WATOTO PRESENTS

I am just back from listening to the “CHOIR OF CHILDREN FROM AFRICA.”

Whenever I visited a certain website some time ago I read,

“Preparation is more important than the actual doing.”

I remembered that today when I listened to the “choir of children from Africa” at 1pm and did not have my camera on me and the opportunity to take really good pictures.

Let us always remember the old motto:

“BE PREPARED”

Written some time ago:

HAPPY PEOPLE AND JOY IN THE COUNTRY

“People don’t notice whether it’s winter or summer when they’re happy,” says Anton Chekhov.

It’s actually winter here in new Zealand while I am writing this. It is cold, raining, and this morning we had a heavy storm and the power was off for some time. Believe it or not but the power went off again for some time while I was writing the last sentence.

In my reading of the Bible from cover to cover I read not long ago in the book called First Chronicles that “there were plentyful supplies” of everything. The reason why “there were plentyful supplies” is also given. There was plenty of flour. There were plenty of cakes made from figs and raisins. There was also plenty of wine and oil. And not only that, there were also plenty of cattle and sheep. There was plenty of food.

Why?

Because there was joy in the country of Israel. Because there was the joy of the Lord in the country of Israel.

And where you meet happy people, there is laughter. Where you find people who are full of joy there is laughter.

“Laughter is still the best medicine,” I am reading in the magazine called Reader’s Digest.

Began reading the Book “The Faith given once, for all – Jude 3” by Charles Colson and Harold Fickett

“WE WOULD SEE JESUS” by Roy Hession

Finished reading the book “We would see JESUS” by Roy Hession.

THE CROSS

“ASA

Second Chronicles 14:2-6

Intr.:

did what was

a.  good and

b.  right in the eyes of the LORD his God.

1.  He removed the foreign altars and

2.  the high places,

3.  smashed the sacred stones and

4.  cut down the Asherah poles.

5.  He commanded Judah to seek he LORD, the God of their fathers, and

6. to obey his laws and commands.

7.  He removed the high places and

8.  incense altars in every town in Judah, and the kingdom was at peace under him.

9.  He built up the fortified cities of Judah, since the land was at peace.

End:

No one was at war with him during those years, for the LORD gave him rest.”

PEACE THROUGH FRIENDSHIP.

The purpose of the World Day of Friendship is to encourage the progress of peace between people through friendship.

PEACE THROUGH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

In the Bible I am reading about “peace through Jesus Christ”. (Acts 10:36)

In the Bible I am also reading about “peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ”. (Romans 5:1)

In the Bible it speaks also about “peace through his [Christ’s] blood”. (Colossians 1:20)

There will only be peace between people through friendship with Jesus Christ.

You can read about the friendship with the Lord Jesus Christ in John chapter 15.

In John 15:14 the Lord Jesus Christ says, “You are my friends, if you do what I command.”
