Hoop & Bemoediging in hierdie tyd:
Isaiah 61:1-3 (AMP)
1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
Because the Lord has anointed and commissioned me
To bring good news to the humble and afflicted;
He has sent me to bind up [the wounds of] the brokenhearted,
To proclaim release [from confinement and condemnation] to the [physical and spiritual] captives
And freedom to prisoners,
2 To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord,
And the day of vengeance and retribution of our God,
To comfort all who mourn,
3 To grant to those who mourn in Zion the following:
To give them a [c]turban instead of dust [on their heads, a sign of mourning],
The oil of joy instead of mourning,
The garment [expressive] of praise instead of a disheartened spirit.
So they will be called the trees of righteousness [strong and magnificent, distinguished for integrity, justice, and right standing with God],
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
Luke 4:14-21 (AMP)
14 Then Jesus went back to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news about Him spread through the entire region. 15 And He began teaching in their synagogues and was praised and glorified and honored by all.
16 So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read. 17 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me (the Messiah),
Because He has anointed Me to preach the good news to the poor.
He has sent Me to announce release (pardon, forgiveness) to the captives,
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set free those who are oppressed (downtrodden, bruised, crushed by tragedy),
19 to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord [the day when salvation and the favor of God abound greatly].”
20 Then He rolled up the scroll [having stopped in the middle of the verse], gave it back to the attendant and sat down [to teach]; and the eyes of all those in the synagogue were [attentively] fixed on Him. 21 He began speaking to them: “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing and in your presence.”
Glo jy dit wat daar staan?
Glo jy dat God dit vir jou wil doen vandag?
As jy dit glo en daaraan vashou, wat maak jy met dit?
2 Corinthians 1:21 AMP
21 Now it is God who establishes and confirms us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and who has anointed us [empowering us with the gifts of the Spirit];
We are annointed, to do what Jesus did. (Gesalf en toegerus)
God die Vader salf ons met Sy Gees om Jesus en homself te verteenwoording.
Hoe doen ons dit?
- Deur goeie nuus te bring
- Deur die wat hartseer is te troos
- Deur vryheid en vrylating aan te kondig (voel jy vasgevang, lam gelê in jou gemoed)
Deur GVadreod se hart bekend te maak:
- Hy gee eer ipv smart
- Hy gee vreugde ipv droefheid
- Hy gee blydskap ipv hartseer
Wat sê jy?
Choose life & Speak life:
Deuteronomy 30:11-14 (AMP)
11 “For this commandment which I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it [c]out of reach. 12 It is not [a secret hidden] in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will go up to heaven for us and bring it to us, so that we may hear it and obey it?’ 13 Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will cross the sea for us and bring it to us, so that we may hear it and obey it?’ 14 But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may obey it.
Deuteronomy 30:19 (AMP)
… I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore, you shall choose life in order that you may live
Ons moet vertel wat God vir ons doen, hoe Hy vir ons deurgekom het… ons genees het. Testimony Time.
Soek die goeie nuus intensioneel! Bemoedig mekaar!
Kom ons verklaar Jesus as oorwnnaar oor jou omstandighede vandag.
“How Great Thou Art” liedjie by Hospitale Vrydagaand.
Verklaar dat God goed en groot is. Bo elke omstandiheid en uitdaging.
What do you see?
Lukas skryf…and the eyes of all those in the synagogue were [attentively] fixed on Him.
Besig met die Reeks – “Connectedness”
Hoe is jy connected?
Wees CONNECTed deur CARE-GROUPS al kan ons nie fisies bymekaar kom nie, wanwee ons verhouding met God en met mekaar.
Wat is connectedness? (5 Punte)
It is group of people who have made a commitment to relate to one another with
increasing depth, authenticity, honesty and vulnerability.
Francis Schaeffer – Our relationships with each other is the criterion the world uses to judge whether our message is truthful.
Christian community/connectedness is the final apologetic.
1.Community/Connectedness includes all believers. Close relationships aren’t automatic but are a direct result of time, energy, cultivation and involved risk.
1 Peter 1:22 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart,
2.Community/Connectedness is the glue that binds, holding believers together
Ephesians 4:16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
3.Community/Connectedness involves restoring fallen, stumbling, weak believers because the church is devoted one to another. When someone is overtaken in a fault, the church restores that person. (When one is weak another is strong)
Romans 15:1 We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
4.Community/Connectedness involves unconditional love and acceptance, creating a climate of acceptance and openness.
John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
5.Community/Connectedness involves heartfelt encouragement and availability. When we see a brother in need and if we have the ability to relieve that brother or sister, we do so. Sharing each other’s hurts, weaknesses, personal problems, material needs, aspirations, prayer concerns, victories.
Hebrews 13:16 But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
John 13:34
34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Wat Connectedness bewerkstellig:
- Betekenisvolle verhoudings
- Werklike omgee
- Groei en genesing
- Uitleef van jou Skeppings Doel
- Wete en Gevoel van behoort
Opsom skrifgedeelte:
Ephesians 4:16 (Amp)
16 From Him the whole body [the church, in all its various parts], joined and knitted firmly together by what every joint supplies, when each part is working properly, causes the body to grow and mature, building itself up [a]in [unselfish] love.
Afsluit met aanhaling in ’n boodskap wat Lerie op ’n groep geplas het:
“Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much” – Helen Keller
Nagmaal:
Mat 26:26-28 (AFR 83)
Die instelling van die nagmaal
(Mark. 14:22-26; Luk. 22:15-20; 1 Kor. 11:23-25)
26En terwyl hulle eet, het Jesus brood geneem en die seën gevra. Daarna het Hy dit gebreek en vir sy dissipels gegee met die woorde: “Neem, eet; dit is my liggaam.”
27Toe neem Hy ‘n beker, en nadat Hy die dankgebed uitgespreek het, gee Hy dit vir hulle en sê: “Drink almal daaruit, 28want dit is my bloed, die bloed waardeur die verbond beseël word en wat vir baie vergiet word tot vergewing van sondes.
Wat moedig die nagmaal ons aan om te doen?
- Om na binne te kyk (waaraan hou ek vas en glo ek, wat verhoed my om in oorwinning te stap?)
- Om terug te kyk (Prys wat Jesus vir ons betaal het)
- Om vorentoe te kyk (oorwinning oor die vyand en die wêreld en genesing deur Sy wonde)
Saam nagmaal en bid vir:
Bid vir herstel in ons land
Bid vir vrede in ons land
Bid vir ons land se leiers
Bid vir LCF se mense en families wat Covid + is of herstel daarvan
Bid vir krag, onderskeiding en hulp en wysheid
Bid vir LCF families wie se geliefdes in die hospitaal is.
Bid vir troos vir LCF families wie van geliefdes moes afskeid neem in hierdie tyd.
