Going Deeper......

Home of Mildred Mkwananzi

We had an awesome service today at Mildred Mkwananzi’s home. Mildred is one of our faithful ‘older’ ladies from Crossroads. She hadn’t been able to come to church at Emsumeni Business Centre, so we took church to her home. It was wonderful having people from Crossroads, Silozwe, Sipunduli and Brethren in Christ. 

Stephen Manhanga, Elder at Crossroads Community Church, shared a word from Luke 5:1 – 11 – The need to go deeper:

We need to go deeper mentally – He encouraged people to overcome mental failure and believe that the work they are doing will come to pass. Peter had been out fishing all night and caught nothing. One can only imagine what was going through his mind when Jesus said go into the deep water and cast your net on the other side.

Stephen Manhanga sharing God's Word

We need to go deeper physically – When we have had a mental breakthrough, we can apply ourselves physically. Peter had to put the net down physically. When he did that, he saw the fruits. They caught an abundance of fish.

We need to go deeper spiritually – Jesus told him that he would be a fisher of men. When they had come back, Peter left everything and followed Jesus. Stephen encouraged us to go out and share the word of God with others.
