Today Mama taught during Deaf Church.
I was able to help her by reading the scripture verses while she dramatised. I also wrote the verses on the board and drew some of her drawings on the board as a visual aid. I am ALWAYS happy and willing to help her. She is my mentor, my friend, my mother :D It is a definite pleasure to serve her and so it is effortless and easy to do it with a willing and kind heart.
I thought that the message was very effective. The Deaf understood the lesson and I too learnt. It was a three (3) part teaching. The first teaching was based on Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds which being interpreted in the Deaf Bible translates to think about how you may help other people, show love and do good things. Mama emphasized how it is important no to complain and critisize and how listening to someone gossip about another contributes to the sin. We were enlightened. Even though it may seem as a simple message, it is these simple things that we overlook from day to day and need to be reminded of them from time to time.
The second lesson was the story of Moses when God instructed him to keep his hand lifted with the rod in order for the Isralites to win the battle against the Amalekites (Exodus 17:8-13). Mama showed how Aaron and Hur helped Moses by bringing a stone for him to sit on and holding his hands when they were tired. In this way, they showed love and did a good thing. Furthermore, she added the story of Miriam complaining against Moses found in Numbers 12:1-15. She stressed the importance of not complaining especially against those God has placed as leaders.
Thirdly, we learnt about the pride of Mical daughter of Saul in 2 Samuel 6:14-23 who despised David worshiping, leaping and dancing before the Lord.
It was a good session all in all. I learnt some lessons that I overlooked before and I know that the Deaf were enlightened.
Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
