Open week at Charis Bible College
1 – 5 February 2016
We start the next stage in our life with great anticipation and it did started on a high note with the open week of the college with two great teachers for the week, Paul Godawa from Poland and Steve Olivier from South Africa.
Points out of Paul’s teachings:
- If you struggle to give, you probably have an orphan spirit. Learn to give God’s way not your way. God will always provide for you.
- Life is about who you know – don’t look for acceptance – associate with Godly people from whom you can learn – you shall then move forward to your vision/dream/God’s purpose for you.
- Think what you expect from a friend and then ask your self are you such a friend to someone else.
- To let your small seed of faith grow progressively, you need the right environment and you have to create that environment. What you hear and see is creating the environment and you can control that. Keep space for God’s presence.
- Forgive yourself – God already forgave you through Jesus and not forgiven yourself is sin – you are not bigger than God by not forgiving yourself.
Points out of Steve’s teachings:
- Don’t accuse God for your problems. God is good.
- Don’t limit God with your thoughts and life – go for the impossible – dream big.
- Establish your love for God – God has not heard any bad thing about you since the resurrection of Jesus.
- Be worth the investment God made in you – He sacrificed His Son.
- Take up God’s promises – believe it – live it – proclaim it.
- HOPE = TO SEE IT FAITH = TO SPEAK IT
- A fool learn by consequences and the wise learn by words
