The new year is a natural time for self-evaluation. We take stock of our lives (sometimes unofficially) and assess our progress. For some, the self-appraisal has left us disappointed, confused, disillusioned and wondering how come we’re not moving...
GOD IS personally touched when we give to the poor. Matthew 25 speaks of Judgement Day, when God will separate persons into two groups. One group He is pleased with, and the other He’s not. The dividing line is how they treated the poor and less...
THE WISE Men we read about in the Bible carried gifts for King Jesus. These Magi (noblemen) from the East, recognised that the King of kings had become incarnate; the Son of God had entered the world, and, whatever the cost, they were going to...
WHEN WE have a wounded heart, the path to healing involves some deliberate steps. Time alone won’t heal us. The first crucial step is to forgive those who have wounded us. The second is to ask for God’s forgiveness for our wrong attitude. This may...
WHEN WE look around us, the signs of Jesus’ pending return seem to be everywhere. In Matthew 24, Jesus spoke about some of the signs we’re to be looking for. They include natural disasters, international conflict, increased apostasy, and a...
AS BELIEVERS, some of us may go to church and serve the Lord but still find that the authority that we are called to walk in eludes us. If we find ourselves in this place, it’s cause for introspection because God doesn’t have favourites, and He...
WE SHOULD not approach end-time teachings just for information, because, when we approach spiritual things solely for knowledge, it pushes us in the wrong direction and, according to 1 Corinthians 8:1, knowledge puffs up. Seeking this knowledge...
EVERYONE NEEDS to recognise the importance of the end-time teachings. God has purposely dedicated a lot of space in the Bible to it, in both the Old and New Testaments. The accounts of the end-times in the Bible are meant to bring us hope. We get...
SEX AS part of a relationship is a part of God’s plan for strengthening the marital bond. Sex cements the bond in marriage physically, spiritually and emotionally. Sex is more than a physical thing, it’s deeply spiritual. When we have sex with...
WHEN WE think of eternal life, we often associate it with something that comes after our physical bodies die. But life everlasting does not start at the resurrection. The most popular Scripture in the world declares, “For God so loved the world...
Happy New Year! I pray that 2024 will be your most prosperous and holy year yet. 2023 was a tough year for many. The first full year since COVID-19, and many of us had hoped that it would have been the calm after the storm. Instead, on several...
BY GOD’S grace we have made it to the end of another year, and even if right now everything seems to be the same 12 months later, the truth is that God’s mercies are new every morning, and things can be different in 2024. There is grace available...
TO BREAK free of fear, the secret is to not focus on the situation, but to focus on the proper spiritual application to secure your liberation. Focus on God. 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) tells us that “…God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power...
WE EMPOWER whatever we meditate on. The nature of chronic fear is that we repeatedly think about it, and it in turn drives us. What we fear will catch up with us. Some persons, for example, were so petrified of COVID and thought about it so often...
LEARNING CAN sometimes draw us away from God who gives us the ability to learn. We should strive to add biblical wisdom to our knowledge because knowledge without wisdom makes us proud. By itself, knowledge can lead us astray. 1 Corinthians 8:1...
GOD CREATED us with intellect, and He wants us to use that intellect to honour Him. We have to maximise all that God has given us, and there is always opportunity for us to grow and to expand in areas that we have been limited in before. As human...
ONE MAJOR reason that leads people to make bad decisions is following the crowd. In Acts 27 when Paul advised them not to sail it says, “Since the harbour was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided that we should sail on…”. The fact is that...
As we move away from the negative labels, we need to ensure that we reject being relabelled with them. Even though they saw Samuel anoint David as the next king, David’s brothers still tried to stick their negative labels on him. We see where the...
We live in a world that is fixated on labels. From we are very young we start getting labelled. Here’s the problem; the positive labels hardly ever stick. However, the negative ones usually stick to us like a stain that won’t wash off. Labels are...
It’s when we are submitted to the Holy Spirit, rooted in Christ and our foundation is on Him, that our grasp of God’s love starts to become clearer, and then we will begin “… to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and...
We have all kinds of beliefs regarding if and how God speaks to us. Yet the Bible is full of examples of God speaking to people in different ways. Sometimes we say our ‘mind told us to’ do something or not, or to go in a particular direction. Other...
Most of us live our entire lives and never achieve our full potential, robbing ourselves and the world of the unique gifts that God placed in us. If we are to release our potential, we must understand the principles that God has established for...
What makes you get up and keep going every day? Did you know that we weren’t created just to consume resources – to eat, breathe, and take up space? We were each created to give something unique to this world. There is untapped potential within...
Over the last four weeks, we have discussed unforgiveness. What it is and what it isn’t; how it affects our mental, emotional, and physical health; and how it can lead us down a dangerous road of vengeance that can unnecessarily and irrevocably...
With the increase in crime and violent acts across our society, many victims and loved ones are left to suffer with the pain and bad memories. This suffering can sometimes lead to bitterness and unforgiveness. Forgiveness is therefore critical to...
