A lot of believers are born again but not living in light of their redemption. It’s like having an automatic gate that’s functioning on manual. A lot of believers are living like Old Testament saints who are trying hard to be good outside of being regenerated. It’s important to understand redemption if we are going to understand living from a new creation reality. God relates to you as the new cre...

There are different types of rejection people face. Rejection by family, rejection because of ethnicity, rejection at school, rejection for your faith, rejection in ministry, rejection because of age, and rejection in the corporate world. Acceptance from man is often fickle. I have experienced many types of rejection but through it all have known and experienced God’s delight.

To those that have been wounded by the Judge-Critic, remember that God is the ultimate Judge and He has chosen to give Himself wholly to you. “An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others.” ― A.W. Tozer God warns us about what we do with our tong...

A victim is a person who has come to feel helpless and passive in the face of misfortune or ill-treatment. Based on life experiences, this become an integral part of some people’s personality. Unfortunately, remaining in a space of powerlessness hinders progress as one tends to be a blame-shifter that never takes responsibility for their own success. The reality is that we all have a choice. Will...

As we aim to embrace our recreated selves in Christ we all need to go through a decoupling process when it comes to identity. This involves emptying ourselves of false (pseudo) identities. Your identity is formed by a variety of things including 1. Your Upbringing 2. Education 3. Culture and worldview 4. Experiences (positive and negative) 5. Interpretation of events. Your personality is typically...

Often the church has emphasized the power of our identity in Christ in the context of its benefits; what we can obtain. Whilst this is valid, it is often still centred around our needs and desires. The result is that our identity in Christ becomes a mere tool for gaining our idols. This is humanism. The Lord has shown me the importance of having an identity that is centred around the Gospel. What...

A person’s identity is the condition or character as to who a person is that distinguish or identify that person. In essence it is the distinguishing characteristics of someone. To rehabilitate someone is to restore someone to their former capacity, standing, dignity, rank, rights, or privileges. Why is there so much identity theft? It’s because people see the power of having someone else’s identi...

What have you done differently since last week? Do not just be a hearer of the Word but also a doer. Grace is a person (Jesus) and place. The onus is on us to run to His throne of grace. Heb 4:16 Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. When people boast about how much they seek God or how long they spen...

A generation can be characterized by seeking after God Psalm 24:6 This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face--even Jacob. Selah. Hosea 10:12-13 Sow with a view to righteousness, reap in accordance with kindness; break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the LORD Until He comes to rain righteousness on you… This is something we must do NOW. If not, we may not have th...

“I’ve listened to someone as young as 14 and someone as old as 100 talk about their close friends, and [there are] three expectations of a close friend that I hear people describing and valuing across the entire life course,” says William Rawlins, the Stocker Professor of Interpersonal Communication at Ohio University. “Somebody to talk to, someone to depend on, and someone to enjoy. These expecta...

Now the name ​Jehovah Jireh​ originates from the well known episode in Genesis where Abraham takes his only son Isaac up the mountain, and is asked by the Lord to sacrifice him as a burnt offering. Now, lest we forget, God had specifically promised Abraham that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky, and that this promise would be fulfilled through his son Isaac. Isaac spoke...

As believers, we all know that Jesus Christ is Jehovah Jireh. Repeatedly this particular aspect of who Jesus is comes to the fore in our lives and because our needs are many, it is easy for us to identify with He who provides. In fact, it is so easy that we can often over emphasise this particular aspect of who Jesus is, alternatively, and this is what most often happens, we can often fail to full...

In warfare, there are numerous weapons that we have been given by the Lord. At times, it is clear which weapon or weapons we should pick-up and utilise. At times it is not as clear. Regular use and experience will help us to understand which one works in which situation, but sometimes if we can’t hear God clearly in the moment, we need to continue to stand utilising what we know to use and keep us...

What does intimacy with God mean? A true, deep connection with God so as to know Him fully, know His mind, know His heart, know His character, know His purposes that we might worship and serve Him in a manner that He desires, primarily for His pleasure and for the advancement of His Kingdom.

In different times in different season he reveals different aspects and characteristics of himself to us in different ways. Today I believe he wants to reveal himself to us as the God who is with us, Immanuel. The Lord who is there where we are – he is not remote or far off. He is there. He is with us. He is with us when we are meeting in His name, but His being with us is not limited to being wit...

God invented sex and thought it was good. In fact, it was the first thing God referred to in the blessing. In the right context (marriage) this is true. Outside of God’s protective boundaries there are negative consequences. “God does not ‘hate’ sex; he hates faithless sex with forbidden women, but he loves faithful sexual expressions in the context of marriage. God loves it so much that he comman...

Often when we talk about habits we tend to focus on so called bad habits. These bad habits are disempowering. Good habits are empowering. A lot of what we talk about is how to break bad habits but ultimately bad habits need to be displaced with good ones. Successful people have habits that average people don’t have. Healthy and fit people have habits that unhealthy unfit people don’t have. You see...

What do we mean when we say, let your kingdom come, let your will be done, here on earth, as it is in heaven? Do we identify the link between God’s Kingdom being manifested here on earth, in our lives and His Will being accomplished here on earth in our lives? Do we connect the dots between His Manifest Kingdom and His Will? Do we understand the connection between His Manifest Kingdom and His King...

My ability to control and consecrate what comes out of my mouth is a good barometer for the health of my spiritual life. James 3:8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. What we say about ourselves affects our perception of ourselves. With the fruit of a man’s mouth his stomach will be satisfied; He will be satisfied with the product of his lips. Deat...

This Sunday Ps Paul shared with us the Vision for Go Church for the year 2020. This is a powerful time of highlighting the plans and processes we are going to put in place this year to achieve our desired outcomes as a church. We look forward with anticipation for the year that lies ahead - watch this space, God is at work!

When our path here on earth comes to an end, each of us are going to have to give an account to God of all we have done. Having a relationship with the living God implies that there is a degree of accountability between us and Him. We are accountable to Him for our actions and behavior, but we are also accountable to each other in many respects. Accountability ensures that we are responsible in ou...

Corporate prayer is a gathering of believers who lift up their voices to God in unity, in repentance, in all manner of prayer and in worship. Unified prayer and worship, praise and thanksgiving allow us to experience the Presence of God in a greater way. The Holy Spirit often moves in hearts and lives in these environments.

Fasting is a system in the Kingdom primarily involving abstaining from food. It is primarily designed to help believers to connect with God and disconnect from the flesh. "Fasting acts as a catalyst that increases the efficiency and effectiveness of other spiritual disciplines." - Paul Nyamuda.
