Greetings, gentle people in Christ.
This walk we have with Christ is not an easy one, we find ourselves falling in the same bondages eg(depression, lusting,liaring...etc), but Christ has come to set us free and He says you can receive whatever you ask from my Father in my name and He says that when two or more pray in unity, thats where I shall be.
I just want to touch on that, we need to pray for each and agree together, to break whatever bondages, you and i may be suffering from.
In our sharing and caring for each(whilst praying), we are both strengthen in Christ.
So please email us on come2jesus@ukriko.com for prayer, for strengthening in His word. Do not hesitate, do it now, if you need the move of Christ in your life, if you are tired of being sick and tired of the same old tiring,limited,bonded life.
We are chrildren of the most high God and joy,love and peace belong to us. We need more of Christ in our lives.

Psalm 95:1-2
“Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.” Psalm 95:1-2
Qoute:It's funny hoe God looks at things, in the above verse, He doesn't speak about problems, situations or circumstances....He just wants us to be happy regardless of what's going on in our lives. His Spirit has filled us with joy, eternal joy, so whatever it is you are facing, just laugh and rejoice, and rejoice again, because that's what God wants you to be like!

Jehovah Jireh
Genesis 22:14
So Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. And to this day it is said, "On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided."
2 Corinthians 9:8
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work
Psalm 121:1-2
I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Matthew 6:24
"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
2 Timothy 1:12
he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day
Ephesians 3:20
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us
Philippians 4:19
And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus
2 Corinthians 9:10
Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness
Money is not our provision, God is. He provides the seed to sower, He meets your need, He gives you your hearts desires, it is not money. For too long we (Christians) have looked at a situation and hope/prayed for money for it but not actually praying for the situation to meet by God, we are determining His means of provision. Money is just a tool on this earth for people to have order in obtaining things of this earth. Imagine if everything was for free…..the people were going to fight over that certain thing, they might even kill each other. The Bible says that “man’s heart is evil”. But the greed of money becomes incorrect….
Some people find joy when they see their bank account is full, or they have money in their pockets, What happen to the Joy of the Lord? Search yourself to see if money or things of this world is the centre of your joy…..Seek first the Kingdom and all these things shall be added unto you. Therefore if you work harder in getting a car, than working harder to spend time with the Lord and serve Him, then you have things the other way around. Let me put it this way: if it gives you greater joy to drive a BMW/live in Umhlanga than spending time in His Presence, then you got things turned the other way around, He is our first love.
We tend to put money before God, and this is idle worship! Our prayers are based on needing money than needing His Provision. A situation of need is just to test you if you trust in Him or your own means, some start by the loan shark before asking for the Lord’s provision, Who is first,kanti? We are just stewards of the works of His hands, He owns the gold and the silver, you are just entrusted(Matthew25:14) with it, and as He has entrusted you with His possessions, He has given you orders regarding them:
1. Pay tithes (10% of what is entrusted to you)
2. Give to the needy (not poor , but needy this means anyone in need)
3. Pay offerings
These 3 instructions are to keep the everything flowing and accessibility of things be primary to all. If you practice these 3money principles, there’ll never be a lack in your life, because you understand the Source of the money and how He wants it to be used. But we are not on discussing these 3principles of money, these can be done another day, God willing.
Let us know who is our Source, and meditate on Him through His Word, have faith in Him, let Him be indeed first in all things in our lives, our firstfruits, our Beginning and our End. We need to walk in a dimension of faith, where money plays no value, it is the Lord who is the Source and Result, our own wilderness, just like the children of Israel, where all their gold (money) did not matter, they desperately needed Provision from God for food, shade and light. Their money couldn’t buy them manna, cloud, fire…their need could only be filled by God. There’s a lot for us to learn from this situation, because first of all , it was God who told them to get the gold and silver, then He lead them to the wilderness where their gold had no value, but only God. It is God who gives you the money but remember that it is He who holds more value than money, seek Him first and He can supply above what you think or can ever imagine.
If you don’t have money now, it doesn’t mean you are going to die, or it doesn’t mean you are of no value, you must know what God says, and what God says is law, it must be done, so seek Him and all things will follow!!!
Genesis 22:14

