Revelation 12:10 calls Satan the “accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night.” The context of the verse describes a cosmic battle between a great red dragon (identified as Satan in Revelation 12:7) and the angelic hosts of heaven. The dragon is hurled to the earth (Revelation 12:9), the authority of the Messiah is locked in place (verse 10), and the believers are victorious:
“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death” (Revelation 12:11, NKJV).
During the tribulation of the end times, Satan’s wrath against God’s’ people, especially Israel (the “woman” of Revelation 12) will intensify. But the believers are promised to overcome. Dr. Charles Ryrie comments on Revelation 12:11: “The believer’s defense against Satan is (1) to bank on the merits of the death of Christ, (2) to be active in witnessing, and (3) to be willing to make any sacrifice, including death” (The Ryrie Study Bible, Moody Press, 1978, p. 1,801).
Down through the centuries, the “great dragon” Satan has despised the mercy, love, grace, and forgiveness that God pours out on believers in Jesus Christ. With relentless, evil determination, the devil hounds us, fixated on destroying our walk with God and chasing us back into a spiritual prison. But, day by day, night by night, believers always overcome him “by the blood of the Lamb” (Revelation 12:11).
Satan’s tireless goal in the life of every Christian is to prevent, disrupt, and cut off his or her relationship with God. He “prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8). But the devil’s only real power over believers is to throw our sins and transgressions in our faces. He is the accuser. Thankfully, the sacrifice of Christ has effectively dealt with the problem. It is the blood of Jesus Christ—the blood of the Lamb—that redeems people, setting them free from slavery to sin and Satan’s control.
Scripture gives us vivid pictures of Christ’s redemptive work on the cross. Peter explains that “God paid a ransom” to save us from our old empty way of life. “And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value. It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God” (1 Peter 1:18–19, NLT). The tribulation saints will have “washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb” (Revelation 7:14). When Jesus Christ died, His precious blood “purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation” (Revelation 5:9). Jesus’ blood was poured out “for the forgiveness of sins” (Matthew 26:28), and it “purifies us from all sin” (1 John 1:7).
Satan tries to condemn us, but we overcome by the blood of the Lamb. “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death” (Romans 8:1–2). Jesus freed us from the spiritual chains of sin (John 8:35–36; Romans 6:17–22).
The next time Satan tries to hurl past failures in your face, remember that “God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned” (John 3:17–18).
All believers—past, present and future—overcome the accuser by the blood of the Lamb. Jesus Christ’s death is the definitive basis for our victory over the enemy of our souls. The apostle Paul asks, “Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us” (Romans 8:33–34, NLT). Despite everything in the devil’s arsenal that he can throw at us, “in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us” (Romans 8:37).
Paul tells the Colossians, “For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead. You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross. So don’t let anyone condemn you” (Colossians 2:12–16, NLT).
We must not allow the devil to deceive us with lies and accusations. Every charge he can bring against us is canceled, nailed to the cross, and overcome by the blood of the Lamb. It may seem strange that, in Revelation 12, a raging dragon is overcome by a slain lamb. Lambs are not usually seen as dragon-slayers. But such is the power and efficacy of the death of Christ. Because of Christ’s shed blood on the cross, sin has lost its grip on us. Whenever Satan accuses us, we can sing, “My chains are gone; I’ve been set free.”
Openbaring 12:10 noem Satan die “aanklaer van ons broers en susters, wat hulle dag en nag voor ons God aankla.” Die konteks van die vers beskryf ‘n kosmiese stryd tussen ‘n groot rooi draak (geïdentifiseer as Satan in Openbaring 12:7) en die engele van die hemel. Die draak word na die aarde geslinger (Openbaring 12:9), die gesag van die Messias word vasgelê (vers 10), en die gelowiges is seëvierend:
“En hulle het hom oorwin deur die bloed van die Lam en deur die woord van hulle getuienis, en hulle het hulle lewe nie liefgehad tot die dood toe nie” (Openbaring 12:11).
Gedurende die verdrukking van die eindtye sal Satan se toorn teen God se mense, veral Israel (die “vrou” van Openbaring 12), toeneem. Maar die gelowiges word belowe om te oorwin. Dr. Charles Ryrie lewer kommentaar op Openbaring 12:11: “Die gelowige se verdediging teen Satan is (1) om op die meriete van die dood van Christus te staatmaak, (2) om aktief te getuig, en (3) om bereid te wees om enige opoffering te maak, insluitend die dood” (The Ryrie Study Bible, Moody Press, 1978, bl. 1801).
Deur die eeue heen het die “groot draak” Satan die genade, liefde, en vergifnis wat God op gelowiges in Jesus Christus uitstort, verag. Met meedoënlose, bose vasberadenheid agtervolg die duiwel ons, gefokus daarop om ons wandel met God te vernietig en ons terug te jaag in ‘n geestelike tronk. Maar dag na dag, nag na nag, oorwin gelowiges hom altyd “deur die bloed van die Lam” (Openbaring 12:11).
Satan se onvermoeide doelwit in die lewe van elke Christen is om sy of haar verhouding met God te voorkom, te ontwrig en af te sny. Hy “loop rond soos ‘n brullende leeu op soek na iemand om te verslind” (1 Petrus 5:8). Maar die duiwel se enigste ware mag oor gelowiges is om ons sondes en oortredings in ons gesigte te gooi. Hy is die aanklaer. Gelukkig het die offer van Christus die probleem effektief aangespreek. Dit is die bloed van Jesus Christus – die bloed van die Lam – wat mense verlos en hulle vrymaak van slawerny aan sonde en Satan se beheer.
