HELLO THERE!!!!!

Hello there!!!!! 

RESPONSE TO THE EFFECTS OF COVID 19 OR THE CORONA VIRUS.

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. How are you? It's been a month OR OVER 2 MONTHS NOW SINCE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PRACTISING SELF-iSOLATION. How have you been finding it? Communicating with a number of people from different backgrounds I've come to realize this time has been hard on other people, yet a blessing on others. We shall examine different responses to social distancing from different perspectives.

First, we have to realise THAT THERE ARE SO MANY CLASSES OF PEOPLE IN ANY SOCIETY.   Those classes are further divided into many subsections. It would be very difficult to represent the views of everyone in such a short presentation. We will, therefore, carter for those that are close to us whose views we understand and can, therefore, be discussed on this blog. Although a lot of groups come under the umbrella of Christianity, we need to appreciate that their practices are as varied as the groups they are in. For example, you might find a group that calls themselves Christians, yet they differ from others on issues like speaking in tongues, gifts of the Spirit, prophecy, the rapture, healing, and many other topics like infant baptism and many others. One interesting and fascinating one for me is the topic of Death, or what happens when a person dies. For example, some believe that the dead are asleep in their graves, yet some would argue that that view is not correct, dead people are in Heaven at a place called paradise. They would go as far as proving it through Scripture. Well everyone has to find their own answers from the Bible.

Discussing social isolation with different representations of Christians and being a Pastor, I found a few issues that l would love to discuss. As a Pastor, you find that people contact you through social media for a casual chart to serious counseling because of what they are going through. People want help with life's complexities and issues they found themselves in since a lot of them were taken by surprise by this disease and the way government and societies responded to the situation. I am going to discuss some Christian concerns or findings as they sought to make sense of their lives in the year 2020.

Its only fair to say only God has the answers. He alone knows the future. We are not alone in this world; we have been left with a responsible member of the God Head. Before Jesus left the World, in the book of ST John, Jesus said He is not leaving us alone in this world, He promised to send us THE HOLY SPIRIT.  Jesus said

John 14:18

“I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

John 14:16And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—

John 14:17 “the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

[John 14:16, 26 NKJV] 16 "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever-- ... 26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

John 15:26 “But when The Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.

Brethren we have not been left alone in this world. God knew that it would not be easy, so He sent us His Holy Spirit. Jesus also outlined His role in our lives. From the scriptures where Jesus introduced the Holy Ghost he also gave us directions on what to expect from Him.

The main reason for His coming is to HELP. He called the paracletos in Greek which means 

Comforter, help.these are the biblical uses of the word parakletos…Outline of Biblical Usage [?]

I.summoned, called to one's side, esp. called to one's aid

A.            one who pleads another's cause before a judge, a pleader, counsel for defence, legal assistant, an advocate

B.            one who pleads another's cause with one, an intercessor

i.of Christ in his exaltation at God's right hand, pleading with God the Father for the pardon of our sins

C.           in the widest sense, a helper, succourer, aider, assistant

 .of the Holy Spirit destined to take the place of Christ with the apostles (after his ascension to the Father), to lead them to a deeper knowledge of the gospel truth and give them divine strength needed to enable them to undergo trials and persecutions on behalf of the divine kingdom.

i. 

If you read these 3 statements you get your answer as to why we were given the Holy Spirit. We need His help and guidance. Especially these days when there is so much fear and uncertainty, we need to be led and guided by Him. Listen to this….

Romans 8:14-17 New King James Version (NKJV)

¹⁴ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. ¹⁵ For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba,^[a] Father.” ¹⁶ The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, ¹⁷ and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

Children of God do not fear! Trust the LORD and the Holy Spirit. He will lead us to safety at all times. One day l will write a book about the Holy spirit. COVID 19 IS NOTHING WHEN IT COMES TO THE PROTECTION AND LEADING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

IN GOD WE TRUST!

HELLO THERE!!!!




GREETINGS IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS.

Just to remind you that in GOD WE TRUST. He is our very present help in times of trouble. We will not fear even though the Earth moved and the mountains are cast into the sea. There is a river that shall make glad the city of our God. Did you know that the Bible has 366 times FEAR NOT. One for every day in a year and an extra one for a leap year. SO FEAR NOT. REMEMBER

JESUS IS STILL LORD! HE WILL NEVER FAIL YOU OR DISAPPOINT YOU. BE OF GOOD CHEER! HE HAS OVERCOME THE WORLD.

