THE CORRUPT CHURCH:

(Part 1)

19. 'I know your record and what you are doing, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your recent works are more numerous and greater than your first ones. 

20. 'But I have this against you: that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess (claiming to be inspired), and who is teaching and leading astray My servants and beguiling them into practicing sexual vice and eating food sacrificed to idols. (1 Kings 16:31; 11 Kings 9:22 & 30).

21. 'I gave her time to repent, but she has no desire to repent of her immorality (symbolic of idolatry) and refuses to do so. 

22. 'Take note; I will throw her on a bed (of anguish), and those who commit adultery with her (her paramours) I will bring down to pressing distress and severe affliction, unless they turn away their minds from conduct (such as) hers and repent of their doings. 

23. 'And I will strike her children (her proper followers) dead (thoroughly exterminating them). And all the assemblies (churches) shall recognize and understand that I Am He Who searches minds (the thoughts, feelings and purposes) and the (inmost) hearts, and I will give to each of you (the reward for what you have done) as your work deserves.

17. "Wie 'n oor het, laat hom hoor wat die Gees aan die gemeentes sê. 'Aan hom wat oorwin sal Ek gee om te eet van die verborge manna, en Ek sal hom gee 'n wit keursteen, en op dié steen 'n nuwe naam geskrywe wat niemand ken nie, behalwe hy wat dit ontvang.'"

BE RECONCILED TO GOD / WEES VERSOEN MET GOD.

Werkend 19 & 20 July 2014. 

WORD OF THE DAY:

[Matthew 7:7-8]

7. "Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking (reverently) and (the door) will be opened to you.

8. "For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, (the door) will be opened."

MESSAGE OF THE DAY:

BE RECONCILED TO GOD:

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version)

2 Corinthians 5:13-21]

13. For if we are beside ourselves (mad, as some say), it is for God and concerns Him; if we are in our right mind, it is for your benefit. 

14. For the love of Christ controls and urges and compels us, because we are of the opinion and conviction that (if) One died for all, then all died; 

15. And He died for all, so that all those who live might live no longer to and for themselves, but to and for Him Who died and was raised again for their sake. 

16. Consequently, from now on we estimate and regard no one from a (purely) human point of view (in terms of natural standards of value). (No), even though we once did estimate Christ from a human viewpoint and as a man, yet now (we have such knowledge of Him that) we know Him no longer (in terms of the flesh).

17. Therefore if any person is (ingrafted) in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old (previous moral and spiritual condition) has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!

18. But all things are from God, Who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to Himself (received us into favour, brought us into harmony with Himself) and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation (that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with Him).

19. It was God (Personally, present) in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favour with Himself, not counting up and holding against (men) their trespasses (but cancelling them), and committing to us the message of reconciliation (of the restoration to favour).

20. So we are Christ's ambassadors. God making His appeal as it were through us. We (as Christ's personal representatives) beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favour (now offered to you), and be reconciled to God.  

21. For our sakes He made Christ (virtually) to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become (endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of) the righteousness of God (what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship  with Him. by His goodness.) 

WOORD VAN DIE DAG: 

[Matthéüs 7:7-8]

7. "Bid, en vir julle sal gegee word; soek, en julle sal vind; klop, en vir julle sal oopgemaak word. 

8. "Want elkeen wat bid, ontvang; en hy wat soek, vind; en vir hom wat klop sal oopgemaak word."

BOODSKAP VAN DIE DAG:

WEES VERSOEN MET GOD: 

2. Afrikaans - (Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling)

[2 Korinthiërs 5:13-21]

13. Want as ons uitsinnig is, is dit tot eer van God; en as ons by ons verstand is, is dit om julle ontwil. 

14. Want die liefde van Christus dring ons,

15. Omdat ons van oordeel is, dat as een vir almal gesterf het, hulle dan almal gesterf het; en Hy het vir almal gesterwe, sodat die wat lewe, nie meer vir hulleself moet lewe nie, maar vir Hom wat vir hulle gesterf het, en opgewek is. 

