EDITOR'S NOTE Malebogo Lepere Nothing gets me more excited than the festive season or Christmas or the birth of Jesus. We are left with a month until December, this is the time to get the little ones Christmas clothes and to buy each other gifts. Please do not forget to teach your children the biblical significance of Christmas. This is the time when malls are usually busy, because of the Christmas shopping with long lines. The lines are even made worse this year, as we have to observe Covid-19 protocols, by practicing social distancing. I wonder how this year festive mood will be considering the restrictions that came about covid 19 pandemic? I wonder if the boarders will be open? Everything is uncertain but one thing i am sure and certain about is that God is still on the throne and nothing is new or uncertain with him. In the midst of all uncertainty, it is very evident that some companies will not be having Christmas parties, while some are still considering doing them virtually. Covid has really stole our normal, I was really looking forward to reviewing different party themes just for fun in the coming issue but its all good something will come up, God never disappoints. We would be turning a year old in February as a magazine so keep us in your prayers.
God loves you

CHARITY
Charity can be defined in many different ways but for this issue we will focus on the two definitions below; the first being, it simply means the provision of help or relief to the poor or almsgiving. Secondly, in the Christian religious studies, charity is defined as “the friendship of man for God which unites us to God”. According to Thomas Aquinas, charity is one of the most important virtue out of the seven virtues discussed on the bible. Adding that, it extends beyond the love of God only, as it also includes neighborly love, just as the Bible calls us to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. In Mathew 25: 35-36, we learn a very valuable lesson where Jesus presented a parable before His disciples saying, “for I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me” Jesus continues in verse 40 that, “whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters, you did it for me”. As we celebrate the safety and protection that we have received during the year 2020, we should consider closely the teachings of Mathew 25:35-36 during this period and reach out to people in our communities to feed those who are hungry, clothe those in need of clothes, provide shelter to the homeless, the list is endless, all we need do is to just pick one item from the list and run with it. When we do this, we will be moving closer to fulfilling the scripture in Romans 12:10 which states thus, “be devoted to one another in love, honor one another above yourselves”. The greatest call to us during this period is to look out for one another, to offer a helping hand in times of need and to give love that can only be seen through actions.
As we approach the Christmas holidays which are well known as the period for giving and celebrating life, it is important to reflect on how the year has been. Obviously, it has been an exceedingly challenging year filled with anxiety, uncertainty, grief, e.t.c. and God has been merciful enough to us and pulled us through it all. We are at the end of the year and we are still covered by His grace and for this we must offer our gratitude for it was not by power nor by might but by the Spirit of the living God that we are alive to tell of His great deeds. There is so much that we can do especially during this period where the whole world is in the middle of a pandemic which has in the past months threatened human existence as multitudes of people contracted the virus and many others succumbed to the disease. In 1 Corinthians 13:1-2 the Bible tells us that we may speak in the tongues of men and angels, but if we do not have charity/love, then we are just but a sounding brass or a clanging cymbal, we may have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries, and have all knowledge, and have all faith that can move mountains but if we have no love or charity then we are nothing. From this verse, we should be able to practice brotherly/sisterly love which should be strengthened by our actions which do not expect any pay back or reward. Let us be encouraged to practice this kind of love that embraces all people expecting nothing in return. We may work individually or work in groups to achieve this task, our payment when we do this shall come from God Himself, righteously blessing us for the good that we would have done for His people.

God is my "Be All and End All’ simply because He is Life, without Him there is no life hence my choice scripture - 1 Cor 15:10
My full names are Elmah Nthebolan née Ndubano. I was born second in a family of 5 children. I’m married to Gerald, Nteme Nthebolan and we are blessed with three daughters; Eden (28) and her twin sisters Mosa (16) and Lereko (16). In terms of belief system, I’m a Christian and on the corporate front as an Executive Director at Geoflux (Pty) Ltd. I’m an environmentalist by profession. I was raised by pastor parents, who were also businesspeople. My childhood was pretty much mechanical and predictable in that our lives revolved around school, church activities, and assisting at the family business. I’d say church dominated our lives and came second to school. We were always surrounded by people, relatives and church family such that it felt like we were raised more in an extended family set up!

