Guard Your Heart – Part Two
Prov 4:23: Guard Your Heart – Part Two The Wake-Up Call (Proverbs 4:23) Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. In part one we saw the importance of guarding the heart, showing how a simple driving incident revealed deeper...
The Power of Debt over you
I was having a chat with my son the other day and he asked me, “Dad, if you lived your life over again, would you change anything?” I had a little chuckle, knowing there would probably be a number of things I would do differently. However, without any doubt, I...
The Power of Worry
Worry – we’ve all fallen into its trap at one time or another – have a look at this definition… “Worry” (verb) - feel or cause to feel anxious or troubled about actual or potential problems. What I found very interesting in this definition is the phrase “potential...
The Power of Forgiveness
Whilst reading in the bible recently I came across a scripture where Jesus was giving a teaching on Forgiveness. It never ceases to amaze me how we have read scriptures many times, but yet by the power of His Spirit, the Lord reveals more to us. It’s often the...
The Principles of Principles
We may have heard about the ten commandments or the ancient law that was given to the Israelites in order to point them towards God in their daily behaviour, but have we heard about Godly principles? Perhaps we’ve heard about them, but have we pondered on them for...
The Two-Way Street
We live in a very ‘instant’ society and we’ve come to expect that everything we desire, must be in our hands in a very short time. When things don’t happen according to the way we want it, or take a long time to happen, we get upset and impatient. Why is that? Well...
Unlocking Wealth in Business
Today more than ever there seems to be a wide spread feeling that the Spirit of the Lord is showing us that our walk with Him needs to be more practical. Gone are the days where believers hear the word of God and are unable to practically see it out working in...
Using Keys to Release the Kingdom
God works in many wonderful ways and we see evidence of this all around us. I have seen how He has allowed sicknesses to be healed, marriages to be restored and businesses to be blessed. People have been encouraged by God to start ministries or works which will...
Wanted Dead or Alive?
We’ve heard it said that Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice for us, but I wonder if we have really applied deep thought into what actually took place on the cross at Calvary. Normally when thinking about Jesus’s death, we are inclined to focus on His physical death,...
What a deal!!
Today, because of the negative economic conditions we live in, we are constantly on the lookout for a ‘deal’ of some sort. Somewhere where we can get something for a bargain price, something for a bulk price or best of all, something for nothing. As long as...
Stop Worrying – Part Two
We left off Part One with this statement: The rubber on the road is this: Jesus said His solution was: “…And he said that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.”[1] “…But more than anything else, put God's work first and do what he...
Unlocking the Power of Prayer in Everyday Life
Imagine having the power to say 'No' to sin and living a victorious Christian life. It’s possible, and we have the tools to make it happen. Our Christian walk needs to become more practical. When our old nature died with Jesus, we gained the power to say ‘No’ to...
Shiloh
Genesis 49:10 Shiloh is a biblical character. The name ‘Shiloh ’ appears in the Hebrew Bible and holds significant importance. It is often associated with a place but is also interpreted as a messianic title or a reference to a future ruler. In Genesis 49:10, the...
Destiny
Psalm 22:9-10 “Yet you are he who took me from the womb; you made me trust you at my mother’s breasts. On you was I cast from my birth, and from my mother’s womb you have been my God.” Do you believe in ‘Destiny”? I do, but probably not in the way that you imagine...
Introduction to The Gospel of Jesus Christ – Part 1
Have you ever asked anyone what the Gospel of Jesus Christ is? I have. It was very interesting to hear some of the answers. Some said, “the Gospel is Jesus dying for my sins” – others said “the Gospel is when Jesus saved me from my sins” and one said, “it’s the...
Mission Malawi – Chapter 15
October 3 1995Another visit from the thieves. This time we foiled them at the chicken cage but they still managed to get away with one of the chickens. It seems to be a syndicate operating in the area. One group patrolling in a vehicle, picking up the ‘booty’ while...
Mission Malawi – Chapter 16
15.10.95All has been quiet on the ‘wakhuba’ front. We are very tired but still blessed by our hourly watch and praying at night. Christopher and Sally will be arriving any day now and the Lord has really had His hand on preparations for their house. On...
Mission Malawi – Chapter 17
01.11.95Two more little groups have opened up for us to minister. Sue is now sharing with the Presbyterian Youth Group and the Lord has given Andy a home group not too far from us. It’s quite something for him to go on the bike in this heat. A door opened for us to...
Mission Malawi – Chapter 18
30.11.95 Our little grocer business is growing well. How I marvel at the Lords hand. We started off eight months or so ago, with three crates of cold drinks to sell which would give us about K160.00 turn over. Today, by God’s grace we will turn over about K1000.00...
Mission Malawi – Chapter 19
03.01.96 Well, “Christmas” and new year have come and gone for another year. Some Christians have again been drawn into the pagan origins of Christmas celebrations for the wrong reasons. How the Lords heart must break at this time when He witnesses the goings on...

"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..”
