message.

Not to know - The word "know" here εἰδέναι eidenai is used probably in the sense of "attend to, be engaged in, or regard." I resolved not to give my time and attention while among you to the laws and traditions of the Jews; to your orators, philosophers, and poets; to the beauty of your architecture or statuary; to a contemplation of your customs and laws, but to attend to this only - making known the cross of Christ. The word εἰδω eidō to know, is sometimes thus used. Paul says that he designed that this should be the only thing on which his mind should be fixed; the only object of his attention; the only object there upon which he sought that knowledge should be diffused. Doddridge renders it "appear to know."

Anything among you - Anything while I was with you. Or, anything that may exist; among you, and that may be objects of interest to you. I resolved to know nothing of it, whatever it might be. The former is probably the correct interpretation.

Save Jesus Christ - Except Jesus Christ. This is the only thing of which I purposed to have any knowledge among you.

And him crucified - Or, "even καί kai him that was crucified." He resolved not only to make the "Messiah" the grand object of his knowledge and attention there, but even a "crucified" Messiah; to maintain the doctrine that the Messiah was to be crucified for the sins of the world; and that he who had been crucified was in fact the Messiah. See the note at 1 Corinthians 1:23. We may remark here:

(1) That this should be the resolution of every minister of the gospel. This is his business. It is not to be a politician; not to engage in the strifes and controversies of people; it is not to be a good farmer, or scholar merely; not to mingle with his people in festive circles and enjoyments; not to be a man of taste and philosophy, and distinguished mainly for refinement of manners; not to be a profound philosopher or metaphysician, but to make Christ crucified the grand object of his attention, and seek always and everywhere to make him known.

(2) He is not to be ashamed anywhere of the humbling doctrine that Christ was crucified. In this he is to glory. Though the world may ridicule; though philosophers may sneer; though the rich and the frivolous may deride it, yet this is to be the grand object of interest to him, and at no time, and "in no society" is he to be ashamed of it!

(3) It matters not what are the amusements of society around him; that fields of science, of gain, or ambition, are open before him, the minister of Christ is to know Christ and him crucified alone. If he cultivates science, it is to be that he may the more successfully explain and vindicate the gospel. If he becomes in any manner familiar with the works of art, and of taste, it is that he may more successfully show to those who cultivate them, the superior beauty and excellency of the cross. If he studies the plans and the employments of people, it is that he may more successfully meet them in those plans, and more successfully speak to them of the great plan of redemption.

(4) The preaching of the cross is the only kind of preaching that will be attended with success. That which has in it much respecting the divine mission, the dignity, the works, the doctrines, the person, and the atonement of Christ, will be successful. So it was in the time of the apostles; so it was in the Reformation; so it was in the Moravian missions; so it has been in all revivals of religion. There is a power about that kind of preaching which philosophy and human reason have not. "Christ is God's great ordinance" for the salvation of the world; and we meet the crimes and alleviate the woes of the world, just in proportion as we hold the cross up as appointed to overcome the one, and to pour the balm of consolation into the other.

Setting the Church on HOLY GHOST & FIRE!

2011-06-09T00:45:00.000-07:00

The more soaking prayer in the Spirit of Holiness – the more the local church is going to EXPERIENCE DIVINE ENCOUNTERS & HABITATION and SPIRITUAL BREAKTHROUGHS! Pst Mannie will be re-igniting Fortnightly Corporate Prayer Meetings in MOTALA HEIGHTS while at MARIANNHILL we will be initiating Saturday Sunrise OPEN-HOUSE Prayers at 6-7am. Let’s take this CITY for the LORD-GOD ALMIGHTY in the ‘the power of agreement’ through JESUS CHRIST our HIGH PRIEST and INTERCESSOR in prayer’.

Very frequently in the Bible the HOLY SPIRIT is related to FIRE. This was so concerning John the Baptizer in Luke 3:16 "John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: He shall baptize you with the HOLY SPIRIT and with FIRE."

The HOLY SPIRIT was likened unto FIRE at Pentecost. Acts 2:3 "And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of FIRE, and it sat upon each of them."

The cleansing power of the HOLY SPIRIT was symbolized by FIRE in Isaiah 6:6-7 "Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged."

We find His ministers are made a flame of FIRE. Hebrews 1:7 "And of the angels He saith, Who maketh His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of FIRE."

The Word of God was as FIRE in the bones of Jeremiah. Jeremiah 20:9 "Then I said, I will not make mention of Him, nor speak any more of His name. But His Word was in mine heart as a burning FIRE shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forebearing, and I could not stay."

David said that while he was musing, the FIRE burned. Psalm 39:3 "My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the FIRE burned: then spake I with my tongue."

Factually then, the HOLY SPIRIT appears by FIRE. When God accepted a sacrifice, He showed His pleasure by sending FIRE to consume the sacrifice. I Chronicles 21:26 "And David built there and altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt-offering and peace-offerings, and called upon the Lord; and He answered him from Heaven by FIRE upon the altar of burnt-offering."

This is what happened to Cain and Abel. They knew that God accepted Abel's sacrifice because He consumed it by FIRE. This why Elijah prayed for FIRE to consume the sacrifice on Mt. Carmel. This is no doubt the way that God showed His acceptance of the sacrifice on the Day of Atonement.

There was another FIRE in the Bible. This FIRE was provided by God. Leviticus 6:12 "And the FIRE upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt-offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace-offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace-offering." It was the FIRE upon the altar in the courtyard of the tabernacle. It was always to burn. Leviticus 6:1 "The FIRE shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out."

Coals from this FIRE were taken to the altar of incense. Leviticus 16:12-13 "And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of FIRE from off the altar before the Lord, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vial: and he shall put the incense upon the FIRE before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not."

The altar of incense was the last piece of furniture in the tabernacle before entering though the veil to the Holy of Holies. This incense sending its fragrance heavenward was a beautiful symbol of the prayer life of the child of God. Notice that this symbol of prayer must come from the burning coals of the altar where the lamb was slain. God is telling us that there is no way to come to Him, even in prayer, unless we come through the Lamb of God, even Jesus, Who shed His blood for our sins.
Jude 1:20 ‘But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. AJS
FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! Fire fall on me – like on the Day of Pentecost! FIRE fall on me.

A PROGRAM SHIFT from EVENTS to RELATIONSHIPS.

2011-05-30T00:49:00.000-07:00

2 of 7 Strategic Shifts for the 21st Century Church of Jesus Christ)
In my personal observation and experience –Today’s church is losing its warmth, joy, sincerity and friendliness. We have become Sunday morning acquaintances! Moreover the banner over many-a-gathering is ‘ICHABOD’. The Glory of Holy Spirit has departed in grief. Instead of being people-sensitive, we tend to be more events driven.

