TRAIN ACCIDENT MARIANHILL - PAULOS NENE - Faithful and most humble colleague & friend for +-10 years

 Jesus is alive and well

Here is the scenario: More evidence of Jesus involved in our day to day affairs.

Paulos Nene and I worked together for around 9 to 10 years at Natal Die Casting in Pinetown.

Paulos was part of the technical team in the Aluminium Die Casting foundry. He never missed a beat. He was an incredible gentleman in that he was polite, intelligent, self-motivated and hard working. Paulos NEVER MISSED WORK ....NEVER   He was seriously loyal and faithful to the company. Paulos was a most wonderful Christian and Pastor of a Church in the Marian hill area, Kwazulu Natal, South Africa.

One morning we arrived at work having heard on the radio that there was a horrific train accident on the main trainline , in the Marian hill area. Our BIGGEST concern was that Paulos did not arrive at work that day!! As already mention, Paulos NEVER missed work. He was ALWAYS early and at work, never sick.

We could not find out much info, this being back around 1988 or so. 


The next day we get to work and there is "Mfundis" (Pastor) Paulos happily carrying out his tasks in the aluminium Die Casting foundry.

We asked Paulos if he was in the train when it derailed the day before and he replied no he was not. 

He explained that he should have been on that train BUT !!!

For some strange reason HE OVERSLEPT and missed the train that day !!!!!

    How incredible is our God !!!  Paulos, Mr loyal, Mr early Bird, Mr Diligent happened to  OVERSLEEP !!!  and missed a horrific train accident. 

    God has plans and purposes for our lives. AMEN

SURPRISE INCREASE

God is faithful So here is the short version of what happened Please note upfront: These stories are shared not to impress anyone, but rather to impress upon every one that Almighty God is alive and well One Sunday evening I was watching a Joyce Meyer message. I t was all about her mission work and the one orphanage here in Southern Africa. I felt led in my spirit man to set up a 1 year stop order of R200pm into that orphanage.  I jumped online and did exactly that.  The next day, Monday morning, my immediate manager walks into my office and sits down. He says hey Gav, I have noticed you are always available for call outs etc. I am increasing your salary by R2000 pm How great is our God (Please consider keeping this Blog active during these cataclysmic times of mudslides, family deaths, multiple spiritual attacks, and major loss of income.   paypal.me/gavinstone8  OR Nedbank, cheque, 1192643046, bcode 198765  sincerely appreciated)

"SIR ! I had a dream Kairos is the name"

Duplicate post, but we'll worth the read of what the Spirit of God is doing 😀👍🏽 During my previous 8-year teaching stint at a local high school a bunch of naturally musically talented students started a band. I occupied a large classroom at the very far end of the school property. Matthew, Gareth, Dylan, Wesley to name a few from memory. Long story short, they jammed very very well together making their own songs etc. The call for a name for the band came and we all had to think about it. Being Christ focused we prayed. A few days later l was at a Sunday night preach at the mushroom 🍄 farm, aka Hillcrest Christian fellowship, aka Cityhill 😀 A guest speaker, Greg Haswell spoke on "Kairos times", special moments in time with God. It was revelation knowledge on steroids for me...  I felt very very strongly in my heart that the band's name is to be "Kairos" .  Come Monday morning back at school Wesley rushes into the classroom and says ,"sir sir l had

GROWLING LIKE A DOG - Mozam

 Capturing Mission moments with Yeshua Whilst on mission near the border of Mozambique and Swaziland, a small group of us took to riding mountain bikes along well worn paths between distant hut clusters.  On one occasion a local young lady stopped to chat with us. We mentioned we were believers in Jesus and we would love to pray with local people who may be in need of prayer. She spoke Portuguese and luckily one of the School students with us was proficient in the language.  She asked us to please follow her to her dwelling place. She said two people needed  God's healing desperately.  As we came near her home, we stopped at her request at a hut alongside the path. To our shock and horror there was an elderly lady on her hands and knees, rocking backwards and forwards, whilst foaming at her mouth 😳 The young lady told us it was her mother. She was deaf and dumb. We jumped off our bikes and slowly approached this precious lady. We sat next to her and just waited upon the Spirit of
