Om as ‘n oorwinnaar te lewe

Afrikaanse Artikels

RKIs jy moeg daarvoor om jou lewe as ‘n verloorder te lewe? Verdiep jouself dan in God se Woord – en laat dit deel word van jou! Daar is ‘n oulike slagspreuk wat lui: “‘n Versie ‘n dag, laat die duiwel wag,” maar dit verg baie meer as net dit! God se Woord is soos medisyne. Jy hoef nie te verstaan hoe dit werk nie, hou net aan om dit te gebruik! Wonderlike dinge gebeur as jy jouself in die Skrif verdiep. Versoeking verloor sy krag en ‘n oorweldigende krag vervang dit. Elke keer as ‘n skrifgedeelte nuwe insig vir jou openbaar, word jou honger grootter vir die Woord van God.

Receiving Only From God

Afrikaanse Artikels

I will accept nothing but what my men have eaten and the share that belongs to the men who went with me-to Aner, Eshcol and Mamre. Let them have their share. – Genesis 14:24

Abraham’s nephew was a man named Lot. Lot was part of Abraham’s household until the land on which they fed their flocks could no longer support their growing families and herds. Abraham allowed Lot to choose the land where he wanted to live. Lot chose the land of Sodom.

Afterwards, four kings invaded Sodom, and Lot’s family and goods were taken into captivity. When Abraham learned of this, he immediately gathered his best fighting men and pursued the armies to free Lot and his family. He was successful in freeing Lot’s family and the families of Sodom. The king of Sodom was grateful to Abraham for what he did and wanted him to keep the goods he recovered. Abraham had made a decision before the battle that he would only keep what he recovered for his nephew Lot, and goods as payment for the men who fought.

Laat God betrokke raak in jou finansies

Afrikaanse Artikels

Sample ImageDit is nodig dat God betrokke raak by jou finansies, en betrokke bly. Jou finansies is die een gebied waar jy ‘n interaktiewe verhouding met God kan beleef. Jy moet Hom uitnooi om deel te wees daarvan. Jy het seker nog nooit enigiemand die volgende hoor bid nie: “Here, ek het U al hierdie jare probeer weghou, terwyl ek my eie kop gevolg het. Nou, as ‘n produk daarvan, is ek in ‘n finansiële gemors. Maar ek dink steeds my plan is die beste. Ek sal dinge op my eie uitsorteer, en U kan gerus iemand anders gaan help.” Nee! Wanneer alles onder ons inmekaartuimel, wil ons juis hê God moet betrokke raak in ons finansiële sake, sodat ons kan begin fokus daarop om Hom te oorreed om ons te red. Op daardie stadium word ons gebede ‘n hulpkreet! “Help, Here! Stuur geld! Doen asseblief iets! Enigiets!”

God’s Proving Ground for Faith

Afrikaanse Artikels

He did this only to teach warfare to the descendants of the Israelites who had not had previous battle experience. – Judges 3:2

God brought the nation of Israel into the Promised Land of Canaan through Joshua. After Joshua, there came an entire generation who had very little experience in fighting battles like the ones fought by Joshua. Training and testing God’s people is one of God’s important strategies that enable His children to succeed in spiritual warfare. This is why we do not live a life free of trials. These trials are sent specifically to see if our faith is real or simply empty words.

Hoe om te weet dat God jou lei (1)

Afrikaanse Artikels

Sample ImageDie ruimtetuig Atlantis se beheerstelsel word eers geaktiveer as dit reeds etlike kilometers in die ruimte in is. Wat is die punt wat ek wil maak? God se beheerstelsel skop in sodra jy in beweging kom. Dit beteken jy moet eers opstyg vanaf die lanseerplatform!

Sit jy steeds vas op dieselfde plek, terwyl jy bid: “Here, ek sal nie beweeg totdat ek van U hoor nie,” terwyl hy sê “Jy sal van my hoor sodra jy begin doen dit wat ek voor jou uitgelê het”? Soms weet ons wat God wil hê, maar ons hou nie daarvan nie. Dan bid ons en hoop dat Hy van plan sal verander en die ja-woord sal gee vir wat ons wil hê.

Beware of Garbage Trucks

Afrikaanse Artikels

How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood?   Do you let a bad driver, rude waiter, curt boss, or an insensitive employee ruin your day?  Unless you’re the Terminator, for an instant you’re probably set back on your Heels.  However, the mark of a successful person is how quickly he/she can get back her focus on what’s important.

Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson.  I learned it in the back of a New York City taxi cab. Here’s what happened.

I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station.  We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.  My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car’s back end by just inches!

Don’t Trust Your Feelings

Afrikaanse Artikels

 “‘You will not surely die,’ the serpent said to the woman. ‘For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.’” Genesis 3:4-5

On July 31, 1964, Country music star Jim Reeves and his piano player Dean Manuel took off from Batesville, Arkansas. Reeves was piloting his Beechcraft Bonanza and his destination was Nashville, Tennessee. Reeves was qualified only to fly during clear weather, but a storm quickly rose and dark skies and rain buffeted the small airplane.

Then about 5 p.m., the plane disappeared from airport radar, just ten miles from Nashville.

Two days later, the wreckage and Reeves and Manual’s remains were found in a heavily wooded area.

A Fine-tuned Instrument

Afrikaanse Artikels

…I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on My name and I will answer them; I will say, “They are My people,” and they will say, “The Lord is our God.” – Zechariah 13:9

My former business career was as an owner of an advertising agency. Over the years, I had the privilege to work on many different and prestigious accounts. One of those accounts was Steinway Pianos, the maker of the world’s finest pianos. Each piano has always been made from scratch; it takes over a year to make one Steinway. The most impressive scene as I toured the manufacturing plant was the place where the soundboard is stretched to its maximum tolerance and allowed to sit for an extended period until it remains in the curved design. This was done in an off-to-the-corner part of the plant. If the wood were alive, it would be crying out for mercy.

When a Problem Turns Into a Calling

Afrikaanse Artikels

As for the donkeys you lost three days ago, do not worry about them; they have been found.  And to whom is all the desire of Israel turned, if not to you and all your father’s family? – 1 Samuel 9:20

Saul and his servant were out seeking his father’s lost donkeys. This was symbolic of the waywardness of the nation of Israel. The people of Israel had just asked the prophet Samuel to have a king rule over them. This saddened God greatly, yet God granted their request.

Saul and his servant heard of a man of God named Samuel. “Perhaps this man of God can tell us where to find our donkeys,” said the servant. Isn’t that just like us? We seek God to solve the issues related to material life. Saul was about to receive the greatest opportunity of his lifetime. He was about to be crowned as king of Israel. His life would never be the same. What was he concerned about? His donkeys. We don’t have to be worried about the material things of life if we are about the things He’s called us to do.
