The Business of the Kingdom of God
Many people believe that the first time they will enter God’s Kingdom, will be when they pass from this earth. For the purpose of illustration in this article, I would like to say that the Kingdom of God is here and now and among us (Luke 17:21). The Kingdom of...
Forgiveness
There are many hindrances in our lives today that are restricting the work that God would like to do in us. The biggest single area in this respect is that of our relationships with others. We are commanded by God to“…love your neighbour…” Matt 22:39. Jesus says...
Give Us our Daily Faith
In my life, I try to find simple practical solutions in my walk with the Lord. Previously, I found myself praying, asking for things and situations to be resolved according to how I thought they should be sorted out, as if God needed a helping hand! When I found...
God’s Appointment
Have you ever wondered how it is that some of the circumstances of our day are really annoying? We plan our day to the best of our ability but somehow things don’t turn out the way we would like. As I write this, I’m sitting in a queue at a bank – patiently waiting –...
God’s Franchise
A franchise is a type of license that a party (franchisee) acquires to allow them to have access to a business's proprietary knowledge, processes and trademarks in order to allow the party to sell a product or provide a service under the business's name. Similarly,...
Loving God’s Way
In line with the desire to make our walk with the Lord more practical, let’s look at the most important commandment….’Love your neighbour as yourself’ (Matt 22:39). I’m sure we’ve heard these words many times, but have we really understood what Jesus meant? In order...
My Armour or God’s Armour
How many times do we feel that we have need to go out and ‘fight the good fight'? How many times do we feel that if we don’t go out and fight the good fight, we will be disappointing God? How much of our own strength can we commit to this task when we have so much on...
My Name or His?
Somebody asked me the other day what I would do if I won R50 million in the Lotto. I must admit, it was a nice thought – and nice to just let my mind dwell on the answer for a while…. those few minutes gave me a kind of relief from my current pressures. It’s nice to...
My New Hope – Guaranteed!
My Mother loved the Lord and we were blessed enough to spend times worshipping Him together – those were special times. One afternoon when I came to have my afternoon chat with her, I noticed she seemed a little concerned. I asked her what was on her mind and she...
Nursing Emotional Weakness
We are naturally self-centred and therefore it’s not easy for us to accept what other people say about us. We have a built in instinct to defend ourselves and criticise situations or others, if we do not approve. Genesis tells us that Adam was originally created in...
Understanding Prophecy – Part One
What is prophecy, and how does it affect the lives of ordinary folk like you and me? Before discussing the biblical origins and applications of prophecy, let us draw a distinction between worldly and religious prophets. A worldly prophet could predict something as a...
I Am Thirsty
'I Am Thirsty' Like Jesus, we thirst for God's healing, restoring presence in our own pain-wracked lives. Our souls are parched and dry for it. God willingly quenches it - abundantly, fully, now and forever. When was the last time you were really thirsty?Can you...
Wisdom
Proverbs 4:6-9 If you have lived long enough, as I have, you can claim to have seen many changes taking place over the last 70 years. Among the many changes I have seen (and there have been more than a few) is the exponential growth in gaining knowledge. Someone...

"If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin..”