HE has no favorites
Todays word is taken from Matthew:20 1-16
The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard
1"For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard. 2He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.
3"About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. 4He told them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.' 5So they went.
"He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing. 6About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, 'Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?'
7" 'Because no one has hired us,' they answered.
"He said to them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard.'
8"When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.'
9"The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius. 10So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. 11When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. 12'These men who were hired last worked only one hour,' they said, 'and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.'
13"But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? 14Take your pay and go. I want to give the man who was hired last the same as I gave you. 15Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?'
16"So the last will be first, and the first will be last."
......................................................................................
In HIS eyes we are all the same, no one better than the other. Therefore we cannot gloat about "our salvation" and how saved we are, as we have received HIS salvation when we did not know HIM, and HE saved us. We need to love others, even the unsaved so they will see the light within us, so they can be saved, even the saved who haved stumbled will be reminded about CHRIST and follow HIM.
Lets all do our little bit by loving one another as HE has loved us.

Pick Up Your Cross
Mark 8:34 amplified
34And Jesus called [to them] the crowd with His disciples and said to them, If anyone intends to come after Me, let him deny himself [forget, ignore, disown, and [a]lose sight of himself and his own interests] and take up his cross, and [[b]joining Me as a disciple and siding with My party] follow [c]with Me [continually, cleaving steadfastly to Me].
It is better to live for Christ than to have everything and not know HIM. Christ is eternal life, the Son of the Living God. If we really want to be HIS disciples we are to forget about our personal interests and do HIS will daily. What is HIS will or interests?
It is to have everyone saved and the saved to live in HIM and like HIM.
Prayer:
Thank you heavenly Father, for your name is glorious,most precious and wonderful.
May it be kept holy forever more.
thank you Lord for revealing Your word and love to us.
We don't know how to truely thank you, for your salvation is awesome.
Thank you for Your mercy.
Blessed be your name o' Creator of heaven and earth. There is none like You.
Honour belongs to You, righteous You are. Praise and glory be to God. The ancient King.
Amen.

Brand New
1 Peter 2:1-3
So rid yourselves of all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all slander. Like newborn infants, desire the unadulterated spiritual milk, so that you may grow by in it[your] salvation, since you have tasted that the Lord is good.
In this verse, Peter talks about leaving all bad characteristics so we can become like newborn infants seeking spiritual milk that we may grow in the Lord. We cannot grow in the Lord if we still have attitudes and characteristics of the world, but we have to be like newborns who are blameless yet desiring spiritual milk. Lets replace the old attitudes with HIS righteousness(abiding in His ways) always.
Definitions:
Deceit : conceiling the truth
Envy : discontent arouse by another's better fortune (jealous of other's fortune )
Hyprocrisy: pretence, false claim to virtue.
Wickedness: immoral, sinful, spiteful, private jealousy
Slander : false and damaging utterance about a person.
Have a great day people of God and strive to be different in all you do, putting God first. God bless.

Do Not Harden Your Heart
“Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. Today, if you hear his voice,do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah, as you did that day at Massah in the desert,” (Psalm 95:6-8)

Let The Light shine through you
1 John 3:24
Those who obey his commands live in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us
1 John 1:5
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all
1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
1 John 3:9
No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.
1 Peter 1:23
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
John 3:30
He must increase, but I must decrease.
John 1:4
Life was in Him, and that life was the light of men
He is the Light, and the Light is in you, therefore It must shine to be effective. Matthew5:16 promises us that when this Light shines in us, It brings Glory to the Father. How do you get this Light to shine? Since what you have received (Light) is a seed and an Imperishable/Eternal One, It therefore means there’s a tree/forest hidden in that seed, but the only way a seed will grow to a tree/forest, is if the soil it’s planted in, is a good manufacturing soil, and also it needs to be ‘properly’ watered according to it’s kind of seed, e.g: some seeds are watered by the rain, others need to be watered by man daily. But this One is imperishable/Eternal , therefore it needs watering everytime (every second) . How do you water it? Through the Word of God and the presence of the Holy Spirit everytime, this is how you water It.
Now, about the soil, this is you (Genesis2:7), you are the manufacturing soil for the Seed. How you live will reflect what’s in you (the mouth speaks from the abundant of the heart), if you live this Seed that you have received in you, this will then make you a ‘good manufacturing soil’ ( a Doer of the Word). This (John3:30) is how He increases and you decrease, by you allowing Him to be the abundant overflow of your life, when they look at you they see Jesus, and this is when the scripture in Matthew5:16 comes to effect, In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
Those who obey his commands live in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us
1 John 1:5

