PRAYER DAYS FOR CHILDREN: 2-3 NOVEMBER
Praying for our children is essential because it invites God’s protection, guidance, and blessings into their lives. Our children need the strength and protection that only God can provide in a world filled with challenges and temptations. We must pray for them and guide them to love and honour God. Psalm 103:17 (GNT) "...For those who honour the LORD, his love lasts forever, and his goodness endures for all generations..." By praying, we ask God to watch over them, help them make wise choices, and grow in faith.
The Bible encourages us to seek God’s wisdom and protection for our loved ones. Philippians 4:6 says: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." This verse reminds us that we must pray about everything, including our children's well-being and future. Our prayers can help them become strong, loving, and faithful individuals who can stand firm in their beliefs.
Regularly praying for our children and grandchildren is a powerful way to show love and trust in God’s promises for their lives. For more information about “Prayer Days for Children”, refer to the statement by the AFM of SA National Children’s Ministry shared earlier this week on social media: https://www.facebook.com/AFMOFSA
Ukuthandazela abantwana bethu kubalulekile ngoba kumema uNkulunkulu ukuthi abavikele, abaqondise, futhi afeze izibusiso zakhe ezimpilweni zabo. Abantwana bethu badinga amandla nokuvikelwa okungatholakala kuphela kuNkulunkulu kulomhlaba ogcwele izinselele nezilingo. Kumele sibathandazele futhi sibaqondise ukuze bathande futhi bahloniphe uNkulunkulu. KumaHubo 103:17 (ZUL59) sifunda ukuthi: “Kepha umusa kaJehova uphezu kwabamesabayo kwaphakade kuze kube phakade, nokulunga kwakhe kubantwana babantwana.”
Ngokubathandazela, sicela uNkulunkulu ukuba abaqaphe, abasize ekwenzeni izinqumo eziphusile futhi bakhule okholweni. IBhayibhili lisikhuthaza ukuthi sifune ukuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu futhi sibavikele abathandekayo bethu. KwabaseFiliphi 4:6 (ZUL59) kuthiwa: '”Ningakhathazeki ngalutho, kepha kukho konke izicelo zenu mazaziwe nguNkulunkulu ngokukhuleka nokunxusa kanye nokubonga. Lombhalo usikhumbuza ukuthi kumele sithandaze ngakho konke, kuhlanganise nenhlalakahle nekusasa labantwana bethu.
Imithandazo yethu ingabasiza babe namandla, babe nothando futhi babe ngabantu abathembekayo nabangakwazi ukuzinza enkolweni yabo. Ukuthandazela njalo-njalo abantwana nabazukulu bethu kuyindlela enamandla yokubonisa uthando nokwethemba izithembiso zikaNkulunkulu ngempilo yabo. Ukuze uthole ezinye izingcukatha mayelana ne "Zinsuku zokuthandazela abantwana", ungabheka umbiko we-AFM of SA National Children's Ministry owenziwe ekuqaleni kwaleli sonto ezinkundleni zokuxhumana: https://www.facebook.com/AFMOFSA
Let us also PRAY for our matriculants and every other learner who is writing end-of-year exams. PRAY for calmness and clarity of thought - where there is fear, let it be replaced by courage and confidence. We know that our children can do all things through Christ who strengthens them!
Masithandazele futhi labo ababhala izivivinyo zika-Matikuletsheni, kanye nabo bonke abafundi ababhala izivivinyo zokuphela konyaka. MASITHANDAZELE ukuthi bazole futhi babe nokucaciseleka kwengqondo - lapho kukhona ukwesaba, akube khona isibindi nokuzethemba. Siyazi ukuthi abantwana bethu bangenza zonke izinto ngoKristu obaqinisayo!
AFM WELFARE WEEKEND: FAITH IN ACTION!
Planning is underway for the 2024 AFM Welfare Weekend, scheduled annually on the AFM of SA Calendar this year from Friday, 29 November to Sunday, 1 December. The theme is: “Faith in Action”. Earlier this year, as we celebrated the AFM’s 116th Birthday, we re-introduced our “Missional Actions” (https://afm-ags.org/afm-missional-plan/) - one of the missional actions is “Care For Your Community”.
This year AFM Welfare is encouraging and inspiring AFM Assemblies to take three actions that will immediately strengthen community involvement. For more information on how your AFM Assembly can align with AFM Welfare Weekend, refer to the latest Circular from the General Secretary: https://afm-ags.org/media-articles/
Friendly Regards