Die Skrif gee ons lewendige beelde van Christus se verlossingswerk aan die kruis. Petrus verduidelik dat “God ’n losprys betaal het” om ons van ons ou leë lewenswyse te red. “En dit is nie met blote goud of silwer betaal wat hul waarde verloor nie, maar met die kosbare bloed van Christus, die sondelose, vlekkelose Lam van God” (1 Petrus 1:18–19). Die heiliges van die verdrukking sal “hulle klere gewas en wit gemaak het in die bloed van die Lam” (Openbaring 7:14). Toe Jesus Christus gesterf het, het sy kosbare bloed “vir God mense gekoop uit elke stam en taal en volk en nasie” (Openbaring 5:9). Jesus se bloed is uitgegiet “tot vergifnis van sondes” (Matteus 26:28), en dit “reinig ons van alle sonde” (1 Johannes 1:7).
Satan probeer ons veroordeel, maar ons word oorwin deur die bloed van die Lam. “Daar is nou geen veroordeling vir die wat in Christus Jesus is nie, want die wet van die Gees wat die lewe gee, het julle deur Christus Jesus vrygemaak van die wet van sonde en dood” (Romeine 8:1–2). Jesus het ons bevry van die geestelike kettings van sonde (Johannes 8:35–36; Romeine 6:17–22).
Die volgende keer as Satan probeer om vorige mislukkings in jou gesig te gooi, onthou dat “God sy Seun nie in die wêreld gestuur het om die wêreld te veroordeel nie, maar om die wêreld deur Hom te red. Elkeen wat in Hom glo, word nie veroordeel nie” (Johannes 3:17–18).
Alle gelowiges – verlede, hede en toekoms – oorwin die aanklaer deur die bloed van die Lam. Jesus Christus se dood is die definitiewe basis vir ons oorwinning oor die vyand van ons siele. Die apostel Paulus vra: “Wie durf ons beskuldig wat God as sy eiendom gekies het? Niemand nie, want God self het ons reg voor Homself gegee. Wie sal ons dan veroordeel? Niemand nie, want Christus Jesus het vir ons gesterf en is vir ons opgewek, en Hy sit op die ereplek aan God se regterhand en pleit vir ons” (Romeine 8:33–34). Ten spyte van alles in die duiwel se arsenaal wat hy na ons kan gooi, “is ons in al hierdie dinge meer as oorwinnaars deur Hom wat ons liefgehad het” (Romeine 8:37).
Paulus sê vir die Kolossense: “Want julle is saam met Christus begrawe toe julle gedoop is. En saam met Hom is julle opgewek, omdat julle vertrou het op die magtige krag van God wat Christus uit die dood opgewek het. Julle was dood as gevolg van julle sondes en omdat julle sondige natuur nog nie weggeneem was nie. Toe het God julle saam met Christus lewend gemaak, want Hy het al ons sondes vergewe. Hy het die skuldbewys teen ons uitgewis en dit aan die kruis vasgespyker. Hy het die geestelike heersers en maghebbers ontwapen en hulle in die openbaar beskaam deur sy oorwinning oor hulle aan die kruis. Laat niemand julle dan veroordeel nie” (Kolossense 2:12–16).
Ons moenie toelaat dat die duiwel ons met leuens en beskuldigings mislei nie. Elke aanklag wat hy teen ons kan bring, word gekanselleer, aan die kruis vasgespyker en oorwin deur die bloed van die Lam. Dit mag vreemd lyk dat ‘n woedende draak in Openbaring 12 deur ‘n geslagte lam oorwin word. Lammers word gewoonlik nie as drakeslagters gesien nie. Maar so is die krag en doeltreffendheid van die dood van Christus. As gevolg van Christus se gestorte bloed aan die kruis, het sonde sy greep op ons verloor. Wanneer Satan ons beskuldig, kan ons sing: “My kettings is weg; ek is vrygemaak.”

Bible Teaching of the Day
The body without the spirit is dead
James taught extensively about the implications of faith in Jesus Christ. In James 2:14–26, he emphasizes the intrinsic connection between one’s faith and one’s actions. Genuine saving faith will move us to do more than merely offer sympathetic words to someone in need; it will prompt helpful actions (verses 15–17). James gives the example of two Old Testament believers, Abraham and Rahab. These two vastly contrasting figures demonstrated the reality of their faith through obedience to God and righteous works (see verses 21–25). James concludes, “As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead” (verse 26).
The word translated as “body” (sōma in the original Greek) in James 2:26 refers to the flesh-and-bones physical structure of an organism or human being. The “spirit” is pneumatos in Greek, a word that means “wind or breath” and is understood as the internal soul or the spiritual, life-giving essence of a person—the intangible, immaterial existence.
Genesis 2:7 states that God formed the first human being by breathing “the breath of life” into his body, “and the man became a living being.” This pairing of body and spirit produced a living person. When a human dies, the spirit or soul leaves the body and returns to God, while the body decomposes back into the earth (Ecclesiastes 12:7; Psalm 146:4). Thus, the body without the spirit is dead. It is simply a bag of bones—no longer a living, breathing person but a corpse.
Just as the human body is inert and incapable of movement without the spirit, one’s faith is considered dead and ineffective without corresponding actions. A person who professes to have faith in Jesus but has no outward signs of that faith has “faith without works”—a “dead” faith (James 2:26). His lack of good deeds reveals an unchanged heart. He is spiritually lifeless.
Merely claiming to believe without living out that belief is meaningless. But genuine faith will result in transformation. One’s devotion to the Lord will show through loving, compassionate, righteous deeds. Saving faith has the power to change one’s life. Warren Wiersbe describes such faith as “dynamic faith,” or faith that “is not intellectual contemplation or emotional consternation; it leads to obedience on the part of the will. And this obedience is not an isolated event: it continues throughout the whole life. It leads to works” (The Bible Exposition Commentary, vol. 2, Victor Books, 1996, p. 355).
