Ons is aan einde van jaar – moeg en uitasem
Wens die jaar wil net klaarkry
Ons het so dubbele porsie daarvan hierdie jaar
Getrek laaste week – baie exciting om te droom oor waar jy gaan bly
Maar ongelukkig moet jy deur goed sorteer, besluit wat hou jyen wat gooi jy weg en gee jy weg
Na ‘n maand se uitsorteer is dit ook nie meer pret nie.
Die Bybel praat ook van iemand wat so getrek het – leefstyl van pak op
Heb 11:8(GW) Faith led Abraham to obey when God called him to go to a place that he would receive as an inheritance. Abraham left his own country without knowing where he was going.
Heb 11:9 Faith led Abraham to live as a foreigner in the country that God had promised him. He lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who received the same promise from God.
Heb 11:11 Faith enabled Abraham to become a father, even though he was old and Sarah had never been able to have children. Abraham trusted that God would keep his promise.
Heb 11:13 All these people died having faith. They didn't receive the things that God had promised them, but they saw these things coming in the distant future and rejoiced. They acknowledged that they were living as strangers with no permanent home on earth.
Heb 11:14 Those who say such things make it clear that they are looking for their own country.
Heb 11:15 If they had been thinking about the country that they had left, they could have found a way to go back.
Heb 11:16 Instead, these men were longing for a better country-a heavenly country. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God.
• Gaan – belofte – het jy al gegaan?
• Hou aan – proses – vir generasies
• Moenie omdraai nie – kan nie in 2 huise op een slag bly nie.
Jas 1:6(GW) When you ask for something, don't have any doubts. A person who has doubts is like a wave that is blown by the wind and tossed by the sea.
Jas 1:7 A person who has doubts shouldn't expect to receive anything from the Lord.
Jas 1:8 A person who has doubts is thinking about two different things at the same time and can't make up his mind about anything.
• Lincoln se stryd vir president – president wat Amerika deur burgeroorlog gelei het
• 1832 1e politieke veldtog -abolish slavery
• 1860 President
• 1865 slavery abolished
• Wild West – pioneers – Abraham Lincoln se oupa deur Indiane vermoor in 1784.
• Hy kon bitter gewees het as hy wou – hy moes kies om op te pak en vorentoe te gaan.
Heb 12:1 (AMP) THEREFORE THEN, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us strip off and throw aside every unnecessary weight and that sin which so readily clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us,
Heb 12:2 Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. [Ps. 110:1.]
Heb 12:3 Just think of Him Who endured from sinners such grievous opposition and bitter hostility against Himself [reckon up and consider it all in comparison with your trials], so that you may not grow weary or exhausted, losing heart and relaxing and fainting in your minds.
2. VERGIFNIS
Pro 25:28 AMP He who has no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down and without walls. [Prov. 16:32.]
Pro 25:28 MSG If you cannot control your anger, you are as helpless as a city without walls, open to attack.
Forgiveness is not something we do for others. We do it for ourselves – to get well and move forward
Jesus se perspektief oor vergifnis….Matt 15:15-35
Matt 15:15-20 – hoe hanteer ek iemand as hy/sy verkeerd opgetree het teenoor my
- Konfronteer jou broer.
- Neem, nog ‘n persoon saam.
- Bring die persoon voor die gemeente.
- Hanteer hul as iemand at nie die Here ken nie.
- Wanneer die waarheid aan die lig gekom het hestel dit outoriteit (herstel van die muur)
- Guns en teenwoordigheid van die Here is duidelik sigbaar
Matt 15:21-35 – ‘n storie van onvergewensgesindheid/wanneer ek kies om nie te vergewe
Mat 18:34-35 AMP
(34) And in wrath his master turned him over to the torturers (the jailers), till he should pay all that he owed.
(35) So also My heavenly Father will deal with every one of you if you do not freely forgive your brother from your heart his offenses.
- Jy sal oorgegee word aan dit wat jou gevange hou
- Soos Spreuke dit verklaar jy maak jouself oop vir aanvalle
Wanneer ek kies om nie te vergewe pak ek op
Unforgiveness is like taking poison but expecting someone else to die
(Spr 4:23 ANV) Wees veral versigtig met wat in jou hart omgaan, want dit bepaal jou hele lewe.
3. Hoe bewaar ek my hart?...deur boundaries te trek
Personal boundaries are guidelines, rules or limits that a person creates to identify for themselves what are reasonable, safe and permissible ways for other people to behave around him or her and how they will respond when someone steps outside those limits.
Boundaries are to protect life, not to limit pleasures – Edwin Louis Cole
4. THANKSGIVING
Amerikaners het hierdie week Thanksgiving gecelebrate
Israeliete het n kultuur van dankbaarheid gekweek – feeste/altare
God asks us to give thanks in all things because He knows the feeling of joy begins in the action of thanksgiving.
Psa 136:4 Give thanks to the only one who does miraculous things- because his mercy endures forever.
Psa 136:13 Give thanks to the one who divided the Red Sea- because his mercy endures forever.
Psa 136:14 He led Israel through the middle of it- because his mercy endures forever.
Psa 136:15 He swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea- because his mercy endures forever.
Psa 136:16 Give thanks to the one who led his people through the desert- because his mercy endures forever.
Psa 136:17 Give thanks to the one who defeated powerful kings- because his mercy endures forever.
Wanneer ons dankie se skuif dit ons fokus na God se grootheid en getrouheid
Kere wat ek twyfel, begin dankie se vir God se goedheid – SNAPSHOTS
Hierdie week oppak, onthou tye met honde & vriende, gesprekke, lag en huil
Besef so getrou as wat God was in verlede so getrou sal Hy wees in toekoms.
