One becomes increasingly more aware of society and culture alienated from God, worshipping self and its own creations.  People are intoxicated with self, pleasure, feeling good, and doing what is right in their own eyes. Rom. 1:21–24   THERE IS A PROPHETIC CALL IN THE SPIRIT TO AWAKEN! Awake to righteousness, and do not sin (NKJV)  1 Cor 15:34 Wees nugter op die regte manier, en sondig nie; want s...

Om moeg te word is deel van die lewe en deel van menswees. Mens raak moeg. Ons moet egter oppas wanneer ons moeg is. Essau verkoop sy geboortereg omdat hy so moeg is: Gen 25:29; Heb 12:16   Moegheid is een van die snellers van verslawing. Boredom, Magteloosheid, Passive retaliation, nuuskierigheid. Wanneer jy moeg is, is jy kwesbaar en meer blootgestel. Daarom kan jy nie daar vertoef nie.   Emosio...

Dimensions of the role of a Pastor  A Pastor has so many roles to play. He must bless little children, marry young couples, bury the dead, comfort & encourage, exhort, teach, train, set example, be strong for others to lean on, handle finances expertly, humbly accept what people are willing to give, pray for the congregation, counsel them, listen to their problems and find solutions, hear from...

Hierdie boodskap bied ‘n in diepte kykie agter die teologiese skerms na die plekkie Gádara, en die behoefte van gewone mense na vrede.

Scripture reading: Exo 14:12 The former quick-tempered Moses patiently answered the people's hasty accusation with three directives to meet this emergency:  (1) "Do not be afraid" The word to the patriarchs, Gen 15:1; 26:24; and to Israel as they possessed the land, Josh 1:9; 8:1) (2) "Stand firm" and see the salvation, i.e., the "deliverance of the LORD" for &qu...

Vandag is daar op soveel mense ‘n geweldige appèl vir identiteit, en in hierdie soeke is daar soveel verwarrende stemme. Wat is my identiteit? Wat ontwikkel my identiteit? Wat as ek geen idee het wie my familie is nie is ek dan verlore, met ‘n verlore identiteit?   Ap Jan Oosthuizen neem ons terug na ‘n Bybelse Goddelike bestemming eerder as goedkoop wisselende illusie van identiteit.

The Bible is a book about broken people, causing broken relationships, and hence breaking the environment being redeemed to their creational purpose. Once our connection with God is restored, we learn to begin to love ourselves in an appropriate way, spilling over in love towards others, bring healing and restoration to the world we live in. So essentially the Bible and it’s message is about CHANG...

Wanneer 'n top atleet in een dissipline uitstyg en hy/sy besluit om 'n ander sportsoort te probeer, verander so 'n atleet se lewe radikaal, van die nuwe dieet to 'n splinternuwe oefen program en leefstyl as te ware. Die vraag is hoekom dink ons om Jesus te volg so eenvoudig is soos die druk van 'n knoppie wat ons gereeld doen wanneer ons mense op Instagram en Twitter volg.

'n Belangerike verhaal oor die belangerikheid om nader in verhoudings te leef!

There is a peace that comes from ignorance, and there is a peace that comes from a knowing. Peace has been called a pearl and rightly, for it is precious and smiles with soft, mild radiance bedecking the heart that wears it. It is, indeed, a pearl of great price—he that has it has more than riches. If his peace is, in very deed, the true pearl, he who wears it in his breast is one of the favored s...

Matthew 22:29 (Die Bybel 1933/1953) 29 Toe antwoord Jesus en sê vir hulle: Julle dwaal, omdat julle die Skrifte nie ken nie en ook nie die krag van God nie.

Afgodery, Sonde, Redding en Post-Modernisme Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. 1 Corinthians 10:14 #Definition of IDOLATRY: image-worship or divine honour paid to any created object. #Paul describes the origin of idolatry in Romans 1:21-25 : men forsook God, and sank into ignorance and moral corruption ( 1:28 ). When we shrink God, imagining that it is His job to serve our tribal as...

Lord you want to partner with us, our prayers, Your answers. Our works Your grace. Our possessions your blessing. Our obedience your call. Our weakness, Your strength. This is a great mystery. I pray help us to make this sacred partnership more seamless and flowing, reciprocal, intimate, and natural. In the same way, Jesus could do nothing without the Father; we can do nothing without the Holy Spi...