New T-shirts
Ukriko has done a 2 new t-shirts for girls and this is just one of them and the other is in brown and gold birds, sorry guys. Guys stuff is also available, (church-boy) has 2 tees also. More pictures to come soon.These shirts we inspired by the scripture, Matthew 6:26.
check out http://www.ukriko.com/ for information.
Living for God ( a new life )
Living for God is what we need to practice daily as we grow spiritually. We are to hate sin, change our attitudes and love righteousness. We no longer live our lives like the unsaved no more. But we live to please Him, who has branded us in His blood.
So what does it mean to live for God?
It means no more lusting, no more drunkeness, orgies, carousing, debauchery and idolatry. (1Peter4)
Definitions:
Lust: strong sexual desires
Orgies: wild party with sexual activity
Carousing: have a lively drinking party
Debauchery: excessive sensual indulgence
Idolatry: worshipping idols/things
Now the bible says we must leave these things behind and focus on living for God. We are to be holy as He is holy.
Holy: morally and spiritually perfect
Moral: good or bad human character or behaviour
We are to be like Him as He is holy, that means no more lusting, no liars, no deceit, no pride, no hatred, no judging others but to love one another as we love ourselves.

When the Lord is your Shepherd, what will happen in your life?
When the Lord is your Shepherd, what will happen in your life?
First, you will live a day at a time. "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life" (v6). Psalm 23 talks about all the days of our lives, and they are lived one day at a time when the Lord is our Shepherd. Someone has said that the average person is being crucified between two thieves- the regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow. Consequently, he can't enjoy today.
Second, when the Lord is your Shepherd, you listen for His voice. In John 10:27 the Lord Jesus said, "My sheep hear My voice." The Shepherd does not drive his sheep from behind. Rather, He calls them from ahead. How do we listen to the Lord's voice? Through the Word of God.
Third, when the Lord is your Shepherd, you must expect changes. You may have green pastures and still waters. Then you go through the valley of the shadow of death. You have a table in the presence of your enemies. Then you live in the house of the Lord (heaven) forever. You will experience changes in life. Expect them; don't be afraid of them. When you follow the Shepherd, the future is your friend, because the Lord is going before you. Live one day at a time, following the Shepherd, and you won't have to be afraid. Some people fail to adapt to life's inevitable changes. As a believer, you need never fear the future. Trust the Shepherd, who goes before you, and listen to His Word. Commit this day to the Lord and thank Him for His guidance."

Knowing His word is not enough!
Today we will be looking into the book of Matthew 7:15 to 20. Here Christ speaks about false prophets, those who use His word, call upon Him but do not do His will.
15"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
He teaches us how to identify false prophets, He says we will notice them by their fruit, by their actions. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. He says "A tree that does not produce fruit will be chopped and thrown into the fire."
What does this mean?
It means that those who speak the word to be seen as goodbut do not live by His will/word are false believers thus their actions will reveal their true self. Yesterday we spoke about the will of the Father, and the will is for us to love one another and obey and love His commands as our Lord and saviour. We have been set apart for Him only, to bring glory to Him. Now if we only speak the words of the bible so fluently but do not believe them and do them, then we are false prophets too.
The next verses explains why we have to do the will and true prophets. Matthew 7:21-23.
21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!
To do His will is to do what He has told you to do without question.It is very important that we do the will of the Father in Heaven so we can relate to Christ as we saw in yesterdays blog, that His brothers and sisters and mother are those who do the will of the Father in Heaven. Knowing the word is not enough we have to practice living it everyday. We can start by loving the people we hate the most, praying for our enemies, giving because it is our nature and making sure His word is active in our lives. We are created to do good so He can be glorified by men when they see us living out His will on earth.
Prayer:
Our Father in heaven may your name be glorified, honoured and most respected
May your kingdom last forever in heaven and on earth.
We lift you up Lord as you deserve all the honour.
We thank you for todays word and that you have opened our ears to hear your will and that we may be doers of it.
We thank you that you know our needs before we do and you supply everything according to your will.
Thank you Father that your glory and your will is revealed in us and becomes active.
Thank you for another day in your presence, may You be glorified always
Praises belong to you, we cannot thank you enough for your glorious works,
May your Kingdom last forever on earth as it is in heaven, amen.

