FROM OUR DAILY BREAD, for JUNE, JULY & AUGUST 2004 which admonishes us to:

1. Be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord: Na KA OU Vinaka. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth. James 5:7

2. THE ADAM LEGACY. READ: ROMANS 5:12-21, & By one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous. Romans 5:19

3. Long after man’s first sin, a baby was born who was God incarnate ( JOHN 1:14). God made Christ, “who knew no sin to be sin for us” (2 Corinthian­s 5:21). When we trust Jesus as our Savior, the Holy Spirit creates within us a new desire to do what is pleasing to God the Father. The flesh still has its pull, but the pull of the Spirit is stronger.

In the “first Adam” we are all sinners. But let’s concentrat­e on who we are in the “last Adam “---Dennis Dr Haan

One with Adam are we all, One with Adam in his fall;

But another Adam came---Fallen sinners to reclaim ---D. DE Haan

FROM THE WORD OF GOD, THE BIBLE: READ IT, BELIEVE IT, DO IT.

1. I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my supplicati­ons. Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore will I call upon Him as long as I live.

Au sa taleitaki Jiova, ni sa rogoca na domoqu, na domo ni noqu kerekere. E na Nona sa vakarogoca, au na masuti koya tikoga ena noqu bula taucoko

ME NOMUNI NA KALOU VINAKA KEI NA SAUTU NI KALOU NI ISIRELI KEI VITI
