In Luke 18:1-8, Jesus shares the parable of the poor widow seeking the Judge for legal protection from her adversary. Being a widow, and not having a husband to help or protect her, her request came from a very sincere and burdened heart. She had a clear need to keep...
But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. (1 Corinthians 11: 3) Seek God’s HeartAnytime we come across issues which may lead to contention in the body, we should seek God’s heart in the...
How lovely it would be to have our own personal drinking Well? The water at the bottom of a natural source is beautiful. Cool, clear and full of natural minerals – untainted by the outside world. Drinking water from a Well such as this would certainly have health...
Jesus told us the two most import commandments are:“…YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.’and then He said, the second most important one is, `YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR...
There are times in all our lives when things are very difficult. The more we focus on these things, it seems the worse they get – know what I mean? If we could take our focus off those situations and dwell on something positive, it would really help. I find looking in...
Imagine an Elephant and a small Rhino living in a room. It would be very difficult for either to move around. In order to ease the situation, it would be good if the Elephant lost weight and ‘shrunk’ – as it were. As the Elephant loses weight and becomes...
Today’s business market is extremely competitive. I don’t think there has ever been a time in our history when all aspects of business need to be so well honed in order to merely just stay ‘afloat’. We believe, by faith, that God can do anything. However, can we trust...
If we were perfect in God’s eyes, would we have need for Him in our lives? I think not. If we had all our physical needs met daily, would we call out to Him for help. I think not. If all our emotional relationships were running smoothly, would we be crying on God’s...
As Christians, it is easy to get caught up in the daily grind of life and lose sight of our ultimate goal – that is, to be with God in His Kingdom, both in heaven when we leave the earth, and now, while on earth. We can become so focused on our earthly...
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...
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...
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 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...
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...
As we travel along our daily road of life, we can find ourselves, broadly speaking, in one of two states of mind – either, filled with fear and anxiety or abiding in the peace of the Lord. Let’s imagine walking into a neatly laid out vegetable garden. The rows of...
Ever wondered why it is that we seem to get so offended when others don’t agree with us or worse still, criticize us? We aren’t alone in this. A quick look through the Bible shows that throughout history, many were disappointed at situations in their lives. Let’s...
On the 22 April 2017 all South Africans were invited to meet on a farm near Bloemfontein in the Free State. The purpose of this meeting was to worship the Lord and pray for our country, South Africa. It was amazing to be part of such a gathering. As far as our eyes...
(1Cor.11:24-26) When last did you and I go to a celebration, like a wedding, a birthday party or some other special occasion and truly enjoy ourselves together with the hosts? Normally what happens at those types of occasions is the eating, drinking and partying take...
We really do find it difficult to adhere to God’s word on a daily basis don’t we? We get up in the mornings and would like nothing more than to be the ‘perfect Christian’ all day. Sadly, it doesn’t work that way. As the pressures of our day mount, we seem to miss the...
Communities form a very important part of our social structure. There are large communities and there are small communities. Apart from Cities and Neighbourhoods, there are other types of communities – Cell groups, Prayer groups, Sports groups, Companies,...
In terms of the impact of the Gospel, nothing has really changed since the time of Jesus – some people will accept the message freely and others will reject it outright, turning the light of the Gospel off, so they can continue working in the dark undisturbed. Some,...
At first glance, the situations in the world around us do not seem to be very encouraging. The reason that is, is that we see things according to our own understandings. Our ‘measuring’ system is the nature which we received from Adam. This nature causes us to...
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...
From the time of the Garden of Eden, mankind has continued to inherit a sinful nature. Scripture shows us in Genesis 1:26 that ADAM was created in the ‘image and likeness’ of God. Genesis 5:3 goes on to show us that Adam had a son in his (Adam’s) image and likeness....
I’ve heard the expression “desperate times call for desperate measures…” and can’t help but think sometimes my prayer life is something like that. We live in desperate times. Our country’s economy is currently very difficult and as a nation, we struggle with divisions...
