RAYER is a lonely experience for many of us. PAlthough we have been
taught that it is important to pray, we have been so disappointed and frustrated that our prayers have not been answered, we have almost given up on it.
Understanding The Power Of PrayerDOES PRAYER REALLY WORK? We may have prayed when we
are scared or sick, but it is not a regular practice in our lives. Outwardly we agree that prayer is worthwhile, but secretly we wonder if; Does God really hear me when I pray? Why does it seem as if my prayers just hit the ceiling and bounce back to me? Is God mad at me? Is that why he does not answer me? Why is prayer so boring and fruitless for me? Unanswered prayer isa major obstacle that standsin the way of a life of true faith.
Certain people have lost their faith altogether because of unanswered prayer. Some have turned to other things to find answers to life's questions and problems. Confusion about prayer also affects those who are committed Christians. Even believers who pray regularly with conviction and obtain some results have doubts about certain aspects of prayer. For example, what they are supposed to ask for, how long they should continue praying for something?
In general, there is a lack of teaching, interest and understanding about prayer in the church. Our disappointing experiences with prayer have caused us to question, “Will God's Word do what it says it will do”? We are not sure anymore. We still read the Bible and listen to preaching and teaching from the Word
of God and we know that the Word is supposed to work, but we have not had many successful experiences with the fulfilment of God's Word in our lives beyond our initial experience of salvation.
We expect things to wok if God said they are supposed to work. Therefore, when our prayer s seems to go unanswered, what effect does this have on us? The spiritual and emotional pain can be deep and devastating. It can lead to sorrow, despair, bitterness and rebellion. It can damage the foundation of our faith and lead to these results: (i) we feel abandoned and isolated from God. (ii) We question God's character and integrity. (iii) We feel as if our lives are very unsettled and unstable. (iv) We come to premature conclusions about ourselves and our prayers.
Many Christians today are experiencing powerless-ness, lack of direction, little victory over sin, poor spiritual progress, unfruitful ministry, poverty and other challenges simply because we don't know how, when and why to pray. Others do know some of the principles of prayer but are not fulfilling their full potential as intercessors because they don't understand certain key aspects of prayer. The power of prayer is the inheritance of the believer. Prayer is meant to be answered or God would
not ask us to pray. He is not interested in wasting our time and efforts. God is interested in results, not just “many words” (Matthew 6:7) spoken in prayer. Jesus' approached to prayer was also very practical. He didn't pray without expecting to be heard. At one point He said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I know that you always hear me” (John 11:41-42) We need to know how to approach GOD and learn the kind of prayer God responds to. We need to pray as Jesus prayed.
LET'S PRAY TOGETHERHeavenly Father, You have said, “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great a d unsearchable things we do not know” (Jeremiah 33:3) on the basis of this promise, we call to You and ask You to show us great and unsearchable truths about prayer that You have set forth in your Word. Forgive us for leaning on our own understanding when it comes to prayer.
Heal us from the spiritual and emotional effects that unanswered prayers have worked in us. Give us open minds and hearts to hear Your Word and to allow the Holy Spirit to teach us Your purposes and truth. We pray this in the name of Jesus, our Wisdom and our Strength, Amen
Prayer is one of the most misunderstood arts of the human experience, YET it is meant to be one of the most exciting aspects of a life of faith.

n Friday 1 June 2015, the District Mayor Cllr M. ONhlabathi presented his
2015/16 budget vote which had a projected view into 2018. During his speech, the Hon. Mayor reinforced that freedom should mean that people are free from poverty, unemployment, racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination.
He expressed concern that poverty and discrimination continues to exist within women and children, elderly and people with disabilities within our society.“Our beloved District is predominantly a rural District Municipality yet one of the centers that hold the economy of our country “South Africa” due to its mineral resources, a vast tourism attraction and agricultural activities.” Said Mayor Nhlabathi.
Mayor Nhlabathi assured the house that much has been done under the ANC Government to better the lives of the people of Gert Sibande District since 1994. “The National Development Plan (NDP) has confirmed that indeed much has been achieved in 21 years than it has been in 102 years.
In its Manifesto, the ANC, on whose mandate we stand before this house as messengers, made a commitment that it is determined to make local government work in ensuring that:·No community will still be using the bucket toilet system or VIP system in our district·That all communities will have access to clean water and decent sanitation·That all our houses will have access to electricity·That there is a universal provision of free basic services.