KINGDOM SHAKER
I really did not know that I will be influential as all that I am today in whatever sphere is purely by Divine providence and God’s unparalleled grace! I would not claim to be a Kingdom Shaker I can attest to passion and love for God as the impetus to all I do in the King’s Vineyard! When I graduated from being a religious person to a bonafide child of God in accordance to 2 Cor 5:17; I came across scriptures that talked to God having no pleasure with Luke warmness or taking His name in vain! This instilled reverential fear in me and resolve to do all for the Kingdom in accordance with grace extended to me at any given time. Taking cue from the fact that a miracle is an extraordinary event attributable to Divine agency I would say; when I heard God’s audible voice! This is not an everyday occurrence and I still shudder to this day whenever I relieve the moment! In my view this was the best assurance ever an individual can ever have of God’s existence and His unconditional love! That’s why I can write/ talk about it because it is not reported speech, I was graced enough to experience and I praise God for it! Childlike faith is the way to go! We live in a fallen world where there is so much unbelief propagated on the one hand by fake miracles and a lot of hyped faith acts; the key is to be given to the Word / the Scriptures; they will not only build faith in you that pleases God; but will draw you closer to God and make Him real to you!

Living right is trying to abide by the principles of God in your daily life. When you see something not done morally right, do not support it but rather take a stand based on your belief. Please understand that taking a stand is not judging other people that are struggling with being moral. It is knowing or understanding what your lifestyle says and try to support the immoral to be righteous.

SERMON By: Pst. Fortune Museke
INTRODUCTION
1.COURAGE HELPS YOU OVERCOME FEAR Fear is an emotion induced by perceived danger or threat. It is a natural, powerful, and primitive human emotion. All of us have experienced it in our lives. Sometimes fear stems from two things: real threats imagined dangers Fear manifests itself in two ways: Biochemical Reaction – When you perceive a threat, your bodies respond in specific physical ways. Physical reactions to fear include sweating, increased heart rate, and high adrenaline levels that make us extremely alert. Physical response – also called “Fight or Flight Response” - your body prepares itself to either enter combat or run away. It's an automatic response that is crucial to our survival. Have you ever wanted to do something in your life and wondered if it was going to turn out like you hoped? Fear creeped in and started causing you to doubt. It is only natural but we should allow this fear to control us. Courage is the one thing that will allow you to go ahead nevertheless. Think of a time when you had to change jobs Think of a time when you had to move to a new city Think of a time when you had to move to a new school Think of a time when you were made a new branch manager.
All these can throw a little chill down your spine because they were something you were not familiar. Nevertheless you did not allow fear to hold you down but surmounted some courage and did it anyway and it turned out well. Courage simply means taking a step regardless of the fear that tries to creep in. You are like Peter, who took a step of faith and stepped onto the water. It is courage that will make you do something that has never been done before. Have you notice that every person we call great around us is basically someone who courageously did something regardless of the fear they had. Do the same thing today, be courageous and don’t allow fear to cripple you. 2. COURAGE FACES THREATS A threat is a person or thing likely to cause damage or danger. There are many threats that one can face in a life time. One that is common to all of us COVID-19 which is affecting your health, business, the economy, families, schools etc. Amidst all the threats you are able to wake up every morning and go to work, school or do go market your products and services. It is courage that is enabling you to do all that. Think of Israel when they were in the battle field against the Palestinians. For forty days Goliath stood up taunting them and mocking their God but no one was willing to rise up n face him. When David arrived at the scene, he got angry and got the courage to fight on behalf of Israel. Needless to say he conquered the giant. Think of how hard it must be for a business man to wake up every morning to go run a business that is not making profit yet. It takes courage. Think of a single parent who works very hard every day to make ends meet for his or her kids. They do their best to get the best education for their kids. It is not easy but courage keeps them going.
14 DECEMBER 2020 | ISSUE 11
We are going to discuss COURAGE. We will be defining and analyzing some of the traits of courage and how you can apply them as you live out your life on daily basis. I know you are curious right now and you want to know what courage is. Courage is the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain etc. It entails a state of being brave and without fear. Let us take our reading from Psalm 27:14 “Wait on the LORD: be of good COURAGE, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.” Time and again in Scripture God tells us to be courageous that is why we are going to take time and learn what courage is and how important it is to us. The first thing we are going to look at is this:

Confidence is the feeling or belief that one can have faith in or rely on someone or something.
4. COURAGE BRINGS SATISFACTION Satisfaction means the fulfilment of one's wishes, expectations, or needs, or the pleasure derived from this. Some people enjoy the comfort zone that they would never do anything
Confidence and courage can be a little confusing because at times they are taken as synonyms depending on the context in which each word is

