“Light from on high”
– Luk 1:78 (AMP)
2018 !
2018 is seen by the Church of Jesus across the world, as a season of signs, wonders and glory! There is a strong feeling that we are approaching a revival that will last until Jesus literally returns to the earth.
2017 had been a very decisive year for most of us. It was, what I would call, a year of transition. When I was doing military service, we would often end up in a “transition camp”, meaning we arrive to merely wait on the next orders. I see 2017 as such a year. It had been a time of shifting us into a position of preparation for what is about to come. We learnt to endure, to be willing to make major paradigm shifts and to also learn that our own strength is futile – we need to abandonly rely on God’s strength. You see, what the Church is about to enter into, will be no child’s play! It would necessitate tenacity, openness, dedication, and above all, a humble dependence on God!
I am not trying to portray myself as a prophet, but I do believe God has been revealing to me some of His plans for the Church, over the past years. I would like to speak to you this weekend on God’s heart for us individually, for this coming season.
Here are a number of very important dates to diarise:
- Special Board Meeting on Tue 16 Jan at 19h00. We are preparing to elect a new Church Board and therefore it is vital for all existing members to attend;
- Ladies Meetings to reopen on Wed 17 Jan at 19h00;
- Prayer Meetings to reopen on Thu 18 Jan at 19h00;
- Proposed Special Elders Meeting on Tue 23 Jan at 19h00;
- Planned Assembly Election of Fiduciary Officers on Sun 28 Jan (immediately after service);
- SPECIAL FREE “GIG” TRAINING (multi-generational financial planning, etc.) by Jasper. This will happen on Sat 3 Feb & Sat 10 Feb (09h00-12h00 both Saturdays). You must register for these free events: please contact Jasper at 083 302 9840;
- Men’s Monthly Meetings to recommence on Sat 17 Feb (instead of the usual 2nd Sat of the month, which would have been 10 Feb – this is due to the special GIG Training);
Welcome back to all who have been away on holiday. Trust you are rested and ready for a very special year of Godly service!
