Gather Stones To Build The Altars

Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 15, 2024

All over this land, God could see the broken state of the church altars and the lack of fire in the pulpits.

In a vision, a young man was taken to a church. There were many people in this church, and a preacher preached from the pulpit. The church looked very beautiful from the outside, but the altar and pews were broken and damaged. The preacher did not realise that the altar was broken and needs to be ...read more

Reacting Or Responding?

Contributed by Jerry Smith on Feb 6, 2014

The disciples ‘reacted’ to the behavior of the Samaritans by wanting to harm them: Bad for bad, tit-for-tat. And is it not true of us today too? But what did Jesus say to His disciples and us today about it?

OPENING > And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. And they did not receive him, because his ...read more

God Love.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Feb 11, 2024

Love is a verb, it’s a word of action. The actress Joan Crawford once said “Love is a fire but whether it warms your heart or burns your house down, you can never tell!”

God Love. Psalm 103:8-13 The reason I named this, God love, is because you have to know God love, before you can love God and others appropriately. If you’re ‘one’ that says, “I know God loves me but….” Until you truly understand that nothing can separate you from Gods love, confusion dominates. ...read more

Sought By God

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 24, 2022

The evil and wickedness we are seeing in the world is breaking God’s heart. And He’s looking for a people to work with Him to give those who don’t know Jesus an opportunity to avoid the lake of fire.

Turn with me to Genesis 18. I want to look at Genesis 18, but probably not for the reason that it was written. Oh, so you are going to take scripture out of context? No. You are getting ready to make scripture mean something that it doesn’t mean? No. It’s just that there so much that we can learn ...read more

How We Quench The Spirit

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Feb 18, 2022

God wants the fire of the Holy Spirit to burn within us. However, tragically, once the fire of the Spirit is ignited, we often grab a fire extinguisher and douse the flame. This message looks at why and how this tragic occurrence happens.

There was once a small, quiet town in which fires began to pop up on a frequent basis. It wasn’t long until people discovered that the source of these fires was a pyromaniac. It was actually the Fire Chief himself! This fellow “would secretly start the fires and then work to extinguish them . . ...read more

Repairing The Altar Of The Lord

Contributed by Bishop Prof. Julius Soyinka on Jul 29, 2015

An honest look at the condition of the church in many places today reveals weakness, lethargy, and decline. In many places the fires of revival and renewal have dimmed, or have been greatly hindered by the encroachments of sin, the flesh and the devil.

REPAIRING THE ALTAR OF THE LORD Study Text: 1Kings 18: 30 - 39 Introduction: - The trouble in many churches is not the Pastor or the program. The trouble is "Broken Altars" in the lives of God's people. - The purpose of an altar is: Worship; Sacrifice; Giving of Offerings; God's people gather ...read more

"Death And The Dance: David, Uzzah, And The Ark”

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jul 7, 2002

God is holy, and not to be trifled with. We wisely enter His presence with the awareness that He is a consuming fire.

“Death and the Dance: David, Uzzah, and the Ark”, II Samuel 6 This chapter qualifies as one of the difficult passages of Scripture. We are taken aback at the harsh action of God, in what we might regard as a merciless act of justice. On the surface, we see Uzzah doing what appears as a ...read more

God is a consuming fire - just yet merciful. We fall away from him at our peril.

Almost every single passage in Hebrews that we have looked at over the past few months has given us, at its heart, a very simple message. There’s often been a complicated rationale behind it, complex yet profound explanations of the old and new covenants, we’ve really got into the solid theological ...read more