used. Let me clarify this, confidence is one of the fruits of courage. Confidence helps us with three things It gives you the power to act on your convictions. To have faith in yourself To subsequently take action Everything is good until you overdo it. Confidence is a good thing, over-confidence however can be detrimental to your cause. OverConfidence simply means that you may be too hasty or too ready to take action. You may be quick to take unnecessary risks. Think of an investor wanting to invest in some business idea. He can at least ask a few questions first; How does the investment work? What are my goals? What are the risks of this investment? How much do I expect to earn on this investment? How long do you plan to invest? What are the costs to buy, hold and sell the investment? When you have honestly answered these questions you will get enough confidence whether to invest or not. Although with any investment you stand a chance to win but it is courage that will give you the boldness to invest.
Think of someone who is scared of heights, when they finally surmount a bit of courage and do Bungee Jumping they can’t help but feel so proud and satisfied that they managed to do something they have always feared. It brings satisfaction. Think of the satisfaction you would get if you got courageous enough to quit the job that makes you miserable and land a job where you are happy. It would be so fulfilling. Think of the satisfaction you will get if you are courageous enough to approach a beautiful woman you have always dreamt of marrying and get a yes! Think of the satisfaction that would come if you got the courage to quit your job and started that business you have always wanted and get to see it thrive. Sometimes all you need to do is to courageously go for that dream you have always had and watch it get fulfilled. Nothing else can bring that much satisfaction.

“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good COURAGE; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” – Joshua 1:9. This was just before Joshua entered the Promised Land and conquered giants who stayed in fortified cities and dividing their land for the children of Israel. Needless to say it took a lot of courage for him to do all that. Maybe you are not aware of moments when you were courageous in your life too. Think of that interview that got you your job. You were very nervous but still went into that boardroom or office and faced those mean interviewers and made it! Think of those big projects that you pulled out in your life. I’m sure it was not easy especially with your budget but you were courageous and hanged in there.

FITNESS By: Onneile Kealotswe Fitness Instructor (New Skills Academy) Often we get a sense of satisfaction when we feel sore a day after a workout. We have been told that pain is a good sign that the workout was intense. This is the case most of the times. However, sometimes pain is an indication that something may have gone wrong. In this article we are going to focus on the pain that should be a cause for concern. In the previous articles, we learnt that when you exercise, muscles are put under stress and they tear and this would cause pain. Furthermore, during intense exercise, you may also experience pain due to muscle fatigue, which is the ultimate goal for each working set. With the above being said, there is a pain that you may experience due to the buildup of lactic acid. If you are not breathing properly, or your tempo is too high you force the muscle to produce energy anaerobically (without oxygen) resulting in the buildup of lactic acid. In order to guard against this, ensure that you employ proper breathing technic and the correct tempo during exercise.

Another type of pain that you should not be experiencing during exercise is a sharp pain in the muscle which maybe an indication that you have gone above the prescribed intensity level causing a major tear in the muscle being exercised. To guard against this you need to understand muscle groups (major and minor) e.g a major muscle like a quadriceps is able to withstand more resistance than a minor muscle like a bicep.

Faithful Living | A monthly Devotional BY: TONY KELESITSE Flowers are usually associated with a romantic gesture. People's faces light up whenever they receive flowers. In
THE SCENT OF FLOWERS
weddings, brides throw up bouquets as a tradition that has stood the test of time.
stands out from the list are roses. There are even metaphors around the flowers and their famous signature is love. Red roses in particular are a go to gift for most romantic occasions. It sure seems like we are now deep into botanical studies. However, my point today is centered around an ancient proverb, "A bit of scent remains with the hand of that gives roses." First of all, the sentiment in this figure of speech immediately talks about giving. It could mean anything from giving a helping hand, money, food, transport and even support. Further than that it shows just how the giver remains with the scent which could mean the fulfilment of making someone else happy with their gift. Giving comes in so many different ways and is an active way of showing love and care. The book of Proverbs Chapter 22 verse 9 is clear about the message of giving"". You are at a better position to receive blessings from God if you give to others. The most common representation of giving has been overtaken by charitable trusts and organizations who focus on providing for socioeconomic needs.
This especially occurs in poverty stricken countries. As has been suggested in the previous sentence, giving is meant to fill a gap and fulfill needs. Whenever you are compelled to give anything in kind, examine first the needs so that you may be part of the solution. The only problem with charitable giving is when it becomes a sponsor for spoon-feeding and lazy tendencies. Although this is not the direction of our discussion, it is imperative to note that issue so that it may be dealt with. It's Christmas season. Our loved ones are hopeful and expecting gifts from us. But how about we think of those who aren't sure where their next meal is going to come? The have nots and the underprivileged. How do we help them realize that they are also loved and God wants them to also be happy during this season? Go ahead and make a plan to give to someone who needs it the most and see what God can do for that effort. It's the hand of the giver that remains with the scent of roses. Remember that each time you extend a hand to give out something. Happy holidays, and remember to spread the love.