Most of us leaders just hold meaningless exercises without praying about them; don’t even spread it out to a team endeavour nor even take time to assess or evaluate its impact on the church group or the community at large. Then . . . most of us church-folk today just attend the gatherings and wait for the ‘home-time siren’ to silently sound to hop, skip and jump into our cars or church-bus and quickly vacate the church-yard. Hello! We are ALIVE! We are a living organism! ‘THE BODY OF CHRIST’.

We are called to BUILD RELATIONSHIPS.
An INTERDEPENDENCE on each other. Yes! We NEED purposeful programming as a MEANS to MEET a more important end. We require TEAM-BUILDING and CHURCH CONSTRUCTION to REACH-OUT to our COMMUNITIES.
To be more precise and Biblically-correct we need ‘A HOLY COMMUNION’ between each other like recorded in the book of Acts 2: 38-47:

‘Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 3And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 5And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

Dear friend; we need to SHIFT and operate from a position of COMPASSION and LOVE. We should ask ourselves: How many people have I had a meaningful conversation with at my church? Have I met every member in my church group? Can I meet somebody at their point of need? When last did I invite another church family for friendship and fellowship around a meal? Am I fitting in my ‘family-of-God’? Isn’t that what church is all about? Can we not PRAY and PLAY together & have FUN in the SON? Come let’s focus on building bridges between each other after all ‘PEOPLE MATTER TO GOD’. AJS.

Visit to EDEN YOUTH 21/05/2011

2011-05-23T00:41:00.000-07:00

It was such a hectic Saturday afternoon. My family and I had to attend a wedding that was delayed; resulting in us rushing helter-skelter for Youth Meeting.

About 30 of us (Both MTC & KidZclub) converged on Eden Youth at about 5.45pm. We were absolutely late. But our host Vikash was very gracious. By the time we arrived their meeting was almost closing. They had praise & worship and shared God's Word. So we just got to meet new faces and sang some songs and Vikash delivered the Word all over again - just for us!

Hopefully next time both our groups will enjoy a good time of fellowship and fun-in-the-SON!

PS 1 Our youth members asked us after we finished at Eden whether we were going back to our church-hall for our meeting . . . surely a thermometer eh? Goes to show that these young people just acnt enough of our youth sessions!

PS 2 One of our children's family were looking for him. He quietly slipped in for Youth Meeting and they did not know were he was . . . another gauge eh? Goes to show that kids will do anything to be at the meetings. Upon discussion; Wandile did say that he told his people he was going to church. His aunty kindly thanked us; we exchange telephone numbers. Wandile is a child that really loves 'church' and the Lord. He definately going to be a great worker in the vineyard.

PS 3 Sorry to Thandi for not picking her up! 1000 apologies!

Ascension Day - Lest I forget . . .

2011-05-20T01:16:00.000-07:00

Greetings ‘O Ye Little Flock’! Just a small nudge into your destiny.
ASCENSION DAY – A HOLY DAY
As we progress into God’s Divine Plan for His image-beings wherein was incorporated Jehovah-God’s GREAT REDEMPTIVE PLAN to allow man to be brought/bought back to Himself after the first Adam’s disobedience had brought death to ALL of mankind – many in the ecclesia are ‘seeing’ the facts/knowledge of GOD being progressively unveiled – and many in the WAY (Jesus) are rejecting pagan-worship, forms-of-godliness and ritualism. Moreover we are also regretting and confessing our errors of OMISSION.

Another forgotten milestone in God’s diary is that day – 40 days after the RESURRECTION! THE DAY CHRIST ASCENDED!

True worshippers all over the globe are beginning to chisel out the defilements that have so clouded the TRUTH of God’s acts of KINDNESS and His PLAN for His satellite-rule of creation through His Image-being: MAN and are becoming enlightened by the Holy Spirit of God (RUACH)– our anointing, our comfort ,our teacher!
The emerging ‘little flock’ ‘true worshippers’ are rejecting paganism, ritualism and idol-worship (Exodus 20:2-4 ‘ I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God!’) and are thirsting for truth. (Matthew 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled) and are accurately following the Master and with sincerity are beginning to acknowledge Him through His acts, His WORD.

We have rejected EASTER (Pagan-worship to pagan-god) and are embracing, acknowledging and celebrating the PASSOVER of GOD (Torah) and the PASSION of CHRIST (Gospels). Amen.

The resurrection of Jesus (Jehovah saves) showed that Jesus was indeed the sign spoken of by Prophet Isaiah. It directed our attention to the promised CHRIST/ MESSIAH. Remember that in the day of Christ’s first advent the Jews rejected HIM as Messiah!

The ACENSION of the Christ also speaks to an equal significance of the authenticity of who JESUS is – ‘YESHUA HA’ MASHIACH’. It was prophesied also in the Holy Writ – Psalm 110 referred to in Mark 12:36 – THE LORD (Jehovah) crowns our Lord (JESUS) after His glorious and victorious conquest of sin, death and evil. He thus was crowned our KING-PRIEST after the order of Melchizedek. Forever and ever. Bless His Holy Name!

Acts 1: 9-11 And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. 10And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, 11and said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven."

The Ascension of Christ also speaks to the COMING of the HOLY SPIRIT – 10 days after He ascended . . . on the DAY of PENTECOST – His INFILLING, His LIFEGIVING, His SEAL/GUARANTEE for completed REDEMPTION.

I kindly exhort all in the Kingdom by the mercies of GOD to take some moments on this auspicious day (2 June 2011) to PRAY in THANKSGIVING to Jehovah-GOD for JESUS our RISEN Lord and ASCENDED Saviour & King.

Gather in our halls, homes and workplaces – Kneel down and bow before God’s awesome Throne and Pray His WILL be done and His Kingdom come.

Remember the Jews did not know what we know now . . . that . . . JESUS CHRIST is MESSIAH! Moreover many amongst us still do not know who the CHRIST is.

May the scales fall from our eyes to see His Glory!

I am well. God is good.
I am presently fellowshipping with God's family at a gathering near my home in Mariannhill - El Shaddai Family Church - Pst Sydney Pillay. Good people. Lots of work to be done! Plenty of scope and opportunities. Labourers are few.

God is in CONTROL . . . I hear Him say clearly . . . 'Go I will lead you!'

I sure don't want to be part of the 'harlot church' Rev 17:2

2010-03-17T06:13:00.000-07:00

Are u part of that 'ROCK' God's 'carving without hands'? Daniel 2: 34-35 . . . Today we see a new world superpower arising; we witness the changing of guard from USA back to Roman roots: the EU (Currently the most powerful economic power on the globe). While fulfilment continues of Daniel's apocalyptical prophecy - God's moving from the Feast of Pentecost to the Feast of Ingathering. Busy gathering the remnant who will battle on the LORD-GOD Yahua's side - THE ROCK: The Corporate Christ - The sons of God!

