FAILURE, HAS PROMPTED ME TO THANK THE LORD. BY PASTOR CLIFFORD SIBANDA

The Lord is great. He achieves the best even in our limitations. Hindsight has prompted me to thank the Lord for failure. I hate failing. But my sojourn with failure is long. I am even failing to recollect its beginning. The earliest I remember is in 1979 at Lower Gwelo primary school when I was in grade one. I was position 47 in a class of 48. The one who was number forty eight had not completed writing his tests. I could not even read the report. Others had to tell me the details of my deplorable report. Yet, it is from this failure that I really bonded with my mother. She would sit up with me till eleven at night helping me with my school work. At the age of seven years!! She taught me Bible stories which significantly contributed towards determining my choices in life. If I had not failed, I would have missed this valuable experience. I failed my ...

The Great Controversy

GREAT CONTROVERSY Compiled by Y. Guirguis Solusi University B A Theology, M A. KEY TEXT: " 7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him " (Revelation 12:7 – 9) . i KEY THOUGH: A great universal controversy rages between Christ and Satan over the character of God, His law, and His sovereignty in the universe. This conflict originated in heaven with Lucifer who became Satan, God's adversary. He introduced the spirit of rebellion into heaven and, later, into this world when he led Adam and Eve to sin. This world became the theater of the universal conflict, the drama of sin and Salvation. ii WHY DO BA...

Worship

Worship. Written by Ngwenya B Lamulani The Pastor is the leader in the church. The church is the place were people have to meet to share and establish a common bond. It provides a sense of unity. The members of the church become particpants in the worship services. Their styles are a reflection of the pastorial leadership. In the worship service the Pastor therefore becomes the one to direct how the members conduct themselves. Worship is the vein which supplies the church with the blood for spiritual nutrition. The term ministers from the Greek term leitourgoi which means “servants,” “public servants,” where we derive the source of our English word “liturgy” 1 . The minister is the one who leads the lirtugical services and directs its progress. Hence h aving a minister present is not a prerequisite to having a meaningful worship service 2 . When the Pastor teachers the church how to worship God in truth and in Spirit the church will have a meaningful spiritual worsh...

The Sabbath And Africa.

Africa And The Sabbath African traditinal religion is connected to the African culture. African religion has been marginalised by main stream religions. These main stream religions are of a European stock. The type of stock which has a colonial flavour. The colonialist are the primary chronoclers of African Religion. However there tends to be doubts about the authenticity of the vericity of the what was wrtien. Tourists also areported to have been the principal authors of the African traditional religion. It becomes therefore expendient that one carefully reconciders the terms that have been employed by the colonial European historians, who have writen extensively about the African religion. A Jewish king once wrote that Ethiopia shall stretch forth his hand to Jehova 1 . Many scholars who have studied the African Religion have attached deragotory terms to it. These terms have given the implication that Africans are heartless and they can't achieve the te...