What is the will of the Father in Heaven?
Today we take a look at what is doing the will of the father. Taken from Matthew 12:46 -48
Definitions:
Relationship: connect to another, common background
Will : strong desire, intention, legal written directions,faculty by which a person decides what to do
Faculty :: authority,authorization
Jesus was told that his mother and brothers were waiting outside wanting to speak to him, but Jesus answered,"Who is my brother and my mother". Then pointing to His disciples He says "these are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father that person is My brother, My sister and mother."
In that passage of scripture we see that in order to relate to Christ we have to do the will of the Father, and this is being in relationship with Christ.
Definitions:
Relationship: connect to another, common background
Will : strong desire, intention, legal written directions,faculty by which a person decides what to do
Faculty :: authority,authorization
So this means that, in order to connect to Christ or have a common backgroung to be related to Him and be one, we have to do the will of the Father. So what are the Father's intentions and strong desires? What is it that He wants us to do and live by? Is it or us to love one another and love Him with all our hearts and souls and our strength? Is it to live our lives entirely for Him? Is it for us to know how His Kingdom functions so we can have on earth again? Is it for us to hate evil and love good and seek His Kingdom and His righteousness?
My friend i believe it is all these things that we are to do and live by, starting by loving one another like we love ourselves for we all love God and our Lord and savior, so why can't we love one another?

What Defiles a Man?
Mark 7:21
Christ speaks about evil hearts and what defiles a man within the chapter. He says what defiles a man is what comes out of his heart and not what he puts in his mouth.
"For from within, out of people's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immoralities, evil actions, deceit, lewdness, stinginess, blasphemy, pride and foolishness."
-The first thing that defiles a man is his evil thoughts that produce all the other evil actions. The Lord started with evil thoughts, why? Because as a man thinketh so is he.
This is powerful, because we become what we think. In most cases what we think is influenced by what we've heard.
-Words are a powerful tool that we are to use to become the people HE has called us to be. All we have to do is repeat his words over and over, because the human mind learns by repetition. We have to change our thoughts which means our words in order to be effective. We have to recognise and be aware of the words we speak as those words/thoughts become flesh in our lives.
-Definitions:
foolishness : unwise, lacking of good sense
pride : satisfaction of one's own achievements, high opinion of one's worth
lewdness : obscene, lustful, indecent, corrupt
blasphemy : treat a sacred subject irrevently(lacking reverence, no religious respect)
deceit : concealing the truth, dishonest trick.

