  1. Victoria Falls - Zimbabwe......jpg

    What  a  BIG  power  - Jehovah's  creation  :x   Victoria  Falls - Zimbabwe...

    Victoria Falls....

    One of the greatest attractions in Africa and one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world, Victoria Falls is located on the Zambezi River, the fourth largest river in Africa, which is also defining the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe.

    Victoria Falls is the only waterfall in the world with a length of more than a kilometer and a height of more than hundred meters. It is also considered to be the largest fall in the world.

    The noise of Victoria Falls can be heard from a distance of 40 kilometers, while the spray and mist from the falling water is rising to a height of over 400 meters and can be seen from a distance of 50 kilometers. No wonder that the local tribes used to call the waterfall Mosi-o-Tunya “The smoke that thunders”.

    Scottish missionary and famous explorer of Africa David Livingstone (1813-1873) named it after Queen Victoria. Livingstone who was the first European to cross Africa from south to north discovered this awe-inspiring waterfall in 1855, while preaching Christianity in Africa. That is why Livingstone wasnÂ’t very pleased with his discovery: it was just an obstacle on his way.

    Despite the inconveniences, he was fascinated by the beauty of the falls. In 1857 Livingstone wrote that no one in England can even imagine the beauty of this scene. Religious Livingstone also wrote that most probably angels are admiring the scenery while flying nearby. He was accompanied by soldiers but only two of them took the risk of approaching the waterfalls with Livingstone. For centuries local African tribes had a sacral fear from the waterfall.

    The waterfall was hardly visited by people up until 1905, when a railway to Bulawayo was constructed. Since then Victoria Falls quickly gained popularity until the end of the British colonial rule. At the end of the 1960s the number of tourists started to decrease due to the guerrilla struggle in Zimbabwe. After Zimbabwe gained independence the region has been in relative peace and Victoria Falls started to attract a new wave of tourism.

    By the end of 1990 nearly 300,000 people were visiting the falls each year. Victoria Falls is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the citizens of both Zambia and Zimbabwe no longer have fear of the “the smoke that thunders”, and are successfully developing the tourism on both sides of the river.
    The falls were formed in a zone of crustal faults. On the crest of the fall numerous islands divide the main flow into several branches. During floods, the water flow capacity reaches half a million liters of water per minute.

    The water level varies throughout the year; it is at its peak in April, at the end of the rainy season when on average 500,000,000 liters of water flow and it is at its lowest level in October and early November.

    Interestingly, during the dry season the water level in the Zambezi River drops sharply, and it becomes possible to walk through some parts of the waterfall. However, during the rest of the year Victoria Falls is a roaring machine that strikes anyone with its power.

    Mediante poner de manifiesto la verdad, nos recomendamos a toda conciencia humana a vista de Dios (2 Cor. 4:2).

    Una conciencia educada no solo evita que hagamos cosas malas; también nos impulsa a hacer cosas buenas, como aprovechar toda oportunidad para predicar de casa en casa o en otras ocasiones. Así es como funcionaba la conciencia de Pablo. Él dijo: “Necesidad me está impuesta. Realmente, ¡ay de mí si no declarara las buenas nuevas!” (1 Cor. 9:16). Si seguimos el ejemplo de Pablo y hacemos todo lo posible en la predicación, nuestra conciencia nos dirá: “¡Bien hecho!”. Además, tendremos más oportunidades de despertar la conciencia de las personas a las que hablamos. Sin duda, nuestra conciencia puede sernos de gran ayuda, pero debemos educarla. Estudiemos con empeño la Palabra de Dios, meditemos en ella y pongamos en práctica sus consejos. Una conciencia confiable es una de las herramientas más valiosas que puede tener el cristiano. w15 15/9 2:16, 18

    Sigan andando en unión con Jesús (Col. 2:6).