'The LORD is the Spirit!' 2 Cor 3:17 (Read this again! Do you get it!)

2010-03-15T00:51:00.000-07:00

AW Tozer said: ‘There isn’t anything quite so chilling, quite so disheartening, as a man/woman without the Holy Spirit preaching about the Holy Spirit.’
He is right and there is nothing quite so chilling as a Christian who believes in the Holy Spirit and does not live in the Spirit.
Even more so: There is nothing quite so chilling as a church that confesses their belief in the Holy Spirit and not operate in the Holy Spirit.

For the LORD is that SPIRIT and He should be LORD of the HOUSE!

The paramount secrets of the Kingdom ~ the simple will find.

2010-01-19T00:32:00.000-08:00

'One of these days some simple soul will pick up the book of God;
read it and believe it.
Then the best of us will be embrassed.
We have adopted the convient theory that the Bible is a book to be explained,
whereas first and foremost it is a book to be believed,
and after that to be obeyed!'
Leonard Ravenhill.

When I fell upon this quotation, I stood still . . . shocked . . . dumb-founded!
I began to reflect a little on how true this was in MY life.

I must hence forth study to show myself approved unto God only;
to believe every word of His and to obey every instruction of His.

How can my puny self; my microscopic mind; my limited understanding; my very-partially blinded eyes
explain things seen and the things unseen . . .
My master laughs even as I imagine that I know His mind; His thoughts and His movements . . .
I feel ashamed; I feel stupid; I feel like a clown . . .
My only resolve is to . . .
trust and obey . . .
For there's no other way . . .

'A NEW thing' or a 'REVIVAL' of the old? Which do you prefer?

2010-01-11T23:12:00.000-08:00

In our city many churches and gatherings will initiate their 'programs' and get back into 'rituals' and 'traditions'. Some of our leaders will set the church on a fast . . .

Yes fast we must! Yes we must be encouraged and encourage others to 'fast and pray'. But be cautioned that Jesus taught us that it is first and foremost 'a private or secret matter'. Mat 6:16-18 "When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.'
You should have this innate desire to fast as often as and when you need to. Fasting must be done at your own free will ~ where there is a WILL there is a WAY!

FASTING is a spiritual empowerment exercise exerted over our 'physical' (carnal/flesh) self. It is a gymnasium to build up the spirit man. Matthew 26:41 '"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak." SPEAK life to your flesh in the power of the SPIRIT!

GO ON a individual fast for your spiritual; physical; social; material;financial needs. Yes we must start GOVERNING with DIVINE AUTHORITY our lives for alas; Are we not kings and priests unto Jehovah-God in Christ? Come on lets school our self in the college of the Holy Spirit of God. Prayer and Fasting is a module in the first semester! (Smile)

The church (not the organisation nor the building) must and should call up a corporate fast as and when the need arises . . . when we are drawing up strategies to equip the saints for the work of ministry to take our parts of the city . . . when we need God to set over our gathering the spiritual leadership and the servants that will SERVE the saints.

What we MUST NOT DO is be ritualistic in making 'fasting' something that is seasonal or programatic. We should press on to call for 'solemn assemblings' and 'corporate-fasts' through-out the year - Not only in January! Jesus in sacrificing His pre-existent God-life set us free from legalism and endowed us with grace and power to approach His Throne with boldness through the Holy Spirit. 'Ye that hath an ear let him listen to what the Spirit is saying' ~ You and I should have ears to listen to His 'still small voice'.

What we MUST NOT DO is think of the fast as a slimming exercise after the holiday season. Thats self-gratifying!!!!! Thats 'fleshly'!!!! It has no benefit to your spirit-man!!!!!

I personally encourage all of the saints in the City of Durban to fast for 'a new thing' and moreover that we will have the eyes to see what God is doing and be recruited to be a 'labourer together with God in such a time as this ~ the end of another aeon (age).

Isaiah 43 verse 16: "Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea and a path through the mighty waters, who brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power (They shall lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinguished, they are quenched like a wick): 'Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. The beast of the field will honor Me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My chosen. This people I have formed for Myself; they shall declare My praise'. Amen.

Can I ask that we in our various gatherings ask God to DO a new THING ~ Just one THING with the Durban Church this year; as He pleases? We in Durban need to come together 'in one accord'

Bless You

Father-God is ready to deliver Chatsworth through His Corporate Son ~ THE CHURCH.

2009-09-30T00:02:00.000-07:00

ARISE o' Church of God in CHATSWORTH. I hear the sounding of the trumpet. Gather all ye eagles (every Christian) at the gates of the temple!!!! God's raising up the CHATSWORTH BATTALION of His army that will TAKE THIS CITY!!!!God has heard the cry of the Saints.

ARISE or DEMISE!!!!
PS:If you are NOT available or cannot 'HEAR' ~ GOD is going to raise up an army from the 'highways and byways' of the City!

WHY o WHY are the children of the Most High God losing the spiritual warfare in our CITY ~ CHATSWORTH?
Look all around you at our city; it lies in SPIRITUAL, SOCIAL and MORAL ruins.

Is it because the GOD of fathers has been replaced by the gods of this world?
Is it because the HOUSE of GOD (God's Family) is divided?
Is it because the enemy has infiltrated our camp?
Do we have satans agents amongst us (wolves in sheep clothing)?
Are we having church when WE ARE THE CHURCH?
Is our selfish, self-centred programmes stopping the manifestation and HABITATION of our HOLY JEHOVAH GOD in our CITY?
Are we having TOO many board-meetings?
Are we content with the happy clubs; business empire; self-employment schemes and family gatherings we have turned GOD's HOUSE into?

Dear saints of GOD. Calling all PROPHETS and PRIESTS and KINGS.
It's time to RETURN to the LORD.
It's time we begin to INTERCEDE with fervour; pray continously; cry with birthing pains; call-into-being the Will of the Father; take by force with due 'violence'this beloved City of ours.
IS THERE ONE THAT WILL STAND IN THE GAP FOR CHATSWORTH?

The weapons of our war are lying idle; useless; dormant; inactive; used for strange foreign purposes.

WE NEED TO EARNESTLY BEGIN TO PRAY; announcing and pronouncing the NAME of JESUS (Heb:YAHUSHA; plead the Blood upon our CITY and make audible and readible the words of our testimonies.

I humbly suggest that ALL of us saints meet wherever on Saturday mornings to PRAY ~ wherever you normally gather in schools; grounds; tents; halls; auditoria; even in your houses.

Lets TRAVAIL to PREVAIL in Chatsworth.

If we want God to intervene and make our enemies our footstool ~ Let the army of God CHARGE FORWARD in a concert of continous prayer!

In Christ

The THEME of Jesus' Sermon.

