Today I met Ryan in Kaitaia on his WALK FOR CHRIST

Posted on by

Today I met Ryan Craig on his Walk for Christ from the bottom of the South Island of New Zealand to the top of the North Island of New Zealand on Commerce Street here in Kaitaia.

Ryan lives in Twezel on the South Island of NZ and works in a bee keeping business. He is 25 years old and wants to see God move in this nation.

The following is from his pamphlet he gave me:

“GOD WILL LIFT UP THE HUMBLE!

God said:P1220310

‘If My people who are called by My name put away their pride and pray, and look for My face, and turn from their sinful ways, then I will hear from heaven. I will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.’

 

THE BIBLE

Second Chronicles 7:14-15

(New Life Version)

RYAN’S TRANSLATION

I had a picture in my mind of a cross behind a window. The window represents the church. The cross represents Christ.

The window is fractured into thousand of fragments. This represents divisions and hurts in the church, so people can not see Christ through the church clearly.

I am challenging all followers of Jesus Christ to pray and repent together and seek the face of God.

That way people outside the church can again see Christ in the church.”P1220299

Sermon Outline – OT (NIV)

“This is what the LORD Almighty,

Jeremiah 7:3-9

Intr.:

the God of Israel,

says:

1.  Reform your ways and

your actions,

and I will let you live in this place.

2.  Do not trust in deceptive words and say, ‘This is the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD!’

3.  If you really change your ways and

your actions and

4.  deal with each other justly,

5.  if you do not oppress the alien,

the fatherless or

the widow and

6.  do not shed innocent blood in this place, and

7.  if you do not follow other gods to your own harm,

then I will let you live in this place, in the land I gave your forefathers for ever and ever.

End:

But look, you are trusting in deceptive words that are worthless.”

Skinned Bananas!

“REMEMBER THE BANANA – WHEN IT LEFT THE BUNCH IT GOT SKINNED.”

I received that one-liner by E-mail long ago with many others.

People who know their BIBLE remember one particular verse when they read that one-liner. The verse is Hebrews 10:25 where it says in the NEW LIVING TRANSLATION:

“And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.”

THE AMPLIFIED BIBLE says that we should admonish one another, that means warning, urging and encouraging one another.

Union is strength, let us remember that.P1160940-768x1024

And this is what Ignatius says, “When ye frequently, and in numbers meet together, the powers of Satan are overthrown, and his mischief is neutralized  by your likemindedness in the faith.”

Not long ago I came across the following quote by Wilma Rudolph, “When the sun is shining, I can do anything; no mountain is too high, no trouble too difficult to overcome.”

I hope we do not only attend Church Services when the sun is shining, but also when it is raining and thundering.

“Remember the banana – when it left the bunch it got skinned.”
