JUNXION NUUS...
Hi almal.
Dit is vir die Junxion jeug baie
hartseer om die nuus oor te dra
dat Summer ons gaan verlaat om
die roeping in haar hart te volg
van profetiese dans. Dis hartseer,
maar ons is ook opgewonde vir haar en wens haar alle sterkte toe.
Saam met Thomas beplan ons groot goed vir Vrydagaande ‘and
beyond' en is baie opgewonde daaroor. Summer, thanks for
everything. WE LOVE YOU. Ettiene en Annali (071 972 7352 /
073 279 9542)
“Through love, helping individuals to discover
their true identity and get GOD confidence.”

HERDERSBRIEF/PASTOR’S HEART
Good morning.
What a privilege it is to gather with you this
morning in the presence of our loving Father!
We have been so blessed these last few months
as we encounter a steadily growing manifest
presence of the Holy Spirit in our midst. Last
week we were so blessed as He just came and
ministered to us through the worship, words of
knowledge, through the prophetic and supernatural healings. May the Lord help us to keep
a posture of gratitude as he blesses us with His
manifest presence and goodness.
If this is your first visit to Bethlehem Christian
Centre, we would like to extend a special
welcome to you. We are glad that you have
joined us and please feel free to fill in a visitor’s
card as we would love to connect with you.
Once you have filled it in you can place it in the
offering basket or in the box at the exit.
As Danie mentioned last week, we are planning
an outreach to Zimbabwe during the July
holidays. He will again be giving information on
the trip today. Please consider prayerfully
whether or not you should be going. Previous
outreaches that I had been able to join, was
such a blessing, growing my ability to take risk
and seeing how God wanted to use me to make
a difference in other people’s lives. If you want
to join the team, speak to Danie afterwards or
call Louise at the office at 058 303 4604.
We have been trusting the Lord for a
considerable time now for someone to step
forward and take responsibility for the
Children’s Church ministry. This morning I am
really grateful to be able to announce that four
moms have stepped up and said they truly
believe that, for this season, they will lead the
children’s ministry. I praise God as the body of
Christ becomes manifest and as that happens,
the world is blessed. Thank you Mari, Ria,
Anelda and Fred for volunteering. May the Lord
lead you and may you see a huge harvest on
the seed you put into the children’s lives.
Stienie and I are really excited because our two
eldest sons, Lou and Sebastian, who have been
attending the Bethel School of Supernatural
Ministry in Redding California, will be returning
home at the end of the month for the summer
break. Each time we speak with them we are so
aware of the huge growth that has taken place
and we look forward with excitement and
anticipation to not only see what has been
imparted to them but also for us as spiritual
family to receive from them. We are so grateful
for the support that we have received from you
as a family in this time, that they were attending
the school.
The new member’s class is running well. The
group is so big that we have decided to divide it
into two so that we get to know each other well.
I want to ask you as congregation to keep on
praying that we as leaders would accurately
receive the new members into our family. It is
such an important foundation in the bigger
picture of taking up our calling in our town and
region.
We have had numerous testimonies about last
week’s celebration as well as a few other
additional testimonies. This morning my heart is
full of wonder at God’s goodness! We are going
to give time for the sharing of testimonies and
then we will be pouring our gratitude back to
God through extravagant praise and worship!
May you encounter God this morning as never
before and may you have a blessed week.
Blessings Johan and Stienie.
DECLARATION:
Together with this house I passionately pursue God's presence
through extravagant praise and intimate worship, at home, at work
and at play. We advance God’s Kingdom by releasing His manifest
presence - touching, impacting and redeeming homes, regions and
the nations. This house is a safe, loving environment. I am accepted. I can be honest and transparent. As I live out my unique identity, I am encouraged to grow, to take risk and am allowed to make
mistakes. I engage in the vision of this house by giving my time
and resources. I actively engage the values of this house of
Servanthood, Love, Joy, Generosity, Honour, Worship, Integrity
and Humility.
WENGEDAGTE VAN DIE WEEK!!!
EK HET GESONDE LANGTERMYN
VERHOUDINGS (Oorwin diskonneksie)
“As ‘n mens in die geloof bly staan wanneer jy in die versoeking kom, kan jy gelukkig wees, want dit is soos die
Here ons toets. En as ‘n mens die toets slaag, sal die
Here hom die ewige lewe gee, want dit is die kroon wat
Hy beloof het aan almal wat Hom liefhet.” – Jak 1:12
Ek onthou dat ek as ‘n jong Christen gebid het, “Here,
ek wil ‘n Godsman wees!” Hy het gesê, “Goed, trou
en hê ‘n familie. Dit sal vir jou meer beteken op die
langeduur as wat Bybelskool ooit sal wees.” Christen
volwassenheid word duideliker wanneer ons onsself
gee vir langtermyn verhoudings in familile, kerk en
orals.
Dit is nie dat ek die belangrikheid van Christen lering
of teologiese skole afskiet nie, maar bediening berus
nie hoofsaaklik op wat ons weet nie. Dit kom van
wie ons is. Dit is waarvan Jakobus praat in Jak
1:12.
Wanneer ons die bybelse ‘sleutels’ vind vir die
uitdagings wat die lewe bied (om versoekings te
weerstaan), ontvang ons ‘n kroon van lewe.
Tradisionele denke sê dat dit iets is wat ons in die
hemel gaan ontvang, maar ek glo dit is meer as dit –
dit is die vermoë om lewe in te blaas in die areas
waar ons oorwinning behaal het. Ons bediening van
LEWE na ander toe is nie die oordrag van inligting
nie, maar dit is om geïmparteerde genade (grace) oor
te dra in die areas waarin ons oorwinning gesmaak
het, sodat ander makliker oorwinnend kan lewe. Dit
is veral die waarheid in ons verhoudings.
Ons moet besef dat suksesvolle, langtermyn
verhoudings ‘n mikpunt vir ons almal moet wees om
reg te kry om genade in te imparteer (i.e. die kroon
van LEWE). Hierdie mense in ons lewe kan die
egtheid van ons Christenwees bevestig, maar so ook
sal ons gesonde uitlewe van hierdie verhoudings die
nodige kroon van lewe gee om weer weg te kan gee.
Ons besef dat daar verhoudings kan wees wat
skipbreuk ly wat nie ons skuld is nie, maar om die
sleutels tot langtermyn hartskonneksies met
mense na te volg, sal meer doen vir ons
persoonlike groei en bedieningsinvloed as wat
ons enigsins kan besef. Dit is meer belangrik as
Bybelskool.
