     | 7,036 views

    There are certain things that a wise and Godly leader must avoid. The devil uses many demonic assignments to discourage and destroy Godly leaders. God has already provided the power of His Word and His Spirit to help leaders overcome their weaknesses

    The Pitfalls of Leadership 1 Peter 5:8 - Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

    Agape love as the fulfillment of the law.

    LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR. Romans 13:8-10. The imperative, “To no one nothing owe you (all), but to love one another” (Romans 13:8a) follows on from the discussion of being subject to ‘the powers that be’ who - whether we voted for them or not - are ‘ordained of God’ (cf. Romans 13:1). This ...read more

    A faithful confession of sin.

    CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART. Psalm 51:1-10. In this solemn Psalm of repentance, we dive in (headfirst, as it were) with a plea for mercy. The verbs “have mercy… blot out… wash me… cleanse me” (Psalm 51:1-2) all appear to be in the imperative: but they are in fact plaintive pleas based in the fact ...read more

    God is, and ever has been, my protector. Why would He let us down now?

    FROM LAMENT TO PRAISE. Psalm 43:1-5. Bold prayer dares to address God in the imperative. It seems that the Psalmist, speaking on behalf of many a pilgrim since, has lost his sense of the immanence of God. Yet we cannot rely upon senses, so he falls back on what he knows about God. ...read more
