Rise on Fire Ministries

Men, God calls you to be a man. But it looks different from what the world considers a "real man." We live in a culture that teaches men to be cowards. A culture where men are encouraged and considered "strong" when they go to hang out at a bar with friends every night, instead of coming home to a family. Or to date the same girl for years and years and years on end without ever putting a ring on...

We're married! And what a journey it was… The past year the Father has brought us through various red sea crossings and challenges where everything was about to go completely wrong unless He came through at the last moment. And He did come through, every single time. Christina and I would like to share some of that with you, how God makes promises, builds trust, and why we rejoice in these tribula...

Studies show that couples who spend more on their wedding ceremony and engagement ring are at a higher risk of divorce later in the marriage, compared to couples who spent less extravagantly on their wedding. But why? Similar to some couples who may be marrying for status, wealth, the show of a big ceremony, or the outward appearances - many think they can be a bride who marries God for the same r...

A rabbi walks through the streets of Jerusalem. As he walks to the feast, all the men and women stare and call on him: "Rabbi! Rabbi!" As he gets there, he continues to the uppermost room. Everyone stares, everyone says: "Rabbi! You are here!" And he loves to be called Rabbi. Jesus saw this over and over again, these men knew and taught the word and were highly respected. Now there's nothing wrong...

God has called us to spread the truth He has revealed to us. But sometimes it's hard, sometimes people don't listen, and sometimes it feels like it's all in vain and we'll never be "skilled enough" to see many come to Christ. But Jesus told a parable to His disciples that showed them that similar to how we water & plant a tree, yet aren't the ones to actually make it grow, we are called to pla...

Why does Africa struggle? While each country has its problems, few have the developmental problems the giant African continent faces. Africa is one of the richest continents in the world in precious metals and other resources - it has everything it needs to prosper - but why are large portions of this continent so often left behind in poverty, crime, war, corruption, racism and many other evils? A...

To marry, and whom we marry is the biggest decision in life next to deciding to follow Christ. Yet often this decision is rushed into by people who aren't both completely "sold out" to God. The marriage will seem fine at first, but soon things start crumbling. We then throw our hands to God and ask "why", yet we married someone who never truly died to themselves. Marriage is supposed to have a pri...

After multiplying the bread and fishes, Yeshua says something controversial: That Moses did NOT give them the bread from heaven, but rather it is the Father who brings forth bread from Heaven. This teaching was so controversial that much of the crowds left His audience. It can become so easy for us to get fixated on the bread that God gives to temporarily satisfy, that we miss what the bread is ac...

Haven't you heard? The end of the world is approaching yet again. As we enter the new year, the Internet is rumoured with signs of the end. But what does the Bible really teach surrounding this? What are the authentic signs we need to look out for to anticipate Jesus' return? If we do not know scripture and prophecy, we will be deceived by rumours. And if you knew scripture, you would know that it...

Let’s be real for a moment. Praying for people, reading our bibles, doing “spiritual” things isn’t always fun. In fact, sometimes there’s a lot of other things I feel like I’d rather do. But what do we do with this feeling? And what does this feeling tell us about our relationship with God? I would like to submit to you,: if you always only did everything you do for God for the excitement or fun n...

Whether it is the New Age, Paganism, Witchcraft, Yoga, Ouija Boards, Tarot Cards or consulting the dead - witchcraft is more diverse than ever before and is being accepted into the mainstream culture more and more every day, even into various churches. This is the story of a girl who travelled far and wide to receive freedom from evil spirits that have been oppressing her entire life after her dee...

The Pharisees often came against Jesus, telling Him that He is doing what is unlawful to do on the Sabbath. At first glance, it seemed like He continuously had no regard for this law. And this belief is evident in much of Christianity, where this 4th commandment has become a mere decoration on our tablets of the ten. But did Jesus really break the Sabbath? Or is there a grave misunderstanding that...

We have entered a new age of information at our fingertips like never before. But how can we sift through all the information, topics, and entertainment without falling into focussing on the things Yeshua would have never focussed on? Are we in danger of creating idols out of our favourite topics and being distracted from the most important things? For example, there is nothing wrong with investig...

Yeshua spoke of a greatest and least in the heavens in Matthew 5, but who are the "greatest"? Yeshua raised the standard of the law, by giving it meaning, filling it up with love, and walking it out properly for us to see. But did He come to throw away the foundational laws of His Father of which He raised the standard on? You see, Yeshua cannot teach that we may not look at a woman with lust beca...

Lene had an interesting journey with tattoos. After initially seeking to express who she was through getting a tattoo, she later realised it's no longer who she is after Christ came to change her from the inside out. Her new identity was brand new! It didn't need any accessory to tell the world who she was, for He who now lives in her shined brightly of His glory. And while our flesh can still tak...

God is always one step ahead of the enemy's plans, He is never caught off guard nor surprised. In the direst situations we can face, where it seems like there is no way out, that God’s promises are about to fail, and that He has forsaken us, God splits the sea and comes through at the very last moment. For at that moment, we realise that it could be nothing but God. He gets the glory and fame, and...

Tattoos are controversial. In the past, tattoos were always associated with crime, pagans, and evil. But today tattoos have become more acceptable in our culture, and have often even been encouraged by certain church cultures. But what does the Bible really teach about tattoos and what does God think about it?

Often in our journeys with God, we can fall into shame, guilt and condemnation when we don't feel like we are "good enough" or "doing enough" for God. Satan takes the opportunity to lie to us, and we listen to the wrong voice. This can be dire, for this shame actually makes us more passive for His Kingdom than anything else. But if you better understand God's character, you'll better understand wh...

The first thing God commanded Israel to ever do is to celebrate a festival as their first point of departure and set-apartness from Egypt. To eat a perfect lamb, and to share that lamb with their neighbour. Today God is presenting an end days repeat of Passover, where we are to partake in the perfect Lamb of God and to share that lamb with our neighbour. It has always been about ensuring that all...

The common process today for getting baptized is asking a pastor, joining a class, having your name put on a list, and then waiting for the next "baptism church service". But is this biblical? What does the scripture say regarding the process of baptism? You may be surprised to see it addresses this very issue of delaying baptism and takes it very seriously. Why do you wait? Rise on be baptized, t...

While we go to church for the next sermon, to the next worship event, the next evangelist speaker - while we go through the motions, we often forget an important group Jesus was sent to: The lost sheep of Israel. Paul prophesied that Christianity is to "provoke the jew to jealousy" and that it is an essential piece to the puzzle for Jesus' return. But are we as believers in the Messiah succeeding...
