Moriel South Africa – Continued to reveal and glorify the Son, as well as to convict of sin. Secondly, we have fellowship with the Son. 1 Corinthians 1:9. “God is faithful, through whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” We have to have Koinonia with the Son for the following reasons. As the passage says, ‘Jesus is Lord.’ Why is He Lord Because the Father has made Him so. Turn to 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 it says for “But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be abolished is death. For, He put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he saith, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is excepted who did subject all things unto him. And when all things have been subjected unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto him, that God may be all in all.” He shall put down all rule and authority. He shall deliver the Kingdom to God. He must reign till all enemies are under His feet. He shall have all things subject to Him. And Acts 4:12 says, “And in none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved.” Jesus is Lord! He is salvation. If we do not have fellowship with the Son, in the very real sense of the Word, we are in danger of coming to Him in these last hours and saying “Lord, Lord, did we not prophecy in your name, cast out demons in your name, perform miracles in you name” – And because we had not ‘koinonia’, no fellowship, nothing in common with Him, He will say “I never knew you, depart from Me you who practice lawlessness.” Think of the horror of that situation. “I never know you.” Notice He didn’t say, “You never did works for me, you never evangelized for me, you never tithed to me.” “I never knew You”! You see it’s about fellowship, it’s about relationship, it’s about communion with Jesus as your Saviour, ‘koinonia’ with our Lord. Thirdly, because we have fellowship with the Spirit, because we have fellowship with Jesus, we can have fellowship with the Father. 1 John 1:1-3: That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, David Royle that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we beheld, and our hands handled, concerning the Word of life (and the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare unto you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us); that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you also, that ye also may have fellowship with us: yea, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ: Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father, interceding as our advocate, so we can come before the Father and be reconciled through His precious blood and have fellowship. Why do we need to be reconciled Because we as human beings were lost in our Sin and the Father is a Holy God; and not just Holy… But as Isaiah says in chapter 6 ‘Holy, Holy, Holy.’ The Father is Holy, the Son is Holy, the Spirit is Holy. Holiness is the very nature of His being. And a Holy God required the payment of our Sin and He knew works could not cover the debt or the sacrifice of animals. He needed a perfect sacrifice that no human being could pay. And so in His love, in His mercy, in His justice, He sent Him who was most precious to Him, His only begotten Son, Yehsua. You see Genesis 1:26 says, “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” When we see the tri-unity of the Godhead, we see all that is balanced, wholesome and lovely in perfect harmony and perfect fellowship. And He created us for fellowship too so that we may have fellowship with Him. From the beginning, that was the way it was meant to be and now through Jesus, God sees us as restored, reconciled with Him if we are in Christ today. And what fellowship we can have and will have with Him because He is holy, because He is the creator, because He is omniscient, omnipresent, He holds the universe together and yet, as Psalm 8 says, He is mindful of us’. And as John 3:16 says, He loves us so much. Fellowship, Koinonia, with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and yes, even us too. That we should have communion, a sharing together with them that we may grow to be more and more like Jesus everyday. Are we really in fellowship Are we ready for fellowship Do you now understand the depth of fellowship God called us too Let me conclude. In Genesis where it all began, God spoke forth His creation and on every level He said “it is good,” the earth, the trees, the seas, the sun, the moon. But when He looked at Adam, He said, “it is not good that the man should be alone, I will make a helper for him,” in the Hebrew a counter balance. Marriage was the second fellowship created, the first was with God Himself. The next was with families as the man and woman had children. You see koinonia rings us balance, koinonia keeps us stable, koinonia draws us closer to each other and to God. Do you deserve Koinonia Isn’t it funny that since the fall, and particularly within these days, our relationship with God, within marriages and with families, the first three created are ever more being attacked, ruined, decimated by the father of lies. Why Because Satan understands more than us the effect koinonia has. So He wants to your this assembly. He wants to ruin our marriages. He wants to ruin the relationship between father, son, mother daughter, brother, sister. I have recently been investigating the attack on marriage by homosexuals and Liberals with their insistence on the normality of same sex union. Our cowardly backslidden government allowing children as young as five to be groomed for sex changes when they are older. Satan is at work world wide and it seems at this time he is winning the battle for our families. Next time we will look at who we should not fellowship with and the barriers to fellowship along with the issues of marriage and families. But maybe right now you are beginning to recognize the importance of deep fellowship with the triune God. And