James is not saying believers are made righteous by their works (cf. Romans 3:28; 4:1–25). Instead, he is teaching that our actions are the evidence of salvation. An authentic salvation experience by faith in Jesus will inevitably result in good works (cf. Ephesians 2:10). Jesus taught that His true disciples would be recognized by their fruits and that only those who produced “good fruit” and did God’s will would enter the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 7:16–23).
Understanding that the body without the spirit is dead helps us know why faith and good works are inseparably linked. A dead body cannot move, and a dead faith cannot produce. It is stationary, inert, and ineffective. A living body is active, just as a living faith is alive, sure to perform righteous, God-honoring deeds.
In essence, James wants readers to understand the importance of putting one’s faith into practice. It is not enough to simply believe. It is not even enough to profess our faith in words. We must reflect our faith by bringing it to life, letting it be seen in how we live and in everything we do (see Matthew 5:14–16; 1 Peter 2:12; 2 Peter 1:5–8; Titus 2:7; 3:8, 14).
Believers are saved by faith alone, but saving faith does not exist alone. It is accompanied by deeds that prove the genuineness of faith. Like Abraham and Rahab, we must do something with our faith. Martin Luther said of faith, “Oh, it is a living, busy, active, mighty thing, this faith; and so it is impossible for it not to do good works incessantly. It does not ask whether there are good works to do, but before the question rises; it has already done them, and is always at the doing of them. He who does not these works is a faithless man”
Bybel Lering vir die Dag
Die liggaam sonder die gees is dood
Jakobus het breedvoerig geleer oor die implikasies van geloof in Jesus Christus. In Jakobus 2:14–26 beklemtoon hy die intrinsieke verband tussen ‘n mens se geloof en jou dade. Ware reddende geloof sal ons beweeg om meer te doen as om net simpatieke woorde aan iemand in nood te bied; dit sal nuttige dade aanmoedig (verse 15–17). Jakobus gee die voorbeeld van twee Ou-Testamentiese gelowiges, Abraham en Ragab. Hierdie twee uiters kontrasterende figure het die werklikheid van hul geloof gedemonstreer deur gehoorsaamheid aan God en regverdige werke (sien verse 21–25). Jakobus sluit af: “Soos die liggaam sonder die gees dood is, so is geloof sonder dade dood” (vers 26).
Die woord wat in Jakobus 2:26 as “liggaam” (sōma in die oorspronklike Grieks) vertaal word, verwys na die vlees-en-bene fisiese struktuur van ‘n organisme of mens. Die “gees” is pneumatos in Grieks, ‘n woord wat “wind of asem” beteken en verstaan word as die interne siel of die geestelike, lewegewende essensie van ‘n persoon – die ontasbare, onstoflike bestaan.
Genesis 2:7 verklaar dat God die eerste mens gevorm het deur “die asem van die lewe” in sy liggaam te blaas, “en die mens het ‘n lewende wese geword.” Hierdie kombinasie van liggaam en gees het ‘n lewende persoon voortgebring. Wanneer ‘n mens sterf, verlaat die gees of siel die liggaam en keer terug na God, terwyl die liggaam weer in die aarde ontbind (Prediker 12:7; Psalm 146:4). Dus is die liggaam sonder die gees dood. Dit is bloot ‘n sak bene – nie meer ‘n lewende, asemhalende persoon nie, maar ‘n lyk.
Net soos die menslike liggaam inert is en nie in staat is om te beweeg sonder die gees nie, word ‘n mens se geloof as dood en oneffektief beskou sonder ooreenstemmende dade. ‘n Persoon wat bely dat hy geloof in Jesus het, maar geen uiterlike tekens van daardie geloof het nie, het “geloof sonder werke” – ‘n “dooie” geloof (Jakobus 2:26). Sy gebrek aan goeie dade openbaar ‘n onveranderde hart. Hy is geestelik leweloos.
Om bloot te beweer dat jy glo sonder om daardie geloof uit te leef, is betekenisloos. Maar ware geloof sal tot transformasie lei. ’n Mens se toewyding aan die Here sal deur liefdevolle, medelydende, regverdige dade blyk. Reddende geloof het die krag om ’n mens se lewe te verander. Warren Wiersbe beskryf sulke geloof as “dinamiese geloof”, of geloof wat “nie intellektuele kontemplasie of emosionele ontsteltenis is nie; dit lei tot gehoorsaamheid van die kant van die wil. En hierdie gehoorsaamheid is nie ’n geïsoleerde gebeurtenis nie: dit duur voort deur die hele lewe. Dit lei tot werke” (The Bible Exposition Commentary, vol. 2, Victor Books, 1996, bl. 355).
Jakobus sê nie dat gelowiges deur hul werke regverdig gemaak word nie (vgl. Romeine 3:28; 4:1–25). In plaas daarvan leer hy dat ons dade die bewys van verlossing is. ’n Outentieke verlossingservaring deur geloof in Jesus sal onvermydelik tot goeie werke lei (vgl. Efesiërs 2:10). Jesus het geleer dat Sy ware dissipels aan hul vrugte herken sou word en dat slegs diegene wat “goeie vrugte” voortbring en God se wil gedoen het, die koninkryk van die hemele sou binnegaan (Matteus 7:16–23).