2009-09-21T03:43:00.000-07:00

The Gospel of Matthew Chapters 5 to 7 records the most intensive, comprehensive and informative sermon that was ever preached. And that; it was preached by our Master & King ~ Jesus Christ himself.

I phrase it like this 'If you have missed the Message of the Messiah then you have missed the message of our Maker.

I clearly see a constant and consistent theme that prevails. 'The Kingdom of Heaven or The Kingdom of God. Off course Matthew being a Jew could not scribe the word nor the name of God therefore his reference to the 'Kingdom of Heaven'

Matt: 6.10 He taught us to pray the Kingdom in from our Father-God.
Matt: 6.33 He implores us to seek the Kingdom FIRST!
Matt: 7:21 He warns us that NOT ALL who say 'Lord, Lord' shall enter the KINGDOM.

I challenge you to read Matthew 5-7 again for a refreshed revelation.

Can I ask you? What are YOU preaching in this day and age?

"Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. He sent them to preach the KINGDOM OF GOD and to heal the sick" (Luke 9:1, 2).

With love for the King of the Kingdom

Jesus Christ is Lord.

2009-04-01T03:58:00.000-07:00

Kingdom Greetings my fellow brethen.

In 2 Corinthians 4:5 it says thus: 'For we preach not of ourselves, but JESUS CHRIST the LORD'. Indeed Jesus Christ is Lord!!! When you as the church preach or make such a verbal statement; what are you really declaring?

We are actually declaring three important things in respect to our Chief Cornerstone, the Firstborn of the Sons of God, The Overcomer; Our High Priest; Our Advocate; The King of the Kingdom of God. Before we explore and ratify our declaration lets ponder a few things.

1. God explicitly states in I Corinthians 12.3: ' . . . and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.' so when one says that Jesus Christ is Lord in actual fact it is the Spirit (the earnest of our inheritance~ Eph 1) that must and should have revealed something to the one making the utterance. If not; then some of us who make this declaration do so from a point of ignorance and therefore must be in that segment of the church I call in my vocabulary: 'copy-cat christians'. Meaning they are a group who have no fresh revelations of nor have they entered into a relationship (sonship) with Father of Creation. They just go with the flow (Hebrews 2:1 AMP ~ 'Since ALL this is true, we ought to pay much closer attention than ever to the truths that we have heard, lest in any way we drift past [them] and slip away'. So what are we saying then? Hang in there . . . we see it just now.

2. I like the number three. In God's use of symbols and numbers in the context of His Man-Manual the number 3 refers to 'completeness' or 'completedness'. Most of God's work is a 'completed' work even unto perfection. Take for example:
Existence of all matter: Solid, Liquid, Gas.
Man: Body, Mind, Soul.
Tabernacle: Outer Court, Holy Place, Holy of Holies.
The list can go on and on . . . Our God is the maker of all things good.

Now then when we say JESUS CHRIST is LORD it speaks of His abosolute dominion and His wondrous works in our lives unto completion. Note three words: JESUS; CHRIST and LORD.

First: He is JESUS. Jesus means 'saviour'. He saved us from the kingdom of death; darkness and evil into realm of life, light and righteousness. So He is your personal SAVIOUR.

Two: He is the CHRIST. (This is not a surname but a title). Christ means 'the annointed one' 'annointing of the Spirit' Acts 1:4&5) ' the one who baptises in the Holy Ghost' 'the baptizer'. The one who gave us the 'ascension' gifts (Eph 4:11-15) and the 'decension' gifts (Acts 1:8/ 1 Cor 12). In saying Christ we are saying that we are born-again into the Kingdom of God. Peter said this 'born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible'. And so we declare that we are 'Spirit-filled' and are born-again of the Spirit

Three: He is LORD. This is the most neglected but also an important part of the declaration. That He might be absolute Lord of our lives, have dominion in His own Kingdom. For we are His Kingdom (Luke 17 :21) and He is our King. This Lordship can only come if we as His sons ( daughters also) have come through the gates of the Tabernacle and received Him as SAVIOUR; if we have traversed thro' the door of the Tent and are born again by 'water and by Spirit' and thirdly have gone thro the veil into the King's Throneroom, where 'self' must die. Self and Christ cannot both be LORD. Alas self must die for Christ to rule supreme.

But there are areas in your life that have not been touched yet where self still rules and we declare Him as LORD. There is a people, God's people who will come through this last death and a resurrection into His Life and Lordship.

Thats God's perfect man, the multi-membered man; God's 'a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ'. God's complete man!

How about you today? Are you trully declaring that 'JESUS CHRIST is LORD' in your life?
He is the KING of kings and the LORD of lords!!!!!

'I will come and bow down at your feet Lord Jesus'
God's peace to you.

Easter is a festival of pagan worship. Let's remove the little yeast.

2009-03-12T05:29:00.000-07:00

The first part of the ceremonial law (the first 3 of the 10 Commandments) in Exodus 20:1-6 God sets the RULE for man towards GOD (Yahua) Himself.
It reads thus:
'1 And God spoke all these words, saying: 2 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 “You shall have no other gods before Me. 4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

I cannot emphasize too strongly that the Will (His thoughts; His rule and His way) of God is SOVEREIGN (absolute; supreme). We must obey the KING of the Kingdom.

The first commandment explicitly RULES that we shall NOT have any other gods before HIM.
I think that He cannot be more plain and simple as that.

Who then is Eastre? She is the pagan-god of fertilisation. The god of Easter.I challenge you then to go and investigate/ research this 'other god' and find her origins.

Jehovah-God. Our GOD is jealous! See the seriousness of disobeying these RULES in verse 5.
It is even more sad when the so called 'men of God' pay homeage and allegiance to Eastre teach others to worship pagan-gods.

I say this truth with love . . . erase from your vocabulary this hearthen name . . . erase from your church circles this pagan festival . . . teach our people transitioning into the Kingdom the TRUTH about the Christ's Passionate Death and His Glorious Resurrection ~ the firstborn of the Sons of God!

Easter is not a Christian festival neither is it a Kingdom function. It is pagan worship.

Let the Spirit of Truth prevail in this final hour . . . let the sons of God arise !!!
Romans 8:12-17 'Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

Dont you wanna be a part of the Kingdom?
Come on everybody!
Love & Blessings

Are YOU God's battle axe and weapons of war?

2009-03-05T01:26:00.000-08:00

Jeremiah 51:20 God (Yahua) says: ' Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war; for with thee I will break into pieces the nations'.

Are you part of God's Army that will raise up in the last days to be used of Him? Scriptures are quite plain you know that He seeks a people: The temple of God. A group of saints walking in righteousness (Jesus) and holiness (heavenly places). In 1 Corinthians 3:16 God says: 'Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?'. Further up in verse 9 He says that we are God's fellow workers (team); We are God’s field (property), We are God’s building (work/workmanship)!

