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...
Have you ever pondered the scriptures where Jesus says that we should ask for anything in His name and the Father will grant it to us? I did, many times. I wondered why I was asking the Lord for things that I felt I needed but God didn’t seem to be answering according...
The Kingdom of God is an area where God has complete reign and authority. His government (Godly principles), are the rules by which the Kingdom operates. It is a Kingdom which is not bound by physical boundaries like a kingdom of this earth. Many times in the New...
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 I...
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal. (John 12:24-25). One...
Experiencing life in community can be a very rewarding time. Let’s have a look at some examples of community situations outside of our normal understanding of city or neighbourhood communities. Community may be one of the following:• Church group: i.e. prayer group or...
In part 1 of this series, we saw that we are all involved in community somewhere in our lives. There can be great benefit in community situations as we discover the wealth amongst the members. The flow of wealth in these groups greatly depends on the bridges of...
In part 2 of this series we saw that it is of prime importance for us as believers, to make sure that the word of God can freely pass between us and all whom we have relationships with. This at any time – in season and out of season. Nothing can be of more importance...
We received an invite to our Granddaughter’s 7th birthday party. What an exciting event! I began to ponder that seven short years ago she was about to be born. At that time our lives still had an empty space that she was about to fill – what a joy! Reason to...
In part one we saw how wonderful it is for us to celebrate things in our lives. Our spiritual lives should be the same. We started to explore two incredible truths that are really worth celebrating. We looked at the first truth of Jesus giving up His life so that our...
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 first...
Summarizing part One: The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the good news about the Kingdom of God, where everything operates according to God’s perfect will. It is not just Jesus dying for our sins or saving us, but a transformative message revealing our true nature....
A secret place is a wonderful place to be. Somewhere where we can be alone to be with our own thoughts, peaceful and quiet, the ideal escape from the world. In our secret place, we can be who we want to be. We can think of things we want to think of. We can work out...
We are naturally self-centred and therefore it is not easy for us to accept negative things that other people say about us. When we do not agree, the built in instinct to defend ourselves, criticise situations and blame others, raises its head. This is true of us in...
“They brought the ark of God and set it inside the tent that David had pitched for it, and they presented burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before God. After David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in...
We have been speaking much in recent times of how our walk with the Lord needs to become more practical. We shared about how the Lord has given us a ‘tool box’ to assist with our daily walk. Prayer is one of the tools in the tool box. The following truth is another...
In the world today communication is very important. In worldly terms – success is borne out of effective communication. We learn communication from teaching institutions but primarily from our upbringing. This would not only be the spoken word but body language...
I really don’t believe God gets any kind of joy at seeing us suffering in our daily lives, as we go about the challenges we face. God certainly is not like a human being. As a genuine Father, He wishes to see us succeed in getting to know Him. Why would He want us to...
“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a Living Soul…” As usual in my walk with the Lord, I have often read scriptures and not really thought very deeply about them....
We’ve heard about the “The Gospel” – the foundation of the Christian faith. Today there seems to be many different versions of how the gospel is interpreted, what the Gospel is or what it means. The gospel is normally explained by saying, “Jesus died on the...
How many times do these words go through our minds when things don’t seem to be going the way we want them to? Our walk with the Lord needs to be more real to us by allowing it to become more practical in our day to day lives. God really desires to have a close...
“Consider it all joy”, says James from his book in the new testament, “When you encounter various trials…” One wonders why somebody would make that kind of statement. James goes on….. “Knowing that the testing (trying) of your faith produces endurance”. He...
Heb 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author...
Summarizing Part One: Surrounded by a cloud of witnesses, let us shed every hindrance and run the race with patience, looking to Jesus, who endured the cross and now sits at God’s right hand. Just as training for an IRONMAN requires sacrifice and dedication, so...
Some may be blessed enough to have a very kind and compassionate boss. Some on the other hand, may not be so blessed. Which category do you fall into? Most people today are supposed to submit to one kind of authority or another, whether that be in a country...