16. Ons ken dus van nou af niemand meer in die vlees nie; en al het ons ook Chtisfus in die vlees geken, nou ken ons ons Hom tóg nie meer so nie. 

17. Daarom, as iemand in Christus is, is hy 'n nuwe skepsel; die ou dinge het verbygegaan, kyk, dit het alles nuut geword!

18. En dit is alles uit God wat ons met Homself versoen het deur Jesus Christus en ons die bediening van die versoening gegee het,   

19. Naamlik dat God in Christus die wêreld met Homself versoen het, deur hulle hul misdade nie toe te reken nie en die woord van die versoening aan ons toe te vertrou. 

20. Ons tree dan op as gesante om Christus wil, asof God deur ons vermaan. Ons bid julle om Christus wil: Laat julle met God versoen. 

21. Want Hy het Hom wat geen sonde geken het nie, sonde vir ons gemaak, sodat ons kan word geregtigheid van God in Hom.

OUR BODIES: - EARTHLY TENTS / ONS LIGGAME : - AARDSE TENTE.

Wednesday 16 July 2014. 

WORD OF THE DAY:

[Psalm 52:8]  But I am a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in and confidently rely on the loving-kindness and the mercy of God forever and ever. 

MESSAGE OF THE DAY:

OUR BODIES: - EARTHLY TENTS:

1. English - (New King James Bible Version)

[2 Corinthians 5:1-11]

1. For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 

2. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven. 

3. If indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. 

4. For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not that we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. 

5. Now He Who Has prepared us for this very thing is God, Who also Has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. 

6. Therefore we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord. 

7. For we walk by faith, not by sight

8. We are confident, yes, well pleased, rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. 

9. Therefore we make it our aim, whether present our absent, to be well pleasing to Him. 

10. For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, good or bad. 

11. Knowing therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences. 

Woensdag 16 Julie 2014. 

WOORD VAN DIE DAG:

[Psalm 52:10]  Maar ek sal wees soos 'n groen olyfboom in die huis van God; ek vertrou op die goedertierenheid van God vir ewig en altyd. 

BOODSKAP VAN DIE DAG:

ONS LIGGAME: - AARDSE TENTE:

2. Afrikaans (Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling)

[2 Korinthiërs 5:1-11]

1. Want ons weet dat as ons aardse tentwoning afgebreek word, ons 'n gebou het van God, 'n huis nie met hande gemaak nie, ewig, in die hemele. 

2. Want om hierdie rede sug ons ook en verlang om met ons woning uit die hemel oorklee te word,

3. As ons ten minste gekleed en nie naak bevind sal word nie. 

4. Want ons wat nog in die tent is, sug en voel beswaard, omdat ons liewer nie ontklee nie, maar oorklee wil word, sodat die sterflike deur die lewe verslind kan word. 

5. Maar Hy wat ons juis hiervoor toeberei het, is God, wat ons ook die Gees as onderpant gegee het. 

6. Daarom het ons altyd goeie moed en weet dat as ons in die liggaam inwoon, ons van die Here uitwoon. 

7. Want ons wandel deur geloof en nie deur aanskouing nie.

8. Maar ons het goeie moed en verkies om liewer uit die liggaam uit te woon en by die die Here in te woon. 

9. Daarom lê ons, ons ook ywerig daarop toe, of ons inwoon of uitwoon, om Hom welbehaaglik te wees. 

10. Want ons moet almal voor die regterstoel van Christus verskyn, sodat almal kan ontvang wat hy deur die liggaam verrig het, volgens wat hy gedoen het, of dit goed is of kwaad. 

11. Omdat ons dan die vrees van die Here ken, probeer ons om die mense te oortuig; maar voor God is ons openbaar, en ek hoop om ook in julle gewetens openbaar te wees.

37. "And the Father Who sent Me Has Himself testified concerning Me. Not one of you has ever given ear to His voice or has seen His form, (His face, what He is like). [You have always been deaf to His voice and blind to the vision of Him].

38. "And you have not His Word (His thought) living in your hearts, because you do not believe and adhere to and trust in, and rely on Him Whom He Has sent. (That is why you do not keep His message living in you, because you do not believe in the Messenger Whom He Has sent).

