    Throughout the Scriptures, there have been times recorded that God would call for a time of divine impartation where an encounter with Him would usher in a process of change that would come in the realm of the Spirit.

    ‘It’s A New Season But You Have To Seize The Moment’ 2 Kings 6:1-6:6 As I look toward the future, I am drawn to the story of Elisha, especially to what happened to him, recorded in 2Kings: 2 Kings 6:1-6 And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, "See now, the place where we dwell with ...read more

    Why do we as a people of God, even after he’s proven victorious in our lives time after time, still fear that he can’t do it?

    I. Introduction: In this particular text, what strikes me is that in the previous chapter, Elijah is just coming off of a victory over the Gods of Baal, where God provided for him and allowed victory, yet, even after that, here in chapter 19 verses 1-3, Elijah becomes fearful again because of ...read more

    Jesus asks Peter this question three times. It is the only time in scripture where Jesus asks anyone, "Do you love me?" It is an important question that determines our ultimate destiny.

    Do You Love Me? What are some things that you love? How does your love of these compare with your love for Jesus Christ? There’s a song in our songbook that goes: “The things that I love and hold dear to my heart are just borrowed they’re not mine at all. Jesus only let me use them to brighten ...read more

    In times of financial stress, God knows the pressures on us. Our problem is that we want both material and spiritual security at the same time. The answer is faithfulness to the core values of ministry and witness.

    A little snatch of dialogue from a television show caught my attention. Could it be true, or was it just so much pretentious hype?

On that occasion He commissioned them – He authorised them to go – saying, “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you” (20:21); and he then appeared to ...read more
