A KIND OF FASTING

Isaiah 58 : 6 "Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?"

-To be wicked entails one being morally very bad, very cruel, mischievously malicious, and capable of causing harm, and distress.
-Our society is now littered with such characters who are dead to conscience, where r**e, murder, neglect and abuse have taken the center stage.
-Out of this pressure have been created drug abusers and psychopaths.
-Psychopaths are described as persons with personality disorders. They don't feel for others, at all.
-They are deceitful, always coercing others inorder get what they want.
-They act on impulse without considering consequences.
-They engage in aggressive or violent behavior.
-They can be very charismatic in outward look, while inwardly hiding underlying issues.
-Now God is looking for people who can stand in the gap to rid society of this social menace.
-To God such a person has offered to Him a kind of special prayer equivalent to fasting

Verse 7; "Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?"
-God is equally happy with them that house and share their food with the less privileged and clothe the naked.
-To God this gesture is synonymous to fasting!

-Once you have done this God will cause light to break forth in your life, and where there is light there is life. -Your health shall spring up. This is a kind of healing by giving!
Verse 8 "Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy reward!"
-An opportunity to give is an opportunity to be blessed causing you to become righteous!

God's Set Up To Shape Up Orphans

To be an orphan is not a disability. It's God set up for a show up of His ways that are not human ways. God's set up to end up with a list of those who are for Him, and the reverse.
It's God's set up to trap up those who fake up sympathy, speaking from their mouths when their hearts are telling lies. It's God's set up to level up the orphan with the rest, in His own peculiar way. His set up to make up for what they need. His set up to make them live wires, to tame the shrews who mistake orphahood with a resource base for their tools of manipulation, only to be blast heavily by the heaveniles! It's God's set up to shape up society, strategically aligning 'Angels Of Hope' whom He described as His 'hands and feet'. I mean those who give their lives in one way or another to ease the burden on the orphan's shoulder. It's God's set up to wake up society to the realisation that, though lifestyles are not the same, but in God's files the end is the same! Better for the rich and famous care to share with the weak and less favoured and find purpose for their life! It's God's set up to net up birds of a feather, who probably never knew each other. For or against this same cause, 'Orphans In Need.' the world needs to know where you stand!
Awesome is God's set up to end up with all this revealed!
The God of orphans and widows is saying in Isiah 58:6 "Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?"
7 "Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?"

How Can Orphans And Vulnerable Children Cope In Today's Society?

Today's society has a lot of new information available on internet and other social groupings in our localities. Such being the case, it has become necessary to have local authorities and civic groups to look into what's being churned into the populace in general, and children and youths in particular, as some of the information is not suitable for our future parents and leaders. If unchecked, globalisation and free access to information is gradually coming up with a breed of youngsters suffering from acute identity crisis.

The situation tends to be worse on orphans and other vulnerable children, who are likely learn the wrong things if unguided.
Orphaned children, and some in broken homes or those left in the care of relatives while the parents are in diaspora, or some simply from quarrelsome homes can be silently grieving for long ending up falling for anything that provides temporary solace. In most cases they fall into drugs and substance abuse and forming gangs that can be a menace to society.

This scenario in society calls for intervention measures to help the victims be focused and committed to being loyal beneficial members of their country by way of
offering them psycho-social support and life skills. The exercise provides emotional, social, and psychological assistance to help them cope with challenges and build resilience.
In giving emotional support the encumbents must feel they have a safe, nurturing environment where they feel comforted, listened to, and their ideas are validated.
They should get both individual and group counseling as situations permit to help them process their emotions, develop coping strategies, and build high self-esteem.
This in a way is the social connection extending into friendships, and community engagement, it reduces feelings of isolation and loneliness.

Life skills training on the other hand is essential for it exposes them to skills, in problem-solving, decision-making, and communication. That way the children develop ability to navigate challenges.
In the process the participants come to acknowledge the impact of trauma on their lives and behavior, then endeavour to create a safe and supportive environment.

By the end of each camp the campers must have improved emotionally, now with reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression.
They should have developed coping strategies, resilience as they navigate challenges and adversity.
They also should be gradually developing positive relationships, social skills, and community connections.

It the is expected of the campers to confidently manage their emotions and healthy coping mechanisms, adopting a notion of high self esteem.
By the time they leave the campsite the children must have formed positive relationships with peers, caregivers, and community members!

It is the duty of the Superintendent and the social welfare officer/probation officer to register a child placed in their care as soon as that child’s placement papers have been completed.
Those children orphaned by the death of their parents are mostly left in the care of relatives. These relatives have a duty to make sure these children are raised as a family with family values. It is also their duty to register the children for birth certificates and help them to get identity documents. The Births and Deaths Registration Act (Chapter 5.02) gives traditional leaders and neighbours the duty to register orphans that are born within their areas. This is so that those with child-headed families can access birth certificates and, therefore, have identity.
Identity is what differentiates humans from animals and God paired both the first humans and animals thereby creating a family. Having His son born in a family stressed the fact people need family grounding. As we prepare to celebrate International Family Day let us remember those orphans without families and those in our families who have no identity documents. Lets help them get the necessary documents so that they may have a sense of belonging and identity.

