Strength In Adversity (20240417)

Following our last discussion, we continue to mention the activities that we have done in the name of religious expediency but that are of no spiritual value. These activities are one way or another derived from scripture but twisted and corrupted into potentially clanging symbols as depicted by Paul. The call is for us to raise a standard and produce the fruit of mature, walking-in-faith sons. ht...

A basic requirement for teaching and training is the use of imagery and routines with the intent of exposing the learner to the higher truth they ought to grasp and implement. Like a boxer who punches bags understands that in the ring on fight day, the opponent shall fight back unlike the bag hanging from a gym ceiling. The question begs then, are we living a life dependent on God and the One He s...

The Distinction of Holiness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NehmJV6lQi8

Jesus repeatedly told the crowds that followed He had brought a Kingdom. “The Kingdom of God is at hand and with you and is in you”, He said. However, it seems quite the challenge for many when they consider what it means to live a Kingdom life, to be in the world and not of it. The high calling of sons of God requires access and utility of resources that the Kingdom has made available freely and...

In Him you also who have heard the Word of Truth, the glad tidings (Gospel) of your salvation, and have believed in and adhered to and relied on Him, were stamped with the seal of the long-promised Holy Spirit. However, I am telling you nothing but the truth when I say it is profitable (good, expedient, advantageous) for you that I go away. Because if I do not go away, the Comforter (Counselor, He...

Having covered the Person of God in the previous discussion, we seek to identify the Son, His nature and work. God’s plan has always been Christ. It was the plan before the beginning since before Abraham was, Jesus said, “I AM”. Jesus is and has solely always been the express image of the Father, the perfect imprint and very image of God's nature, the one whom we are to become like. Is your pu...

As common to most human beings, foundational statements are considered true and unquestionable at face value. This results in the formation of traditions and practices that eventually define and engulf the life of a group of like-minded people. However, Jesus indicted humanity, specifically the religious enterprise on espousing tradition to the extent of making ineffective the very potent Word of...

“If you truly want to follow me, you should at once completely reject and disown your own life. And you must be willing to share my cross and experience it as your own, as you continually surrender to my ways. For if you choose self-sacrifice and lose your lives for my glory, you will continually discover true life. But if you choose to keep your lives for yourselves, you will forfeit what you try...

It has been said that Knowledge is power. In fact, Hosea writes that people are destroyed due to lack of knowledge. Knowledge empowers us to rise and solve life’s problems and challenges and become that which we have decided, envisioned and planned. Knowledge once received but not acted upon is however meaningless. The power resident in knowledge is in its utility and in like manner, Christ define...

What really happened at The Cross?

Much of the world, indeed the religious fraternity, has the outlook of a duality between good and evil, God vs the devil and light vs darkness. As we consider God’s goodness in contrast to evil or unfavourable things we see in the world, Many seem to think that the omnipotent God has an equal to contest with, a formidable foe who occasionally entraps or sabotages His plans by introducing challenge...

Faith is one of the primary elements that allows anyone to appropriate The Kingdom of God. This ever-present idea is a mandatory ingredient in the pursuit of pleasing The King. Yet many still seem to struggle with understanding faith beyond attempting to use it for personal gain. In pursuit of accurate knowledge, we consider the bare-knuckle facts and ideas of what faith is, how it is the SUPPORT...

We are living in a time where information is easily accessible. The pursuit of information by the masses is relentless and has been deemed the new oil. And yet not all information that human beings encounter becomes transformational, whether through school, books, seminars, experiences, etc. Christ said that the seed on good soil is a word spoken and received by the hearer and it produces fruit ac...

What is Christmas really about? May you labour until Christ is [completely and permanently] formed within. https://youtu.be/VbYZZrvj0dg

Anyone who has spent a considerable amount of time reading through and studying scriptures must come across what seem to be contradictory statements. These are sayings and statements that when looked through natural understanding and modern language and varying environmental lenses can sound as though they lack consistency. Yet we keep hearing that scripture should be interpreted by scripture. How...

After the events in the garden between Adam, the woman and the serpent, God made quite a curious declaration. He said he would put enmity between the serpent and the woman, and between the serpent’s offspring and the Offspring of the woman. This statement clues us into the battle that would last for millennia between the offspring of the woman and the serpent. When John the Herald and Jesus came a...

Quite a bit of the discourse by Christ in the Sermon on the Mount addressed the state of the heart. He sought to upgrade our collective thinking from performative incentives to right-minded inspiration when He spoke of murder, adultery, etc. Similarly, the reason we do the work of God is as much a concern to the King as the deeds themselves remembering that He said “Then you will seek Me, inquire...

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. Let your light so shine before men... These words express an output of the believers life that should result in people looking forward to Christ and glorifying The Father. Believers today need to be an accurate r...

It is written that "No one can see God and Live". This statement though given to Moses when he asked to see Gods face is also very loaded within the context of encountering Truth, i.e. Christ, The Cornerstone. Jesus stated that any impact with the stone results in pieces or powder. The question is whether your change in life and attitude wll be as a result of choosing to sacrifice and su...
