As we go into this new year it is important that we have a revelation of God’s jealous nature. It is important to understand that there is a righteous jealousy that is appropriate for God to have. His love and concern for us must come with a jealousy over us. He wants to be first in our lives and He wants us to have nothing else competing with Him. He is perfect and knows that any other focus we h...

Today I want to stand on that foundation and look more closely at what Scripture actually says about God as our Rewarder. Hebrews 11:6 tells us that faith is not complete until we believe not only that He is, but that He rewards those who diligently seek Him. So we’re going to ask: What does God reward? How does He respond to secret generosity, hidden prayer, quiet fasting? How does He weigh our w...

Refined For His Glory.

Today I want to speak to you about something every believer encounters at some point in their walk with God — the tension between what we believe about God and who He is, and what we are actually experiencing in real life. Many of us, especially in our African context, have been shaped by extremes of the prosperity gospel or have come from cultures where expressing pain, confusion, or raw emotion...

Today we are continuing to look at antidotes for anxiety. Anxiety doesn’t just affect the mind; it can profoundly impact the body, often manifesting as physical illness or chronic symptoms. We will explore the importance of understanding the physical consequences of anxiety, specifically common sicknesses that stem from anxiety. In the second part of the message we will also examine practical thin...

Many of us have made friends with fear. We have become so used to our state of anxiety despite many warnings in scripture that we should not remain in that state. Sadly, many people are not aware that they have an anxiety problem. Chronic anxiety is not good for your body. Accurate diagnosis will result in accurate solutions. Isn’t it interesting how we are comfortable being labelled with various...

Paul’s Burden for the Churches

In our previous discussion on biblical anxiety, we saw that even God’s servants wrestled with inner turmoil, fear, and distress. Today, we turn our attention to two kings—Saul and Herod—men of influence, power, and potential who both allowed anxiety to shape their destiny in tragic ways. The accounts of these two rulers are not just ancient history; they are mirrors reflecting what happens when sp...

As KINGDOM CITIZENS we owe our allegiance to Jesus Christ because without His sacrifice on the cross the divide between ourselves and God would still exist today. He is THE DOOR. He is the WAY MAKER. He is the TRUTH and the LIFE. He gives us permanent access to the Kingdom, for those who choose to repent, believe and follow Him. I am always amazed that Christ chose to die for us while we were stil...

Anxiety is not a modern invention. Though our vocabulary and psychology may be more sophisticated today, the human heart has wrestled with fear, uncertainty, and inner turmoil since Eden. Scripture gives us more than just commands like “Do not be anxious” — it gives us people. Real people, with real fears, who faced real threats. From Elijah’s exhaustion under the broom tree to Paul’s daily pressu...

In this message we will explore anxiety producing patterns in others and also the anxiety-maker within. Part of EQ is emotional self-awareness and a subset of that is knowing the impact you have on those around you. Research in psychology shows that certain interpersonal styles and personality traits can indeed make others feel uneasy or anxious. It’s true that context matters. Sometimes we react...

Accurate diagnosis results in accurate treatment. When we figure out how we have learned certain reactions it becomes easier for us to unlearn them. I spoke to a client of mine recently. She lives on a small- holding with lots of rescue dogs and various kinds of animals. This is someone who's not afraid of animals in general, however she shared with us a story about how she's afraid of frogs. She...

One of the major growth steps for a lot of people in the corporate world, in civic society and even in churches, is learning how to speak up. Many people were raised in households where they were told children must be seen not heard. In psychology there's what’s called transference; very often the experiences we have in childhood with our primary caregivers are transferred on to our current relati...

Whether you are a concert pianist, sports enthusiast, or a young professional who needs to give presentations at work, this same pattern often presents itself. The enemy’s strategy is to get us to focus on something else other than God’s goodness and presence with us. This is one of the reasons Jeus instructed His disciples saying, “Abide in me, Remain in me”. Isaiah 26:3 states, “You will keep in...

Whether it’s a parent, leader, pastor, athlete, or salesperson, anxiety often drives four major areas: Over-control (micromanaging, over-preparing); Avoidance (not taking necessary risks); Perfectionism (overworking to avoid mistakes) and People-pleasing (excessive concern about approval).In this message we will explore the anxious parent and the anxious child, highlighting how this dynamic affect...

Unmasking Anxiety | Paul Nyamuda by Go Church SA

In this series we are taking a deeper look at anxiety by integrating the neurobiology, neuroscience, psychology and theology of anxiety. I will also illustrate the different sources of anxiety, ranging from chemical imbalances and psychological factors to demonic spirits that come to torment with a spirit of fear. In this first message I will give a rationale for this study and also lay a foundati...

Many have grown comfortable in salvation, losing zeal for God. In safe, familiar settings, the fire dims, leading to spiritual slumber. The only way to reignite it is to return to the cross, truly grasping that we faced God’s wrath and deserved death. Jesus, sinless, took our punishment, giving us forgiveness and righteousness, stirring hunger for God again.

Romans 8:11 – “The Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you...” This is one of the most powerful revelations for a believe to fully embrace. God is manifest within you too. 1 Corinthians 6:19 – “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit...” Paul emphasises identity in a lot of his narratives. It’s one thing to be something it’s another thing to really kno...

In our walk with the Lord, we often experience Him quite tangibly in our corporate meetings. Our challenge is that not many of us know how to sustain the presence as we go about our daily lives. In this message I will share some of the core teachings of Brother Lawrence and also integrate my own experiences and relevant scriptures.

Scripture shows that demonic spirits (unclean spirits) are drawn to — or given legal access by — certain attitudes, behaviours, or spiritual conditions in a person’s life. These are the things that invite their counterfeit presence rather than God’s true presence. We are living in times where people rejoice over atmospheres that seem positive but are not actually God’s presence.

Grieving the Holy Spirit “We often neglect or insult the Holy Spirit by ignoring Him or living contrary to His promptings, and then we wonder why there is no power in our lives.” Francis Chan (Forgotten God). We short-circuit the manifest presence of God by grieving the Holy Spirit. In this message we will explore what entails grieving the Holy Spirit and examine the various things that repel God’...

How we should show up when we are in the manifest presence of God. Is there a code of behaviour for His presence? When God is tangibly present and experienced are there any guidelines from scripture regarding how we ought to be? These are important questions for believers to answer because many have short circuited his presence because they were ignorant concerning these matters. “Our pursuit of G...

Have you ever found yourself saying, “God, I know You’re real, but I want to experience You—right here, right now”? The Bible teaches that God is omnipresent, but there are moments in Scripture—and in our lives—when His manifest presence becomes real, tangible, and transformative. Moses refused to move without it. The early church gathered until it came. Prophets, priests, and ordinary people alig...
