Remember your God

Deuteronomy 6:10-13

10“So it shall be, when the LORD your God brings you into the land of which He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give you large and beautiful cities which you did not build,
11 houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out wells which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant—when you have eaten and are full—
12 then beware, lest you forget the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
13 You shall fear the LORD your God and serve Him, and shall take oaths in His name.


Just few hours left before the year 2009 be written on the walls of history. It has been a good year for some of us, and for others it was not so good as they expected it to be. But I think that no matter how this year has been, the most important thing is that you are still alive. In all those things we have been through the only thing we can say it is that God has been with us. He kept us, he protected us and He is bringing us out of 2009.
I just want to tell you brothers and sisters that if He did that to us or for us, it is not that we were so special or better than others, it's because He loves us. In Deuteronomy 7:7-8, the Bible says "The LORD did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples; but because the LORD loves you...."
We can't boast ourselves for what we did but we have to boast in the Lord.

Remember your God who kept you, fought for you and gave you victory in all.
Remember your God who gave you the breath of life for free and who renewed his grace and compassion every day during 2009
Remember your God who gives you the opportunity to enter into 2010, a large and beautiful year which you did not deserve; a year full of all good things, which you did not work for.

Praise Him then for what he did and for what He is about to do. But first of all praise God for what He is; He is your all!!!!!


He asks us two things: to fear Him and to serve Him in truth and spirit during this coming year and all the rest of our life on this earth.

Remember your God in all!!!!


Remain blessed and Happy New year!!!!!!!

A Secondhand Faith is Not Genuine Faith

  Sermon:  "A Secondhand Faith is Not Genuine Faith” by Fleury Ndongozi Introduction: Dear friends, today's reflections draw inspiration from the sons of Sceva in Acts 19:13-16.  13  Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, “In the name of the Jesus whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.”  14  Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.  15  One day the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know about, but who are you?”  16  Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding. This narrative reveals the dangers of a secondhand faith, emphasizing that relying solely on external factors, even with a priestly heritage, does not guarantee genuine spiritual security. I. The Sons of Sceva's Background: These young men had

The impact of foreign and online ministries on local churches

Introduction In today's global Christian world, foreign and online ministries are growing and impacting local churches. Drawing from my own experiences with these external ministries, I aim to explore how they influence local churches, the theological implications, and the specific challenges faced by diaspora churches, especially African diaspora, trying to replicate their homeland models in foreign settings. I will discuss the pros and cons from a theological perspective to understand their impact on local church life. Considerations of Foreign Ministries Pros of Foreign Ministries Foreign ministries bring global perspectives and new approaches that can enrich local church practices. Theologically, the concept of the universal body of Christ supports the idea that the Church is not limited to any single culture or place. Philippians 2:4 encourages believers to look beyond their own interests and consider others', suggesting a collaborative relationship between local and forei

When generals fail their soldiers

”And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.“ Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ A few years ago, I had the privilege of preaching a message entitled "Don't bury your general alive," emphasizing the importance of supporting and protecting the servants of God.  Today, I'd like to share some thoughts on the reversed event and talk about "When generals fail their soldiers," where I want to address some issues church members can encounter because of the misbehavior of pastors in the church.  The topic of this message might not be popular, but my prayer is that you might know the truth that can set you free These points I want to share are not just theoretical; I have encountered them personally or have served as a counselor to those who have gone through the same issues. It's a topic that weighs heavily on many people's heart, knowin
