Practical application of Grace
Walking in the Spirit vs walking in flesh. Galatians 5 : 16 -26 A Christian life is not passive submission but active surrender. We cannot wake up and think, as the Holy Spirit is in us, we can just say to The Spirit -You lead us. Then we turn around and do whatever we like […]
“Unless a kernel of wheat……”
In the Gospel of John, chapter 12 and verse 24, Jesus says something very profound, – “ I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives.” We can all suggest of course […]
“I will build My Church!” – Phase 6, Philadelphia, “My Beloved Bride”
Jesus writes the most wonderful letter of sure hope for this church. “I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut”, and “Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world” (Revelation 3:8, 10) […]
The ‘Priority’ report.
In the book of Luke chapter 10, we see Jesus entering the house of a woman called Martha. What an honour this was, to have Jesus come and spend time in your house! However, Martha was busy cleaning and preparing things whilst her sister Mary was sitting at the feet of Jesus listening to every […]
“I will build my Church” – Phase 5. ‘Sardis, the dead church’
For over a thousand years and more, under the oppression of the holy roman empire and its clergy, the bible was not made available to the people. In some instances, the bible which was still in Latin was chained to the pulpits and to be read only by the clergy! With the true Word of […]
“I will build My church” – Phase 4. Thyatira, the counterfeit ‘church’.
During the reign of Constantine, the ‘church’ and Christianity was brought into the Roman empire. As highlighted in the letter to Pergamum, the ‘church’ of Christ had now been married to the State. But the Bride of Christ is espoused to one husband, that is Jesus himself! Coming out of the demise of the Roman […]
Walking with the Resurrected King
Following His resurrection, Jesus comes alongside two of his disciples walking away from Jerusalem to another town! In a remarkable account, we see that though Jesus holds a conversation with them, gives a Bible study and rebukes them, they still do not recognise him! Is it possible that we can be walking with Jesus and […]
Awaken to make an Impact
For ‘forty’ days after his ‘resurrection’, Jesus appeared and met with his disciples many times. In one of these appearances and meetings, Jesus came alongside and showed two discouraged disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24) how he fulfilled all the scriptures. Wow, a bible study with the Word of God Himself! After the […]
Finished at the Cross
From having being created good, the sin in Eden resulted in the basic nature of man becoming corrupted. This corrupt fallen nature was carried down through every individual from one generation to the next. Some 2500 years on God called a man, separated him from his homeland and through him the Jewish nation came. Through […]
Fasting that opens your Spiritual Eyes
In the book of Acts chapter 9, we see the dramatic conversion of Paul following a direct encounter with the Lord Jesus. Following this encounter Paul was left blind for three days and did not eat! That was some encounter that makes you lose your appetite! Why was Paul blinded by his meeting with Jesus? […]
