A Little Giant before God

by Hertz Clyde Dézir


Many people know the marvelous story of David and Goliath -- a tremendous story that clearly testifies the might of God in favor of his chosen people. As a veteran warrior, Goliath had a lot of experience that made him the best intimidator on the enemy’s side. In addition and even more remarkably, the giant was untouchable and invincible by human’s standards.

Obviously the giant threatened the Israelites who were powerless and deeply terrified before him. "On hearing [his] words, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified." (1 Samuel 17:11 -- NIV) Apparently, the Israelites found themselves in a desperate situation -- humanly speaking at least. Despite the terror of the enemy, David said to King Saul '"Let no one lose heart [...]"' And he meant it.
Then David said to Goliath, '"You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty [...] There whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. [...] it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD's [...] (1 Samuel 17:47-47 NIV).

You know the end of the story; the LORD gave victory to his people.

When facing with unbearable trials, don't lose heart even though our natural tendency compels us to do the opposite. In fact, face the trials in the name of the LORD Almighty rather than isolating yourself and leaning on your limited abilities.

As you read these thoughts, take the opportunity you have today to accept Jesus as your personal savior before it's too late.

Lè Bondye Fin Reponn Priyè ...

Hertz Clyde Dézir
Bondye te reponn priyè Ana lè Ana te priye pou mande Bondye yon pitit gason. Sa Bondye te fè pou dam sa a te vle di anpil bagay paske non sèlman l pa t ka fè pitit men matlòt li t ap pede moke l.


Ana pa t engra devan Bondye apre Bondye te fin reponn priyè l, e li pa t bliye ve l te fè a Bondye non plis. Ou konn rès istwa a.

Alò pou manifeste kontantman l, Ana te di kèk bè pawòl pou temwaye sa Bondye te fè pou li. Men ti moso nan sa Ana te di :

Seyè a fè kè m' kontan anpil! Seyè a remoute kouraj mwen. M'ap kenbe tèt ak lènmi yo. Kè m' kontan paske Bondye delivre mwen.

Pa gen Bondye tankou Seyè a. Non, pa gen tankou l'. Pa gen moun ki ka pwoteje tankou Bondye nou an.

Sispann pale avèk lògèy. Pa kite pawòl radiyès soti nan bouch nou. Paske Seyè a se yon Bondye ki konnen tout bagay…

Fanm ki pa t' ka fè pitit la fè pitit sèt fwa. Sa ki te gen anpil pitit la rete san anyen…  (1 Samyèl 2:1-5)

Dapre egzanp Ana bay nan pasaj sa a, lè Bondye fin reponn priyè yon moun, li bon pou moun sa a tounen vin di Bondye mèsi avèk yon kè ranpli ak rekonesans.

Pray! It's Worth it

by Hertz Clyde Dézir

In the introduction of his sermon, Deacon Ahmi Sainvilier linked his message with quality time to support the title of the sermon -- Spend Time with God. However the truth of the matter is oftentimes busyness with work, for instance, gets in the way.


Referring to Mark 1:29 - 34, brother Ahmi explained that Jesus had such a busy schedule. In fact, in the context of this passage, one can notice that immediately after leaving the synagogue, he went on to heal Peter's mother-in-law; then, "... That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed. The whole town gathered at the door..." (v. 32-33 NIV)

Despite his difficult schedule, Jesus made it a priority to pray and would do so at the right time. As brother Ahmi was considering the text of Mark 1:35-39, he put an emphasis on verse 35. "Very early in the morning while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed." (NIV)

Here are some lessons to remember from this message preached from the pulpit of Grace Haitian Alliance Church on Sunday, April 29:

- "On some occasions one may need to be away from family members as he or she wants to spend some serious time in prayer."

- "On some occasions, you have to shed some tears before God in [in prayer], and you need to be alone with God."

- "It is worth it to spend some time with Jesus in prayer."

- "When you spend time in prayer, people will look for you like they were looking for Jesus."

- "Prayer should be a priority for the Christian..."

What about you who have not accepted Jesus Christ into your life yet? Yes, you... Don't delay; accept him today as your personal savior.

Proclamant la Résurrection du Fils de Dieu

par Hertz Clyde Dézir

Dans son sermon titré Résurrection de Christ, Evidence Irréfutable, Pasteur Joseph Ernest Lainé a mis l’emphase sur l’importance de la résurrection de Jésus Christ vis-à-vis de la foi Chrétienne.

Tout au début du message, il a fait les déclarations suivantes :
· La résurrection est la base de la religion Chrétienne.
· La résurrection affirme que Jésus est réellement le fils de Dieu.
· La résurrection [témoigne que] l’œuvre du salut est complète.
· La résurrection affirme que Jésus reviendra pour juger le monde.

Se basant sur Luc 24 :13-33, il a réfléchi un peu sur l’expérience de deux disciples découragés qui voyageaient sur le chemin d’Emmaüs …. Ces derniers furent désappointés, désespérés et confus au sujet de la résurrection du Christ.

Leur confusion préoccupait Jésus qui s’est apparu à eux sur la route. Alors Jésus leur accompagna et causa avec eux sur leur parcours jusqu'à leur demeure. Qui plus est, Jésus dissipa leur doute. Quel privilège ! Jésus se montra à eux non seulement pour confirmer sa résurrection, mais aussi pour fortifier leur foi.

Selon Pasteur Lainé, pour comprendre la résurrection, il faut comprendre que Dieu avait un plan bien déterminé pour racheter l’humanité. « La résurrection fait partie du plan eternel », a-t-il poursuivi.

A l’occasion du culte de cet avant-dernier dimanche d’avril, Dieu a beau utilisé Pasteur Lainé pour proclamer son message.

Chers lecteurs, croyez en Jésus aujourd’hui si vous n’avez pas encore mis votre confiance en lui.
