Inside Story: No. 1 ~ God First
No. 1: God First!
By Ocrhain Matengu
Modesty Kakula, a businessman in Namibia, has an unusual way of sharing Jesus. Slogans painted on his three cars declare, “No. 1: God First.”

Modesty’s novel approach to mission outreach began when his first employer offered to sell him a car for 50,000 Namibian dollars (U.S.$4,000) in the town of Katima Mulilo. Modesty, two years out of high school and newly married, worked hard and managed to pay off all but 5,000 Namibian dollars ($400) in four months. Then his employer changed his mind and priced the car at 60,000 Namibian dollars. “Why are you changing the price just now when I’m about to finish paying for it?” Modesty asked.
A few months later, when Modesty had paid off all but 5,000 Namibian dollars, his employer increased the price to 70,000 Namibian dollars. Modesty tried to pay off the car again and, to his surprise, his employer then accused him of not making any payments. The case ended up in court, and the judge ruled in favor of Modesty. But the employer furiously told the court, “He will only get the car over my dead body.” Modesty’s wife, Rebecca, whispered to her husband and then asked to address the court. Weeping, she said, “Let him keep the car. God will make a way for us.” The employer returned 22,000 Namibian dollars to Modesty and fired him.
At home, Modesty, with no job or income, tearfully poured out his heart to God. As he prayed, he accidentally knocked his Bible to the floor. Picking up the open Bible, Modesty’s eyes fell on Romans 8:28, which says, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (NKJV).
“Wow!” Modesty exclaimed as peace and assurance filled his heart.
The next morning, the phone rang while Modesty was still in bed. An unfamiliar male voice offered to sell him a car for 23,000 Namibian dollars.
Modesty rushed to the man’s house. Sure enough, a car was available for sale. At Modesty’s pleadings, the man lowered the price to 22,500 Namibian dollars, and Modesty borrowed money from his parents to pay the balance.
To testify to everyone about God’s goodness, Modesty immediately painted the slogan, “No. 1: God First” above the rear window. Today, Modesty is an elder and business owner with three cars, each of which have the slogan above the rear window. Wherever his cars go, people point and say, “God first!”

Friday: Further Thought ~ Contrary Passages?
Further Thought: Read Ellen G. White, “A Great Gulf Fixed,” Pages 260-271, in Christ’s Object Lessons; “Calvary,” Pages 749-752, in The Desire of Ages; and “Teachers as Examples of Christian Integrity,” p.504, in Fundamentals of Christian Education.

“In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, Christ shows that in this life men decide their eternal destiny. During probationary time the grace of God is offered to every soul. But if men waste their opportunities in self-pleasing, they cut themselves off from everlasting life. No afterprobation will be granted them. By their own choice they have fixed an impassable gulf between them and their God.” — Ellen G. White, Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 260.
“When those early Christians were exiled to mountains and deserts, when left in dungeons to die with hunger, cold, and torture, when martyrdom seemed the only way out of their distress, they rejoiced that they were counted worthy to suffer for Christ, who was crucified for them. Their worthy example will be a comfort and encouragement to the people of God who will be brought into the time of trouble such as never was.” — Ellen G. White, Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, p. 213.

8.The Spirituality of the Law (What Does Jesus Teach Us?) – Pastor Ted Wilson
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxmrVXguq_0?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-GB&autohide=2&wmode=transparent&w=1280&h=720]
In this episode, Pastor Ted Wilson talks about the spirituality of the law, as part of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount.
People think that spirituality and the law are two separate things. But they blend together perfectly.
Ellen White says, “The law given upon Sinai was the enunciation of the principle of love, a revelation to earth of the law of heaven. It was…spoken by Him through Whose power the hearts of men could be brought into harmony with its principles” (Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, page 46).
Unfortunately, the law is often seen as a list of instructions. But Jesus shows us that spirituality is more than just keeping the letter of the law.
“Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:19-20).
Here, Jesus points out that the law goes deeper than outward appearances. For instance, in the sixth commandment, “you shall not kill,” cultivating hatred and anger is as serious as the act of murder. The same goes in the case of the seventh commandment, “you shall not commit adultery,” for Jesus said, “whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (verse 28).
To keep the commandments of God means being reconciled with our fellow men (verse 24), turning the other cheek (verse 39) when other people mistreat us, and going the second mile (verse 41) even for those who don’t deserve it.
God asks us to do these seemingly impossible things so we can be like Him. “Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect” (verse 48). And it will only be possible with God (Matthew 19:26).
“By His own obedience to the law, Christ testified to its immutable character and proved that through His grace, it could be perfectly obeyed by every son and daughter of Adam…Because the law of the Lord is perfect and therefore changeless, it is impossible for sinful men in themselves to meet the standard of its requirement. This was why Jesus came as our Redeemer. It was His mission, by making men partakers of the divine nature, to bring them into harmony with the principles of the law of heaven” (Ellen White, Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, page 50).
Therefore, let us surrender ourselves to Jesus and have His law written in our hearts so we can be more like Him.

Hearts Full of Gratitude
This Thanksgiving we’re in Israel, and there is so much to be thankful for! Earlier this year, our AWR radio station in Nazareth was inaugurated, and God is using Pastor Wisam Ali in amazing ways as he spearheads this project. We are celebrating Thanksgiving weekend with him and recording a few messages. Pastor Wisam said, “We’re already seeing the results of God’s Spirit at work. Most of the people who have contacted us to learn more about Jesus say they were led by dreams of Jesus calling them!” I will share some of these amazing stories in our December newsletter, so stay tuned! —Duane McKey, President CFPCPDPC2SREXCCK Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76ue4RnCbME
9.CONTRARY PASSAGES – ON DEATH, DYING, AND THE FUTURE HOPE | Pastor Kurt Piesslinger, M.A.
Series ON DEATH, DYING, AND THE FUTURE HOPE with Pastor Kurt Piesslinger, M.A.
9.CONTRARY PASSAGES?
Some Bibleverses seem to be contrary. Is it really so?
Memory Text: John 5:39 – You search the Scriptures for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.
9.1 The rich man and Lazarus
A parable with a special point.
9.2 Today … with Me in paradise
Little things make the difference…
9.3 To depart and be with Christ
What does this Bibletext mean?
9.4 Preaching to the spirits in prison
This Bibletext has provoked strange ideas.
9.5 The souls under the altar
What does this text mean?
9.6 Summary
If you study only superficially you will come to wrong conclusions…
My God bless you today and always.

In What Ways Does Planet Earth Differ From Other Planets?#sermon #shorts
In what ways does planet Earth differ from other planets? This #short clip from the Global Campmeeting sermon, “What Makes Earth So Unique and Special? #Campmeeting” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mz_jW5UC_Ms&list=PL-k2Gb-DBYo9tb9fHW_AxGxJ1R8MpNnpa&index=32 discusses our planet’s uniqueness in comparison to other planets.
