Bybel Vers en Gebed vir Vandag
God is ons toevlug en krag, ‘n baie teenwoordige hulp in die moeilikheid.
Psalm 46:1
Gebed
Here vandag wil ek die Kraggebed bid want net U is my toevlug en my sterkte .
God, ek kom na U toe in die Wonderlike en Genesende Naam van Jesus Christus U Seun,
Vergewe my asseblief my sondes, net soos ek dié vergewe het wat teen my gesondig het.
God stort asseblief U seëninge oor my uit! Vergroot my grondgebied!
Neem my en my gesin onder U beskerming! Here.
Wees met my in alles wat ek doen!
En bewaar my van enige kwaad!
Sodat geen pyn en lyding oor my pad sou kom nie!
God, ek verloën elke aktiwiteit van die Okkulte oor my lewe!
Ek verloën elke familievloek oor ons!
Ek bind elke vesting, besoedeling, plan of strategie wat Satan en sy volgelinge nou oor my lewe het!
Ek verloën dit en verklaar dit “Gebreek” in die kragtige Bloed van Jesus!
Dit het geen mag meer oor my nie!
God gee vir my net my daaglikse brood, en bou in my, om oor niks bekommerd te wees nie, maar kom na U in gebed met geloof en Bid oor alles!
Ek Prys U Naam, want U is! “Jehovah Nissi” Die God, my Beskermer!
Jy is! “Jehovah Shammah” die God, saam met my! Jy is! “Jehovah
Rafha” Die God, my Geneesheer!
Ek sal vir ander getuig van jou seëninge aan my! Ek dank U God en laat U wil in my lewe geskied.
Amen en Amen
Bible Teaching of the Day
The New Testament contains several warning passages. Some are clearly warnings about the dangers of false teachings and false teachers. Others alert believers to the reality of trials or warn of end-times events. Yet there are several passages that warn Christians about their own behavior, and some seem to imply a loss of salvation for the disobedient. In light of the doctrine of eternal security, how are these warning passages to be understood?
Some New Testament warning passages are aimed at those who are part of the visible church but who do not truly know Christ. Such are the warnings in the epistle to the Hebrews. The author of Hebrews directs some of his statements to mere professors who are not actually saved (see Hebrews 6:4–6 and Hebrews 10:26). The target audience of these passages is unbelievers who are associated with the church and have been exposed to God’s redemptive truth—perhaps they’ve even made a profession of faith—but they have not exercised genuine saving faith. If they continue to reject Christ, they will be lost forever.
Other warning passages teach (by implication) the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints; that is, those who are truly born again will not deny the gospel or forsake Christ. First Corinthians 15:1–2 is one such passage: “I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.” Paul’s proviso “If you hold firmly to the word” is simply his way of saying that everyone who has truly believed in Christ will hold on to the end. Those who are false professors of the faith, who are Christians in name only, will eventually be swayed from the gospel through the attacks of the unbelieving world (see 1 Timothy 1:19–20).
Paul’s statement “Otherwise, you have believed in vain” in 1 Corinthians 15:2 can be understood in one of two ways. First, it could be that Paul is speaking rhetorically, putting forward a hypothetical statement concerning the truth of the gospel. The message he preached would save them—unless the message was false. The New Living Translation brings out this meaning: “Unless, of course, you believed something that was never true in the first place.” In the rest of the chapter, Paul emphasizes the fact of the resurrection and the reliability of his message. Second, Paul could be contrasting true belief, which results in salvation, with mere intellectual assent or an emotional reaction, which is worthless to save a soul. In this case, Paul is warning professing Christians not to be like the stony ground or the thorny ground in Jesus’ parable (see Matthew 13:1–23).
Jesus gave a warning to false professors in Matthew 7:21–23: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’” Even many religious people who claim to serve God do not truly know the Lord. The matter of salvation is of utmost importance, and many New Testament warning passages are meant to cause professed believers to examine themselves to ensure they truly have put their faith in Christ (see 2 Corinthians 13:5).
Other New Testament passages warn believers against various sins. These warnings do not relate to salvation but to God’s work of sanctification in the lives of believers. Believers have been set free from slavery to sin and are cautioned to stand firm in that freedom (Galatians 5:1; Philippians 2:12–13). The book of Revelation contains several warnings regarding sinful behavior in the seven churches. In those churches, the sins of theological compromise, immorality, apathy, and pride had to be dealt with.
Scripture teaches that we can know we are saved: “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:13). Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2), and God will finish the work He began in us (Philippians 1:6). Believers are called to live in holiness, and false professors of faith are called to repent and trust in Christ for salvation. The need for believers to avoid sin and the need for false converts to stop pretending necessitate the warning passages of Scripture.
