There is nothing that takes God by surprise. Before He does anything, it is preceded by intense preparation. Before the creation of man, God prepared the earth with the resources to sustain life. He also prepared the heavens or spiritual realm to be one with the earth. After the fall of man, God said that the seed of Adam would crush the head of Satan and He has been preparing this seed throughout...

Every human being grows up disadvantaged with a wounded broken centre of gravity, fractured and having a defaced image of God – we are all in need of healing. This healing is called sanctification, a process which is geared toward the goal of perfection, maturity, the full stature and image of Jesus Christ, a life of godly love. From the moment when we first profess Jesus as our Saviour, He begins...

Walking and living in the Spirit naturally results in the Fruit of the Spirit being manifested in your life. Our walk in the Spirit and being led by the Spirit requires transformation. In view of the mercies of God we need to offer up our bodies as living sacrifices, this being our reasonable act of worship. This means the whole of our lives is to declare the worth-ship of God and exalting Christ....

The Bible differentiates between the flesh and the spirit. Old Testament living was very much in the flesh, but born-again believers, having the Spirit of Christ (or the image and likeness of God) inside of them, can live in the spirit. The likeness of God inside of us is His righteousness, His love. Walking in the Spirit and being led by Him, means that you have to fill your mind with the truth o...

The tone of our lives is of extreme importance. When a person is walking in the gifts of the Holy Spirit this should not be taken as a measure of the person’s spirituality. The gifts speak about the giver, but how much of the fruit of the Spirit is shining through someone’s character, is a true measure of growth and spirituality. However, God is constantly cultivating the garden of our characters,...

We need to have a fresh desire to exercise the prophetic, which is a powerful, vital, important and relevant gift in the Body of Christ. The prophetic gift should be used to uplift, strengthen, encourage and comfort. To operate in this gift it is essential to walk in the Spirit and one’s motive for ministering prophetically should be one of love for the people. A prophetic word often serves as a c...

The character of God is unity. There is coming a day when Jesus will be king over all of the earth, a kingdom of unity. When God created man from dust, He placed his image and likeness in him, but the first sin which man committed was trying to grab a hold of being equal with God by eating from the forbidden tree. Jesus was sent by God in the form of a man to be our Savior, the light of the word....

Jesus was really serious about his instruction that when we give to the poor, pray and fast, it should be done without fanfare and having an expectation to be honored or rewarded by people for doing it. Prayer, fasting and giving which is done in secret and with a pure heart motivation before God, are game changers in the process of seeing a prophecy fulfilled in your life. Whatever is done in sec...

The seals of the book opened in Revelation 5 were all about the plans and purposes of God for creation – choosing a man (Abraham) to bring forth a pure nation (Israel) in order to bring forth the pure seed (Jesus) as God had promised Eve in Genesis and to eventually have the whole earth saturated with His glory. This will be the dispensation of God, when heaven and earth are brought together. Isra...

In the Book of Daniel there is a description of how judgment was set and the books were opened. God judged the nations symbolised by the beasts and statue unto destruction, and the everlasting kingdom was given to the Saints of the Most High. Revelation talks about ‘books’ and ‘a book’. The ‘book’ is the book of life or the Lamb’s book of life and remembrance wherein there is an indelible record w...

When Jesus said that He was going to prepare a place in the Father’s house, He was talking about a Jewish wedding, where the bridegroom and his father would pay a bride price to the bride’s father, which meant the couple were already legally married. The father and his son would then go back to their house to prepare a place for the bride – however long that would take – while the bride remained w...

Looking at the dreams and prophecies in the Book of Daniel, it was all about what was going to happen to Daniel’s people, in other words, Israel – it had nothing to do with our day. The covenant being broken is referring to when Jesus died and the covenant God had with Israel was broken – His death was God’s release from His marriage to Israel, as well as the start of Israel’s judgment. Isaiah pro...