THE FAMILY AND ORPHANS
IT IS every Christian’s belief that Jesus is the son of God the Father, but as we all know those around Jesus believed that he was the son of Joseph the carpenter. Although Jesus is the son of God, Mary would not have been able to raise him without an earthly father, hence the inclusion of Joseph in the equation. The purpose of this was so that Jesus could belong as He grew up until such time he would take up the work He had been assigned.
Today’s perception of the family is not very different from that of the time of Jesus although people are more open-minded about single parents. But in today’s world children without parents have a tough time surviving. It may not have been heard of during the early times, that some parents abandon their children but as civilisation took over the world has seen the emergence and development of orphanages throughout. Initially, orphanages were established to care for children that had lost their parents during the war but lately this has changed. Children are either abandoned or have lost their parents through sickness and so become orphans. In Zimbabwe there are many orphanages, some private and others run by the government. The aim being that of giving the child the grounding they need.
However, these children go through a lot of problems, the root cause being that they do not have family and, therefore, no identity. This is compounded by the fact that the majority of them do not have birth certificates. It is every human being’s wish to belong and it is the duty of those put in charge of these children to make their lives as bearable as possible. Nevertheless, these children grow up to be adults without identity because those responsible for them did not get them birth certificates. Orphanages are registered with the Ministry of Social Welfare. (To be continued)

The Lord God of all creation has the whole world in His hands. Yes death can rob the young of their parents. That's when He comes in to be the one in charge of orphans and widows. As Tsitsi Orphans and Vulnerable Children's Camp, we are just tools in His hand to be used at His will. The world is ailing under the heavy yoke of orphaned and vulnerable children and God is saying who shall I send? Let's pray for the heart and ability to tolerate and be there for children who are looking for a shoulder to lean on. When we take care of God's assignments, He will take care of our businesses in return.
The Bible emphasizes God's concern for orphans and His expectation for His people to care for them.
Psalm 68:5 echoes the fact that God is, "a Father to the fatherless, and Defender of widows."
Deuteronomy 10:18-19 is highlighting God's love for the vulnerable, including orphans, and commands His people to love and care for them. His people are you and me!
God has always been co-opting us to care for orphans.
James 1:27 Defines pure and faultless religion as one caring for orphans and widows in their distress.
Psalm 82:3-4 Calls on God's people to "defend the weak and the fatherless" and to "uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed."
As God's people we have to take care of orphans with our substance, be we rich or poor. It's the attitude of the heart that God values.
Job 29:12-13 mentions Job's care for orphans, thereby highlighting his righteousness and compassion.
When Jesus commanded saying "Go yea therefore----" Where are you fitting in the great commission? May God help us to accomplish!

If God cares for the flowers that bloom, if God cares for the birds that sing, If God cares for the rivers that flow I know He will care for the children like these two and more who lost their parents in the road traffic accident at the Dzivarasekwa turn off popularly known as pamagetsi about two months ago. They need food and all the necessities for their daily upkeep. Jesus is counting on us to stand in the gap, no wonder TOVCC is calling upon those who find it in their hearts to lend a helping hand. Hats of to the uncle and his wife who have taken in the children, but still would need our prayers, counselling, and material support to give the children a decent life. God the Source of life is able and we are His resources to accomplish His mission and vision on humanity.

Ezekiel 34 :2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of today, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of today, that do feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks?
7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.

Food for thought for every Parent, Pastor, Teacher, Bishop, Apostle, Prophet, President, Minister, Care-giver etc, anyone who has taken responsibility to oversee the welfare of the defenseless of our society either by choice or by calling!
God is watching and is not amused! Blessed are they that are standing honestly, religiously doing their best to the vulnerable, knowing fully well that God will do the rest.

SEEK TO SERVE OTHERS.

Let's translate our faith into action and render our services to orphans and vulnerable children. (James 2:14-26)
The Bible taught that we should remember the orphans and widows and that is love into action, like Christ served out of deep love for the needy. By seeking opportunities to serve those in need, we demonstrate and grow our spirituality.
Here are ways you can serve others:

Pay attention to the needy around you especially the orphans and vulnerable children, and look for ways to help them.
-Be a volunteer at a local charity.
-Visit them when you can, or when they are in camp.
-Be generous with your time, talents and resources.
-Ask God to show you how you can bless the children and show the love of Christ.
This way we are automatically building lasting relationships with those we serve and others we are serving together with. Note that relationships can be more precious that gold!
May God strengthen our faith and knowledge of Him and help us to witness to our faith in action by being charitable to the needy.
Be assured, the Lord will establish something greater in and through you!
Please get in touch so that we do this together!
