3rd Saturday Prayer

COLLECTIVE BREAKTHROUGH THROUGH COLLECTIVE PRAYER IN THE CONTEXT OF COLLECTIVE TRAUMA:

AN OPEN INVITATION TO A GLOBAL PRAYER MEETING

Rev Nicku Kyungu Mordi

“I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one…” Covid-19 shook human philosophy and left the world at a crossroad. Globally, people are in pain, confused, anxious, without hope and fearful. As Christians we are the light and salt to bring healing to the hurting world. This is an open invitation to Christians globally to unite with us for prayers of thanksgiving and to declare God’s faithfulness among the nations. Since 1993 God gave us a prayer strategy to follow. Once every Third Saturday of the month, Christians around the world unite to give God praise and honor with thanksgiving prayers. We encourage you to try –call every province in your nation and her political leaders. Lift up the flag that represent your nation and the Christian Unity Flag (Africa the Mother of humanity). It is God’s time to restore His people (Joel 2:18 –19, 21–26). As you speak His Word upon situations, He will use you in your sphere of influence for His glory (Romans 12:17-21) Are you ready?

Due to this pandemic, the human race is suffering a collective trauma. God is therefore inviting His “many membered body” to stand in the gap collectively. Men and women from all over are invited to pray with us on every 3 rd Saturday of the month, lifting our hearts and voices toward heaven and giving God the glory. God has given us a prayer strategy forAfrica and He gave veryspecific dates on which we should pray. We have been following this strategysince 1993. The call to participate in the 3 rd Day Unity in prayer; clearly demonstrates the church’ abilityto function as a body regardless of the geographical distance (Ephesians 4:16). We have received countless testimonies across nations of the transforming power of uniting in prayer.

OUR PRAYER FLAG

A flag symbolizes the following: National Identity, culture, government, ideology, etc. When in a strange land and you see your flag you automatically connect with your nation and your people.

The Praying for Africa Christian Flag is for the End Time Kingdom-minded People, who are passionate to see God’s Kingdom established in communities and nations. This flag symbolizes: • People who want to see their nation under God’s control (Psalm 24:1). • Want to co-labor with God to establish His

Kingdom in every community (Matthew 6:10). • Want to strive for end time harvest (John 17:21-23). • Believe in the power of unity (Genesis 11:6). • Yield to God’s wisdom to accomplish His purpose (Joshua 6:1-5). • Stand in solidarity with the marginalized and the oppressed (Luke 4:18-19).

We call on believers globally to unite in prayers of thanksgiving with us on these 3 rd Saturday dates: 2020: 1/18; 2/15; 3/21; 4/18; 5/16; 6/20; 7/18; 8/15; 9/19; 10/17; 11/21; 12/19

Jesus prayed that all those who believe in Him may be brought to complete unity (John17:20-23). That too is the prayer of our hearts. For more information on the 3rd Saturday prayer movement please go to www.igoafricaforjesus.org

MEET SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGIAN,

President of Good Hope Institute — an American, federally registered non-profit organization. With a programme on Kruiskyk TV on ‘The Shocking Truth About God’, Dr Barkhuizen is this issue’s cover story.

DR . PIETER ERENS BARKHUIZEN, WE ARE HONOURED THAT YOU WOULD TAKE THE TIME TO SPEAK WITH US AT TCL MAGAZINE. YOU ARE AN ORDAINED MINISTER, AN AUTHOR AND VISITING PROFESSOR OF SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY. PLEASE SHARE WITH US A LITTLE ABOUT WHEN THE LORD SAVED YOU AND HOW THE CALLING ON YOUR LIFE UNFOLDED.

When the Lord saved you: Some people can recall the day and month they were “saved”. For me, it was a gradual process since my childhood, as my Christian parents raised me in the traditional way. This included my baptism as a baby, etc. However, later, as an adult, I began to make an independent study of the Bible for myself. During this process, I was drawn closer to God and the Plan of Salvation began to unfold. I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour and Lord, and was then baptized by immersion.

YOU HAVE SO MANY INCREDIBLE ACCOLADES AND DECREES, YOU OBVIOUSLY LOVE KNOWLEDGE AND HAVE SUCH WISDOM. HOW DID THAT PASSION FOR “MORE” BECOME SO GREAT WITHIN YOUR SOUL. I GUESS WHAT WE ARE ASKING IS, HOW DO THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF TODAY BECOME BLESSED TO RECEIVE THE HUNGER FOR MORE KNOWLEDGE AND THE POWER IT HAS FOR US TO SUCCEED?