In Daniel 2:44-45 God says: 'And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. 45 Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold—the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure.'

I understand with clarity now Ron Kenoly's songs: 'Dont you wanna be a part of the Kingdom?' and 'His Kingdom comes'.

Can I ask?
Don't YOU want to be a part of the Kingdom?
Then . . . God says in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18
'Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil*? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever? And what union can there be between God’s temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said:
“I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.*
Therefore, come out from among unbelievers, and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord. Don’t touch their filthy things, and I will welcome you.* And I will be your Father,
and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.*”

I say this truth in love . . . You may worshipping with a group called a church but they may even be unbelieving in terms of the Gospel of the Kingdom of GOD and may be touching filthy things (doctrines of devils; paganism; traditions and religiousity)'

Nourishment for eagles . . .

2008-12-17T22:29:00.000-08:00

Our GOD is Immutable ~ never changing . . .

Mmmmmmm quite a statement eh? God is an unshakeable, unmovable, unchangeable TRUTH. Sounds like a contradiction. A truth that never decays, deforms or demises. So He is our truth benchmark, our truth indicator and therefore all things must be measured against that ideal truth.

But man because of bending or lending his ear towards the original lie from satan, has from time beginning in the first colonisation of Earth (the Eden landing strip) after he (in the plural sense) had eaten (autonomously decided to participate in the paradigm of the 'Tree of Knowledge of good and evil) of the offering of a lie; and therefore consequently had mapped out a destiny that was not in alignment with the master-builder.

Our first mandate in Genesis 1:28 to fulfil, multiply and govern the earth was lost to a con-artist who robbed us and usurped the power given to us to rule and have dominion; and thus contols the power of the air which is a dynamic medium for thoughts, sounds, sights and quantum prophecies and divine revelations of physical both things that are seen and unseen.

Yahua, our God-Father opearting still within His mercy; grace; faithfulness and awesome love for His image-beings put in place a plan of RE-BUYING us from the fraudster and thief (who still by the way wants to be like GOD-Jehovah and who still wants to draw worship and worshippers to himself; he trying to be a father without knowing fatherhood and cannot bear or create offsprings).

As a mind-boggling impartation of Himself the Unseen God sends His Son Yahushua (Jesus Christ ~ Saviour Messiah ~ Praise that Name above ALL names) to redeem (a buy back even though He never sold us) unto Himself.

Clearly leaving man to choose again whether to accept His kind gesture after He was 'hurt' in the Garden when man chose differently. So for all who will accept the payment for redemption, God-Father through Himself in Jesus commissioned us to go out now and recruit others through sounds and sights of His Kingdom through the Holy Spirit our power and strategic assistance.

So in reality the war for worshippers was stepped up by the devil. Hence he continued using instrumentations and tools at his disposal. First causing image-beings to doubt the resurrection of the Lamb of God (redemption transaction) and then propagating false copies of God-Father's plan for the church (Kingdom). Hence from the 1st century church right down to the 21st century church myraids of image-beings have continously steered away from THE PLAN FOR KINGDOM RULE by the SAINTS of GOD. False kingdoms arose and are stilling arising coping; replacing and imitating God's Kingdom Plan. The church through the centuries became idol worshipping; man worshipping and became agents for satan to keep image-beings from becoming citizens of the New Jerusalem of God.

Praise God for remaining the SAME.
Today new relevation and understanding of His Instruction for Kingdom Construction is being unveiled (brought into focus) to the born-again believers world wide (born of the Spirit-Father). New unity is being forged although we saints are racially diverse, geographically everywhere, culturally different BUT are unified by ONLY ONE KINGDOM PLAN built upon the apostles and prophets where the measurement and alignment is set on Jesus Christ our chief cornerstone Himself.

So in our pursuit to returning to the original architecture of the Kingdom of God (Yahua~ Bless His Name) we must now be vigilant; disciplined; trained in spiritual combat to firstly EXPOSE;DEMOLISH and DESTROY the false kingdoms of IDOLATORY; RELIOSITY; TRADITIONALISM; SECULAR HUMANISM; SELF SPIRIT and MAMMONIC CULTURE; and then align the rational and thinking of God's image-beings (Ask Holy Spirit of Father to open our eyes to see CLEARLY and no more dimly). I say again that this can only be achieved through the dunamis power of the Almighty Spirit God.
Come . . . Our first battle hurdle will be our ignorance ~ oh yeah it was the tassle at our first landing on terra-cota. Overcome I say; Overcome we've got a Kingdom to build.

God bless and inspire you with more grace and peace.

Whooooooo . . . and I thought I will not make it.

2008-12-10T02:17:00.000-08:00

Thank God for the breathe of life and good health. Yesterday our work place went to the Durban Beach to acknowledge and support 16 days of activism against abuse of women and children. We started off with a 4km beach walk and then sat for some very profitable motivational talks and finished-off with a braai. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

God's calling you to your purpose . . . dont look at the winds of change and the waters of trouble!!!!

2008-12-03T22:51:00.000-08:00

It was another tiring day for ministry for Jesus and His crew. So that evening He asked His team to continue across to the other side of the sea and that He will catch up with them a little later. This is similar to Jesus giving each believer the commision to 'go out and preach, baptising people into the church (Kingdom of God) and recruiting future citizens for the New Jerusalem.

As you and I know Jesus was constantly in contact with Father-God about His every move and therefore had to correctly close the day's mission - He'd have to thank God, His Father for the power He received to overcome the human nature in Him and that He could hold onto the instruction to 'save the world'. Exactly the example that each believer must follow.

As the team travelled across the sea a terrible storm arose while they were still in the middle of their journey. The Bibles says that they were trembling and scared and I presume they were shouting their lungs out like a baby in its cot screaming for its milk. Even 'big mouth' Peter. Similar to the troubles we encounter in life's journey of ministry of the believer and the way we react.

Jesus hears and quickly beams to their location. Well even worse the crew are horrified when they see this ghost-like figure walking on the water towards them. It is a hair-rising situation; ask me I know. Similar to our situations ~ most of us cannot discern when the Lord Jesus pitchs up in our storms.

But alas, Jesus speaks and the team recognises His voice. You see you will only know somebody's voice if you constantly have conversation with them. Ahhhh. Many of us children dont know our Father's voice because we dont LISTEN to Him.
Peter being the daring disciple and also a person who had already begun to trust Jesus~ asks the Lord to make him walk the water (an impossibility) . Yes! The first step is to ASK (for an impossibility) anything in my Name saith the Lord.
So then . . . Peter recognised the Master's voice; then asks the Master's permission and then receives the Master's mandate to walk the water. He steps out (Praise God). Similar to many Christian we come through thus far then . . .
'And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. - Matthew 14:29,30'.

