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.

MESSAGE OF THE DAY:

LIFE AND JUDGEMENT ARE FROM THE SON:

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version)

[John 5:37-47]

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?)"

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?"

Wednesday 9 July 2014.

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.

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