COMFORT FOR GOD’S PEOPLE!!! 30/3/19 WORD OF THE WEEK.

COMFORT FOR GOD’S PEOPLE!!!

ISAIAH 40:1-8, VERSES 9-14(NEXT WEEK)

V1---“Comfort yes comfort My people”, Says your God.

 V2----“Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her’

---- That her warfare is ended,

----That her *iniquity is pardoned;

----For she has received from the LORD’S hand 

----Double for her sins.”

V3---The voice of one crying in the wilderness:

----Prepare the way of the Lord;

----Make* straight in the desert

----A highway for our God.

V4 Every valley shall be exalted

----And every mountain and hill *brought low;

----The crooked places shall be made straight 

----And the rough places smooth;

V5---The Glory* of the LORD shall be revealed,

----And all flesh shall see it together;

----For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

V6----The voice said “cry out!”

------and he said, “what shall I cry?”

-----"All flesh is grass’

-----And all it’s loveliness is like the flower of the field.

V7---The grass withers, the flower fades,

------Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it.

------Surely the people are grass.

V8---The grass withers, the flower fades

------But the Word of our God stands forever.”

Well, this is what the Lord is saying to us, He is saying comfort my people comfort.

We are being comforted, because of what we have been through. The road has been tough but the Lord has been with us. He says it’s because of the iniquities that we got into trouble.

But the good news is that we are forgiven our iniquities. Now we receive blessings.

The LORD wants us to prepare the way for His blessings. Our blessings are coming by the highway. Every valley, every one of them shall be lifted up, but all mountains and hills shall be brought low. This is a great promise. Do stop and meditate on what this means. The crooked places, everything that has been bent will be straightened, and all rough places smooth. The Glory of the LORD SHALL BE REVEALED. I can stop there and give praise. God is promising revealed glory. I am looking forward to seeing how God will reveal His Glory. Glory to God. I look forward to this promise. So should you!!! Go on take it by faith and put a claim on the Lord based on this scripture. I give Him praise so should you. Amen

WORD OF THE WEEK 20/3/19.

THIS IS THE SCRIPTURE OF THE WORD OF THE WEEK(every week)

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

This is the Word of the week. 20/3/19

Morning Family, 

The Lord wants to speak to us this week through the Word I Luke 1:37. “For with God, nothing shall be impossible”. Wow, what a WORD! Before I say anymore let’s teach each other about the importance of the Word Of God. The Word of God (BIBLE) IS THE WAY GOD TEACHES US AND DIRECTS US EVERYDAY IN THIS LIFE. The Word of God is this Life’s (SATNAV). I will write a detailed book about the Word of God soon. People of God every day there is an answer to your problem in the Word of God. Daily, you can communicate with God through His Word. You can go to God daily for instruction. All you have to do is to believe that, that word that God is giving you is the instruction for you that day. So what is the instruction from God this week? Luke 1:37. God say’s “WITH HIM NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE”. With God, you cannot fail. We need to put our trust in God and the integrity of His Word. God is our Helper, we need to go to Him for help every day. Never do anything on your own, the Bible says lean not on your own understanding.

What must we do then??? The answer is in Jeremiah 33:3 “Call unto me, I will answer you and show you great and mighty things you know nothing about”. GLORY! All we need to do is call on God for whatever need or question we have pertaining to our life. We need to do this daily. Don’t go a day without getting your instruction. This week God is saying we should call unto Him and He will answer us, Just as He did to the prophet Jeremiah. NB the Word of God came to Jeremiah, while He was in PRISON Jeremiah 33:1-3. God knows where you are, and His Word comes to you today. He is saying call, I will answer you and tell about things you don’t know. So, don’t be lost with life seek God’s direction and remember with God you won’t fail!

My 5Oth Birthday. 24January.

What does the Lord say???? What did the Lord give me?

First of all,  The LORD is faithful. 50 yrs. It's amazing. I'm truly grateful. We love the Lord.
This week the Father remembered me in so many ways. Most important He sent me the Holy Spirit as the PATHFINDER. I asked how??? The Holy Ghost sent me to ANNA ROUNTREE'S WEBSITE.
As I read the teachings there I met thhe PATHFINDER. When the Holy Spirit came to Anna as the Pathfinder he said, “Hello,” I said as he came down the stone stairs to the platform.

He sat down opposite the two of us on the bench saying: “I come to you today as a PATHFINDER. Your compass of the Father’s desires has been lost in the labyrinth of twists and turns as you sought to fulfill His desire. Now, quiet yourself. Look around. Get the lay of the land and take out your map.” 

