Thank you for everyone comments and just the engagement in general. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
So it's been a while since I did a Bible study video. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
And reason being is I don't want to just speak because I'm a speaker. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
I really want to feel like God wants to speak through me and has something to say. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
So I really see the request. But I think it's very important to also take the lead of the Holy Spirit. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
I hope that really makes sense. So if you've noticed on my channel, I've been speaking a lot about relationships. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
And if you've listened to my story, you'll understand why relationship dynamics are so important to me. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
But before we get to all the other relationships, relationship with your mother, with your spouse, your boyfriend, your girlfriend, the most important relationship is with God because all your relationships flow from there. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
And I'm excited that so many of you asked me for me, how can I get closer to God? | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
How can I fix my relationship with God? How do I even get started? | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
So receiving messages and comments like that is really encouraging because it already says that, okay, so people are really interested in having the good life, the God life. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
So that's my teaching today. Having a relationship with God, drawing nearer to God. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
Let me see what I actually titled it in my notes. Building a relationship with God. So I got saved at the age of 13, 14. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
I grew up in church and I've always really been that child who's interested in the Bible. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
As a result, my mom bought me Bibles as gifts. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
I've always been really, really interested in it. And not everyone is like that. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
I think it also comes as a personality type or you kind of grow into it. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
Like for me, my husband loves watching sermons and he enjoys worship. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
I am more of, I love to get and study the word, you know? | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
So there's different ways. So we are going to study the book of John. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
John chapter 2, the most quoted verse that people listen, even people who aren't saved quote this verse. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
Jesus turned water into wine. So I studied John chapter 2 sometime this month. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
I can't remember who explained it, but this is how they interpreted this chapter. And I took notes from that. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
And they were talking from a different perspective, but I decided to take those notes and see how I can bring them to you, simplified and to your relationship with God. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
So I'm going to read from verse 1 up to verse 8 or up to verse 9 to give context. And then we'll keep going back. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
I'm going to be using my phone to read the Bible because it's going to take a while to keep paging to the different scriptures that I'm going to give reference to. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
I use the Everyday Bible life application. It is an expensive Bible. It's a study Bible. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
People have asked me about it. You can get it at Kumbox on Take A Lot. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
It ranges from about a thousand Rand. However, you don't need to get this Bible. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
New Living Translation Bible is a great Bible. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
Any Bible, but if you're starting out, New Living Translation and Good News Bible is a good Bible. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
And then when you really start getting into studying the Bible, then you can invest in an amplified study Bible. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
But a Bible is a Bible. It's all the same word. This one just has inserts that I really enjoy. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
And if you don't afford to buy a Bible yet, the fact that you're on YouTube means you can get the Bible app. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
This is the first miracle that Jesus performed. John chapter 2 from verse 1. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
On the third day, there was a wedding at Kanna of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
And both Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
When the wine was all gone, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no more wine. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
Jesus said to her, Dear woman, what is it that to you and to me, my time to act and to be revealed, has not yet come? | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
His mother said to the servants, whatever he says to you, do it. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
Now there were six stone water pots set there for the Jewish custom of purification, ceremonial washing, containing 20 or 30 gallons each. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
Jesus said to the servants, fill the water pots with water. So they filled them up to the brim. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
Then he said to them, Draw some out now and take it to the head waiter of the banquet. So they took it to him. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
And when the head waiter tasted the water, which had turned into wine, not knowing where it came from, though the servant who had drawn the water knew, he called the bridegroom and said to him, Everyone else serves his best wine first. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
And when people have drunk freely, then he serves that which is not so good. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
But you have kept back the good wine until now. So how does this relate to building your relationship with God? | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
I have got four points here in building your relationship with God. Number one, you have to invite God. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
We go back to chapter 2, verse 2, and says, it says, and both Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
Jesus did not just pitch at the wedding. He was actually invited to be at the wedding. So what does that say about you? | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
Jesus is not going to knock down your walls and literally ruin your life to try being your life. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
He's a gentleman. And one of the gifts he has given us is free will and choice. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
So he has given you a choice to choose him or to choose the enemy and to choose your own will. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
So you have to invite the Holy Spirit and Jesus into your life. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
Firstly, you start by inviting God or Jesus by accepting him as your savior. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
Now, this is how salvation happens. I will open the book of Romans 10. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
Okay, I'm going to be using the New Living Translation on my phone. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
And it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
So if you're thinking, well, me, churches are closed now and I haven't accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, am I doomed? | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
No, you don't need a building or a pastor or a church to help you accept Christ. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
Yes, they are there to facilitate and assist us, but assist us. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
But right now, all you have to do is firstly believe. You have to declare that he is Lord of your life. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
And then you have to believe it in your heart that he was raised from the dead. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
So that is how you firstly invite Jesus into your life. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
This is you saying now, God, I've lived my own life and I've done my own thing, but it is time that I accept you. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
It is time that I make you the God of my life. And you do that by accepting him. And that is how we get to heaven. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
We don't get to heaven by giving people food, by feeding the needy, by praying 10 times a day. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
We get to heaven by just accepting his salvation and declaring and believing that he died on the cross for us. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
So step one. And then you invite him daily. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
After you have invited Jesus into your life as a savior, you need to invite him daily. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
I was actually listening to a sermon by Joyce Meyer and she was saying she needs a miracle every 10 minutes because her mouth is not safe. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
And I relate and I said, you know what, God, I actually need a miracle every five minutes because if I don't have you, if I don't keep inviting you into my life, I say things that aren't nice to people. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
I look at things in a way that you don't look at them. I complain. Like my flesh is weak. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
That is why I need to constantly invite the Holy Spirit. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
Here's what it says about inviting him into your life on a daily. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
I'm going to go to the book of Revelations 3 verse 20. It says, look, I stand at the door and knock. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and we will share a meal together as friends. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
So Jesus comes to us every single day and he says, hey, I'm here. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
Will you let me in? I want some attention. When you're busy watching series the whole day, he knocks. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
Hey, Mbumi, don't you want to give me a chance? | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
Don't you want to give me 10 minutes of your day? Don't you want to open the Bible? | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
But one thing you won't do is turn off and trip the electricity so that you'll be forced to switch on the word because then that is not love. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
If love is forced, it's not love. But he loves us so much that he continues to pursue us. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
My husband likes to talk about the song Reckless Love, that His love is so reckless that He continues to come back even after we chase Him away. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
He continues to pursue us and say, Hey, give me a chance. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
Open my word. Pray to me. I am here. I want to be here with you. So that is step one: inviting Jesus into your heart. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
Number two, obey what he says. Now, this is from, this is in verse five. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
His mother said to the servant, whatever he says to you, do it. Right. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
So we know the scripture or the saying that says obedience is better than sacrifice. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
So most of us, we like, and this conversation happens a lot when you talk about giving and tithing. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
And the word of God says, if you bring your tithes and offering to the storehouse, I will bless you so much that you don't have room enough to receive. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
And then people say, oh, but what if I take my 10% to the needy in Africa or whatnot? | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
The word says, bring my tithes and offering into the storehouse. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
The storehouse is the place of worship. And tithe is 10%. Whether you give... | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
100 grand or how much, but you don't give that 10% first to God, you're still not obeying what he's saying. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
You're doing the right thing, but are you obeying? | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
You're doing the sacrifice, but are you obeying? You know, and many of us struggle with that. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
Is that we want to do all the works, but God just asked you for a simple thing. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet | |
I just want your time, I just want time with you, but we want to do everything else. | mpoomy | Not supported with pagination yet |