Keyz to the Kingdom
Keyz to the Kingdom
Matthew 16:19
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth is already bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth is already loosed in heaven.
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth is already bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth is already loosed in heaven.
Jesus said this to His disciples right after Peter called Him the ‘Son of God’, just when He promised to build His church that no hell will accomplish/overtake. And the above verse is a package for His church. The first two words of this verse ‘I will’ makes it clear that, this authority comes from Him, not from our own doing/works, and also makes it clear that if you are not in Jesus Christ, this does not apply to you. if you are not in Jesus Christ, hell can still prevail over you and you have no authority to stop hell because you are not in the ‘Authority Giver’, you are not in Jesus Christ. This authority was given to before we sinned (Genesis1;26), but we used it correctly because of our sin and the absence of the Holy Spirit, but now this authority is available in the correct manner, which is with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and only found in Jesus Christ. God gave us this authority and because of the absence of the Holy Spirit, He gave us laws (10commandments) to follow so that we correctly use this correctly, but we went astray from His law and misused this authority, but here it is, in Jesus
Everything was made through Jesus Christ (Hebrew1:2), so in order for you to reap the good/destined things of this age and the next, you need to be in Jesus Christ. You, saved person, can bind anything here on earth and the Heaven will respond to your action, just like how Heaven responded to Adam, when he was naming the animals. So the situation that you are looking at right now, bind it in Jesus Name, and Heaven will respond by doing the same, and it will be done for you, you just have to believe (John16:23 & 1John5:14). When you are saved, you inherit the promises and the Kingdom of God, and no longer just children but now you are daughters & sons, therefore you have full rights and privileges to access the things of your Father (Galatians4:1-7).
So bind everything that is not of God, and loose everything that is from God, so that the earth be filled godliness and dignity (1Timothy2:1-3). 
UKRIKO presents the “Keys to the Kingdom” range, focused on the above Word, promoting the authority we have in Jesus. We therefore bind every hurdle brought against this range and loose the freely moving of the Holy Spirit upon this range of clothing, to take it to another level and reveal the promises of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

He is the Life
The Lord gives us life and He says choose life or choose to be in Him or live for Him to truly experience life.
Jeremiah 21:8 But you must say to this people,"This is what the Lord says. Look I am presenting to you the way of life and the way of death.
We have been given a choice, to either choose life or death. He also says if you choose to keep your life you will lose it, but if you give it to Him, you will find it.
Mark 8:35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of ME and the gospel will save it.
Christ Jesus is life,without Him there is no life and there is no life outside of Him,period. He is the giver of life. He also says, Mark 8:36 For what does it benefit a man to gain the whole world yet lose his life?
There is no life in worldly things, so do not treasure them and make them your God by putting your personal desires first. God says put Me first and make Me first in your life, let Me be your God.
Friend this does not mean you are to live a poor life and living from the remains of people,NO,not at all, it means you love Him for who He is, like you would love someone dear to you. And not only will He see to it that you have life but He will bless the works of your hands.
To fully give Him your life, is to have Him lord your life, meaning to govern your life with his desires and will. Whatever He speaks you do because when He speaks it is to benefit you, remember the time Jesus was in Canaan when He turned water into wine? Mary told the servants "do whatever He tells you" because she knew that He always does good for our benefit.
Christ has and owns everything, He is the life we are trying so hard to individually achieve, a life without stress nor guilt or shame. For Christ says He came to give us life and life in abundance. John 10:10 A thief comes only to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come that THEY may have life and have it in abundance.
We have nothing to lose for loving and giving our lives to Christ, absolutely nothing but every thing to gain.
Jeremiah 21:8 But you must say to this people,"This is what the Lord says. Look I am presenting to you the way of life and the way of death.
We have been given a choice, to either choose life or death. He also says if you choose to keep your life you will lose it, but if you give it to Him, you will find it.

PRAISE THE LORD ALL YOU PEOPLE
This scripture means that everybody must praise the Lord. What is praise? Praise is the glorification given to God by man. You know what to glorify Him for, first of all that He allowed you to read this message, meaning that He allowed you to take another breath, that’s a privilege, that’s the first point of praise. Praise the Lord all you nations, means that in every language, race must give Him praise in any form
The Israelites used Psalms to praise and worship the Lord in their meetings and probably at their homes, meaning that this Psalm (Psalm117) is based on a musical background, meaning all the nations and people of all the earth, play music that will praise Him, meaning every genre of music must be to praise Him, may it be house, rap, drum&bass, jazz…etc.. all the genres were made to praise Him. God is the only Creator, and He revealed His Majesty and Creativity when He created 6.8 Billion people on the earth each of His own uniqueness, knowing each and every hair on their heads. Since we are not the same, He created different things according to the likes of His children but all these things are created to the common factor and that is to give Him glory, e.g.: some like break dancing, ballroom, Zulu dancing..etc. but it all works out to praise the Lord (Romans8:28). Therefore no one should ever criticize anyone’s work, as long as that work/entertainment is done to praise the Lord. If I like jazz, I’ll listen to Jonathan Butler who is a great gospel jazz musician…God has created him to praise Him in that form of genre and created me to love that genre so that I support his praising the Lord.