In Revelation 5 the Lion of the tribe of Judah came forth roaring to destroy the enemy, but the way by which He did it, was by being the lamb that was slain, enabling Him to open the scroll. In Hebrews 5 it is written about God taking away the first (the dispensation of the Law and everything pertaining to it) and to establish the second (a new city, priesthood and temple). Jesus said that after t...

Revelation 5 talks about a book or scroll which is written within and without and sealed with seven seals. The Lamb, having being slain was worthy to open this book. The moment Jesus died on the cross; the scroll began to be opened. Jesus said that it had been written about him in the volume of the book, which means that Jesus is written about throughout the whole Bible and to understand the minis...

When we look at what happened in Genesis with the building of the tower of Babel, there was great power available to people because they had the unity which came from having one language. That unity was countered by God by creating many languages. In the Book of Acts we see the Holy Spirit bringing unity by giving the gift of tongues to the Church. Tongues can be towards being interpreted, speakin...

It has been found in a scientific study done about faith and character, that there is nothing that transforms a person’s character and conducts more than the understanding of grace and faith in Jesus Christ and having learned during childhood that God is kind, merciful, and forgiving. We have all received faith as a gift from God and we use that faculty to believe God. The goal of our faith is the...

In Genesis we see that God was a gardener, having planted the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve would fellowship with God in the cool of the evening, eating from the Tree of Life (God) – Hs Words which had seed inside – and that is why they were then in the nature and character of God. When they ate the words of satan (words containing the seed of death), they were no longer the seed of God but of sata...

HE MAKES ALL THINGS NEW 4 (OVERCOMING GOD) While we are already saints, we are also in the process of sanctification or the nurturing of our nature because God is completely, relentlessly and lovingly committed to our lives. When we look at the history of Jacob, we see an example of God’s nurturing or sanctification of an individual. Even before Jacob’s birth, God had promised Rebecca, his mother...

Because of the nationwide lockdown which came through the COVID-19 virus, there was no business done, jobs were lost and a lack of finance coming into households. This is also a time of sickness and hopelessness, causing fear, doubt and destruction. The solution to all of this is to know our awesome God and to have a deep realization of everything which Jesus did for us on the cross. We need to co...

The things of faith and spirit are always invisible, but God speaks about them long before it happens. God always takes the initiative and makes the first move towards bringing new things to pass, as He is doing now. Our response to God’s initiative is faith – cause and effect. Looking at it in escalating order, the first component of our faith is to trust the Lord (move the weight of your depende...

God has got a plan for this planet and we are not stumbling along at the whim of people who are manipulating the system for their own gain. Morning is preceded by the night, a period of darkness, which can perceived as a lack of God’s presence, the lack of opportunity, a time of no word and revelation from God and of demonic activity - sin and iniquity abounding. However, God is bringing a joyful...

Heaven is an intangible realm, but Jesus is the contact between that intangible and the realm where we are. When we look at the prepositions ‘from’ and ‘in’ – the Bible says our citizenship is in heaven, where our names are recorded, so we are powerful representatives from an intangible realm in a tangible realm. Whatever God has spoken from heaven over our lives, is settled – all it requires of u...

God wants us to be prosperous for the sake of the gospel and the kingdom. However, if the issue of prosperity and financial gain is not in a right and balanced place in someone’s life, it can become a snare. Godliness with contentment is of great gain. Discontent or mal-contentment can form a major base of being offended with God as well as people who seem to be more blessed than you – true conten...

God is really good at hiding Himself during times of chaos (like now, with the COVID-19 crisis), but then the time comes when He reveals and manifests Himself, in the same way as when the Holy Spirit was hovering (incubus or incubating) over the waters during the time of creation. When God said “let there be”, that which had been in incubation by the Holy Spirit, came into manifestation. This is a...

In Genesis we see that the Spirit of God, with whom He had created man, left after the fall and that man was no longer immortal. After the fall the Spirit would come upon people for specific tasks or reasons and then leave again. In the book of Joel, he prophesied that God would pour out His Spirit on all flesh. Jesus, the last Adam, received the same Spirit of creation who now abided with Him and...