When we look at the winds of change and the waters of trouble we quickly sink.
As long as you are kept busy/engaged in your situation and circumstance of life daily issues; these winds and waters will keep you away from your divinely ordered purpose.

I want to encourage all the unheralded workers in the vineyard PUSH FORWARD ~ GO for GOD for soon this epoch/episode will be over. We will be with our Lord God Almighty very soon for our crowns; jewels and our abodes in the heavenly dimension.

God bless You with more grace . . .
Pst Alec J Seekola.

Prayer is a POWERFUL weapon.

2008-12-01T22:17:00.000-08:00

Thomas Brooks said: 'God hears no more than the heart speaks; and if the heart be dumb, God will certainly be deaf'.

Can you remember the many many times you've prayed in faith and in the Spirit and God in His Providence and Mercy answered your prayer? Yes I do.

But sometimes the 'selfish pride' inside of all of us wants to usurp that glory that belongs to Jehovah-God (Yahua). And doubt is sent from our thoughts into our hearts and we begin to doubt whether it was really the Hand of God or was it rather 'fate'or just 'luck' or it was 'coming anyways'.

Remember our minds is where we battle the devil, yes in our thoughts! Cast away all doubts and fears and put your trust in the Lord God of Isreal.

I want to encourage you dear friends and family to 'continue without stopping' to connect to communicate, to speak, to PRAY to our one and true; living and alive Triune God- Jehovah through His Son; Jesus Christ (Yahushua) our Lord and our Saviour.

Prayer still moves 'mountains'. The 'mountains' of lack; of poverty; of sickness; of trouble; of relationship problems; of family discord; of rebellious children. God answers prayer. Dont be scared to bring your needs and problems over and over and over again to the Lord. He will answer lest He get weary ~ Read Luke 18:1-8. Our God is not slack that He renegades on His promises. Our God does not sleep nor are His hands too short that He cannot touch you.

Is there sin in your life? Prayer is a sin-remover through the blood of Jesus!

Is there a lack of overcoming-power in your life? Prayer is your power builder in the Name of Jesus

Are there problems you cannot fix? Prayer is your problem solver in Jesus' Name.

You cannot STOP praying!!! It is the life-connection of every Believer.

Come on . . . rekindle your prayer life today.

God bless. I am praying for you.

Auntie Gracie turns 80 on the 12 December 2008

2008-12-01T01:24:00.000-08:00

Aunty Grace is my dad's (Aubrey) eldest sister. As a little boy I knew my aunt to be the woman of many many children who lived in a upbeat surburb of Asherville in Durban. Coming from the 'coperation' houses in Chatsworth; we indeed did afford the Peter Arjuna family the respect of the 'rich people' in my family. I say this very humbly and with joy. Uncle Peter was an ex-soldier in the SA Military (must have been a members of the MOTH's (tin-hats). He also owned a laundry just down the road from Tulip Place. Hey for my uncle to be a business man that pushed me in the level of the rich people' too. :) Whenever we went to visit at Asherville there used to be a huge crowd living there. I thought it was cool that all the sons and daughters with their families lived together. Aunt Grace was always in the kitchen preparing for her visitors and the huge family too. She has been a stalwart of Faith Revival Ministries together with her late husband Pastor Peter Arjuna. Now she lives in her own flat in Rosehaven, Phoenix. From all your nephews and nieces ~ a very happy birthday.

Forming a church/pastor support group. My thoughts . . .

2008-11-24T22:38:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I actually invited myself to a meeting set by two pastors (names withheld) to form a body of the churches that fellowshipped in school classrooms and school halls (This is common in the Chatsworth Christian Community; some schools have up to 10 church-groups on the premises)

So being a person who is concerned with all the activity that takes place within the local church in Chatsworth, Durban; I attended.

Without wanting to make any defamatory remarks on the steering committee ( my two pastor friends) and the method of initiating such a project; I would like to comment thus . . .

The idea is great and good.

But knowing the culture of the Church of Chatsworth (Not all though) and the culture of the pastors; an idea like this must come from people with a heart for such a job. Just to start something without much PRAYER, much, much THOUGHT and without a GOD-GIVEN MANDATE is futile. The facilitators themselves confessed that even in the school they where occupying premises ~ They felt guilty because they did not even take the time to go across the school-block to meet or even say a word of greeting to the other pastors (two of which so gracefully attended the meeting).
So futile that when a loose presentation is made by inefficient persons with ulterior motives ~ they will be quick to blame the devil for causing 'dis-unity'.

The church, how 'fragmented' it is, is still the place where God-Jehovah is delighted with His children. So I think we cannot use the fact that churches are fellowshipping in school-classrooms to re-group to show any kind of 'muscle' (and for what should I ask). Churches however the small are NOT insignificant nor must they feel belittled or even envy the church-group that have grown numerically. So in brief I do not subscribe to 'pity-party' church growth and church extentions of the Kingdom.

Before any preliminary discussions are done and road-map drawn it is common cause for non-transparent and scrupulous 'leaders' to pre-elect who should manage such an awesome project. I say no more at this point I think you catch what I am saying.

If I had to do such a project I would consider the following . . .

Yes. I (as a pastor) need some people that I can talk to about ministry problems and issues (downloading).
My family as the leading ministring family needs some kind of relief in terms of fellowship with other ministring families.
I also am in need of networking with other church-fellowship to enable me to keep line with the 'now' word of what our Lord Jesus is saying to the churches.

I think building a church/pastor group built on these needs (just as a start ~ the list can grow) will be beneficial to affiliates.

Ok enough said . . . . Lets wait for the next meeting on the 8 December 2008 to monitor progress.
In the meantime, please comment. I'd like hear some of your views.

God bless . . . .

Our purpose: To Build; To Teach; To Send.

2008-11-20T06:14:00.000-08:00

This coming Sunday, 23 November 2008; our very own Evangelist Cookie Rangana will be preaching at The Potter's House CLC Morning Worship Service. Praise God that He will use any child of His who is FAT ~ FAITHFUL; AVAILABLE and TEACHABLE.

Sister Cookie is a dynamic; Spirit-filled preacher; very faithful and God's hand-picked servant. She speaks with authority of the word and the annointing of the Spirit. My prayer is that God gives her all to her hearts content and takes her to places that need to hear an ex-muslim woman speak with liberty in the Spirit. Praise the Lord!

The WIND of the Holy Spirit blew on us . . . .

2008-11-16T22:47:00.000-08:00

Christian Greetings.
I humbly give God all Praise, glory and honour this morning. Yesterday the 'glory of God' fell upon our assembly! The place was packed; the praise and worship offered to God-Jehovah was annointed and inspiring as we lifted up the Name of the Lord Jesus (Yashushua). The musicians played skillfully and the congregation sang with the JOY of the LORD !!!! Special annointing fell upon Adrian Jeremy as he played the congas and the bongas. Many present confessed that the word they received had touched their hearts. Yesterday during my home-visitations the members gave good reports of the way the service was blessed by the Lord.