This also means that Satan himself , will like to copy that because he likes to copy the things of God and try to use them to his advantage. This is found in Daniel3 where the king gives an order to worship his statue instead of God. He made a law that when music is played everyone must bow down to his statue, therefore this meant that when prior to that music was played and people worshiped God, as it was their custom. This still carries on to this day, some music is played to worship/praise the devil and other is played to worship/praise the Almighty God. But God gave us the ability to only make music to praise Him, but men have chosen to receive influence from Satan and compose music that praises Satan.
This range is a declaration to the whole world to
PRAISE THE LORD ALL YOU PEOPLE

Walk on Stormy Waters
Matthew 14:26-33
26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear.
27 But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."
28 "Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water."
29 "Come," he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!"
31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"
32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."
Jesus walks on the stormy waters and He tells Peter to come join Him on the water.Peter is able to take a few steps and then he shifts his focus from Christ to the stormy waters and begins to sink. After crying out to Christ for help he gets rescued and is asked "why did you doubt?"
To me this is like everyday life challenges. We tend to be more like Peter,and we are only able to walk a few steps before we sink in these challenges,only to be asked by Christ "why did you doubt?"
Now do you think that if Peter had focused on Christ, would he have sank? i doubt it. So when the troubles come my friend be like Christ bcause we are born again and washed by His Blood, to be able to overcome challenges and walk on water, trample over snakes and scorpions (luke 10:19
19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you). Therefore we are to use our authority given by Christ to bend circomstances and let them bow down to the name of Jesus, for Christ is in us and we are in Christ.
So friend i encourage you to walk on stormy waters because you have the authority to do so.

D.C.C. in D.U.T. 10 May2008
It was another door of ministry opened for the Durban Christian Center youth in Durban University of Technology. In Durban University of Technology (D.U.T.) team of future leaders had a mentorship program presentation, basically the program is aimed at the first year learners who are fresh from high school, not used to the environment of tertiary education. This program helps them settle and focus on their studies. There were many testimonies of those who went through the program, many are now entrepreneurs and are very successful in life.
It was a privilege that we (DCC youth) sat in this presentation because even though many of didn't belong to the school, but the speeches and the education was filling and something that I still carry with me. It was pleasing to us (DCC youth) that many of the speakers always made a point to refer everything to God, in fact the MC said:"You cannot do things alone, you need help from God" and you could imagine the "AMEN!!!" that came from the 'saved ones'. Little did he (MC) knew that he was actually speaking John15:5 "...you can do nothing without Me"
We (DCC youth) had to close the show!!! The DCC youth dancers, did a HOT step to the beautiful song from Yolanda Adams "I Believe", IT WAS ON FIRE. The song alone brought many memories but the dance was so fresh that it made the song sound all new again, it was a pleasant site to see the Spirit of God moving in dance, people were actually excited and touched be the Spirit of God, I believe the it was the Spirit of God who revealed to them the joy of the dance, that they applauded along with the dance....
DCC youth drama department, did a hot relevant masterpiece. This drama touched the people's heart (but obviously it was the Lord touching the hearts) in such a sense that the people caught onto it and enjoyed. I won’t even mention the song, that Drama closed the drama with, there were no mics but there was a beat...still the people could perfectly hear the lyrics and even singing the hooks, it was on FIRE!!! the hook was: " Turn back from the devil, turn back!!!" The presence of the Lord just filled the place and the Holy Spirit entertained the people of God, He just convicted the souls and yes it was a wonderful time...Proverbs16:1-"The reflections of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord" . with that promise, we just went there and reflected our hearts, just did what was in our hearts (Christ), then the Lord took care of the response of the people, and my word He did take care. after the performance/ministering, our youth leader invited people to Christ, and two were saved, our (DCC youth) hearts were beating in rejoice to see people come to Christ. We fellowshipped and ate together, I meet new friends and welcomed them to church on the Sunday, it was a beautiful site.You can catch Durban Christian Centre youth every Friday and 6pm, in South Africa Durban...
