For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:32‭-‬33

What we need vs. God’s Kingdom.

It is not a contract or compensation like ‘we do for God and He will pay my ways.’

When we seek His Kingdom, we become free from the ways of the world.

It is like growing up at a small village following the rules of the elders, then coming to Cape Town and finding out about SA government.

When you seek His Kingdom first, we learn about how it works in Jesus’s presence, which is very different from the world.

Unless we let go the ways of the world, we will not see His Kingdom in full.

It starts with one step with Jesus.

그리스도의 몸

예수님의 믿음으로 서로에게 의지하기 위해서는 서로에 대한 믿음과 신뢰가 필요하다. 이 세상에서 예수의 사랑을 나눔이 쉽지 않기에 탬비사를 위로하기위해 갔었습니다.


Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:20‭-‬21

What is a church?

I vividly remember praying for a community that share the same passion and joy in Christ.

Where a body of belivers who work to share Jesus’s love in the world and come back to find peace and comfort among believers.

Yet, I found more divisions in churches and struggles that were crippling than empowering.

My hope for a such church seemed like an unobtainable ideal.

Now, I have you, Vuku Family, where I find peace and comfort, where I find strength and courage.

Indeed, what Jesus has done through Vuku Family is beyound I could ask or imagine.

Jesus will be praised by me for ever and ever.

욘델라의 삶에서 주님의 모습을 나누려면 적어도 일년 이상을 돌아보아야 합니다. 많은 일들이 있었고, 욘델라의 얼굴에 보이는 즐거움은 주님께서 선사한 것임을 증거합니다. 이제 욘델라는 사랑하는 가족과 밝은 미래가 있습니다.


So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill. As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset.
Exodus 17:10‭-‬12

Why did God linked the victory over Amalekites with Moses arms being raised?

Certainly, every bit of the victory was God’s work.

It may signifies our attitutes or hearts when God’s work/will being done in our lives.

We can’t just be ignorant and heartless expecting God to work things out for us.

In our hearts, we have to have Son of Men raised up high focusing every bit of attention on Jesus.

And we need to help each others as Aaron and Hur had done.

Let’s raise our Lord Jesus high in our hearts together.

줄리아와 미욜로의 미팅에 참석하였습니다. 부쿠가정을 통해 변해가는 그들의 삶의 간증을 듣는 기쁜시간이였습니다.


“Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.
Joshua 1:7

It was a message given to Joshua after the death of Moses. Obviously, the message needs reinterpretations through the love of Christ.

‘Obeying all the laws’ means keeping Him in our hearts and minds at all time.

‘Do not turn from it to the left or to the right’ means not to leave God’s love.

‘May be successful where ever you go’ means God’s will and plans will be done in our lives.

Let’s seek his face today.

예수님의 사랑으로 깊어가는 우정

놀리타와 놀웨투는 오랜 친구였습니다. 처음에는 우정이 깨질까 봐 놀웨투와 부쿠미팅 시작을 꺼려했던 놀리타. 지금은 부쿠가정 책을 내려놓지 못합니다.


For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
Luke 19:10

How did Jesus find you?

He said he came to find the lost, and we all were once lost.

He came to me in my darkest hour.
He came to me when I couldn’t love myself.

As if he knew that I needed him, and offered me hope.

The hope of better days.
The hope of little help.

Now I see it wasn’t just better days or mere help.

It was a joyful life.
It was redeeming love.

I was found in Christ.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13

As I have been going around to the Vuku groups, what kept on coming to my heart was ‘hope’.

I’m starting to catch on what God is doing and what to come.

Someone might call it a vision, but I’d like to leave it up to God, what it will be. Yet I’m overwhelmed.

Out of what God has done in you, your family, and also in your group, I’d like us to dream and hope where our Lord is leading us. What we would be like together in the future. What would Jesus do through us.

Today, let’s take a breath and enjoy our hope in Christ.

힘과 용기를 기를 수 있게

코사말중에 “우타탐 우페 에데웰레 음콰지”라는 말이 있는데 이말은 ‘제 아버지는 모자를 쓰고 돌아가셨습니다’ 라는 말이고 아버지가 자기를 버리고 알고 싶어하지 않을때 하는 말입니다. 모든아이들은 세상에 나아가 설수 있을 때까지 믿고 기댈수 있는 사람이 필요하지요. 하지만 많은 아이들이 사랑을 받지못하고 자라납니다.


§§§

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38‭-‬39

What does that mean being separated from the love of God?

Death exists & life exists.
Worries of today and tomorrow exist.
There are (worldly and evil) powers that affects us.
So does height and depth.

Then, what does it mean that nothing will speprate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus?

It simply means that how scary all the things (in all creation) might seem, nothing can be strong enough to overpower the presence of Jesus in you.

Nothing…

As long as you have Jesus in you, nothing will derail you from God’s Good plan for your life.

You have a gift of life that nothing and nobody can take away.

두시간 동안을 딸에 대아여 이야기를 나눈 후에서야 희망이 생기는지 웃음을 짓습니다


By Zukisani

Luke 11: 2/3/4

The Lords prayer.

He said to them when you pray say.

Father hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. and lead us not into temptation.

Amen.

Praying is our need and when we pray we come near to God and something happens in our hearts and to our faith. when we pray we need to pray with a heart and mind that is empty of what we think we need to get by so that our Lord can come and fill us with his presence and lead us.

오늘은 탄도카지가 디보션을 나누었습니다. 성경말씀에서 자신을 발견하는 모습이 아름답습니다.


Now I appeal to Euodia and Syntyche. Please, because you belong to the Lord, settle your disagreement. And I ask you, my true partner, to help these two women, for they worked hard with me in telling others the Good News. They worked along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are written in the Book of Life.
Philippians 4:2‭-‬3

By Thandokazi

This verse is actually referring to each and every one of us who might have faced or have been facing the ups and downs in life it’s encouraging us to stand firm in the Lord not to be shaken by whatever situation we might be facing we should take heart and be encouraged by the good Lord.We need to encourage each other,to lift each other to hold hand in hand.We need to be united and walk tall for God is for us .Amen

탄도의 그룹입니다. 미팅에 깊이 몰입하는 이들을 보고 조용히 방을 나왔습니다.


My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
James 5:19‭-‬20

One of the important points of the Vuku Workbook is how significant and precious you are in Christ.

Many people feel they are helpless and powerless, but the truth is quite the opposite.

You are annointed with the power of the holy spirit and you have power to help and guide others who stumbles.

And when it is done in love, you will witness God’s miracle that lasts for eternity.

You are an annointed child of God.