39. "You search and investigate and pore over the Scriptures diligently, because you suppose and trust that you have eternal life through them. And these (very Scriptures) testify of Me!

40. "And still you are not willing (but refuse) to come to Me, so that you might have life. 

41. "I receive not glory from men (I crave no human honour, I look for no mortal fame).

42. "But I know you and recognize and understand that you have not the love of God in you. 

43. "I have come in My Father's Name and with His power, and you do not receive Me (your hearts are not open to Me, and give Me no welcome); but if another comes in His own Name and his own power, and with no other authority but himself, you will receive him and give him your approval. 

44. "How is it possible for you to believe (how can you learn to believe), you who (are content and seek and) receive praise and honour and glory from one another, and yet do not seek the praise and honour and glory which come from Him Who alone is God?

45. "Put out of your minds the thought and do not suppose (as some of you are supposing) that I will accuse you before the Father. There is one who accuses you - it is Moses, the very one on whom you have built your hopes (in whom you trust).

46. "For if you believed and relied on Moses, you would believe and rely on Me, for He wrote about Me (personally).

47. "But if you do not believe and trust his writings, how then will you believe and trust My teachings? (How shall you cleave to and rely on My words?)"

39. "Julle ondersoek die Skrifte, omdat julle meen dat julle daarin die ewige lewe het; en dit is dié wat van My getuig. 

40. "En julle wil nie na My kom om die ewige lewe te hê nie. 

41. "Eer neem Ek van die mense nie aan nie. 

42. "Maar Ek ken julle, dat julle die liefde van God in julle nie het nie. 

43. Ek het gekom in die Naam van die Vader, en julle neem My nie aan nie. As 'n ander een in sy eie naam kom, hóm sal julle aanneem. 

44. "Hoe kan julle glo wat van mekaar eer aanneem, en die eer wat van die enige God kom, soek julle nie?

45. "Moenie dink dat ek jullle by die Vader sal beskuldig nie. Daar is een wat julle beskuldig - Moses op wie julle gehoop het. 

46. "Maar as julle Moses geglo het, sou julle My glo, want Hy het van My geskrywe. 

47. "En as julle sy geskrifte nie glo nie, hoe sal julle My woorde glo?"

[John 5:30-36]

30. "I Am able to do nothing from Myself (independently, of My own accord,  -- but only as I Am taught by God and as I get His orders). Even as I hear, I judge (I decide as I Am bidden to decide. As the voice comes to Me, so I give a decision,) and My judgement is right (just, righteous), because I do not seek or consult My own will, (I have no desire to do what is pleasing to Myself, My own aim, my own purpose) but only the will and pleasure of the Father Who sent Me. 

31. "If I alone testify in My behalf, My testimony is not valid and cannot be worth anything. 

32. "There is another Who testifiies concerning Me, and I know and Am certain that His evidence on My behalf is true and valid. 

33. "You yourselves have sent (an inquiry) to John and he has been a witness to the

Truth.

35. "John was the lamp that kept on burning and shining (to show you the way), and you were willing for a while to delight (sun) yourselves in his light. 

36. "But I have as My witness something greater (weightier, higher, better) than that of John the Baptist; for the works that the Father Has appointed Me to accomplish and finish, the very same works that I Am now doing, are a witness and proof that the Father Has sent Me."

32. "Daar is 'n ander Een wat van My getuig, en Ek weet dat die getuienis wat Hy van My getuig, waar is.

22. "Moreover, the Father judges no one, but Has entrusted all judgement to the Son. 

23. "That all may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father. He who does not honour the Son, does not honour the Father, Who sent Him. 

24. "I tell you the truth, whoever hears My Word and believes Him Who sent Me, has eternal life and will nit be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.

25. "I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice if the Son of God, and those who hear will live. 

26. "For as the Father Has life in Himself, so He Has granted the Son to have life in Himself. 

27. "And He Has given Him authority to judge, because He is the Son of man. 

28. "Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming who are in their graves will hear His voice,

29. "And come out - those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned.
