False fathers and sons


Yesterday we finally visited one of our church friends, our lead
guitarist, my sister brought her kids with and our friend invited his
friends and children to come share bread and paste - which was all
delicious. How good it is to fellowship!
This morning we flew through our Praise and worship practice perfectly.
The team has become very familiar with some of the songs and it's a real
pleasure to do such songs, we flow so harmoniously together in excellent
synchronization. "Sing, Sing, Sing" is always such a hit and the team so
thoroughly enjoys doing it. Eben said the Ben Kleinhans' songs go well
with my voice. He also said that the worship was awesome and it was good
to hear my voice clearly.
Then various leaders shared about the apostolic conference they went to
in Durban!
Elsie sang a beautiful song with the team (which we practice at 9AM as
requested by Eben's yesterday afternoon)
The sermon was about "False fathers and sons";
It's about impersonated fathers and sons used by the enemy to deceive others
We must develop our spiritual hearing because faith comes by hearing.
Then he used Romans 16:10 & another one from Titus to show that "house"
represents a church gathering, and that "Son of man" refers to Jesus in
His earthly pre-resurrection body or followers of Christ in which the
Holy Spirit is evidently and clearly manifest.
The verse where Jesus tells us to call no man "father", he says, has to
do with giving people titles and relying on titles for honor or respect
or spiritual authority.
Matthew 23:24 and Judges 17:6-11
There are consumers,
There are producers &
There are distributors.
We must grow from just receiving to giving, to raising up those who can
train other receivers to give.
Judges 18:16;
A "house" with out a spiritual leader in their correct position is a
"widow's house"
Mark 12:38-40, Psalm 146:9, James 1:27
False sons become false fathers
Matthew 13:24-30 & 35-43
Proverbs 25:2 ("since the foundation of the world")
Revelations 5;1
The point is the false and true appear identical as the wheat and tares
look like, yet one bears fruit that is useless in other words seedless;
producing no "fruit".
Well we picked up soda fruit juice, tipsy tart and non-diary Orley whip
and went to our friends place for vegetable lasagna. We arranged the
meal so I could connect her laptop up to the internet, her email and
restore her old data from her crashed laptop - no problem, data
restored! Her husband is one of the managers or our farms and she is our
clinic sister.
The kids absolutely enjoyed playing on their vast lawns in the perfect
sunny winters day!
Unfortunately we see Jethro has a genital infection some how, so there
are more medical expenses awaiting us, but we're disinfecting it and
also praying for him, we had communion with him and anointed him with
all and we're all trusting the Lord for his healing. Tomorrow he'll go
to the doctor for anti-biotic, but I'll have to settle his previous
medical bill at that doctor probably.
