Last week we learned that God wants us to focus on Him and His Kingdom, rather than on the ways of the world. He wants our minds to be pure, in order for His Spirit to flow mightily through us. If our thoughts are filled with the filth of the world, we are stifling the […]
Last week we discussed that we are one with Jesus Christ. Isn’t that just awesome? We are one with the King of all kings, the Lord of all lords. He is living and breathing within us. His eternal life is pulsating through our veins and we are part of His Kingdom now already as we […]
Last week we learned out of Scripture that we are part of God’s Kingdom, now already. We are citizens of Heaven with our main purpose in life being able to draw people into His Kingdom and glory. We need to be ambassadors for Christ. The Bible tells us clearly why we need to be ambassadors […]
Last week I spoke about us having a wonderful, amazing Hero like Jesus in our lives. He stands ready to bless and to help. He has opened up the gateways to Heaven for us. He has paved the way in order for us to have wonderful fellowship with our Father. He has given us access […]
I have my own prayer closet where I put up all my prayer requests. I write them on a paper and I put them up on the inside door of the closet. Now yesterday when I opened the closet, I saw that my son took a sticker – ‘Jesus is my Hero’ and he stuck […]
I would like to use the instance of the multiplication of the loaves of bread and fishes for a last time. I find it very interesting that the same food were used in both multiplications. When the 5,000 men were fed Jesus used 5 loaves and two fishes and when the 4,000 men were fed […]
Seeing that I was in the Accounting profession, I love to look at numbers. Now no number in the Bible is there by accident! No number is just arbitrary. No, numbers are there for a reason. So today I would like us to have a look at two similar incidents, with different numbers and see […]
A new year has dawned and has been birthed from the throne room of God. Some of us might look upon this coming year with dread, and some of us might look upon this year with excitement. Now even though the future is a mystery to us all, we are privileged to know the One […]
Christmas is around the corner again and what a wonderful time of year it is! It is a time to reflect and a time to be around loved ones. Christmas is a joyous time, filled with God’s love and splendour. It is also a time to ponder the wonderful coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. […]
As I was reading through the New Testament, one thing stood out for me more than most other statements, and that is that we are God’s sons. This is a profound statement and one that has the ability to change your life, once you truly understand what this means. Come and allow me to show […]
This morning I went for a walk in the Estate where we live. We have lovely parks with some of the natural vegetation left by the developers. Now this morning I saw amongst the thorn trees a small deer. It was the most lovely thing in the early morning sun. I was so excited and […]
The moment Adam and Eve sinned, they realised that they were naked. And the reason was that the glory of the Lord had departed from them. They weren’t radiating His glory anymore. And therefore they saw for the first time that they were naked. The other day I read the following Scriptures and in a […]
I was reading through the Gospel of Matthew this morning and there was something that amazed me. I read how Jesus provided food for five thousand men with merely five loaves of bread and two fish. Now that is amazing and wonderful in itself, but it was not what caught my attention this morning. What […]
I spoke last week of making a difference in someone’s life, of helping someone to put them on the right path for their lives. It requires a bit of effort on your side, it requires time, but it is more than worth it. You have helped someone to make something with their lives, instead of […]
This morning I heard the following song: “If we are the Body, why aren’t His arms reaching, why aren’t His hands healing, why aren’t His Words teaching? If we are the Body why aren’t His feet going, why is His love not showing them there is a way? Jesus paid much too high a price […]
“I will cause My people and their homes around My holy hill to be a blessing. And I will send showers, showers of blessings, which will come just when they are needed.” Ezekiel 34:26 In the Old Testament My blessings were showered down on My people just when they needed it. My blessings came as […]
I was reading through Acts and one story in particular amazed me. (There are several amazing stories, but I would like to pause with this one for the moment.) This story is about the commitment of Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey. They started in Cyprus and continued towards Turkey as we know […]
God’s Word is amazing and I encourage you to spend time in it. Remember the Bible is not 66 different books, it is one book with one message, but if it is read in compartments certain parts of this message gets lost or distorted. However if you read it as a whole, it will set […]
I received a lovely email about a young man and an elderly man who decided to have a competition. They wanted to see who was going to cut down the most trees in one day. The young man was quite excited about this competition as he was the stronger of the two by far. They […]
The Lord wants us to spend time with Him. He wants us to get to know Him better and better in order for each of us to be able to grow spiritually and to live our lives the way He intended. And most importantly, He wants us to spend time with Him simply because He […]