A word of honour to Pastor James D Seekola

2008-11-12T22:39:00.000-08:00

This morning it was great news to see that my uncle James has gone forward with his ministry into the cyberspace. Hopefully now christians all over the world can get to read his Spirit-filled, inspiring sermons and well balanced & Biblically-correct theological papers on the net.

He has been a 'unshakeable' or 'immovable' pillar of spiritual strength to members of our family and friends both far and wide. In fact he engraved the 'Seekola' name on the walls & sidewalks and led the way for many of us in the family to achieve both in the secular world and in the Kingdom of God. Many are busy working as pastors; teachers; music & worship leaders; singers in the Kingdom directly through his motivation.

A man of simplicity ~both his lifestyle and handle of words display his humility and integrity.

A person who loves to read the Book of Proverbs ~ always coaxing us to search 'divine' wisdom.
Never a day did I see Uncle James 'slip' up on morality and an upright-standing with God. We watched him carefully as he traversed a life given totally to God and still 'batting at the wicket' for God

A man who has earned so many accolades, degrees and doctorates in both secular and Christian education but never not once wanted to be called by his achievements.

A man who taught me a few things I will never forget.
1. Always read up; study and always be updated.
2. Always do a few basic body exercises every morning for fitness.
3. Drink a glass of warm water every morning for good health.
4. Dont stand by the kettle to watch the water boiling ~ do something else in the mean time.
5. Go ahead and do what the Lord asks you to do.

The eldest brother of eight sons but the youngest looking and the freshest look of them all ~ the glory of God shines from his countenance. At +/- 79 he looks as if he is in his fifties !!!!!!

He could have driven the best of the beemers and the mercs but he loves the humble Toyota; a true reflection of his character ~ trustworthy.
Very few people know this fact ~ my mother told me . . . He was the one who really applied for the house in Chatsworth where my family grew up Number 7 Road 514.

Not forgetting that he mentored both his children to become admirable professionals. Desmond Lawerence is a scientist in Silicon Valley in the USA. Lorraine Constance is Principal of a school in Australia.

Also amidst his busy preaching schedule he loved and nursed my late beloved aunt Dhanum through many years of chronic illness.

Uncle James has been a very inspiring leader of the Seekola Tribe. We will always love him and thank God for giving us such a man as this.

Uncle James. WE SALUTE YOU in Jesus name.

Glory to God in the highest ~ Bless His Holy Name!

2008-11-10T23:25:00.000-08:00

Todays I want to write about several things in thanksgiving to Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Last Wednesday night 5/11/2008 we were driving home from church when we hit a barrage of rocks placed on the road (a common strategy of thieves and robbers in SA). After I had hit one rock with the right-hand side front tyre; I felt the tyre slowly lose air-pressure and then while driving I knew it was flat. But Jehovah God just carried us all the away home including up our 35 degree accent of of home driveway. He protected us. Hallelujah!

Secondly, Friday 31/10/2008 my eldest son Adrian Jeremy was parked outside our house on the verge with another friend with both their cars. Thieves approached them and one guy shot at Adrian missing his head. Adrian dived for cover down the nearby bushes. They looked for him but could not find him. Anyways they shot Adrian's friend on his leg and stole his friends car. God prevailed for Adrian and today Adrian has re-committed his life to God. Amen!!!

Thirdly on Sunday 9/11/2008 the church family surprised me with an Appreciation Day. God; I was so shocked; I have never in my life did get such a formal appreciation for the work in the vineyard of the Lord. I am not one for being rewarded here . . . . but sometimes it feels good to know that people who matter to God expressing their heartfelt thanks to someboby who can serve them with 'an apron'. To all at the Potter's House I love you ~ and dont forget I am strategizing for a 'members/church family appreciation day'.

He's always on time!!!!! Amazing God-Jehovah

2008-11-05T00:05:00.000-08:00

Praise the Lord Jesus; His mercies endures forever.

God is true and faithful to His word. Denise and I discussed a few 'family moves' these past few days and we decided to maybe do something extra to bring financial relief. God answered.

I need your prayers and intercession on my behalf!

2008-10-30T05:50:00.000-07:00

Dear saints of God.
Please pray for me as I am trusting God for great things this season. The enemy is subtle, sneaky and want to bring the bad to us; but the Bible says 'all things work together for the good to them that love the Lord' amen !!!!

1. Increase in membership at our church.
2. Musicians for our Praise & Worship Team.
3. Increase in our church finances.
4. Upward mobility in my area of work.

Thanks for standing in the gap for me.
In the name of Yahushua our Lord & Saviour (Jesus Christ)
Amen

Being Thankful . . . . first step to more blessings

2008-10-07T02:28:00.000-07:00

I was reminded the other day; that I need to be ALWAYS be thankful for what God has given to me. Sometimes the spirit of complaining engages us in such a way that it blocks out the foundational link to blessings. David was a most thankful person! I wish I was as thankful as him. I am going to be . . . . because the secret to God dishing out more on my plate is my ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE.

Father; Thank you for your son Jesus (Yahushua) and all that you have done to give me the best in this life and my life to come. Amen

Yesterday a beloved couple of our church Brother Shaun and Sister Vaneshree bought two drum kits for the Potter's House. Brand new! Congos and the Bongos; Praise the Lord!!!! The church also acquired the 'chimes' for worship. God is indeed an AWESOME Father who delights Himself with issuing good gifts to His children. I believe Shaun also told us that today he was going to buy a new Pearl Drum Kit as well... I am amazed . . . Romans 4:17 ' For God is a God who is able to bring into existence that which be not !!!'

I am trusting that God will increase our church numbers, expand our church praise and worship team and church leadership. I am praying that God will help us stand firm on His Word and continue by His Spirit to enrichen our lives. Please pray that our church will always be a Christocentric church. All Glory; All Honour; All Praises to the name above all names Yahushua (Jesus). Amen

Another birthday . . .

2008-09-10T06:53:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I met a most wonderful family. I received a call for lift from Durban to Pietermaritzburg from a sister Kasturi. The lift was for her daughter Anika. So after work I felt a urgent prompting that I go visit this family to solicit the last passenger needed for my lift-club. When I arrive at their home; I was warmly received and within minutes we discovered we were all children of the Most High. Brother Krish was busy with measurements to fit some carpeting in his double-garage. You see I learnt as we spoke that his was bent on starting a christian cell-group at his house. Presently they travel about 120 kms to worship at a church on Phoenix, Durban. I am praying that God sends this lovely family to fellowship with us. Heyyyyyy God works in mysterious ways. Bless His name!!!

Hellooooo and God Bless . . . . been a long time since I posted here.

