Today we gathered together with faith leaders at the G20 Interfaith Forum planning meeting to discuss the necessity of collaboration with all stakeholders to bring about transformation in our communities. I spoke about the critical role of the church using Luke 4:18 as the foundation where JESUS said: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me: To preach the gospel to the poor (marginalized); He has sent
Me to heal the brokenhearted (hurting), to proclaim liberty to the captives (oppressed), and recovery of sight (vision) to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed…” Jesus emphasizes compassion, a love for one’s neighbour, which means the necessity of confronting systemic evils, confronting poverty, inequality, war, speaking out against policies and practices that contradict biblical moral imperatives, and practically demonstrating the practical application of social justice.
Forsake all to be a true disciple of Christ. Surrendering everything to God brings more than we ask, without harm. Let’s shed every weight and run the race with endurance. Choose this day whom you will serve. Enough of this foolishness. From today forward, commit to being a follower of Jesus Christ. Join His army. Be His disciple. Make the decision to fight the battle. #thebattlerages
“If you are not a disciple, you lack influence. Avoid romanticizing worldly things. When they become more important than God, they bring destruction. Surrender everything in your life to God.” - Ps @bertpretorius#thebattlerages
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a historical fact! Prophesied in the Old Testament, promised by Jesus Himself in the New Testament and meeting the standards of a reliable fact-multiple reliable witnesses saw Him numerous times after His resurrection. @CharnePretorius@My3C_
Though we die here, we will live! Resurrection power lives in us! He is no longer just with is, He lives inside us! Ps @CharnePretorius@My3C_#HeIsRisen
Happy birthday to our daughter Jordan. She is 14yrs old! I am SO proud to be your dad! We love your passion for life, your love for people, and your spontaneous worship to God. Keep on serving Jesus the way you do!
We are learning to prefect the basics that shape our lives. Master the essentials until they become second nature. We need to begin with repentance that goes beyond mere remorse; it's about actively turning away from sin, committing to change, and aligning with God's purpose.
An awesome start to the G12 Mexico conference. There was such a tremendous atmosphere of faith. So thankful to the Lord, many lives touched and transformed through the power of His word, and His presence.
The Presidency of the Republic of South Africa wishes His Excellency President Matamela @CyrilRamaphosa well on the occasion of his 71st birthday.