As a district we have continued to implement both
funded and unfunded mandates in the name of service delivery as enshrined in Schedule 4b and 5b of our constitution read together with Section 84 of Local Government Municipal Structures Act No 117 of 1998.” He recapped.
The District together with the Provincial Government and local Municipalities has improved a great deal in particular with regard to integrated planning which is aimed at avoiding duplications of projects and programmes by the three spheres of government. This includes the level of participation by communities in the affairs of the District Municipality.
The District Municipality continues to provide financial and technical support to local Municipalities towards sound financial management and better audit opinions in the footsteps of the District as such a foundation translates into a meaningful and lasting improvement on the people's living conditions.
“I wish to thank our communities, councillors, our local municipalities, traditional leaders, business and national and provincial governments and all stakeholders for their support and joint effort in striving to make Gert Sibande District a better place to live in.” said Mayor Nhlabathi.The tabling of the Budget speech happened 32 days before the beginning of the New Financial Year, and Mayor Nhabathi presented the 2014/15 Reviewed Integrated Development Plan (IDP) and Budget for Gert Sibande District Municipality.“It is evident that to us, Public Participation is not just a formality but a revolutionary mandate based on the Freedom Charter principle
that says;“The people shall govern”As the district municipality in consultation with our local municipalities and communities, we have strived to ensure that this is the people's budget which is pro-poor and seeks to achieve the objectives of National Development Plan vision 2030 as enshrined in the ANC Manifesto.” He said.
“The Gert Sibande District Municipality unlike other districts is not a Water Services Authority and therefore is only dependent on grants as a source of revenue and income. In order to move closer to creating the
Gert Sibande District Municipality as the home of excellence and opportunities for a better life with the limited resources at our disposal, we are here today tabling before council a Total Budgeted Revenue for 2015/16.” He said.In his tabling of the budget for 2015/16, Nhabathi allocated R460 million to Financing, and the Capital Budget received R12.5 million.
Local Municipality Grands were allocated as follows:Albert Luthuli – R12,350,000. R5 million going to the upgrade of Council chambers
Msukaligwa – R20,500,000. A large portion going to maintenance mainly roads, bulk infrastructure and elec networks.
Govan Mbeki – R6,257,570. R2.2 million going to the upgrade of Sports fascilities.
Mkhondo – R13,061.076. R6.7 million going to operations and maintenance support and R4 million going to the provision of water supply to rural communities.
Lekwa – R8,200,000. R3.4 million going to Operations and maintenance support and R3 million going to Water conservation and demand.
Depaleseng – R9,200,000. R2 million going to Reg Bulk infrastructure Balfour, R3.5 million going to the upgrading of sports fascilities.
Each Municipality received R1 miilion for boreholes maintenance and R500,000 for VIP's.

pumalanga Premier David Mabuza has Mexpressed his gratitude
on Innibos Management's keenness to partner with the provincial government by hosting an all inclusive arts festival in Mbombela.
Premier Mabuza was speaking at an executive council meeting yesterday [Tuesday, 09 June 2015] after the Innibos Management came to make a presentation committing itself to respond to the call by the provincial government to ensure that the festival was inclusive to all citizens.
The Premier said he was “impressed” by the keenness of the Innibos Management to partner with the provincial government in developing, supporting and promoting cultural excellence in Mpumalanga.
Innibos is an arts and culture festival held annually in Mbombela, at Hoerskool Bergvlam, which boasts with almost a weeklong non-stop entertainment, music productions, art exhibitions with stalls presenting arts, food, restaurants and children's entertainment areas.
The provincial government threatened to pull out its 10-year long support for the festival after an unfortunate incident where one of the invited artists, Steve Hofmeyer, sang “Die Stem” causing an uproar making the festival to be viewed as not contributing to nation building, non-racialism and social cohesion but perceived as promoting apartheid.
After some interactions
between the provincial government and Innibos Management, there was a consensus that moving forward, there was a need to promote social cohesion amongst the citizens. The Innibos Management committed to adhere fully to the processes and activities that would assist realize social transformation and nation building.
Briefing the executive council yesterday, one of the founders of the festival Ms Sandra Jacobs said partnership between Innibos and the provincial government would create a platform for “greater mutual understanding” between the cultural groupings in Mpumalanga.
She added that Innibos Festival was a strong brand, not only in Mpumalanga province but also nationally.
