Save the Date!
In the Old Testament, we see God outlining to His people the ‘Appointed’ festivals that must be observed. God is very clear in His Word about the importance of observing these festivals and assemblies to remember the time of their escape from Egypt and their slavery! In observing these festivals, they would recall the miraculous […]
“Drawing close to God”
In the book of James, chapter 4 verse 8, James simply says – “draw near to God and He will draw near to you”. It is a simple but profound sentence. But for God by His Spirit to draw ‘near to you’ – it requires an action from us, namely, to draw near to God! […]
A pause before the Sabbath.
When Jesus entered the Synagogue in Nazareth, he was handed the scroll of the prophet Isaiah to read. Jesus found the passage where it starts with “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,…” and closes with the first part (what we now call chapter 61 verse2) “…to proclaim the year of the Lord’s […]
Lest we forget
In this day of remembrance there is much we can reflect on, especially the fact that millions of soldiers gave their lives in battle. Indeed, “lest we forget” the value of life! As we know, we easily can forget and history does therefore repeat itself as we do not learn from the past! “The future […]
Are you in position?
In Matthew chapter 25, we see Jesus give the church a ‘parable’ concerning The 10 Virgins – representative of the churches! He is saying that the “kingdom of God will be like these 10 virgins – five were wise and five were foolish!” From this parable, Jesus is clearly showing us important points in being […]
A Bride of Impact!
The book of Revelation in the bible in the original Greek is ‘apocalipto’ – which is two words, “apo” and “calipto”. This literally means ‘the Removal of the Veil” – the revealing of all things! The mystery has now been revealed which is His church! – THE BRIDE! In revelation 21 from verse 9, the […]
Entering the Open Door
In his letter to the church of Philadelphia (Revelation 3:7-13), the Lord Jesus says that there is ‘an open door’ to the church, to remove them from the trial that is to come to the whole earth! That is some promise! Who would like to be in a church and receive that commendation!? But, what […]
Boat of Endurance
The ministry of Jesus centered around several key areas and themes, and boats were one of these themes! In the gospels we see the use of boats illustrated in many a story. In one such story in Matthew 8:23 we see Jesus get into the boat and his disciples followed him. During this ‘boat trip’, […]
“I want to know you Jesus”
In these ever-hostile days we live, we see the signs that Jesus speaks of in Matthew 24 – “there will be wars and rumours of war, for nation shall rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom. There shall be famines and pestilences, earthquakes in many places”. Jesus continues to give many other indicators to show us […]
“Ask, seek and knock!”
Jesus says in Matthew 7 :7, – “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Today, we ask ourselves, “What obstructions are in the way in seeking God and what things are stopping us from continuing to ‘knock’ the door and keep […]
