The weekend message for the beloved children of God - Honour !

Unity we stand together and give honor to South Africa's late President Nelson Mandela. We are told by God to give honour to whom honour is due. Read Romans 13:7, Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. The Bible gives us a command to honor one another.We give honour to President Nelson Mandela the most inspiring leader of the 20th century. His successful life and leadership, His ability to motivate millions with his words. May His soul rest in peace, He has done His mission. His words to leaders; “It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.” Nelson Mandela,Inspirational Words of Truth.

Here is a collection of quotes that personify his spirit: 1) "Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe is sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps on trying, one armed with the hope that he will rise even in the end." 2) "Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do." 3)" Real leaders must be ready to sacrifice all for the freedom of their people." 4)"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear." 5) "A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination."

Muhammad Ali's poignant statement on former South African President Nelson Mandela, who died Thursday at the age of 95: "I am deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Mandela. His was a life filled with purpose and hope; hope for himself, his country and the world. He inspired others to reach for what appeared to be impossible and moved them to break through the barriers that held them hostage mentally, physically, socially and economically. He made us realize, we are our brothers' keeper and that our brothers come in all colors. What I will remember most about Mr.Mandela is that he was a man whose heart, soul and spirit could not be contained or restrained by racial and economic injustices, metal bars or the burden of hate and revenge. He taught us forgiveness on a grand scale. His was a spirit born free, destined to soar above the rainbows. Today his spirit is soaring through the heavens. He is now forever free."

" We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.” I know many of you have heard United we stand, divided we fall. This adage has been with us since generations after generations. Understand in union there is strength.Read Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. How good and pleasant it is when brothers and sisters dwell in unity. Read Psalm 133:1, Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

Genuine Brotherhood: "Let the strivings of us all prove Martin Luther King Jr. to have been correct, when he said that humanity can no longer be tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war. Let the efforts of us all prove that he was not a mere dreamer when he spoke of the beauty of genuine brotherhood and peace being more precious than diamonds or silver or gold. Let a new age dawn."