Om te verstaan dat die liggaam sonder die gees dood is, help ons om te verstaan waarom geloof en goeie werke onafskeidbaar verbind is. ‘n Dooie liggaam kan nie beweeg nie, en ‘n dooie geloof kan nie produseer nie. Dit is stilstaande, inert en oneffektief. ‘n Lewende liggaam is aktief, net soos ‘n lewende geloof lewendig is, seker om regverdige, God-vererende dade te verrig.
In wese wil Jakobus hê dat lesers die belangrikheid daarvan moet verstaan om jou geloof in die praktyk te bring. Dit is nie genoeg om bloot te glo nie. Dit is nie eers genoeg om ons geloof in woorde te bely nie. Ons moet ons geloof weerspieël deur dit tot lewe te bring, en dit te laat sien in hoe ons leef en in alles wat ons doen (sien Matteus 5:14–16; 1 Petrus 2:12; 2 Petrus 1:5–8; Titus 2:7; 3:8, 14).
Gelowiges word deur geloof alleen gered, maar reddende geloof bestaan nie alleen nie. Dit word vergesel deur dade wat die egtheid van geloof bewys. Soos Abraham en Ragab, moet ons iets met ons geloof doen. Martin Luther het van geloof gesê: “O, dit is ‘n lewende, besige, aktiewe, magtige ding, hierdie geloof; en daarom is dit onmoontlik vir dit om nie onophoudelik goeie werke te doen nie. Dit vra nie of daar goeie werke is om te doen nie, maar voordat die vraag ontstaan; dit het dit reeds gedoen en is altyd besig om dit te doen. Hy wat hierdie werke nie doen nie, is ‘n ongelowige man.”
Today’s Devotional
Seeing someone come to faith in Christ
Nothing is more exciting than seeing someone come to faith in Christ. Seeing God open closed hearts and illuminate dark minds is a rewarding part of belonging to His spiritual family. But just as important as new believers coming to faith in Christ is the growth that must follow that new birth (John 3:3; 2 Peter 3:18). Newborn babies are not left alone and expected to thrive. They are welcomed by families who feed them, train them, and help them grow. So it is in God’s family. When new believers join us, it is our responsibility to feed them, train them, and help them grow.
The Bible places a premium on spiritual growth: “Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation” (1 Peter 2:2). If babies do not get pure milk in the first year of life, they will not develop into healthy adults. Likewise, new believers need the basics before they can advance in their understanding of deeper spiritual truths. Churches should offer new believer classes, life groups, and other opportunities for Christian fellowship. In this age of increasing biblical illiteracy, it is likely that a new believer is unfamiliar with many concepts more mature Christians take for granted.
Reading or listening to the book of Genesis is helpful for new believers. Without that foundation, there is little to build on. Christian friends can read Genesis together and meet for coffee once a week to discuss what they read. Many of the events and truths that occur later in the Bible have their roots in Genesis, so learning about the beginning of the world (Genesis 1—2), the first sin (Genesis 3), and God’s selection of Abraham as the father of the Jewish nation (Genesis 12) are critically important in understanding the ways that God later worked in human history.
Skipping to the New Testament, a new believer can read the book of Luke and then Acts. This combination gives new believers an overview of the life of Jesus and the beginnings of the church. Luke wrote both books, so there is a wonderful continuity between them. As a baby must have milk to grow, so new believers must have the Word of God. It is harmful to feed infants carbonated soft drinks instead of milk, and it is just as harmful to feed baby Christians inspirational tweets and self-help books instead of God’s Word. There is no substitute for the Word of God if new believers are to develop into strong, healthy Christians.
As supplements to the reading of God’s Word, other books, videos, and podcasts can be a helpful way for new believers to partake of biblical teaching throughout the week. The first Christians “devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer” (Acts 2:42). The early church grew rapidly because every new member was committed to growing and learning. They immersed themselves in teaching and preaching, fellowship with other believers, and prayer. It has never been easier for Christians to immerse ourselves in truth with the proliferation of good Bible teachers online.
Another way to help new believers is to guide them toward trustworthy Bible teachers and away from false teachers and charlatans who would fleece the flock. Religious frauds often “masquerade as servants of righteousness” (2 Corinthians 11:15), and it can be difficult for a new believer to distinguish truth from error. Help out new believers by warning them of deceivers and teaching them how to spot the deception. Also, actively promote books, websites, and ministries that are clearly committed to the Word of God.
Vandag se Bemoediging
Sien hoe iemand tot geloof in Christus kom nie
Niks is meer opwindend as om te sien hoe iemand tot geloof in Christus kom nie. Om te sien hoe God geslote harte oopmaak en donker gedagtes verlig, is ‘n lonende deel van om aan Sy geestelike familie te behoort. Maar net so belangrik as wat nuwe gelowiges tot geloof in Christus kom, is die groei wat op daardie nuwe geboorte moet volg (Johannes 3:3; 2 Petrus 3:18). Pasgebore babas word nie alleen gelaat nie en daar word van hulle verwag om te floreer. Hulle word verwelkom deur gesinne wat hulle voed, oplei en help groei. So is dit ook in God se familie. Wanneer nuwe gelowiges by ons aansluit, is dit ons verantwoordelikheid om hulle te voed, op te lei en te help groei.
Die Bybel plaas ‘n premie op geestelike groei: “Soos pasgebore babas moet julle smag na suiwer geestelike melk, sodat julle daardeur kan opgroei tot julle saligheid” (1 Petrus 2:2). As babas nie suiwer melk in die eerste lewensjaar kry nie, sal hulle nie tot gesonde volwassenes ontwikkel nie. Net so het nuwe gelowiges die basiese beginsels nodig voordat hulle kan vorder in hul begrip van dieper geestelike waarhede. Kerke moet klasse vir nuwe gelowiges, lewensgroepe en ander geleenthede vir Christelike gemeenskap aanbied. In hierdie era van toenemende Bybelse ongeletterdheid is dit waarskynlik dat ‘n nuwe gelowige onbekend is met baie konsepte wat meer volwasse Christene as vanselfsprekend aanvaar.