Moses, die dienaar van die Here, is dood. Daarna het die Here met Josua, seun van Nun, begin gepraat. Hy was vroeër die assistent van Moses. Die Here het vir hom gesê: 2“Noudat my dienaar Moses dood is, moet jy gereedmaak om my volk deur die Jordaanrivier te lei na die land toe wat Ek vir die Israeliete gee. 3Soos Ek vir Moses belowe het, sal Ek elke plek waar julle kom vir julle gee. 4Alles sal j...

“PRAYER is nothing else but the application of the heart to God, and the interior exercise of love. Paul commands us to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thess. 5:17).” Excerpt From A Short Method Of Prayer Jeanne Marie Bouvier de la Motte Guyon Ons het soms so baie om te vertel, so ingestel op ons behoeftes, dat ons nie luister nie. God wil hê ons moet luister, en dan met Hom praat oor wat Hy oor wil pra...

Mark Twain het gesê dat die kerk bestaan uit goeie mense wat staan voor goeie mense en hulle leer om goeie mense te wees. Dank God dit is nie die waarheid nie, maar wel ‘n perspektief op godsdienspleging. Die ware kerk bestaan nie, om mense net beter te maak nie. Die kerk verkondig Jesus Christus, die algehele transformasie van die mens! Die kerk se primêre besigheid is: Transformasie en veranderi...

We see the unseen. We subdue by submitting. We win by losing. We are made grand by making ourselves little. We come in first by becoming last. We are honored by being humble. We fill up with God by emptying out ourselves. We become wise by being fools. We possess all things by having nothing. We wax strong by being weak. We find life by losing ourselves in others. We live by dying. Paradox is neve...

Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! (Ps 68:19) "Carpe diem" "Remember that you are mortal, so seize the day." "enjoy the moment" "enjoy, seize, use, make use of" ואם לא עכשיו, אימתי 'And if not now, then when?' (Pirkei Avoth 1:14) The ability to fast-forward music and movies tempts us to think that we ca...

Changing the Magnetic Polarity of Your Heart Human beings have a natural attraction to sin—much like magnets of opposite polarity. In order to overcome, we we must change our spiritual magnetic polarity! Have you ever played with magnets? Put the opposite poles of two magnets together and they attract. Put the like poles of two magnets together and they repulse. Put them close enough together with...

The anointing is the Spirit of Christ in a corporate meeting. Mense gebruik gewitte om mee te oefen en om sterker te word. Die pakdiere wat destyds mense se goedere gedra het, kon nie hulself van die las op hul rug bevry nie. Hulle kon nie hul swaar vragte bereik nie, maar hulle was van ander afhanklik om die las te verwyder. Dit geld ook vir ons as ons die gewig van ons emosionele bagasie dra. On...

( Joh. 19:23 ) En toe die soldate Jesus gekruisig het, neem hulle sy klere en maak vier dele, vir elke soldaat ’n deel en die onderkleed; maar die onderkleed was sonder naat, van bo af in een stuk geweef. Definisie van naatloos:  Ons praat van ’n roman se naatlose storielyn. Of naatlose, vry vloeiende optrede; ’n naatlose uitvoering. Glad, aaneenlopend, eenvormig in kwaliteit: ’n naatlose samevoeg...

Identiteitsdiefstal is nie net ‘n fisiese probleem of elektroniese misdaad probleem nie, die ‘n wesenlike geestelike krisis! Mense weet nie wie hulle bestem is om te wees nie. Mense maak en vorm hulle eie idee van wie hulle is, en mis sodoende hulle Godgegewe roeping en skeppingsdoel. Sonde is identiteitsdiefstal – jy is na God se beeld geskape. Gen 1:27 | Rom 8:29 . Sonde: “Hamartia” – Verkeerde...

Apostel Jan Oosthuizen gesels oor die verantwoordelikheid wat gelowiges moet neem om herstel en restourasie in hulle eie lewens tot stand te bring asook in die wêreld rondom ons. Besoek gerus ook www.hrco.co.za vir inligting oor Harvester 

Mense is moeg vir kerk, waar die bestaan van kerk sentreer om mense gelukkig te hou binne die kerk. Mense soek ‘n missie, ‘n meer sinvolle rede vir bestaan. Sommige bedieninge wil nie sê hulle is ‘n kerk nie, want die konnektasie herrinner hulle aan die organisasies en sisteme van ‘n mens. Jy kan egter nie die Bybelse riglyne en bloudruk vir kerk gebruik en daarvolgens leef en handel as jy nie sê...