"What map?” I asked.

“All that has been given to you – so far – is a map. Even if you have lost the compass you still are able to look up – in order to be guided by the directions above. (I did not know if He meant directly by God the Father or from the stars.)

I looked into his face and realized that I could not see his face clearly. It was the Holy Spirit. 

He continued: “The Father has sent me to guide you, Anna,” He said, “Give yourselves the time to receive another compass. Study the map while you wait – and enjoy the view.”

All I'm saying is I've leant a lot. SEEK THE HOLY GHOST AS YOUR PATHFINDER. LET HIM HELP YOU TO BE ON COURSE ONCE AGAIN. You will also gain a lot of things you had lost on the way. It's truly a time of revival for me. it can be yours too. Whenever you read this do it. it doesn't expire. Its a current message for you today.
God bless you
Pastor Nomsa. (pastornomsa@gmail.com)

(Anna Rountree website Heaven Awaits the Bride) Highly recommended please visit the website, you learn a lot. I'm growing because of that website. It's for those who want to draw near to the Godhead.  Its the Truth from heaven. Buy the book as well. Donate and support Anna's ministry through prayer and donations. God bless you.

Happy New Year 2019.

WHAT DOES 2019 HAVE FOR YOU??????

The answer is everything you desire. When the year starts we look forward to a new year. We make plans and resolutions on our own. We forget that we can't make it on our own. That is the reason why the FATHER IN HEAVEN gave us the Holy Spirit. He is our helper. Why because God knew we need help. We try in our own strength and fail so much that we become discouraged. If only we had consulted THE HELPER! Go to Him. Find out what plans His got for  2019 for you. It's very important. joshua 3:3-5 talks about Israel crossing the Jordan River. they were instructed to follow the ARK OF THE COVENANT.  THE Instruction said to follow the ARK for you have never been this way before. Go read the chapter. God will speak to you through that chapter. Make your own notes for 2019.

 God bless you.
Pastor Nomsa.

Blessings just for you.

THE WORD OF THE WEEK 9/12/18. Why do we celebrate CHRISTMAS!

WORD OF THE WEEK 9/12/18

WHY CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS!

Its December of 2018, what is the Lord saying? The King who is the Bridegroom is excited it's His Birthday month. Now am aware that there are enough debates about the real month when Jesus was born. I have gone through them all, l was convinced by them all. The arguments for all are quite sound, so l ended up saying to myself, “I won’t bother because it’s not His Birthday anyway”. I was happily going on with my Praise and worship until one day when Jesus Confronted me. He said, everybody else (everybody in my family) is celebrating my birthday and you don’t seem to be doing anything, why? I was taken aback, and I replied, “It’s just Christmas and it's not your birthday anyway”. Jesus replied, “What kind of a Father would reject the day His children have chosen to celebrate his birthday just because it’s not on the exact date He was born”? I said It’s not your birthday. Then He said these words which blew me away, “In Heaven at this time we celebrate together with Earth, its because in the Birth of Christ, the plan of salvation for mankind was effected. We celebrate that Gift from the Father”. Then He said firmly “ Don’t miss out”. I was so taken by surprise. I remembered how exactly I lost my zeal for Christmas, I visited a mega-church in London. The Bishop shredded Christmas and said its pagan worship, including the trees and all. So, I started ignoring the birth of my Bridegroom King, not realising He enjoys when His Bride prepares and makes a fuss about His Birthday. Jesus loves it when His Bride makes a Fuss(He is a real man and enjoys the attention from His Bride).  To discourage Christmas celebrations, the enemy is telling people to abort Christmas it’s all pagan worship. But worship is in the Heart. Nobody should tell you who you are worshiping. True worship is personal, and Christ looks at the heart. At Christmas my true Worship goes to the King of Kings, The Lord Jesus Christ. Its His Birthday. I have purposed in my Heart that I am wholeheartedly celebrating the Birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Then I asked Him, when He was born really? He wisely said, Lets follow the Dates that have been chosen by God’s children. Heaven joins in these celebrations. Can you imagine the Day the day when an announcement was made in Heaven” Behold the child has been born on planet Earth, who is the saviour of the World”.

WORD OF THE WEEK (21-11-18)

WORD OF THE WEEK (21-11-18)

This week “ The Parable of the Persistent Widow”

18 Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, ² saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor ^[a]regard man. ³ Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ^[b]‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ ⁴ And he would not for a while; but after ward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, ⁵ yet because this widow troubles me I will ^[c]avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ ”

⁶ Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. ⁷ And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? ⁸ I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”

ARE YOU ABOUT TO LOSE HEART?