Om die boek Genesis te lees of daarna te luister, is nuttig vir nuwe gelowiges. Sonder daardie fondament is daar min om op te bou. Christenvriende kan Genesis saam lees en een keer per week vir koffie bymekaarkom om te bespreek wat hulle lees. Baie van die gebeure en waarhede wat later in die Bybel plaasvind, het hul oorsprong in Genesis, dus is dit van kritieke belang om te leer oor die begin van die wêreld (Genesis 1-2), die eerste sonde (Genesis 3), en God se keuse van Abraham as die vader van die Joodse nasie (Genesis 12) om die maniere te verstaan waarop God later in die menslike geskiedenis gewerk het.
Deur na die Nuwe Testament te spring, kan ‘n nuwe gelowige die boek Lukas en dan Handelinge lees. Hierdie kombinasie gee nuwe gelowiges ‘n oorsig van die lewe van Jesus en die begin van die kerk. Lukas het albei boeke geskryf, dus is daar ‘n wonderlike kontinuïteit tussen hulle. Soos ‘n baba melk moet hê om te groei, so moet nuwe gelowiges die Woord van God hê. Dit is skadelik om babas koolzuurhoudende koeldrank in plaas van melk te gee, en dit is net so skadelik om baba-Christene inspirerende twiets en selfhelpboeke in plaas van God se Woord te gee. Daar is geen plaasvervanger vir die Woord van God as nuwe gelowiges tot sterk, gesonde Christene wil ontwikkel nie.
As aanvullings tot die lees van God se Woord, kan ander boeke, video’s en poduitsendings ‘n nuttige manier wees vir nuwe gelowiges om deur die week aan Bybelse onderrig deel te neem. Die eerste Christene het hulle “toegewy aan die leer van die apostels en aan die gemeenskap, aan die breking van brood en aan gebed” (Handelinge 2:42). Die vroeë kerk het vinnig gegroei omdat elke nuwe lidmaat daartoe verbind was om te groei en te leer. Hulle het hulself verdiep in onderrig en prediking, gemeenskap met ander gelowiges en gebed. Dit was nog nooit makliker vir Christene om onsself in die waarheid te verdiep met die toename van goeie Bybelonderwysers aanlyn nie.
Nog ‘n manier om nuwe gelowiges te help, is om hulle te lei na betroubare Bybelonderwysers en weg van valse leraars en kwaksalwers wat die kudde sou uitbuit. Godsdienstige bedrieërs “vermom hulle dikwels as dienaars van geregtigheid” (2 Korintiërs 11:15), en dit kan moeilik wees vir ‘n nuwe gelowige om waarheid van dwaling te onderskei. Help nuwe gelowiges deur hulle teen bedrieërs te waarsku en hulle te leer hoe om die misleiding raak te sien. Bevorder ook aktief boeke, webwerwe en bedieninge wat duidelik verbind is aan die Woord van God.

Wat Is Op Die Spel:
Om in ń pot te plant of nie ? Dit was die vraag waarmee iemand wat ek ken geworstel het toe sy verlede somer ń jong boompie wou aanplant. Die verkoopsman het gesê sy moet dit eers in ń pot plant om dit teen sterk wind te beskerm. Dan moet sy dit in die grond plant, sodat die wortels kan vorm. Nou toe het haar buurman verskil met die koopsman: “Om dit eers in ń pot te plant kan meer kwaad doen as goed. Dis nie die beste opsie nie. Die boompie moet dadelik begin sterk wortels vorm en dit sal nie gebeur as dit eers in ń pot geplant word.
Hoe belangrik is hierdie vraag ten opsigte van verhoudinge. Byvoorbeeld as iemand homself in die moeilikheid laat beland, plant ons hom eers in ń pot deur hom uit sy penarie te red, of laat ons hom toe om sterk wortels te vorm deur Hom te dwing om die gevolge van sy daad self te hanteer ? Natuurlik hang dit af van wat die beste vir die persoon se geestelike gesondheid sal wees. Wat sal liefde doen en wanneer moet dit gedoen word ? Spreuke 19 gee teenoorgestelde raad. Ons moet medelye betoon en hulp gee ( Spreuke 19:17 ), maar tog is daar gevare aan verbonde, want as ons een keer gehelp het, mag dit weer gevra word ( vs 19 ). Om die regte hulp op die regte tyd te gee, vra besondere wysheid.
God het ons nie op ons eie gelaat nie. Hy sal ons wysheid gee as ons Hom vra. En as ons op Hom leun sal ons wortels diep in Hom geanker wees.
Ons kom so dikwels kort in baie situasies. Ons weet ons sal foute begaan, maar leer ons Here om op U te vertrou. Dankie dat U daar is vir ons. Laat ons wortels diep in U groei !
Ware wysheid is om deur God se oë na die wêreld te kyk.
What's at stake:
To plant in a pot or not? That was the question someone I know struggled with when she wanted to plant a sapling last summer. The salesperson said she should first plant it in a pot to protect it from strong winds. Then she should plant it in the ground, so the roots can form. Now her neighbor disagreed with the merchant: "Planting it in a pot first can do more harm than good. It's not the best option. The sapling needs to start forming strong roots right away, and that won't happen if it's planted in a pot first." How important is this question in terms of relationships? For example, if someone gets into trouble, do we first plant him in a pot by saving him from his predicament, or do we allow him to form strong roots by forcing him to deal with the consequences of his actions? Of course, it depends on what will be best for the person's spiritual health. What will love do and when should it be done? Proverbs 19 gives opposite advice. We should show compassion and give help (Proverbs 19:17), but there are dangers involved, because if we have helped once, it may be asked for again (vs 19). Giving the right help at the right time requires special wisdom. God has not left us on our own. He will give us wisdom if we ask Him. And if we lean on Him our roots will be deeply anchored in Him.
