    The Gates Must Be Opened Series

    Contributed by James Dina on Jan 11, 2022
     | 13,650 views

    If these gates remain shut, it will limit our service to God and hinder our destiny fulfilment; but when these gates are opened, we will have exponential church growth, improvement in our church finances and abundant blessings.

    THE GATES MUST BE OPENED “When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him” (Acts 12:10) We shall ...read more

    In one of the December issues of People Magazine, there was an article about Christina Onassis.

    The article stated, “I'm sure we all felt bad over the tragic death of Christina Onassis at the age of 38…” Her stepsister Henrietta Gelber commented: "She lacked a sense of achievement; what she was striving for was just to be a normal human being with normal family relationships, which ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 15, 2022
     | 2,406 views

    The Korahites were the singers and composers in the Tabernacle and Temple. Their Psalms are a rich source of spiritual teaching. Psalm 42 is a Psalm of deep personal feelings where the psalmist has lost his joy and was in a rough patch.

    The nation of Israel would suffer but a remnant would be saved. God is merciful even in judgment. Assyria would be judged and pay a high penalty for her ill treatment of Israel. Isaiah proclaims a promise of victory.

    Isaiah 10:24-27 “So this is what the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, says: “O my people in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrians when they oppress you with rod and club as the Egyptians did long ago. 25 In a little while my anger against you will end, and then my anger will rise up to destroy ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 8, 2025
     | 198 views

    The survivors of the Babylonian destruction take stock and see that their sins brought the Babylonian tragedy on them. They endured punishment, but they turn to confession. We look at man’s justice against God’s justice. Actions have consequences. God’s anger pursued them.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 22 – NO COMPLAINT AGAINST GOD BUT SELF EXAMINATION NECESSARY; REPENTANCE AND CONFESSION - CHAPTER 3:39-43 Last time we finished with the way God dispenses good and ill (or good and evil) according to His sovereignty and the next verse, 39, follows on from that and ...read more

    Jonah did not perceive God’s heart and thereby failed to rejoice when God’s purposes were accomplished in Nineveh. We as a church must have our hearts beat as one with that of God’s and fulfill His purposes to reach the lost and bring them into God’s Kingdom.

    We read in Jonah 4:5, “Jonah went out east of the city and sat down. He made a shelter for himself and sat in its shade, waiting to see what would happen to Nineveh.” (GNB) In this series we are studying the life of Jonah and comparing it with the church of today, thereby trying to learn some ...read more

    Christians are warned to "take heed; be careful" against the Dangers of Presumptuousness, Complacency and Compromise and to ensure that their life’s work will survive the fiery trial of the Judgement Seat of Christ.

    When I’m preparing a message I usually have a Bible concordance within easy reach. A little while ago, as I was turning to a word I wanted to follow up, my eyes fell on the phrase "take heed" and I was surprised to see how many references there were - over 50 ! This was clearly of some importance ...read more

    The only way I can miss the mark is if my attention is drawn away from the mark. If my attention and my focus is constantly on the mark there’s no way I can miss it. But if something takes my attention off the mark there is that possibility that I could

    Paul says in verse 12 of Philippians 3, that he had not attained everything that God had in store for him. The great apostle Paul who we revere and hold up said even I haven’t attained everything that God has for me.