maybe you are recognizing that there are obstacles in its way. And if that’s the case, are we going to do something about it May it never be that some of us may one day hear these words “I never knew you.” But also, you may recognize right now, that old Cloven Hooves, has been pitter pattering around your assembly. Even worse that through his lies and half truths he has been waging war on your marriage, on your family. In that case, again, what are you going to do about it Are you just going to give in Are you going to ignore it Or are you going to fight for your son or daughter Fight for you husband or wife Fight for that person in the assembly How do you fight Well those who have been around the block once or twice know how he works. First of all he uses our pride. “I won’t say sorry.” “I won’t make the first move.” “I’m right, they’re wrong” Sound familiar Then he uses our rebellious nature - even when we know what the word says, we say “Why should I humble myself” “Why should I have to go that extent” Sound familiar Isn’t it funny that pride and rebellion are the best things that Satan does next to lying. Fellowship with God. Do you have fellowship with the Spirit today Do you have fellowship with the Son today 16 Moriel Quarterly • September 2012
Do you have fellowship with the Father today If not put it right. What about your fellowship, the relationships with the ones you love Do you have fellowship with your brothers and sisters in Christ Do you have fellowship with your husband or wife Do you have fellowship with your parents and children If not, you have the opportunity ‘TO- DAY’ to put that right. Let’s not do things Satan’s way and give into lies, give into rebellion, give into pride! But give in to God and restore fellowship. Dave Royle Western Cape Moriel Fellowship Dear friends and family, some sad news. . . Lyn and I got some sad news the other day. One of the children that we nursed for a couple of years ‘Letty’ went to be with the Lord. She would have been 17 this month. Letty because of her small brain syndrome, blindness and epilepsey was a real character. She loved singing at church and usually put the preacher off his step, I think Jacob and I can testify to that. But when singing Hymns it was amazing how her face used to change and she would raise her hands as if to grasp at something that we could not see. Letty’s life was tough, found in a tent in a Joberg Park she became entrenched in the care system and was woefully thin, so thin she could not walk. However, Lyn and I decided to take her back to Ebyown for a few years, where she met Jacob, and spent her time fattening up and learning to walk. The carers who worked for us did a fantastic job and her epilepsy was controlled wonderfully. Bless Victoria and Julie for their wonder care for her. When we moved to the Cape unfortunately we had to make plans to leave her in a hospice. Her condition was not good and her biological mother wanted somewhere near so she could visit. We would like to thank Tini Vorster Hospital for their love and care and making her last days comfortable. Letty had been with the Lord for a while when we found out and so we missed the funeral. It is however still sad when a young lady goes home, even sadder that she lived so many years not seeing or walking and obviously suffering. I would like to think that through the Lords work at Ebyown that her final years were filled with song and laughter and more importantly Jesus. In Jesus Dave and Lyn Jacob and Letty moriel missions philippines #66 Tagumpay St. Purok 4 Landfill, New Cabalan Olongapo City, Philippines August 2012 Paul Sevilla Dear Brethren and Christian Friends, We praise and thank the Lord for you who have a generous heart for supporting the ministry. While beholding the children in taking their food we feel the joy of God’s goodness. Truly the Lord loves the children (Mark 10:14) and we follow Christ’s instruction – commissions. Around 40% of the children accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. On our Bible Study after we finished the lesson about baptism, only nine children followed the Lord in water baptism showing their first step of obedience. The visit of Bro. Geoff Toole here for Bible Seminar encourages mothers, church members, pastors and pastor’s wives. Some of our young children are now having confidence in singing praises for the Lord in front of Christian people, like when we brought them to the Young Peoples Fellowship at Botolan Zambales and Church Anniversaries. blessings Our prayers were answered by the Lord and you are the channel for God’s answers. Thank you very much for all this blessings. We have now sound systems – (microphone, speakers, and guitar), personal computer and a new cafeteria. The young children are eager to learn how to use the computer. My son Jacob teaches them the basics; some of them easily learn and it helps them do their school homework. We sometimes use the computer in teaching the children about Bible stories by C.D. and internet viewing. My son Jacob uses it in searching praise and worship songs for the young children for practice. Some of our young children learn the basics of playing the organ. The young girls are assigned to play it in time of Bible education while the young boys lead in song and organ playing during Chapel Hour. As of now we use the former cafeteria for a computer room and for a Bible study room for ages 8 and below.We use the newly constructed room for Young Children’s Hour, Prayer Meeting, Bible Study of children ages 9 and above, Bible study of Mothers and Chapel Hour. Mothers and children were happy and thankful for the new cafeteria. We are sure all of us involved in the ministry are happy too. prayer request • For dump children to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. • For Good Health. • Good health for all Moriel Ministries and Family. • More Blessings for Moriel Ministries. • Daily Bread, Physical and Spiritual.
