5. Marriage Counseling Ministry |
|
Defending Home - the Foundation of the Nation - DH-FN, is a
Monte Christo Local Church Marriage Counseling Ministry. And
all of our agencies (including marriage counseling) are face
to face mission and heart to heart ministries, rather than
head to head manipulations. Our Bible based teachings
(including messages for marriage counseling) are sometimes
broadcasted in Channel 7 Christian Radio twice a week. Such
a ministry is there to defend a home (not a house, but a
home) which is the Foundation of the Nation. In view of the
fact that God had spoken, and the Bible had sealed that with
this inscription; “what therefore God hath joined together,
let not man put asunder:” we make sure that God’s plan for
marriage is safeguarded, and that, every Namibian is kept
accountable before God. We see to it that, our minds are
rekindled with God’s word, and hearts are well-armed with
the life of faith rooted, grounded, and established in the
great and global God.
|
| |
|
As stated earlier, all these ministries are but meant to
keep the Namibian Nation accountable to our holy,
transcended and the only wise God. All of us must tremble
before his holy Word. We believe - as a Local Church that,
every nation need its own
Jehoiada… to maintain its young kings like Joash… to mold
its remnant like that of Judah, and shape its generation
like that of Jerusalem… see 2Chronicles 22:1fvs and
23:1—24:1-3, 15-22 (ESV). We are called to keep each other
accountable for God’s glory and godly nations, and to
maintain local visions and global mission. Ours must be a
call to mold Christ’s people, and an assignment to shape an
authentic generation for God. We need a people in this World
that have a high view of God. Our home, church, and our
state in and around Namibia, Africa and the World at large
need a people who have a
workable worldview: we need
people who have |
|
*
A
high view of God’s Sovereignty over the whole Creation.
|
|
*
A high view of Christ’s Supremacy over the entire Church,
and |
|
*
A high view of the Holy Spirit’s Saving Power and Securing
Presence over the precious Souls of the elect. |
|
|
|
We need age bands that have |
|
*
A high view of a Local Evangelical Vision for Global
Reformed Mission. |
|
*
A high view of Christian Ministries, and |
|
*
A high view of Sola 5 (Sola Scriptura, Sola Gratia, Sola
Christus, Sola Fide, and Sola Deo Gloria) which means;
Scripture Alone, Grace Alone, Christ Alone, Faith Alone and
to God Alone be the Glory. |
| |
|
We need a generation that has a Christian Worldview, in a
Christ-centered Perspective, I mean a people who have |
|
*
A biblical concept of God’s main Intention for creating men
in his image. |
|
*
A biblical concept of Christ’s unique Plan for dying to save
the elect, and |
|
*
A biblical concept of the Holy Spirit’s sole Mission as
Life-giving Source. |
|
|
|
We need a body of believers who maintains |
|
*
A workable concept of life, I mean life of faith - lived
through God’s Promises and sustained by God’s Power. |
|
*
A workable concept of the Church - both visible and
invisible, and |
|
*
A workable concept of a man - a spirit-man who lives in two
physical houses called male house and female house. |
|
|
|
We need age bands that have |
|
* A God-centered concept of marriage - union between a
husband and a wife –monogamy, not polygamy. |
|
* A Christ-cored concept of handling sex within
marriage, and a high view of having children, rising /
bringing them up in the fear of God biblically, and |
|
* A Spirit-cordial concept of having a local vision in
this life, seeing the need for global mission, and savoring
the God who glory in visions, and mission. |
|
|
|
We pray for a generation that appreciates the foundation
already laid, a body of people that refuse to depart from
what is already rightly laid, but build on its unshakable
and indisputable truth, reinforcing, deepening and extending
its ruling paradigm. Of course, we need age band that have |
|
* A biblical concept of an authentic worship of a
genuine God - people who are determined to maintain God’s
glory as the main center of their attraction. Yes we need a
people who have |
|
* A God-entered, a Christ-focused and a Spirit-filled
concept of confessions, adoration, thanksgiving, petitions
and intercessions. I mean who can initiate Robert Murray
McCheyne in what he had said: “I ought not to omit any of
the parts of prayer – confession, adoration, thanksgiving,
petition and intercession.” He went on to say: “There is a
fearful tendency to omit confession proceeding from the low
views of God and his law, slight views of my heart, and the
sin of my past life. This must be resisted. There is a
constant tendency to omit adoration, when I forget to whom I
am speaking, when I rush heedlessly into the presence of
Jehovah, without thought of his awful name and nature. When
I have little eye-sight for his glory, and little admiration
of his wonders. I have the native tendency of the heart to
omit giving thanks, and yet it is specially commanded. Often
when the heart is dead to the salvation of others, I omit
intercession, and yet it especially is the spirit of the
great Advocate who has the name of Israel on his heat.” we
need a people who have |
|
* A workable concept of sin –forgivable and
unforgivable. I mean a people who knew that we are saved
from the power, the pollution and the practice of sin, but
we are not free from the presences of sin. Being a good and
godly Christian does not mean that, you will no longer
hearing rapes, imprisonment, killings or seeing people
fighting, swearing, committing suicides etc. Though the
presence of sin is a reality in this life, we need people
who knew that, true Christians are men and women who are
saved from the slavery of |
|
* Self into service |
|
* Sin into sanctification, and freed from the slavery
of |
|
* Satan into savioring God. |

with prayers, asking God to place them in a right church
where they can offer their rightful and helpful services for
God’s glory and people’s salvation, as she did to EBC -
Monte Christo. |

Ministries.
