Recharge By Pastor DeAndre Burns How often do you see this? A young man or woman nestled up in a foreign location with his (or her) cell phone plugged into the wall. Now the plug (and electricity) might not even be theirs, but they notice that they were approaching a danger zone. Their cell phone has just notified them that they have only 5% life left on their battery; and instead of letting the process just take its course, they took matters into their own hands, because who can live without their cell phone right? And, so what if it's stealing - this personal matter is so serious that immediate attention must take place. Isn't it funny that we will give more attention to the life of a cell phone battery than we do our own Spirit? You know our Spirit is also in desperate need of recharging and maintaining everyday. What do we do when we notice that we haven’t eaten in hours - do we just ignore the rumbling in our stomach? Do we say to ourselves “well, I ate a big meal Sunday so I don’t have to eat again until next week? I will just snack once a day and that should hold me over until then.” No! So, just like that battery (or our belly) we are notified when we reach our lows. When we feel depressed or start stressing over things that we normally wouldn't; when temptation (that normally doesn't faze us) starts to look desirable those are signs telling us that we need a recharge. We are always battling this flesh because our earthly suit is so corrupt Paul states it in Roman 7:18: “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.” |

Family Testimony By The Robert Mwanachilenga Family I would like to thank the LORD for his goodness and mercy. He is a faithful God. If He is not faithful to anyone, I can confess that He is faithful to me. On December 25 2011, Pastor Mike Amey asked me to teach at our Crenshaw Christian Centre Windhoek Namibia church. I taught about expanding and growing our hearts and the importance the Lord puts on our hearts. The message was well received and I bragged on the goodness of the Lord, especially to me and my family. My family and I had planned to drive to Lusaka Zambia soon after the service—a total distance of just below 2,000 kilometres. Although a very long distance, the drive to Zambia through Namibia is a very pleasant one, especially if one is not in a hurry. One can then appreciate the beautiful landscapes and different types of wildlife and flora. We were all looking forward to the trip. We even made bets on which animal we would see first. One always sees several wild animals including lions, eland, hyenas, elephants etc. We had planned to spend the night at a lodge at a small town called Rundu at the border with Angola on the KavangoRiver. If one was lucky, one would see hippos and crocodiles in the river. We planned to continue with our journey the next morning through Livingstone in Zambia. We planned to spend some time at the mighty Victoria Falls on the Zambezi Riverand then travel to Lusaka where we intended to be with my mother and other family members. We were all exited, not only for the wildlife and scenic beauty but also because my family was going to spend part of the festive season with my mother for the first time. The last time I spent the festive season with my mother was over 25 years ago before I left for my studies in Germany. |
