From the Principle's Desk:

HE IS NOT HERE, FOR HE IS RISEN



It is the time of commemorating Jesus’ crucifixion approaches, we think

about the death and resurrection of Jesus. The purpose of his life was to

offer himself as a sacrifice for the sins of mankind. The Bible says that

Jesus became sin for us so that we could be forgiven and found righteous

in God’s sight (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus was so certain of his purpose that

he predicted when and how he would die (Matthew 26:2).

As believers and followers of Jesus, we ask ourselves, what is our

purpose? Some would answer that it is to love God while others might say

that it is to serve him. The Westminster Shorter Catechism states that

man’s chief purpose is to glorify God and enjoy him forever. While

considering these ideas, Hebrews 12:2 came to mind: “Let us fix our eyes

on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, who for the joy set before

him, endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand

of the throne of God.” (NIV) Jesus looked beyond the suffering, shame and

death he knew was to come and focused on the joy that would be.

What is this joy that so motivated him? The Bible says that there is great

joy in heaven whenever a sinner repents (Luke 15:10). Likewise, the Lord

rewards good works and there is joy in hearing him say, “Well done good

and faithful servant.” Therefore, Jesus anticipated the joy that would

happen when each person would repent and be saved. He also looked

forward to the joy that would result from each good work done by

believers in obedience and motivated by love. The Bible says that we love

God because he first loved us (1 John 4:19). Ephesians 2:1‐10 tells us that

by nature we are rebellious towards God and are born spiritually dead. It

is by his love and grace that he brings us to faith and reconciliation. God

has even planned our good works (Ephesians 2:10)!

What then is our purpose? We can give him joy! What a wonderful God we have who honors sinners like us by

giving us the ability to give him pleasure! He rejoices and experiences joy as we respond to him in repentance,

love and good works that bring him glory! Give Jesus the gift of joy for he is looking forward to it!

Doxa Deo Edendale School

Inauguration of Grade R-3 Hostel



Coen Cloete, the school principle, and Klass Mashabela, the head of the hostel, inaugurated the Foundation Phase Hostel at Doxa Deo Edendale Independent on 12 April 2012.

The construction of this hostel was made possible with the generous assistance from the Maximum Profit Recovery.

The president of organisation couldn’t be present at the inaugural ceremony, but a second event will be held for the thanks giving.

Coen Cloete, in his welcome address thanked Maximum Profit Recovery for the financial support for the construction of the hostel. The ground workers and farm manager, Schalk Coetzee were also praised for their involvement and completion of the successful project.





The project is an initiative of Miss Ilonka Jonker, the assistant  head of the hostel. She was the guiding force to have the hostel build. Mr Cloete also extended his appreciation to her dedication to the project. Edendale would like to thank Marone Ackermann for mediating the processes between the school and Maximum Profit Recovery.  Great appreciation is also extended to Rene Grobler who was the contractor.


Lastly, Mrs Maphefo Makgoba was announced as the hostel guardian. She was jubilant and eager for the future role of overseeing operations and care of the children. We look forward to the hosting of many children at the Foundation Phase Hostel in time to come!

FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK

SPIRITAUL FORMATION



Biblical Principles of Stewardship

  1. God, the creator (Genesis 1) and sustainer of all things (Colossians 1:17) and the one “who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine” (Ephesians 3:20, NIV), is a God of infinite abundance (Psalm 50:10–11) and grace (2 Corinthians 9:8).2
  2. Acknowledging the primacy of the gospel (Romans 1:16) as their chief treasure (Matthew 13:44), Christians are called to lives of stewardship, as managers of all that God has entrusted to them (1 Corinthians 4:1–2).3
  3. A Christian’s attitude toward possessions on the earth is important to God (Matthew 6:24), and there is a vital link between how believers utilize earthly possessions (as investments in God’s kingdom) and the eternal rewards that believers receive (Matthew 19:27–30).4
  4. God entrusts possessions to Christians and holds them accountable for their use, as a tool to grow God’s eternal kingdom, as a test of the believers’ faithfulness to God, and as a trademark that their lives reflect Christ’s values (Luke 16:1–9).5
  5. From God’s abounding grace, giving by Christians reflects their gratitude for what God has provided and involves growing in an intimate faith relationship with Christ as Lord of their lives (Mark 12:41–44).6
  6. Because giving is a worshipful, obedient act of returning to God from what has been provided (Romans 12:1–2), Christian fund-raisers should hold a conviction that, in partnership with the church, they have an important role in the spiritual maturation of believers (James 3:1).7
  7. The primary role of Christian fund-raisers is to advance and facilitate believers’ faith in and worship of God through a Christ-centered understanding of stewardship that is solidly grounded in Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16).8
  8. Recognizing that it is the work of the Holy Spirit (often in partnership with fund-raising techniques), who prompts Christians to give (John 15:4–5, Isaiah 55:8–11), fund-raisers and organizations must never manipulate or violate their sacred trust with ministry partners.9
  9. An eternal, God-centered worldview promotes cooperation, rather than competition, among organizations, and places the givers’ relationships with God above the ministry’s agenda
    (2 Corinthians 4:16–18).10
  10. In our materialistic, self-centered culture, Christian leaders should acknowledge that there is a great deal of unclear thinking about possessions, even among believers, and that an eternal kingdom perspective will often seem like foolish nonsense (1 Corinthians 2:14) to those who rely on earthly kingdom worldview techniques (1 Corinthians 2:1–5).11



When these principles are implemented—principles that rely on God’s way of changing hearts more than on human methods—the resulting joy-filled generosity of believers will fully fund God’s work here on the earth (Exodus 36:6–7).12