Here we find Jesus reaching out to us. I know so many people have been waiting for so long they want to lose heart. DON’T! THIS MUST HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM IN THE COMMUNITY THAT THE LORD DECIDED TO ADDRESS IT.

If you look at the history of Israel at this time, they were expecting a liberator. They were tired of Roman rule and too many taxes. Their hearts were melting. Jesus decided to encourage them, not by providing the fish, but by teaching them how to fish for answers from God. He says you are to continue praying and not stop. Then he gave a story about a persistent woman who would not be denied. Even though the Judge wasn’t co operating at first, but the woman continued coming UNTIL HE GOT TIRED. He then decided to grant the woman’s plea. Jesus called that faith. What is exciting about faith? It’s the WAY to the heart of God the Father. Without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE….

Hebrews 11:6 New King James Version (NKJV)

⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

GET THE HINT FROM JESUS” PRAY ALWAYS AND NOT LOSE HEART.

THE WORD OF THE WEEK PART 2

12-11 2018

CONTINUED FROM PART 1

GOOD DAY

Today we continue with the story of Abraham and his promise from God. 

We did mention that we can learn a lot from Abraham the Father of faith. We did mention, FAITH, PATIENCE, PERSEVERENCE. We do not hear Abraham murmuring and complaining or being angry with God. Never once did he accuse God of anything. but the bible shows us his state of mind at the time of waiting.  

ROMANS 4:13-25

The Promise Granted Through Faith

¹³ For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. ¹⁴ For if those who are of the law areheirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect, ¹⁵ because the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.

¹⁶ Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be ^[d]sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all ¹⁷ (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; ¹⁸ who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.” ¹⁹ And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. ²⁰ He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, ²¹ and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. ²² And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.”

²³ Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, ²⁴ but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, ²⁵ who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.

This is remarkable, and no wonder God was pleased! This man was a great man of Faith. We learn a lot by following his example. While I was pondering this great example, the Holy Ghost spoke to me. We know that all Scripture was written for our example and learning.  (V23 above) If we are open minded God will teach us a lot through His word. We will learn through what is written which is the (LOUD TEXT) and we will also learn by what is not written the silent text.  We can also learn a lot by what he didn’t do but should have done.

QUESTION FROM THE HOLY GHOST?

Why didn’t Abraham enquire from The Lord about His promise? Why didn’t He talk to God? Maybe God was waiting for Him to ask. God may wanted Him to make conversation. WHY?

Because He is a relational God. He delights in Fellowship. He loves us so much that He wants us to ask questions. God delights in conversation. We see Him and Abraham talking and getting into a debate just a few chapters later. God had just told Abraham that He was Going to destroy the two wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham starts interceding for the city, arguing that God the Righteous Judge of the whole earth would be unjust, if He destroyed the good people with the evil people. Take a look

Genesis 18:16-32 New King James Version (NKJV)

Abraham Intercedes for Sodom

¹⁶ Then the men rose from there and looked toward Sodom, and Abraham went with them to send them on the way. ¹⁷ And the Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing, ¹⁸ since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? ¹⁹ For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the Lord, to do righteousness and justice, that the Lord may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.” ²⁰ And the Lordsaid, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grave, ²¹ I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know.”

²² Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the Lord. ²³ And Abraham came near and said, “Would You also destroy the righteous with the wicked? ²⁴ Suppose there were fifty righteous within the city; would You also destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous that were in it? ²⁵ Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”

²⁶ So the Lord said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.”

²⁷ Then Abraham answered and said, “Indeed now, I who am but dust and ashes have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord: ²⁸ Suppose there were five less than the fifty righteous; would You destroy all of the city for lack of five?”

So He said, “If I find there forty-five, I will not destroy it.”

²⁹ And he spoke to Him yet again and said, “Suppose there should be forty found there?”

So,He said, “I will not do it for the sake of forty.”

³⁰ Then he said, “Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Suppose thirty should be found there?”

So He said, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.”

³¹ And he said, “Indeed now, I have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord: Suppose twenty should be found there?”

So He said, “I will not destroy it for the sake of twenty.”

³² Then he said, “Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak but once more: Suppose ten should be found there?”

And He said, “I will not destroy it for the sake of ten.” 

What can we learn from this conversation? Think about these things and discuss them

In your groups. We will continue text week when we conclude next week…. 

BYE NOW HAVE A BLESSED DAY!