    Supongamos que usted está mirando dos frutas maduras del mismo tipo. Aunque no son idénticas, es fácil notar que comparten ciertas características. De manera parecida, no todos los cristianos maduros tienen la misma personalidad, ni las mismas costumbres, nacionalidad, salud, edad o experiencia. Sin embargo, todos ellos comparten ciertas cualidades. Por ejemplo, el cristiano maduro se esfuerza por imitar el ejemplo de Jesús a cada paso que da. Trata de seguirlo “con sumo cuidado y atención” (1 Ped. 2:21). Según Jesús, lo más importante es amar a Jehová con todo el corazón, el alma y la mente, y amar al prójimo como a uno mismo (Mat. 22:37-39). Eso es precisamente lo que intenta hacer el siervo de Dios maduro. Para él no hay nada más importante que tener una buena relación con Jehová y tratar con amor a quienes lo rodean. w15 15/9 1:3-5

    Vístanse de amor (Col. 3:14).

    ¿Seremos capaces de resolver nuestras diferencias y tratarnos con cariño durante el Reinado de Mil Años de Cristo? Si aprendemos a perdonarnos y a llevarnos bien desde ahora, en el nuevo mundo se nos hará más fácil (Col. 3:12, 13). En el Paraíso no necesariamente recibiremos todas las cosas justo cuando las queramos. Si somos agradecidos y estamos contentos con lo que tenemos desde ahora, será más fácil aceptar ese hecho. En el nuevo mundo necesitaremos todo lo que estamos aprendiendo hoy. Acostumbrémonos a vivir tal como lo haremos en el futuro; así tendremos cualidades que nos serán útiles por toda la eternidad, y “la tierra habitada [que está] por venir” será más real para nosotros (Heb. 2:5; 11:1). Además, demostraremos que queremos vivir en un mundo en el que reina la justicia. ¿Vemos lo importante que es estar bien preparados para el futuro? w15 15/8 3:11, 12

    By making the truth manifest, we recommend ourselves to every human conscience in the sight of God.2 Cor. 4:2.

    A good conscience does much more than warn us against wrongdoing. It moves us to do good works. Foremost among these good works is our participation in the ministry from house to house and our taking advantage of opportunities to witness informally. Paul’s conscience moved him to do so. He wrote: “Necessity is laid upon me. Really, woe to me if I do not declare the good news!” (1 Cor. 9:16) As we imitate him, our conscience speaks to us, assuring us that we are doing the right thing. And by preaching the good news, we appeal to the conscience of those to whom we speak. Yes, the conscience can be an invaluable tool. By regularly immersing ourselves in God’s Word, meditating on what we find, and striving to put it into practice, we train our conscience. It will thus prove to be a valuable asset in our Christian life! w15 9/15 2:16, 18

    Go on walking in union with [Jesus].—Col. 2:6.

    When you examine ripe fruit at the market, you see that not all the pieces are identical. Yet, they do share some characteristics that identify them as being ripe. Similarly, mature Christians may be of different nationality, background, health, age, and experience. There are even differences in personality or culture. Still, all who grow spiritually develop qualities that identify them as being mature. How so? A mature servant of Jehovah builds his life around the example of Jesus, who left a model for us “to follow his steps closely.” (1 Pet. 2:21) What did Jesus highlight as being very important? Loving Jehovah with all one’s heart, soul, and mind, and loving one’s neighbor as oneself. (Matt. 22:37-39) A mature Christian strives to live in harmony with that counsel. He has established a life pattern that shows that he gives priority to his relationship with Jehovah and he displays self-sacrificing love for others. w15 9/15 1:3-5

    Clothe yourselves with love.—Col. 3:14.

    Will we be able to deal lovingly with one another during Christ’s Thousand Year Reign? If we learn to forgive freely and if we avoid strained relations now, it will be easier for us to do so then. (Col. 3:12, 13) Life in the new world may not mean that we will always get what we want when we want it. Instead, that life will involve being appreciative and content in any situation as we benefit from submitting to Jehovah’s loving sovereignty. It will mean putting into practice the very qualities that Jehovah is teaching us to cultivate now. By learning to live now as we expect to live then, we are developing qualities that we will need to manifest for all eternity. We are strengthening our faith in the reality of “the inhabited earth to come.” (Heb. 2:5; 11:1) Moreover, we are showing how deeply we yearn for the righteous conditions that will then exist on earth. Indeed, we are preparing for everlasting life in God’s new world. w15 8/15 3:11, 12
