    Hope : it’s not over

    07 June 2026 - Hope : It’s not over Romans 12:18 NKJV If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Hope is expectation or desire Enemies of hope: Written off / Discredited / Labeled as finished Not wanted / Rejected Failed / lost confidence / not trusted Job 14:7-9 NKJV "For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And that its tender shoots will not cease. [8] Though its root may grow old in the earth, And its stump may die in the ground, [9] Yet at the scent of water it will bud And bring forth branches like a plant. Every predictable journey starts, goes through, and ends just like men expect it to.  On the other hand an unpredictable life is only determined by God.  Trees play a vital role in; purifying the air, regulating local climates, preventing severe soil erosion,cycling vital nutrientsWater of life John 7:37-39 NKJV On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. [38] He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." [39] But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. With love, Pastor Tadala

    Talk it out to God

    Talk it out to God * Written invitations are good however nothing beats a verbal invitation. Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; [7] and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Anxious - feeling or showing worry, nervousness, or unease about something with an uncertain outcome. Supplication - the action of asking or begging for something earnestly or humbly. 2 Chronicles 7:12-14 NKJV Then the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him: "I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice. [13] When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, [14] if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. * The secret and key is in your prayer. 2 Chronicles 20:5-12 NKJV Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court, [6] and said: "O LORD God of our fathers, are You not God in heaven, and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations, and in Your hand is there not power and might, so that no one is able to withstand You? [7] Are You not our God, who drove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel, and gave it to the descendants of Abraham Your friend forever? [8] And they dwell in it, and have built You a sanctuary in it for Your name, saying, [9] 'If disaster comes upon us-sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine-we will stand before this temple and in Your presence (for Your name is in this temple), and cry out to You in our affliction, and You will hear and save.' [10] And now, here are the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir-whom You would not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them and did not destroy them- [11] here they are, rewarding us by coming to throw us out of Your possession which You have given us to inherit. [12] O our God, will You not judge them? For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You." * Have your facts ready when talking to God. Which is His word and what He has done for you. With love, Pastor Tadala

    The word of God is my therapy

    Sunday 10 May 2026 - The word of God is my therapy  Church service - 5 course spiritual meal (praise, worship, starter, main, desert) We’re living in an age where there there is always an option.  Job 14:7 KJV For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. treatment intended to relieve or heal a disorder  2 Chronicles 20:15-17 KJV And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's. [16] To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel. [17] Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you. You have a responsibility over your happiness.1 Thessalonians 5:16 NKJV Rejoice always, Life is shorter than you think. Worrying plus stress will make it even more short.Learn to allow God, be God.Matthew 6:25-34 NKJV "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? [26] Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? [27] Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? [28] "So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; [29] and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. [30] Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? [31] "Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' [32] For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. [33] But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. [34] Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. It is good to have success on earth? However understand that it is only for a while.Matthew 24:35 NKJV Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. The word of God is everything Hebrews 4:12 NKJV For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Psalm 107:20 NKJV He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions. Psalm 42:1-2 NKJV As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God. [2] My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?

    Everything has a beginning

    Everything has a beginning Proverbs 14:23 NKJV In all labor there is profit, But idle chatter leads only to poverty. A point in timeLong challenges (difficulty or effort) and battles (opposition or conflict) leaves mental scars which become enemies of our faith. Genesis 1:1 NKJV In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Healing, Peace, Joy, Victory, Blessings, Favour, Knowledge, Wisdom, Understanding, Change, Transformation, Anointing, faith journey, Growth1 Kings 18:41-45 NKJV Then Elijah said to Ahab, "Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain." [42] So Ahab went up to eat and drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; then he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees, [43] and said to his servant, "Go up now, look toward the sea." So he went up and looked, and said, "There is nothing." And seven times he said, "Go again." [44] Then it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, "There is a cloud, as small as a man's hand, rising out of the sea!" So he said, "Go up, say to Ahab, 'Prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops you.'" [45] Now it happened in the meantime that the sky became black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy rain. So Ahab rode away and went to Jezreel. Even Jesus Christ on earth, had a beginning.Luke 1:34-35 NKJV Then Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I do not know a man?" [35] And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. Appreciation is born from understanding that small is also a victory (win).  With love, Pastor Tadala