Bybel Lering vir die Dag
Die Nuwe Testament bevat verskeie waarskuwingsgedeeltes. Sommige is duidelik waarskuwings oor die gevare van valse leringe en valse leraars. Ander waarsku gelowiges op die werklikheid van beproewinge of waarsku teen eindtydgebeure. Tog is daar verskeie gedeeltes wat Christene oor hul eie gedrag waarsku, en sommige impliseer blykbaar ‘n verlies aan redding vir die ongehoorsames. In die lig van die leerstelling van ewige sekuriteit, hoe moet hierdie waarskuwingsgedeeltes verstaan word?
Sommige Nuwe-Testamentiese waarskuwingsgedeeltes is gemik op diegene wat deel is van die sigbare kerk, maar wat Christus nie werklik ken nie. Dit is die waarskuwings in die brief aan die Hebreërs. Die skrywer van Hebreërs rig sommige van sy stellings aan blote professore wat nie werklik gered is nie (sien Hebreërs 6:4–6 en Hebreërs 10:26). Die teikengehoor van hierdie gedeeltes is ongelowiges wat met die kerk geassosieer is en aan God se verlossende waarheid blootgestel is – miskien het hulle selfs ‘n belydenis van geloof afgelê – maar hulle het nie opregte reddende geloof uitgeoefen nie. As hulle aanhou om Christus te verwerp, sal hulle vir ewig verlore wees.
Ander waarskuwingsgedeeltes leer (by implikasie) die leerstelling van die volharding van die heiliges; dit wil sê, diegene wat waarlik wedergebore is, sal nie die evangelie verloën of Christus verlaat nie. Eerste Korintiërs 15:1–2 is een so ‘n gedeelte: “Ek wil julle herinner aan die evangelie wat ek aan julle verkondig het, wat julle ontvang het en waaroor julle standpunt ingeneem het. Deur hierdie evangelie word jy gered, as jy vashou aan die woord wat Ek aan jou verkondig het. Anders het jy tevergeefs geglo.” Paulus se voorbehoud “As jy vashou aan die woord” is bloot sy manier om te sê dat elkeen wat waarlik in Christus geglo het, sal vashou tot die einde toe. Diegene wat valse professore van die geloof is, wat slegs in naam Christene is, sal uiteindelik deur die aanvalle van die ongelowige wêreld van die evangelie weggeswaai word (sien 1 Timoteus 1:19–20).
Paulus se stelling “Anders het julle tevergeefs geglo” in 1 Korintiërs 15:2 kan op een van twee maniere verstaan word. Eerstens kan dit wees dat Paulus retories praat en ‘n hipotetiese stelling oor die waarheid van die evangelie voorhou. Die boodskap wat hy verkondig het, sou hulle red—tensy die boodskap vals was. Die Nuwe Lewende Vertaling bring hierdie betekenis na vore: “Tensy jy natuurlik iets geglo het wat in die eerste plek nooit waar was nie.” In die res van die hoofstuk beklemtoon Paulus die feit van die opstanding en die betroubaarheid van sy boodskap. Tweedens kan Paulus ware geloof, wat tot redding lei, kontrasteer met blote intellektuele instemming of ‘n emosionele reaksie, wat waardeloos is om ‘n siel te red. In hierdie geval waarsku Paulus belydende Christene om nie soos die klipperige grond of die doringgrond in Jesus se gelykenis te wees nie (sien Matteus 13:1–23).
Jesus het ‘n waarskuwing aan valse professore gegee in Matteus 7:21–23: “Nie elkeen wat vir My sê: ‘Here, Here,’ sal in die koninkryk van die hemele ingaan nie, maar net hy wat die wil doen van my Vader wat in die hemele is. Baie sal op daardie dag vir my sê: ‘Here, Here, het ons nie in u Naam geprofeteer en in u Naam demone uitgedryf en baie wonderwerke gedoen nie?’ Dan sal ek reguit vir hulle sê: ‘Ek het jou nooit geken nie. Weg van my af, julle kwaaddoeners!’” Selfs baie godsdienstige mense wat beweer dat hulle God dien, ken die Here nie werklik nie. Die saak van redding is van uiterste belang, en baie Nuwe-Testamentiese waarskuwingsgedeeltes is bedoel om verklaarde gelowiges te veroorsaak om hulself te ondersoek om te verseker dat hulle werklik hul geloof in Christus gestel het (sien 2 Korintiërs 13:5).
