Universal Woman's Day @ UCKG

What a great blessing it will be to join this event on behalf of women, not only in South Africa, but throughout the world.
We call the Saturday, after Good Friday, "Holy Saturday" but for the majority it has no holiness or joy in life, not in this Saturday or in any other day of the year. If we are going to discuss the reasons for that, my friend, they are many so we need rather to focus on the solution.
Our technique or behaviour is to  try to change what goes on around us without changing what is going on inside of us.
Some women move places, change carriers, relationships, friendships, go through a make over and for a while it seems to help but only for a while. You have been looking for validation in many areas but the solution is in you.
The only way to really benefit from circunstancial changes is if you change inside - how you see yourself, how you value your contribution to your family, society, friends, how you make the ghosts of past wrong choices go away and you use of your experiences to shape your present and build your future.
On the 19 April 2014, throughout the world, we will celebrate the "Universal Woman's Day" not adding an eloquent speech on the achievements of women in society but teaching you how to overcome whatever is hindering you from a great life - join us!
In South Africa, we will be in Khayelitsha from 11am - 54 Ntsikizi Street, Liotha Park.
I would like to invite you to visit the following links and see how much more you can achieve if you change from the inside out:

Fast of Daniel - Day Six

Today I would like to invite you, specially our female readers, to read this post carefully because we are the ones who easily fall into this trap of the devil.

Reading Neemiah 2,3,4 we learn about the opposition to the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem, in the person of Sanbalatt and Tobiah.

Sanballat and Tobiah are represented in our life not necessarily by a person but spiritually speaking who come to confront us every time we decide to invest in our spiritual life and communion with God.

Do you know how? Making us to remember of something that was said about us in the past or an injustice we have been through. From the moment those memories come back to you mind, you immediately loose the strength to carry on building your spiritual wall.

And here we have another aspect that you might need to surrender and you never realised until now: the words said by men, situations you lived years ago are speaking louder than all promises of God reiterate to you.

So how do you want 100% of God, His Spirit, His revival if you have been valuing more deeds of men?

How many times you heard (quote from verse 4): “What are these feeble Jews (replace by your name) doing? Will they fortify themselves? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they complete it in a day? Will they revive the stones from the heaps of rubbish—stones that are burned?”

And the thought of these words made you to be stuck in life?

Day Six – Time to surrender the importance given to other people’s opinions and words and to be more concerned with what God thinks of you.

Welcome 2013

Dear friends, we have very few hours to go (actually 5 only) before we break into a new year. What is the point though to jump into a new year but carrying on your old same life? Therefore, I would like to share this verse with you - may you remember it for our midnight celebration. Hope you will be with us in Soweto but wherever you will be the most important thing is to do exactly what Paul told to the church in Corinthians "THEREFORE, IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATION; OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW" (2 Cor 5:17) - do not enter a New Year only, let your old self be in the past and start it with a new life with God. This is the only way to remain and overcome in 2013. God bless you all! Thanks for your support and prayers.