Just to make an announcement that Denise and I have opened up another assembly of saints at Summit School Road 305 Westcliff. God is still ever so interested in renewing lives. Our church punch line is 'people matter to God'. We believe that He will melt us ; mould us, shape us; fill us and use us for His glory. He is a God of MERCY and GRACE (Eph 2:8). We stand solely on the inspired word of Yahua (Jehovah) 'SOLA SCRIPTURA' and boldly refute, refuse and remove PAGAN worship and traditionalism from our lifestyle of worship of the ONLY TRUE and LIVING GOD who sent His son Yahushua (Jesus) as the Christ (Messiah) to save us from extinction; death and being kidnapped and robbed by the great deceiver satan.

Our calling is mainly to the church. We are sort of wedding specialists. Matthew 21:7 says NOT ALL who say Lord Lord shall enter the Kingdom. Paul wrote to Timothy that in the last days we will see a decay of the church. False prophets everywhere. Hirelings. False doctrines. A lot of church-goers need to be saved!
Come and fellowship with a friendly church. Change what you listen to it may be your ONLY hope of eternal life with Yahua.
Sunday Worship Service @ 8.30am. Wednesday Midweek Fellowship @ 7pm. Sabbath Intercession @ 6.30am. We are LOOKING FOR MUSICIANS!!!!

Spring Conference.

2008-09-03T23:54:00.000-07:00

Last night it was a blessing serving God's word at 'The Temple of Jerusalem' with Pastor Eugene and Selvie Perumal at their Spring Conference 2008. The church hall was packed out with both our church groups in attendance. I preached on the 'Cutting Edge of the Church'. The sister who was asked to close in prayer made this remark: ' . . . and not one of us were irritated or felt tired we just listen to the word . . .' Praise God for many people received the word with such overwhelming joy . . . the Holy Spirit ~ the ' Ruach' of God did work miraculously with many individuals last night.

Today I created a family website for the documenting of a legacy left by my grandparents, parents, uncles and aunties and cousins. I feel proud of my family's humble beginnings. Although many have become success stories in both academics and socially yet many in our family still need assistance in various ways. Check it out! Go to -----> http:SEEKOLA.weebly.com

Crime is OUT of hand in SA.

2008-08-25T06:27:00.000-07:00

This morning my son's friend was robbed while waiting for her transport at the corner of her road. Three black men in a Getz stopped grabbed her bag and drove off. I am beginning to think that now more and more civilians are turning criminals.

Yesterday I was driving home. One road away the new black residents of the area are helping themselves to cover soil from the adjacent vacant properties (has to be somebody's land). The shock factor of the whole thing is that one guy was actually carelessly removing the sand from around a lightpole. Eissssssssshhhhhh does he realise that that pole is going to fall and short circuit the electricity in the area. Unless he thinks the lightpole is a tree :) . . . Moreover I call 10111 the emergency police number in SA. A black male officer answers and tells me to phone the metro-police. I ask him for his force number. He replies by slamming down the phone :(

Saturday I was on my way to the carwash. Unknown to me I was followed. I drive a little fast and sharp :) I noticed that this white car driven by a black man was following me at every turn. I pulled up at the car wash trying not not to look alarmed or anything. I went to purchase a ticket. When I came back the black guy then reversed out of the queue and drove off.

I am thankful to God- Jehovah, my protector, my shield and my strong tower.
I am covered with the blood of Jesus. No weapon formed against me shall prosper!!!!\

What is happening to South Africa?

Evangelist Dean Terry; Chennai; India.

2008-08-21T01:51:00.000-07:00

Last night The Potter's House - Christian LIFE Centre in Westcliff Chatsworth Durban SA listened to Dean Terry an annointed servant of God. He spoke on 'meditating on God and His word'. What an inspiring evening in the Holy Ghost.
But the hightlight of last night was that satan was defeated. I was actually 15 minutes early at church with my family and our beloved guest speaker when my son phoned me and reported that the accelerator cable broke off our micro-bus that we use to pick up our church members. I turned and hastened to where the kombi was. It cost us only 20 minutes to fix but glory to God ~ we had the victory although we where very late but the people were very blessed!!!!

Ja, my point, the sum of it all ~ that when you busy with duties of your calling you gonna face the enemy several times . . . just tell him to 'bring it on' . . . and fear God so much that you know that He will bring you through. Job's example.

Today I was reading Christian History Connection news about Catherine Booth and her conviction that women have the same mandate as men to preach and make disciples . . . powerful influence of the Holy Spirit of God. I am also of the conviction that women have a place in God's plan of salvation to mankind.

I then wandered into the world of JC Ryle. I got sucked up into an article JC Ryle~ The man, the minister, the missionary written by David Holloway. What a read. I wish that I someday catch the awesome annointing of such great men of God.

Are men being minimised and neutered in today's age . . .

2008-08-18T00:54:00.000-07:00

Today our departmental women have all gone to a leisure palace in Durban ~ Sibiya Casino to celebrate 'Womens' Day'. I wish them all of the best in life!
My thoughts seem to focus on the way men of age are slowly being side-stepped, belittled, neutered, under-estimated etc etc etc . . . I am all for equal opportunities for all women but in our pursuit to bring balance, equal opportunity and gender equality we must not (in my opinion) degrade or minimise the value of the other beings.
Why not have a MEN"S DAY and a MENS Month? :)

Its all about opportunities . . .

2008-08-15T06:33:00.000-07:00

Yeah that is the sum of it all . . . Life is determined by the opportunities one gets. . . If and when opportunities present themselves to you . . . be optimistic and grab them for you may not be in that receiving position again.

The amount of opportunities that come towards you is determined by the amount of opportuniies you to present to others in life-pathway. Pursue favour by always doing good for others . . . when they succeed they will surely remember you.

Awaiting a call

2008-08-14T03:57:00.000-07:00

Just to bring relief to my self. I need to say this to world ~ that I am eagerly awaiting for a call for a friend for a job that will change my life. I have been waiting for almost 9 months now, I think the gestation perod for the blessing is coming to maturity now. It time for birthing!

This new job will help me achieve all that I wanted in life.
Sometime ago I wished I was able to change cities at least once in my life. You see I was born and brought up in Durban.
Then I wanted to step up in the prosperity ladder to enable my family to have access to all the good things in this earthly life. An 'abundant' life as put by the word of God, the Bible.
Then I wanted have an early but sustainable retirement from secular employment and apply myself to changing people's thinking in terms of taking the true message of salvation through Yahushua to this planet.
I have tremendous faith in Yahuah! He will bring me to it! I believe it!

Hello everbody . . . Is anyone home?

2008-08-14T03:22:00.000-07:00

Eissshhhhhhhh. I am back to blog.
Want to share my secrets and win some friends on this planet.

Thanks be to God for His awesome grace and mercy.
