SPIRITUAL WARFARE
A LIVING
SACRIFICE and LOVE IN ACTION
(Romans 12)
“Go therefore and
make disciples of all nations”
(Matt 28:19)
With blind
faith and one thing in my head, to visit and see how the Kalahari San live, we
started this incredible journey in 2011 and with “Blessing” the Toyota Tazz
packed to the rafters with camping gear, the Jesus and Magdalena Films,
Broad & Narrow Way Posters, some Bibles, very little funds and much
criticism, we set out to visit isolated San villages in the Kalahari. In three
months we travelled from Cape Town to Johannesburg/Pretoria, Botswana, Namibia,
Angola, Namibia, Botswana and back to Cape Town.
We are in a constant battle, a Spiritual Warfare, and our
faith is always tested by obstacles in our life. The more work we do in Jesus
name and the more sacrifices we make, the more Satan gets aggravated, he tries
to attach sickness to your body, lack to your finances, chaos to your home and
confusion to your mind. Through the Lord Jesus Christ we can change all these tests
into a testimony. On my four year quest to
discover my purpose I have found that with God all thing are possible and that we
are all created to be of service to others A Living sacrifice & Love in
action - Reach Out and Touch Love - Creating, Working
and Giving is Love made Visible - God Is Love!
I am so
great full for God's Living Word, the Bible, many prayer partners and Christian
literature. Specifically books and teachings from the late and great Christian
leader Dr Myles Munroe. I recommend these two books "Understanding
Your Potential" and "Maximise Your Potential". I quote
from these books:-
“Satan is
our enemy. He wants to destroy the power of God within us so that God’s glory
is not revealed in us. He’s out to destroy all we could be because he knows
that those who become re-rooted in God have the ability to act like God,
showing his nature and likeness. The key to
releasing God’s power within you is living with Him in a relationship of
obedience and submission. You are filled with heavenly wisdom, but you have to
follow God’s program to benefit from it.
We are all
created because there is something God wants done that demands your presence on
this planet. You were created with inherent abilities, talents, gifts, and
inclinations to fulfil this purpose. The responsibility to use what God has
stored within you is yours alone. Satan is the enemy of your created potential.
The minute we have a good idea, the deceiver will send someone to criticize our
dreams (or do something to hinder you) because he cannot permit us to
accomplish our vision. As long as we are only dreaming, he is safe and he'll
let us alone. When we begin to act on our dreams, he will hit us full force.
Potential
is fulfilled only when it is given to others. God, who is Love, created man to
fulfil his potential to love. Love is worthless until it is given away. It must
have an object to be fulfilled. Therefore God needed something on which He could
lavish his love, something that could understand and appreciate what He had to
give. Of all God’s creatures, only men and women share God’s Spirit and, thus,
can appreciate His love.
You are the
object of God’s love. Because love can be fulfilled only when the receiver of
love is like the giver, He created you like Himself, to be loved by Him and to
love as He loves. Through giving love is released. Joy is found in
participating in the pattern of giving, receiving, and giving again.”
Your created purpose
is to be of service to others – a living sacrifice –
- LOVE IN
ACTION -
- REACH OUT AND
TOUCH LOVE -
- CREATING,
WORKING AND GIVING IS LOVE MADE VISIBLE -
- GOD IS LOVE -