We so often fall short in many situations. We know we will make mistakes, but teach us Lord to trust in You. Thank you for being there for us. Let our roots grow deep in You!
True wisdom is to look at the world through God's eyes.
Vroue in die Bybel—Wat kan ons by hulle leer?
Vandag - Hanna
Wie was Hanna? Sy was die vrou van Elkana en die moeder van Samuel, wat 'n prominente profeet in antieke Israel geword het.—1 Samuel 1:1, 2, 4-7.
Wat het sy gedoen? Toe Hanna kinderloos was, het sy haar tot God gewend vir vertroosting. Hanna se man het twee vrouens gehad. Sy ander vrou, Peninna, het kinders gehad; Hanna het egter lank na haar huwelik kinderloos gebly. Peninna het haar wreed gespot, maar Hanna het tot God gebid vir vertroosting. Sy het 'n gelofte aan God afgelê en gesê dat as God haar 'n seun sou gee, sy die kind aan hom sou gee deur te reël dat die kind by die tabernakel sou dien, 'n vervoerbare tent wat deur Israel vir aanbidding gebruik is.—1 Samuel 1:11.
God het Hanna se gebed verhoor, en sy het aan Samuel geboorte gegee. Hanna het haar belofte gehou en Samuel geneem om by die tabernakel te dien toe hy nog 'n klein seuntjie was. (1 Samuel 1:27, 28) Jaar na jaar het sy 'n moulose jas vir hom gemaak en dit na hom geneem. Mettertyd het God Hanna met nog vyf kinders geseën—drie seuns en twee dogters.—1 Samuel 2:18-21.
Wat kan ons by Hanna leer? Hanna se hartlike gebede het haar gehelp om beproewinge te verduur. Haar gebed van dankbaarheid wat in 1 Samuel 2:1-10 opgeteken is, weerspieël haar diep geloof in God.
Women in the Bible—What Can We Learn From Them?
Today – Hannah
What did she do? When Hannah was childless, she turned to God for comfort. Hannah’s husband had two wives. His other wife, Peninnah, had children; however, Hannah remained childless for a long time after her marriage. Peninnah cruelly taunted her, but Hannah prayed to God for comfort. She made a vow to God, saying that if God granted her a son, she would give the child to him by arranging for the child to serve at the tabernacle, a transportable tent used by Israel for worship.—1 Samuel 1:11.
Who was Hannah? She was the wife of Elkanah and the mother of Samuel, who became a prominent prophet in ancient Israel.—1 Samuel 1:1, 2, 4-7.
God answered Hannah’s prayer, and she gave birth to Samuel. Hannah kept her promise and took Samuel to serve at the tabernacle when he was still a little boy. (1 Samuel 1:27, 28) Year after year, she made a sleeveless coat for him and took it to him. In time, God blessed Hannah with five more children—three sons and two daughters.—1 Samuel 2:18-21.
What can we learn from Hannah? Hannah’s heartfelt prayers helped her to endure trials. Her prayer of gratitude recorded at 1 Samuel 2:1-10 reflects her deep faith in God.

INTRODUCTION TO THE GOSPEL ARTISTS
MEET : Johnny Minick
Johnny Minick was born and raised in Little Rock, Arkansas. His father, John C. Minick, was employed by ABF Trucking and his mother, Marice, was a stay-at-home mom and homemaker. They instilled in Johnny a love for God and an appreciation and love for music.
Johnny began his musical journey at the age of 3. The guitar was the first instrument he used to express his musical talent. He loved to sing in church while accompanying himself on the guitar.
At 6 year old he took an interest in piano. While visiting an aunt in Memphis, he sat down at her piano and within an hour could play a few basic chords. His talent with the keyboard was so obvious that his aunt gave him her piano. Johnny’s parents enrolled him in piano lessons where he began to study to be a classical pianist. Those years of classical training gave Johnny an important foundation for the artistry he now enjoys. In his teens, Johnny followed a fimiliar path that many other classically trained musicians follow; the road to jazz.
Johnny explored most all genre’s of music and soon found himself in the recording studio as a session musician. His ability to play any style of music endeared him to artists, producers and label executives. It was apparent, early on, that music would play an important role in Johnny’s life.
While it seemed that music would be the priority in Johnny’s future, something else had captured his heart. In 1967, while attending a New Year’s Eve Celebration at church, Johnny felt a definite call into ministry. He had been involved in music ministry now for several years, but, it was the pulpit that captured his attention. 1968 was filled with deliberation and wonder as Johnny pursued the idea of filling the pulpit. Soon to enter his teenage years, he would turn 13 in full pursuit of developing a pulpit ministry.
Ministry blossomed in both music and preaching during Johnny’s teenage years. The classical training continued as well as exploring the genre of jazz music. Johnny began using his knowledge of classical and jazz music to create his own unique style of gospel music. In 1970, Johnny and his Dad formed a singing group from out of their local church congregation. Mostly young people, but very talented and willing to try something different in gospel music. Their group, The Majestic Sound, became known for their unique style of gospel and Johnny’s intricate arrangements. The group took on a variety of configurations through the years ending up as a male quartet. The group’s popularity opened numerous doors of opportunity. Along with regional television and radio, gospel and country music promoters were booking Johnny and the group to open for headliners. It was during this time that a major door opened for Johnny. A door that would impact the rest of his life and ministry.
