Each of us is called to be a shepherd of those whom the Lord has put within our circle of care. Tend the flock of God that is in your charge, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion but willingly, as God would have you do it. Be examples to the flock (1 Peter 5:2-3).

In TOD, there are a number of Care Groups and other operating groups eg Levites Worship Team, the Dancers, the Ushers Team, the TOD Children Food, the Toddler Group, the Intercessors, the Sales Counter Team, Children Church Teachers, the Thursday Badmin-ton, the Fishermen etc. If you need some help or have a pastoral need or need encouragement, the place to start is to join these groups and receive pastoral care. Better still, give pastoral care.

COMING EVENTS

“Pastoral Care? I really don’t know

what it means, much less do it! And I am not a pastor”, a church member was overheard speaking in frustration. This is not an uncommon response as many of us think that pastoral care is in the ministry domain of a pastor and only pastors “do” pastoral care. The truth is far from this.Jesus said in John 13:34-35, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Loving is caring, someone said. And the biblical model for pastoral care is simply to “care for one another”. It is as simple as that. God has placed us into a church family for a reason - so that we can share His love and care with each other. This is the pattern that we see in the early church in the book of Acts 4:32-34 where everyone cared and shared as any had need. Isn’t It therefore any wonder that in the New Testament, there are 36 recorded instances of “one another”. Here are some of them:-

PASTORAL CARE…OF ONE ANOTHER

INSIDE THIS ISSUE

> Pastoral Care… Of One Another > Becoming More Like Jesus

> Our Beginnings > What We Believe > Visitors & Care Groups

“As far as it depends on you, live at peace with all”. Paul encourages us in Romans 12:18. David in the Old Testament faced this test. He said in Psalms 120:7 “I am all for peace but when I speak, they are for war”.

In 1 Samuel 25, David almost killed Nabal who was a mean and ill-natured man that no one could speak peaceably with him. It was only through the intervention of Abigail, Nabal’s wife, that David’s anger was abated. If not, he would have avenged himself.

When you walk in accordance with God’s laws, He will vindicate you. Vindicate means to clear from an accusation, blame, to defend you, to justify for you, to speak and work for you and on your behalf.

If a man’s ways pleases the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. So on your side, as far as it depends on you, be at peace, make for peace, stretch out your hands for peace and reconciliation and the Lord will be your vindicator and defend you.

What if the other person continues to be angry with you? Leave him alone; you have done your part to be peaceful. Sleep well; if there is any lost sleep, it will be the other person’s, not yours.

May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Excerpts from “The Davidic Generation” by David Swan

1987 WAS A SPIRITUAL MILESTONE IN MY WALK WITH THE LORD. IT WAS A YEAR FILLED WITH DIVINE VISITATIONS AND OUTPOURINGS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BOTH UPON MY LIFE AND UPON THE CHURCH MEMBERS.

During such periods of seeking the Lord, it was my habit of sleeping downstairs in the living room so as not to disturb the rest of the family when I was called to prayer at odd hours. On one such night, I was awakened by a strong presence of God in the living room. Then I heard an audible voice speaking into my right ear, “Tabernacle of David! Tabernacle of David!” It was a voice of great clarity and unusual authority. When He spoke, the voice penetrated and reverberated within my whole being. It was about 3.30 in the morning.

I knew that the Lord had given me the new name for the church. I knew it held the key to the ministry and destiny of the church. The Bible speaks of God restor-ing the Tabernacle of David in the last days (Acts 15:16). I believe that this also refers to the restoration of Davidic worship.

The Bible to

be divinely

inspired,

infallible,

authoritative Word of God

There is one God, eternally existent as God the Father,

God the Son and God the Holy Spirit

In the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His

sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning

death through the sacrifice of His blood, and His

bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand

of the Father, and in His personal return in power and

glory

In the present day ministry of the Holy Spirit including

signs and wonders, miracles and spiritual gifts

In the five-fold ministry gifts of the Apostle, the

Prophet, the Evangelist, the Pastor and the Teacher

In the resurrection of the dead, saved and unsaved.

The saved to the resurrection of life and the final

judgment between the righteous and unrighteous

In the Great Commission of the church to go into all

the world and make disciples of all nations

In the last days’ revival that will shake every nation

with the revival power of God and result in multitudes

being swept into the Kingdom of God
