For the next 7 days we MUST NOT

Lie
Exaggerate
Distort the truth
We must be truthful and honest in our conversation with people around us.
If we accidently broke any one of it, we should apologise to the person and correct the statement we made and reflect the truth.

Anyways, just wanna tell the cell group that when you all reach out to your friends, must have a strong base. build up a strong relationship. otherwise, it is very difficult for them to want to go with you to nubian gents. Yeaa. Also must be prayerful. Pray for them! HAHA@

i'll type it briefly.

5th Commandment: Exodus 20:12 "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.

the highlighted part is actually a promise. the first commandment to have a promise. Amazing! :) but it shows that it's quite important.

1. Home is a place where authority is learnt.
2. Home is a place where heritage is acquired.
3. Home is a place where love is experienced.

Parents love us but they never show it out; They know more than we know ourselves.
Experience love of God by experience the love of parents; love them the way they are.

2 forces acting against us!
-trying to find our identity
-tendency to feel intense about things (extremes)

5 things to honour our parents:
1. providing them physically and financially.
2. Live an honourable life.
3. acknowledging and involving them in our life stages.
4. taking care of them all their lives
5. leading them to know Jesus.

-to use in vain : use in a careless way, flippant manner
-cuss words : cursed words. eg: 'damn it. bloody hell!' (has God's name in it), 'bugger' : a person who sodomise. 'wahlao':bad word

2.misuse God's name thru our actions
-are we being good witnesses?

-Exodus 19:4-6
-God's ppl way of life reflects directly on God
-Malachi 1:6-14

-our ations either pull peoplpe to God or pull them away from God
-we accept God, we have a trademark of God. we then bear the responsibilities\
-when we misuse God's name. we bring dishonour to Him.

'IM NOT A LEGEND, IM A SPACESHIP!'

John 10:10
Jesus did 30 distinct miracles in the Bible
Leprosy man : sometimes we're the ones outside looking at the others having fun.
Dead man : we're the living dead. lose our ability to eg, love, trust, unfufilled dreams or aspirations
Blind man : we lose our sense of direction. we cannot see what God wants us to do.
Ephesians 2:10, Jeremiah 29:11
Deaf man : we get bombarded by voices everyday. there is no clarity, thus, we dont know which to follow. eg, the voice of fear.
God gives us the right voice, its the clearest.
Spirit-possessed man : we can be controlled by something. eg, addictions, bad habits, culture, way of life or having the thoughts of being in a state of poverty
God can help us to quit and destroy it
Crippled woman : when we get hurt before, we love/trust with a limp
we think of people according to their labels and how we think they are.
we may have a definition on us, we're being defined. circumstances define us.
we dont have to live a life according to situations, circumstances or what people speak over our life.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (CONT.)

-DEUT4 :12-16

3) AVOID WHAT ENDANGERS YOUR WORSHIP
-hardened heart: over exposure and under response of the truth
-repeated exposure to a particular truth and yet refusing to embrace and apply it, develops a hardened heart
-once an individual loses the ability tto discern God's prompting, he becomes open to anything
-when we change God's standard, it isn't God's standard anymore. we create a form of Christianity- one that doesn't accurately reflect what God truly thinks
-arrogance : is what we think that God should be
-he may bear a striking resemblance to God of the Bible, but the god is personalised. a variation of the real think, it is an idol.
-invisible friends are a figment to our imagination
-God wants to strengthen our weaknesses but we struggle when He touches our weaknesses
-God left us here because He wants us to be like Him. if we don't look like Him, He will not be able to reconigse us
-a hardened heart is difficult to track because it leads to numbness
-the degree of one's hard heartedness is equal to the disparity between what grieve the person & what grieves God

2 litmus paper tests
(1) - am i grieving by the same things that grieve God?
-do i feel what God feels?
-Am i bothered by the things that bother God?

(2)Would there be many similarities between the God of the bible and the god you follow?