In 1972, a regional gospel music promoter booked Johnny and his group to open for The Happy Goodman Family. When the Goodmans heard Johnny play they approached him the same night about becoming their pianist. With another year of high school and no real inclinations to leave home, Johnny put the offer on the back burner and continued his education along with pursuing his calling to the ministry.
Early in 1974, Johnny and his sweetheart, Sherry McDonald announced their engaugement to be married in August of that year. After their wedding the invitation to join the Happy Goodman Family began to tug gently on Johnny’s heart. In the Summer of 1975, Johnny and Sherry packed up their belongings and moved to Madisonville, KY to become a part of The Happy Goodman Family. The next few years made an indelible mark on Johnny’s life and musical career. The exposure he received from being a part of The Goodmans endeared his talent and ministry to many of the Goodman fans. The years with the Goodmans were productive and continues to bear fruit to this day. His relationship with Howard, Vestal, Rusty & Sam continued until their deaths.
Johnny and Sherry returned to Arkansas after the birth of their son, Aaron. Johnny and his family launched an evangelistic ministry incorporating their music and pulpit ministry. After itenerating for several years Johnny felt the call to plant a church in the Little Rock area. In 1983, River Of Life was founded as an Assembly Of God Church. The church grew quickly under Johnny’s leadership and brought in Johnny’s cousins, Bob & Tony Minick to partner with him in ministry. The trio of pastors divided the responsiblities of the pastorate among themselves and continued growing the congregation, building a campus in Mabelvale, AR on Nash Lane.
In 1988, the evangelistic call sounded again for Johnny & Sherry. Once again the family was itenerating from church to church and gaining national attention with a song written by Johnny entitled, “How Long.” The song entered the Top 40 gospel charts and created a demand for Johnny and the family to sing in concert venues and churches across America. A Nashville recording label, Calvary Records, signed the Minick Family to a recording contract, promoting their talent to a national radio audience. In 1991, Johnny accepted an opportunity from country music legend, Willie Nelson, to come to Branson, MO every Sunday to conduct a worship service in his newly aquired Theater. That proved to be a fruitful time for Johnny and his family as they led hundreds of vacationing tourists to a relationship with Jesus Christ.
In 1992, Johnny felt the leading of the Holy Spirit to plant a church in the little town of Smyrna, TN. (a bedroom community of Nashville)
Johnny and his family all sold their homes in Little Rock and relocated to the Nashville, TN area to plant River Of Life in Smyrna, TN. The process was familiar to Johnny, having been a church planter in Little Rock. The first service was small (about 8 people) but the little church family grew quickly and began to impact their community. In 1994, the congregation purchased 21 acres on Sam Ridley Parkway and made plans to build a home campus.
The mid 90’s brought quite a surprise when Johnny reunited with Howard & Vestal Goodman to revive the Happy Goodman brand. With the success of the Bill Gaither Homecoming videos and concerts, The Happy Goodmans found a platform to promote their music around the world. From 1995 through 2002, Johnny traveled 3 days a week singing to 1.3 million people per year attending their concerts from coast to coast and in Europe. At the same time, River Of Life continued growing and enjoying their new worship facility at their Sam Ridley Parkway location.
After the death of Howard Goodman in 2002, and then Vestal Goodman in 2003, Johnny concentrated on expanding ministry from River Of Life and Johnny Minick Ministries by means of television and internet broadcasting. The new century was full of opportunity giving JMM a global presence. Every Sunday Johnny would preach and sing from the broadcast center at River Of Life to a growing audience of thousands watching over the internet and satellite television. As broadcast technology developed, JMM was the first in the Nashville area to broadcast in High Definition. They were also the first in the Southeastern U.S. to aquire LED lighting for their studio productions.
In 2014, Johnny, Tanya Goodman Sykes and her husband Michael Sykes started singing together as Goodman Revival. In February of 2014 they went into the studio and recorded their debut project, “Songs In The Key Of Happy.” Spring House Music heard the recording and leased the project to be distributed through the Gaither Music Network and in October 2014 a companion video was produced at the Gaither Studios in Alexandria, IN.
In 2018, Johnny & Sherry retired from the full time ministry of pastoring and passed the mantle on to their son, Aaron and his wife, Julie. Johnny & Sherry continue their ministry in churches nation wide and a few special events globally.
Johnny and Sherry enjoy a very full life of ministry and music. One of their greatest joys is spending time with their son, Aaron, his wife, Julie, and their 4 grandchildren, Hayden, Preston, Londin and Brooklyn.

This Is The Real Reason Why Trump Stopped Israel
By now everyone who is paying attention saw or heard President Trump drop the F-bomb in relation to Israel and Iran when it came to the fragile ceasefire he imposed. Why did Trump claim Israel broke the ceasefire when the timeline clearly showed they did not? Some pundits have chalked it up to Trump throwing a fit or trying to placate his non-interventionist wing of the MAGA movement by showing he is not “controlled by Israel,” but in truth none of that makes sense. So what is really going on here?

Brilliance Meets Belief: The Jesus Confession Of The Smartest Man Alive
Young-Hoon Kim, a South Korean prodigy with a documented IQ of 276 – the highest recorded in history – stunned the scientific and academic world this week with a simple, unwavering statement: “As the world’s highest IQ record holder, I believe that Jesus Christ is God, the way and the truth and the life.”
