Anointed For Increase
The size of a church is not a good indicator of how healthy it is. God anoints His Church for increase, not by sheer numbers or size, but by the quality of disciples trained and thrust forth into the harvest field. May our goal not be to grow a big church, but a big people!
Activate
Think back to the time when you first received the revelation of God’s call and destiny; the realisation that He had a plan for your life. Your divine assignment often comes when you’re young or young in the faith. God prophetically shows you what you’ll do many years before you’re activated to do it. Then He puts in a key, turns it, and activates what He had already deposited in you many years before.
The Evil Eye
In Mark 7, as the Lord was exposing the wickedness of men’s hearts, one of the evils He mentioned was the ‘Evil Eye’. It’s more that just miserliness or envy; but a destructive force that can release a curse on others. God wants to wash the filth over our eyes and give us ‘Good Eyes’ to see through His Eyes.
How To Discern The Right Door
There are many doors that we’ll encounter in our lifetime. They come in every shape, size, and form, and each leads down a certain pathway. Some to great joy and fulfilment, others to pain and disappointment. We need to learn the wisdom of how to go through the correct door.
The Great Women Army of Psalm 68
Psalm 68 is a magnificent psalm that depicts God as the warrior-king. It begins with the battle cry of Moses, “Let God arise and all His enemies be scattered”. But verse 11 is pivotal. It says, “The Lord gave the word and great was the company that proclaimed it”. The word for ‘company’ is in the feminine gender, and I’m certain that women will play a pivotal role in what God is doing in the last days, especially the MOTHERS.
Wars and Rumours of Wars
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know we’re entering into a season of conflict. Scriptures say, ‘First the natural, then the spiritual.’ Jesus predicted this when He said we’ll hear of wars and rumours of wars. What is God saying? How do we prepare for this time of conflict, remembering that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers of darkness.
The Prophetic Dilemma – Dealing with false prophets and prophecies
Not since the scandals of tele-evangelists like Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggert in the 1980s, to the more recent ‘failed’ prophecies of Donald Trump’s re-election, and now the exposé of men like Shawn Bolz, Mike Bickle, and a host of other lesser names, has the Church (especially Pentecostals and Charismatics), come under such a barrage of criticism. I don’t have all the answers, but I can give a response from a biblical point of view.
Which ‘Sam’ Are You?
There are ‘2 Sams’ in the Bible – Samuel the prophet, the first Judge of Israel; and Samson the mighty man of God, the last judge of Israel. They share amazing similarities. Both sons had an amazing start; one ended well, the other not so. The question is – which Sam do you want to be?
Running With The Horses
Jeremiah 12:5 says, ‘If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses?’ This verse has been quickened to me on many occasions, especially as I was going through a difficult patch. Each time I felt the urge to complain, the Holy Spirit would bring it to my attention. The prophet is complaining about the ministry, and does not understand why some things were happening in his life. To which he’s […]
Perfect Will vs Permissive Will
Most Christians want to live and function in the will of God. They want to know who the right partner is, if they are in the right job, if they are in the right ministry. They want to know where to live, if they should have children, and how many children. Unfortunately, the majority of Christians often find themselves outside of His Will or perhaps in the permissive will of God. How do we align ourselves to His Perfect Will? […]