“Through a strong partnership, Innibos and Mpumalanga Provincial Government can create numerous platforms which will promote and develop the arts on all levels in our province and it will certainly be a great contribution towards creating a more cohesive society,” said Ms Jacobs.
She apologised before the
executive council about the unfortunate incident that transpired at last year's festival, saying it was not part of the rehearsed programme.
“Innibos would like to state categorically that the unfortunate event of Steve Hofmeyr singing the
old national anthem at Innibos in 2014 did not meet with the approval of the management and board of Innibos.
“It was not part of the approved and rehearsed programme. Mr Hofmeyr abused our platform for his own political agenda. His

conduct was in direct conflict with the Innibos vision and mission. It created division amongst cultural groups and even within the Afrikaans community.
“This is a regrettable situation that has broken down good relationships built up over many years in 45 seconds. We commit ourselves as the management of Innibos and as loyal South Africans to ensure that this incident will not be repeated. As such, Mr Hofmeyr is no longer welcome to perform at the Innibos festival grounds,” said Ms Jacobs.
Meanwhile, Premier Mabuza welcomed the apology saying it was unfortunate that there was a lot of exchange from the media without them having not found time to discuss.
“I am happy that we have finally found each other, it is a brilliant discussion to build partnership especially building our beautiful province. I am impressed that this will lay to rest the matter that has been haunting us for a loing time.
“As from today this matter is behind us becaue there was a bad perception that was created; that 'this Premier is anti-Innibos', we are impressed that there are people like you who are brave enough to take such an initiative that is helping all of us to deal with the problems of the past,” said Mabuza.
The Premier said the provincial government wanted to be a serious partner of Innibos. The executive council committed R1.5 million financial support to indicate its dedication and commitment in supporting the transformed festival, although Innibos had asked for a R1 million sponsorship.
The executive council has again offered to negotiate with the Mbombela Local Municipality to have the festival held at a traffic-free Mbombela Stadium, and it has again accepted the invitation to attend the festival.

A GUIDE FOR START-UP BUSINESSES(PART 3)here are some small behaviours that, if we do them regularly, Thave a ripple effect across our
lives far in proportion to the time and effort we put into them.
Making your bed in the morning is one of them. The experts say it leads to a greater purpose and sense of order through the day, and better sleep at night. (I bet 99% of mothers preach the power of a tidy bedroom, without having to do any research into it.)
Exercise is another example. If you do regular exercise you enjoy, at a level that's exactly right for you, the effect can snowball.
I've not suddenly turned this post into a lifestyle magazine. But making your bed and doing exercise are called keystone habits. The thing about keystone habits is that they leave us feeling more in control, more empowered. (And you don't have to do them all -- each one works on its own!)
Making small changes to the way you spend or save is also a keystone habit. Believe me I know -- I'm far more concerned about other people's money than my own so although I know the theory, my spending patterns can get haphazard.
A young friend and I had a ritual of buying coffee at work: he would buy for both of us one day, and I would return the favour the next day. But he wanted to save for a bicycle and I needed to reduce expenses, so we decided to cut out the coffees. It was hard for a few days, not really because I missed the taste of good coffee but because it was a ritual and we bonded over it. For positive feedback, I had a glass jar at home and every day I put in a scrap of paper with R20 written on it -- the cost of a cup of coffee plus tip. And very soon the attachment to the ritual fell away and I got a bit of a kick from finding other ways to stuff the jar with savings made in the supermarket
and for things I was very tempted to buy but decided against because I was in savings mode. (For convenience I wasn't putting real money in but that might work for you.) I got more budget conscious and my friend did eventually get his bicycle, which has brings him huge pleasure.
What's in that story that could be helpful for you?
1.Some spending habits are more about emotion than about the things you actually buy. Emotion is always important, but they need to be understood, not ignored or followed slavishly. In this example, I thought the coffee ritual was the glue of friendship but found the friendship was based on more than that. Silly really, when I look at it afterwards.
