The Dichotomy: God is interested in all areas of your life sis…

Can we talk about the dichotomy of pressing into one thing and then having another thing give out or other things drop. Like you are trying to press into God and your pressing is going alright. But now if you are like me you are too tired to go and brush your teeth and wash your face...can we be real in God's sanctuary. Or you know you tried to meal prep for all week but all of a sudden your laundry is lacking and your bills are behind. Well I am glad it's not just me. As I need great persuasion to just stand up and brush my teeth.

For some reason the Spirit of God touched and moved my heart to this scripture. These days I am learning to trust God's process when it doesn't make sense to me... So let's break down the scripture. In one instance when this scripture says I require that "all" would be saved. I just thought I think this refers to every area of my life. Or all areas of life. Every single part of it. I wish I went to theology or Bible school maybe I would break down the Word saved...listen I went to the Internet and it says the Word saved means (sozo in Greek origin). Which has multiple meanings but mostly it means to save, deliver and 'make whole'. This makes  the “whole” part feel good to me because it means God requires to bring divine completion into our everyday lives...that is exactly what Coffee Table Evangelism is about experiencing God through other avenues of life and through all avenues of life. You see God wants to make whole every avenue of your life. He wants everything to be healed. Not just your finances but your mind, your peace. You see God has our best interests at heart. God wants to be in your cleanliness-brushing-your-teeth business, your drip. I mean hey you can barely stay outta people's business yourself... so let God be all up in yours OK? Ok!

1 Timothy 2:4 New International Version
4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth

And lastly I want to offer that God is and has been looking for you. I don't know what you have been looking for in your life. Maybe it's a man, maybe it's a career, maybe it's a startling star-striking job. But my God, Jesus Christ Our Lord and Personal Savior, The Blood He is still searching for you. Will you let Him find you today, you let a man find you once ..hey if you will join me my beloved in this prayer.

I WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND THE INVITATION TO YOU TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH AS LORD AND PERSONAL SAVIOUR AND TO RECOMMIT TO HIM OF YOU ARE FAR

LORD JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH I ACCEPT YOU INTO MY HEART SOUL SPIRIT BODY AND MIND TODAY. I ACCEPT YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH AS MY LORD AND PERSONAL SAVIOR. I BELIEVE THAT YOU DIED FOR MY SINS AND YOUR BLOOD HAS PAID AND WASHED SHED TO REDEEM ME OF MY INIQUITIES. FROM TODAY ON WARD I AM NO LONGER THE SAME I AM NOW A CHILD OF GOD. I AM FREE IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH. AMEN

GOD BLESS YOU AND WELCOME HOME ❤️

My life a dichotomy

My name is Lindokuhle Bhembe and if this was a support group I would confess that I am a certified hider. I have been hiding and running away from social media and away from the eyes of people my whole life. But Ta-da! Like Moses in the Bible God said go back to the place you are running away from. You may not really care but the truth is I quit social media in 2016, my final year of university. I was running from the pressures of fitting in and feeling like my life is not moving. Now reflecting I believe it was a divine strategy from God.

Well this is basically where will literally explore my daily happenings and struggles and what God says about them. You see brothers and sisters. This walk with God is not an easy journey. You see my life is a dichotomy? why a dichotomy (not that you are asking). But I will share with you anyway.On the one hand I am hopeless romantic on the other hand I am a 20-something year old almost gripping onto the freedom that comes with singleness. On one hand I love #childfree on the other hand when I see a mommy and daughter duo my heart melts. On the one hand I wish the hip-hop artist that I like was saved on the other hand I understand to honour God with what comes out of our tongue.On one hand I absolutely love a panama-hat I like to look like I am in the band with Pastor Travis Greene. And if it was by me I would have played the keyboard/ church organ or been the girl on drums and tour the world. So instead I like to draw fashion inspo from them (gosh so cool). And on the other hand social media says out yourself and package yourself into a perfect little image. But God says be yourself. And I am just a barefoot walking_socially awkward weirdo. I feel like curling up during holiday seasons I just need the Grace of God each December yet I somehow I love the concept of vlogging and speaking to strangers about your daily life. (which I still think Peter and the other brothers are quite amazed by when they look at us from heaven). I love Nollywood films( or maybe certain actresses and actors lol) …just putting it out there. And on the other side of the dichotomy is to remind myself to stay in my lane. I am born right between millennial and Gen-Z and sometimes the struggle is where do I fit in and who do I identify with…its a lot.

But you see God has something and offers something in His Word about all of this…so there is it… lets see what God may have to say about our dichotomies…in Jesus Christ Mighty Name. The only thing we are serious about at Coffee Table Evangelism is God

The dichotomy: money issues

Ok so by now you know that the Dichotomy is just general life struggles or nuances that I encounter on a daily basis (or maybe you don't it's ok too). So this week I was in a bit of a dichotomy. It's becoming a little bit cold and your girl is does not have enough clothes. So you know in true Holy Spirit fashion the Lord led me to seek for His will  on this particular aspect of life.This is truly God who led me to ask ‘Lord how can I steward Your resources better as the year ends’ not that I am that holy or righteous it's just God I give Him all the credit. Have you ever prayed or been led to pray but like you are not ready or willing to hear the answer. Kind of like when you ask God…about that cute yellow guy on your DM’s “Lord is he finally the one’? And you open one eye and cross your fingers and hope that God doesn't say anything so you can continue on your less than ‘heaven approved’ escapades (mmmmmhhhhm). Truly deep down you know the answer. ( My mini mission besides encouraging you to take small beginnings…is to always nudge you on those wrong relationships that are not from God…because I know a little too well). If you text that guy just imagine my eyes side-eyeing you and my lips pursed mmhhhhhhm. 

I want to digress by saying this. This is not a get straight to the point platform. This is coffee Table Evangelism and here we put seriousness down and explore God on all areas of life.(Pulls in my breath and smacks lips) 

SO…While also eyeing more pricey things at a particular shop. Not because of anything….but let's just say going cheap has its costs in the long run. So as I was praying “Lord grant me the Grace to be a more responsible steward in Your Kingdom”. I felt a tug in my heart say buy the winter jerseys online (on SHEIN ok ..it's SHEIN). So I was like in my heart no Lord.  Also let's be honest those name brands make you feel good sometimes, full transparency people. Full transparency.

So God reminded me of His Word in the book of 

Acts 5:29 

29 But Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than any human authority.

So there is it is my brothers and sisters. With money issues who will You obey ? God or men? God's authority/ divine authority or human authority?(you are men as well). 

QUESTION OF THE WEEK : WOULD YOU RATHER BUY ONCE CHEAP OR WOULD YOU RATHER BUY ONCE EXPENSIVE? I want to encourage you in the festive season when men and manly traditions seek to reign. May the Sovereignty of God and His voice continue to reign on all areas and affairs of our lives. Happy Thanksgiving, Happy New Year and Merry Christmas.  

I WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND THE INVITATION TO YOU TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH AS LORD AND PERSONAL SAVIOR AND TO RECOMMIT TO HIM OF YOU ARE FAR

LORD JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH I ACCEPT YOU INTO MY HEART SOUL SPIRIT BODY AND MOND TODAY. I ACCEPT YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH AS MY LORD AND PERSONAL SAVIOUR. I BELIEVE THAT YOU DIED FOR MY SINS AND YOUR BLOOD HAS PAID AND WASHED SHED TO REEDEEM ME OF MY INIQUITIES. FROM TODAY ONWARDS I AM NO LONGER THE SAME I AM NOW A CHILD OF GOD. I AM FREE IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH. AMEN
