All We Need

 We've been so blessed by God's abundant provision for all we need especially the last several years. Any time we bring a need before you (either a personal need such as when we had the accident or a community need- Bibles or food parcels etc.), God is so faithful to provide for it and often uses you to do so. I wrote this up from what we have experienced and hope that you can experience this in your own life as well. Ian

                                                                          ALL WE NEED

                                                                       PHILIPPIANS 4:19

One of the most incredible promises in the Bible is found in Philippians 4:19

“And my GOD will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Paul had been writing about the financial generosity of the believers in Philippi. The people were renowned for their giving and GOD in turn was promising to show them generosity.

Every phrase in the sentence is weighted with meaning.

MY GOD:     This is a promise based on a personal relationship with GOD. When we accept Jesus into our lives GOD welcomes us into His spiritual family. He is our caring Father and we are His beloved children. He watches over us and provides us every good gift.

WILL MEET:    GOD is the source of supply for meeting all our needs, whether they are material, emotional, physical, spiritual, financial or any other. He may use other people to help, but ultimately everything comes from Him.

ALL YOUR NEEDS:   We don’t always get everything we want and sometimes fail to receive the things we think we need. It’s easy for us to confuse wants and needs and to insist that we desperately need something when in reality we only want it. GOD promises to do what is best for us and that promise includes meeting all our needs.

ACCORDING TO HIS GLORIOUS RICHES:     Just how rich is GOD? Think about His resources. He created everything that exists and that is more than enough to provide for every person who has given their life to Jesus. GOD’S supply never runs out, we can bring any and every difficulty to Him and we will always find grace to help us in our time of need.

IN CHRIST JESUS:    When we turn over our lives to Jesus, we receive every spiritual blessing in Christ. Because of our position in Jesus we have been credited with His righteousness in exchange for our sin, GOD willingly blesses us.

What an amazing promise!

Surprise at the Post Office

God always has surprises for us! Look what we collected from the mail office: beautiful, brightly colored, hand knitted baby vests from a special friend in New Zealand!

These will be warm and snuggly, as we are going into the winter, which will be such a blessing to these moms as they try and keep their babies warm.

 

As you can see from the pictures we had fun giving them out at the different settlements.

This was such a fun surprise and we are thankful for the gift!

My Dear Friends in America:

Firstly I would like to great you all in the name of the Lord Jesus Crist I would like to thank you for everything that you’ve done for us here in Swaziland.

You’ve help my fellow Swazis they are what they are because of you. They have enjoyd the Christmas because of you, some children are going to school in ful uniform because of you, they go to clinics, go to hospitals just because of you and the is a lot that I can’t mention them all. And I would like to praise the  Lord for sending the write people to the place where they are needed and at the write time the Stephens they are my parents in Crist they show me the good ways of living. They teach me the good things to do. I thank God for them they are so good to me and to everyone who need help.

And thank you verymach guys for the new bicycle you have paid for me I like it verymach and I’ll take care of it I promise.  This bicycle is helping a lot it is easy for me now to visit the communities we are helping on own even if the Stephens are busy or not around, now the people tell me what they need and me tell the Stephens.  And I would like to praise the Lord for giving you the heart of giving, just to give to a person you’ve never mate sometimes you’ll never. In the Book of Act 20:30 my Bible tells me that it is more blessed to give then to receive.

So thank you verymach guys I wish I could be like you.

May the almighty God bless you all thank you. Your friend in Swaziland Bonginkosi Blessing Nhlanti

We are so thankful to be here and be the hands and feet of Jesus in Swaziland but we want you to know that without you behind us as support, we couldn't do what we do. We are the body of Christ together and together we have a ministry in Swaziland. We are so grateful that every time we bring a need before you, you are so generous to give and provide for that need.