From Cradle To Coffin: How The UK Became A Culture Of Death
The new message from Britain’s leadership? Life is optional. Disposable. Negotiable. If it inconveniences you, burdens you, depresses you, or frightens you–there’s a legal exit now. One for the unborn. One for the terminally ill. Tomorrow, one for the depressed. The United Kingdom has become the United Culture of Death.

Israeli Minister: “Trump is the Cyrus of Our Times… and More”
“Trump not only allowed the Jewish people to act per their understanding, and not only provided Israel with the weapons it needed, [but] he actively participated in the subterfuge preceding the attack and in the attack itself.”
After the Lion Roared, It’s Time to Finish the Fight
This was a war not just of survival, but of clarity. And now, with that clarity in hand, we must confront a more uncomfortable truth: if we do not finish the work here at home—in Judea and Samaria—we risk squandering the very victory we just achieved.

In the following lectures we are going to look at the effords that the scribes has undergone
to translate the Bible into Greek and then into English and Dutch.
2.0 Translations before the reformation period.
Nederland and England went through a dull period during the mid evil times. During
this period many attempts has been made to translate the Vulgate into German.
2.1 Manses Mathew
The ‘Menses Mathew’, had its origin in a Mission in Austria. Menses Mathews has
converted Latin into a logic language that would make sense to the everyday man and
attempt to translate the Bible directly from Latin into English. This did not work and a lot
of discrepancies and faults came to be. One example is the “Singing” of the cockerel when
Peter denies Knowing Jesus Christ instead of that the cockerel has Crowed 3 times.
2.2 Many Partial Translations.
Many scribes attempt to translate the word of God into German. There were at least 1300
unsuccessful attempts. In 1325 three Old Testament and two New Testaments, Five
Evangelic books and twenty Psalms saw the light.
From the above affords it proved that there was indeed a demand by people to have their
own German Bible. The product was expensive and not of good quality, so people could not
afford it.
2.3 Resistance from the Roman Catholic Church
The attempters also picked up a lot of resistance from the Roman Catholic Church which
was the Main Stream church of the time. The Priests claimed that the translation books
were of inferior quality and that it even dishonor the revelations made in the scriptures.
The People were told to be happy with the true Bible of the Roman Church. After all
these scribes to be has been schooled by the Priests and the priests knew that they
have received limited training.
Pope Gregarious VII argued that God has purposely placed certain difficult sections in the
Bible so that only the Priests could understand it.
Pope Innocent went so far as to call that all people be punished that dares to try and
understand the bible.
2.4 Mentel of Strasbourg
Mentel of Strasbourg issued the first German in Hilde, Austria. This too was a poor afford.
It was a direct translated hand written copy of the Vulgate and even the grammar was bad,
full of spelling mistakes. Even the German words were mixed with Latin phrases.
Identification of sentences were difficult as mistakes like “the quick God” instead of the
Merciful God and phrase like the prayers were poured out instead of “Done” just created
chaos.
Not was it only a bad example, but it was also a large and clumsy presentation of 2
foot by 1 foot with 405 thick pages in it. The cost was excessive and equivalent to a tribe
of oxen. No wonder the German people was looking for a cheaper alternative
Soos ons volk in Suid-Afrika gesmag het om die Bybel in eie taal te kon besit het ook
dieselfde verlange in Holland geheers.
1.1 Bybelvertalings in Nederland
Tot en met die veertiende eeu was die Bybel in Holland die Roomse Latynse
VULGAAT maar die gewone mense het dit in ‘n steeds groeiende mate nie meer
verstaan nie, en ‘n Bybel in hulle eie taal begeer. Die amptelike kerk was radikaal
daarteen gekant omdat die Vulgaat toegewyd en onskendbaar was. In 1229 word daar
ook teen Bybelvertaling ‘n verbod uitgereik en die Inkwisisie tree streng op in hierdie
verband. (Die Inkwisisie was ‘n orde in die Roomse Katolieke Kerk wat misdrywe teen
die geloof en sedes van die lede van die kerk ondersoek het. Hulle was ‘n
godsdienstige regbank wat kettery in die kerk moes opspoor en straf).
2.0 Vertalings voor die Hervorming (Reformation)
Daar was verskeie pogings om die Bybel in Nederlands te vertaal voor die hervorming. Ons
verwys kortliks na ‘n paar van hulle.
2.1 Die Karolingies Psalm
Die oudste stuk Nederlandse vertaling wat daar is, is die sogenaamde ‘Karolingies
Psalm’ uit ongeveer 500 n.C. Dit was eintlik ‘n hulpmiddel by die gebruik van die
Vulgaat.
2.2 Die ‘Heiland’ Gedig
In die 9de eeu ontstaan die sogenaamde ‘Heiland’ (Die ou Germaanse woord
‘Heiland’) wat ‘n Saksiese gedig is oor die lewe van Jesus. Tog bevat dit plek-plek
stukkies van Germaanse mitologie en Jesus word voorgestel as ‘n Germaanse Koning.
2.3 Die ‘Rymbybel’
In 1270 ontstaan die sogenaamde ‘Rymbybel’ van Jakob van Maerlant. Dit is nie ‘n
vertaling nie maar lê die grondslag vir ‘n eie Bybel in Hollands. Sy beryming van die
Psalms is lank in kerke gesing en dit word beweer dat die Psalms en Gesange spore
van Maerlant toon.
2.4 Die ‘Histories Bybel’
In 1360 ontstaan die sogenaamde ‘Histories Bybel’. Dit bevat die geskiedenis boeke
van die Ou Testament.
2.5 Die ‘In Delft’ weergawe
In 1477 verskyn die eerste gedeelte van die Bybel in Hollands in drukvorm naamlik ‘In
Delft’ en wel van die ‘Histories Bybel’.