Firstly, passion for “more” knowledge: Once I discovered the Biblical Answers for my many questions about life, I simply wanted to know more and more. I wanted to drink of the Water of Life, until “I thirst no more.” The more the Truth set me free, the more I desired to keep on gaining Biblical knowledge. You can never have “enough”! Then,

addressing young people: The only way a desire or “hunger” for more information about God can take place, is when God Himself creates that need within our psyche. God is the One Who “draws” us, and young people will know when that moment occurs. The best advice would be that they position themselves in an environment that will offer such an opportunity. Join Christian Youth Groups, etc.

PLEASE EXPLAIN TO US A LITTLE MORE ABOUT JUST WHAT SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY IS?

This is a sub-discipline of the Christian faith that organizes the Bible into categorical systems from Genesis to Revelation. Some of these classifications include Theology Proper, which is the study about God the Father; Christology is the study about Jesus, the Son of the Father; Pneumatology is the study of the Holy Spirit; Soteriology is the study of salvation; Angelology is a study of angels; Thanatology is the study of what happens at the moment of death; etc. (the problem is, of course, with many “schools of interpretation”, where some Christians may view

ONCE I DISCOVERED THE BIBLICAL ANSWERS FOR MY MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT LIFE, I SIMPLY WANTED TO KNOW MORE AND MORE. I WANTED TO DRINK OF THE WATER OF LIFE, UNTIL “I THIRST NO MORE.”

topics from a different perspective or tradition) Close family-members of Systematic Theology includes dogmatics, apologetics, Christian ethics, etc.

YOU ARE REGARDED AS ONE OF THE LEADING VOICES IN THE CURRENT THEOLOGICAL DISCUSSIONS OF THE NONTRINITARIAN REVOLUTION. PLEASE SHARE MORE ON THIS SO WE CAN HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING AS IT SEEMS TO BE A GROWING MOVEMENT IN MOST COUNTRIES OF THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE, AND HAS ALSO BECAME A HOT TOPIC AMONG CHRISTIANS IN SOUTH AFRICA.

The doctrine of the Trinity is not only the central or main doctrine of the Roman Catholic church, but it is central to most Christian denominations and faith groups. However, there are millions of Christians all around the world, who are non-Trinitarians. This had been the case since Old Testament times as well as the time of Jesus, the disciples, and the Early Christians. Most of those people were monotheists, believing in only one Yahweh Elohim. During the past decade, millions of Christians began to re-evaluate their view of just Who God is, and how many God is. Millions are meeting in Home Churches, and many Protestant ministers are joining the ranks of those who believe in what Jesus taught in John 17:3 and John 20:17. Please ask for your own FREE e-book, the Shocking Truth About God and discover the Biblical details yourself. (request from radiogoodhope@aol.com)

WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO BE ABLE TO RECEIVE A FREE COPY OF THE SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT GOD FROM RADIOGOODHOPE@AOL. COM. CAN YOU SHARE A SNEAK PEAK?

This is a book about the theological concept and better understanding of Who God Is – a humble effort in straight forward language, for the casual reader. We will not only research The Shocking Truth About God Himself, but also a few other topics, such as The Truth About God’s Good News Gospel, God’s Judgment, The Truth about the Dead (and ask the question: can our deceased loved ones watch us from heaven?) We will also look at the Truth about God’s Day of Rest (Friday, Saturday or Sunday), and why so many ministers believe in a Wednesday Crucifixion. Our journey will explore the question if Jesus is God the Son, or if He is the Son of God. Then we will see if the Bible teaches that the Holy Spirit is also a “person”. We will look at the claim of some theologians that there are no humans in heaven right now, and there will never be any in heaven in the future! Another Shocking Truth about God, is the way He wants to make sure every person ever born in our world, will have an equal opportunity to hear the gospel... even those billions now alive and in their dusty graves who never had or will have a first opportunity to hear the message of Salvation. And then we will research the question of Baptism: Sprinkling, Pouring, Immersion, or no longer required? Another controversial topic under current Bible-scrutiny, is the question of Speaking in Tongues: sense or non-sense? You will enjoy our time together as we look at the Truth about God’s attitude toward Israel in the chapter on End Time events in OUR TIME!