2.Sometimes we have "spending partners". This could be a person who we spend money with because it's fun. Or a person we spend
money on to keep them happy. Or a person we spend money on to make ourselves feel less guilty. Children, spouses or partners, parents, friends -- they can all qualify! To change your behaviour, you'll need to get co-operation from your spending partner. But go gently with yourself and others in this; find happy alternatives (like a diplomat) rather than be a dictator. 3. Once a habit is broken, a new positive feeling can develop (the pleasure of accumulating savings and of having power over your habits). 4. Change works better if your progress is measurable. 5. It helps if you can share your progress and commitment with someone else.
od is not looking for perfect people but he is looking for Gpeople he can use. God is
not looking for rich people but he is looking for a poor person that he can make rich so that his glory can be seen.
We sometimes run away from God because we feel we are not good enough to serve God as he is a perfect God who is looking for perfect people to follow him.
We become scared to serve God because of the way he was presented to us.
God-of-the-Angel-Armies said, “They are mine, all “mine.
They'll get special treatment when I go into action. I treat them with the same consideration and kindness that parents give the child who honors them. Once more you'll see the difference it makes between being a person who does the right thing and one who doesn't, between serving God and not serving Him.'”
We all come to a point in our lives where we ask God why bad people around us seem to be doing better off than us. We feel like we always have it rough and they have it a lot easier than us. It aways seems easier to just give up, but deep won you know that what you
Yes we know that God is Love and holy, but he also has mercy and grace, In mercy he does not count our sins as we know that the devil is very good at reminding us of the bad things we have done, and that God does not want us because we are sinners and, the devil even makes examples and points people to us who think they are perfect and he
say: as you see so and so, I know you cannot be like him/ her because that person is too perfect. Infact some people are helped by
have with God, is deeper than any connection that you will ever find here on this earth.
The day the Spirit led me to this wonderful scripture I was happy and jolly. The day I needed to remind myself about its power, was when I was feeling broken and down. That's what happens to us all. But with the above scripture we now know that when our Father takes action, we will be the last one's standing.
I have come to think of us as always having the very best, because our God wants the very best for us. He saves the best for last at most times. When the enemy has given his worst attack to you; you see God rising above it all and
God because they dedicate their lives to God everyday. There are people who think they are perfect and when you do a research on them you find that they are an imitation of perfect but their lives are miserable, they think they are living for Christ but they are just accompaning Christ. Do not panic but remember what he did on the cross for you, just you alone, he did not say I am dying on the cross for curtain sins, but he said he died on the cross for all our iniquities and weeknesses all our sins. He died for you so that you can live, he wanted to bring back your relationship with God, and re-united with your father.
making a bigger and better way for you.
The best way to keep thinking about this passage is to replay the things that He did for you in the past and present. He was able to bless you with life. You need to be stepping up and making the most with it. It's like He gave us all a kitchen with all the nice food we want and need in the fridge and cupboards.
He says you can go and enjoy the food that's there as much as you want to. But instead of going to cook the food, you just sit or roll on the floor and cry and complain and say that God isn't fair. You complain and say that He didn't show you how to open the fridge, or how to open the
God is not looking for perfect people
Kingdom BenefitsMalachi 3: 17-18 (MSG)
He has grace for us: meaning he is giving us what we do not deserve, the are things we have done wrong to people and it is hard for them to forgive us, in God we do things that are totally wrong and yet he still gives us things that we do not deserve he still loves us and he still blesses us, we have hurt others and our relationship got messed up and it was hard to build them back again and sometimes when you hurt a person it is not easy to build back that relationship, but in God we are able to go back to him and he will not even count for us what we have done wrong.
I dont know how Christ was presented to you but what you must
know is that Christ is Love and he wants to give you his love, he is still standing at the door and he is knocking kindly open the door for him and your life will never be the same again. Believe me I am a living testimony.
cupboards.It may sound silly, but that's
what we do to Him. This year, let us step up and embrace the beauty that Our Father blesses us with. Things may not be the way that you want them to be right now, but then you are on your way. The food may not be ready right now, but then you have to start cooking or else you will keep starving.
It's a season to allow God to be GOD our Father! He wants to take care of His children; but those same kids are too busy running away and trying to figure life out on their own. Let us go back to our Father and allow Him to finish the good works that he started in all our hearts and lives.
Have a blessed week, understanding that God will be taking action for you. And even though others seem to be doing better, when it's your turn, they will not have any option but to be happy for you and to celebrate you. This is your year!
Most of us need to make an adjustment to liberate a bit of cash for investing. When we do that, and when we start to clear the confusion around investing, then we are beginning to pay our money the attention it deserves. Tomorrow: Fitting investment into your life Until then, be happy. -- Margie
