Q3. Deceiving Yourself
Lunga replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 13. Discerning the True Way (7:13-29)
By getting blessed when you hear the word but after such time you forget about it. It is possible.God blesses us with Gifts.when we slide away from Him,He doesnt take it from us.because He is a gracious God.So people keep on using His name hoping they are still on the right track,whereas they are offtrack.Those are the ones that wont be known by God. -
Q4. Disobedient Disciples?
Lunga replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 13. Discerning the True Way (7:13-29)
Jesus says obedience is better than secrifice. No way.the one who doesnt obey is not a true christian We just have to beleive God.It is not by works that we were saved but by grace. -

Q4. Seeking First the Kingdom of God
Lunga replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 10. Temptation to Worry (6:25-34)
Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness When we seek Him,we shall not want,but when we seek food and clothing we shall want. If we seek Him,all will be given automatically. -
Q3. Your Father Knows You Need Material Things
Lunga replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 10. Temptation to Worry (6:25-34)
Jesus mentioned pagans because they dont know Him.They are busy seeking things that wont take them to heaven. He wants us to look upon Him.When we do that He will automatically provide. A christian does not have stress,because all is well with His soul.Gentile is always stressfull because he is after earthly desires. I rest in Him because it is well with my soul -

He means that we should seek Him first and not beeing controlled by earthly things.It is good to be wealthy but be controled by God.and do His will.Yes ,others do.but very few. -
To store up treasures in heaven is to do God's will.The advantage is:when we are doing God's will,He gives us the desires of our hearts and He promised to give us the possessions of those who hate Him.Not uncomfortable.I am looking forward to it.Thank you

Q2. Storing Up Treasures on Heaven or Earth
Lunga replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 9. Temptation to Idolatry (6:19-24)
I think Jesus here is speaking specifically.He advices not to depend on the eartly riches because it wont take us any further.He also teaches that whatever we have ,we need to share with others.because He blesses us to be a blessing.it is a new teaching. -
Q1. Greed and the Rich Fool
Lunga replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 9. Temptation to Idolatry (6:19-24)
Jesus was condemning him for selfishness and for not seeking the kingdom of God.The key verse is"watch out and guard yourselves from every kind of greed.because a person's true life is not made up of the things he owns,no matter how rich he may be" The context of this parable:seek ye the Kingdom of God first. To the sermon on the mountain this relate by teaching that we must spare riches for ourselves in heaven.where nobody can take it away from you. -
Q4. Forgiving and Forgiveness
Lunga replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 8. The Lord's Prayer (6:9-15)
it is because we are only human.we do have mistakes.sometimes we think we are right not knowing that to God it is wrong.we have to ask forgiveness all the time. unforgiveness on our part block God's blessings becaus it it a sin.it is not the will of God.before God can bless you ,you need to to clear your concious.forgive because you were forgiven.and you also have to ask to be forgiven if you dont forgive God wont forgive you -
Q3. Prayer for Daily Bread vs. Independence
Lunga replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 8. The Lord's Prayer (6:9-15)
it is because the word of God promised that we will be the head we wont be the tail.we will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.we are not to be pitied.we seek to be independent of God because He is our maker.everything depends on Him.without Him we are but nothing.our daily bread will feed us spiritual.it is his word.without His word we are lost. -
let His kingdom finaly rule and the one rulling now should pass.it is because He knows the best and He also know what is good for us.we might ask something in which it wont last and be good for us.himself is the one who know what will last and will be good for us. we will live better life because He is the one knowing what is good for us.

Q3. Secret and Public Prayer
Lunga replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 7. Giving, Prayer, and Fasting (6:1-8, 16-18)
because we do not do things for people to honour us.it is for our father who is not seen.it is because when we gather we are the body of Christ.we are one and the prayer becomes powerful.flowery prayers are made by pegans.it is too much fleshy. -

Lunga replied to Pastor Ralph's topic in 6. The Spirit of Truthfulness and Love (5:33-48)
