Becoming part of a team

Bernard — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 13:55:22 +0000

I have been reading a lot of books this year……

I must say….. more than ever before in my life. Amazing how simple disciplines allow you to do the impossible in times when there is no time.

The book I am busy with right now, deals with leadership….. teamwork and being part of a team.

In the past few chapters a few things have been really truthful to me.
1. When there is one person…. being lazy or slacking or not measuring up to the rest of the team. The whole team is held back and will eventually overworked.

2. If there is one bad apple. Someone with a negative attitude in your team…. he will eventually make the whole group negative. Deal with him or her. confront them with love.

3. In order for any team to work there is a person needed. A person that goes far and beyound the call of duty. A person that is motivating the whole team. One that works harder than the rest. Appreciate that person and give recognition.

Well ……. I pray that we will become BLAZE TEAM..

Weekend of Refreshment

8-10 May 2009

The following sessions are the ones I believe the Holy Spirit is impressing on my heart for BLAZE at this stage.

13:00 – 14:00 Session 1 – How to trust God and be practical

Let’s be honest. It is a confusing situation we are in, normally. We know we should believe in God, and yet we also know that there is some practical responsibility on our side. I can’t pray, trust God for a breakthrough and do nothing, yet, when I do things it seems as if I am not really relying on God. We are all facing a lot of financial and lyfestyle challenges and this question is coming up in the hearts of many believers. Where is the balance. What can I do Biblically? How can I stand……. in Faith and doing what I know is expected of me?

This is an extremely practical session and will require a day, week and month planner. It is aimed at all believers and ensure lifestyle changes that will address all foundational problems in the pursuit of “living by faith”

Hab 2:4 “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him, but the righteous shall live by his faith.

Rom 1:17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”

Gal 3:11 Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.”

14:30 – 15:30 – Session 2 – Organism in Action

The reality is far beyound comprehension. Most believers simply do not believe in the Organism, we call Body of Christ. There is a common misconception, but also the ignorance around it. Most believers see themselves as part of the Body of Christ, but does not see themselves connected to it in any other way accept for accidental connection.

We hear the comment all to often these days: “I believe in God but not in the church”. We hear comments like: ” I don’t have to go to church to be a christian” and “I’m doing fine without the church anyway”

What is the real picture of the Church and is it different to the Body of Christ?

16:00 – 17:00 – Session 3 – Blueprint turmoil

After spending time with a lot of people concerning the basic foundation of their faith I have realized that it is a simple matter of misunderstanding the truth or …. in fact not knowing the truth. Most fruit that is dead is produced because of these basic fundamental truths that are not in line. Some truths make no significant difference, but there are some that can cuase turmoil. I believe in this session we will capture the top 10 truths that will cause turmoil if they are not in place.

The session is designed for the purpose of identifying these truths. Most lies in your life could be caused by not having these basic truths in your life. This will enable discussion and ideas of ministery towards your own disciples.

17:30 – Baptism

Please notify the office if you would like to be baptised.

18:30 – 20:00 - Soaking Session

In this session we focus on whatever God wants to do. We rely on the leading of the Spirit by everyone attending. Ministering towards each other and drinking in the manifested presence of God. Spending time in His presence around the gifts functioning in our lives. There is no sermon or teaching in these sessions ………..

11:00 Family lunch

This bring and braai event is built around the belief that we should get to know each other better within the group. The Bible refers to this conduct a few times. We endeavor to spend time socializing around each other and would love you to join us. Bring a salad and whatever you would like to drink or eat. Looking forward to spend some time with you.

Our Heart, goals and purpose is empasized in this session and will deffinately help you understand what we are doing. There is no obligation because of attendance! Feel free to drop in, just to know more…..

18:30 Celebration Service

Our evening service is set aside for our members to celebrate the theme of the month. Each celebrating it in their own way. We urge them to use their own abilities and creativeness in celebrating the theme. There is no teaching during this session.