Ander Nuwe-Testamentiese gedeeltes waarsku gelowiges teen verskeie sondes. Hierdie waarskuwings hou nie verband met verlossing nie, maar met God se werk van heiligmaking in die lewens van gelowiges. Gelowiges is bevry van slawerny aan sonde en word gemaan om vas te staan in daardie vryheid (Galasiërs 5:1; Filippense 2:12–13). Die boek Openbaring bevat verskeie waarskuwings aangaande sondige gedrag in die sewe kerke. In daardie kerke moes die sondes van teologiese kompromie, immoraliteit, apatie en trots hanteer word.
Die Skrif leer dat ons kan weet ons is gered: “Ek skryf hierdie dinge aan julle wat in die Naam van die Seun van God glo, sodat julle kan weet dat julle die ewige lewe het” (1 Johannes 5:13). Jesus is die outeur en voleinder van ons geloof (Hebreërs 12:2), en God sal die werk voltooi wat Hy in ons begin het (Filippense 1:6). Gelowiges word geroep om in heiligheid te lewe, en valse geloofsprofessore word geroep om te bekeer en op Christus te vertrou vir redding. Die behoefte vir gelowiges om sonde te vermy en die behoefte aan valse bekeerlinge om op te hou voorgee, noodsaak die waarskuwingsgedeeltes van die Skrif.
Today’s Devotional
Like Colbert Croft, “I thought that I could do a lot on my own. I thought I could make it all alone. I thought, I thought of myself as a mighty, mighty big man” until I realized that “I can’t even walk without You [the Lord] holding my hand”
While sitting here, my soul cries out, my heart desire and I long to forever be in the presence of God. Paul Wilbur who wrote the song “in your presence” wrote, “In Your presence, that’s where I belong, seeking Your face, touching Your grace, in the cleft of the Rock.”
Just so I am craving the presence of God in my life. Like the woman suffering from an issue of blood who crawled to Jesus, like the blind Bartimaeus who called upon the Lord and like Zacchaeus who climbed int a tree to see Jesus, I want to be in the presence of the Lord. (See Luke 8:43-48, Mark 10:46–52 and Luke 19:1-10)
“My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you.” (Isaiah 26:9) “O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.” (Psalm 63:1) “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?” (Psalm 42:1-2)
Should you desire God’s presence in your life, please pray the following scriptures with me:
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.” (Psalm 51:10-11) “One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.” (Psalm 27:4) I pray this in Jesus’ name – Amen and Amen
Vandag se Bemoediging
Soos Colbert Croft, het ek gedink dat ek op my eie sal regkom, het ek gedink dat ek dit op my eie sal maak. Ek het aan myself gedink as ‘n magtige groot man” totdat ek besef het dat ek nie eers kan loop sonder dat die Here my hand vashou nie. (Vertaal uit die lied “I can’t even walk without you holding my hand)
Terwyl ek hier sit, roep my siel uit, begeer my hart en verlang ek om nou en vir ewig in die teenwoordigheid van God te wees. Paul Wilbur wat die liedjie “in your presence” geskryf het, sê: “In Your presence, that’s where I belong, seeking Your face, touching Your grace, in the cleft of the Rock.”
Net so smag ek na die teenwoordigheid van God in my lewe. Soos die vrou wat aan bloedvloeiing gely het en na Jesus gekruip het, soos die blinde Bartimeus wat die Here aangeroep het en soos Saggeus wat in ‘n boom geklim het om Jesus te sien, smag ek, gryp ek na die teenwoordigheid van die Here. (Sien Lukas 8:43-48, Markus 10:46–52 en Lukas 19:1-10)
“Met my siel begeer ek U in die nag; ook met my gees in my binneste soek ek U.” (Jesaja 26:9) “o God, U is my God, U soek ek; my siel dors na U, my vlees smag na U, in ‘n dor en uitgedroogde land, sonder water.” (Psalm 63:2) “Soos ‘n hert wat smag na waterstrome, so smag my siel na U, o God! My siel dors na God, na die lewende God; wanneer sal ek ingaan en voor die aangesig van God verskyn?” (Psalm 42:2-3)
Indien jy ook God se teenwoordigheid in jou lewe begeer, bid asseblief die volgende skrifgedeeltes saam met my:
“Skep vir my ‘n rein hart, o God, en gee opnuut in die binneste van my ‘n vaste gees. Verwerp my nie van u aangesig nie en neem u Heilige Gees nie van my weg nie.” (Psalm 51:11-12) “Een ding het ek van die Here begeer, dit sal ek soek: dat ek al die dae van my lewe mag woon in die huis van die Here, om die lieflikheid van die Here te aanskou en te ondersoek in sy tempel.” (Psalm 27:4) Ek bid dit in Jesus naam – Amen en Amen
