“At night my soul longs for You,
Indeed, my spirit within me seeks You diligently;
For when the earth experiences Your judgments
The inhabitants of the world learn righteousness” (Isa. 26:9).

Fear Among the Nations
There is trepidation among the nations, and indeed there should be. Political leaders strike poses of confidence, yet express anxious whispers and dread when they are alone:

What is happening in our world? Will it get worse?

No one really knows the outcome of this time. But here is what is occurring worldwide: Over the past year the veil of deceit and subterfuge that hid the corruption in many nations is being lifted. God is exposing corruption, whether it is rooted in Wall Street or among politicians or leaders in the church. >> Read More ... >>>

The sense of privilege, that one can live without accountability either to God or to the law of man, is being judged by the Lord. There are no special people who are exempt.

God has not only called us as His redeemed people to be a "royal priesthood" (I Peter 2:9), functioning as priests to the world, but He has also called us to be His prophetic voice. We are to be His oracle ("mouthpiece") to the world system.>> Read More ... >>>

My Journey of sharing the Lord with others >> Read More ... >>>

When I was a young teenager and used to go to Church youth camps and school Christian camps we were often given talks by various adults about sharing our faith. I remember at the time being handed a booklet with the "4 Spiritual Laws" and "How to share your faith" and so on. I used to page through these booklets with such fear and sweaty palms at the mere thought of having to go and speak to anyone, using these books as a guide.

THE FRUITFULNESS OF FRIENDSHIP

We never know the joy of self-sacrifice until we abandon in every particular. Self-surrender is the most difficult thing - I will if . . . !  Oh, well, I suppose I must devote my life to God. There is none of the joy of self-sacrifice in that.

I so enjoy being able to listen to or read or watch some messages again, that God has used/is using to confront me and make serious changes  in my life in Him, but did not quite catch it all the first time or, I need reminding or I simply just want to hear it again. >> Read More ... >>>

Baie van ons vroue gaan deur n moeilike tyd.  Ek dink dit het tyd geword dat ons hande vat en vir mekaar begin bid, mekaar ondersteun en die belangrikste:  n Oor om te luister.  As ons nie met mekaar gaan praat nie, gaan ons nie van mekaar weet nie.  >> Read More ... >>>

Recently, I came across something John Wesley published during his 18th century ministry. Wesley is widely regarded as one of the most noble and anointed men since the Great Reformation. He and other anointed men were experiencing notable criticism and persecution. >> Read More ... >>>

“We need to be more tolerant” raises the important issue of tolerance and acceptance in a troubled world. We are indeed beset by the “us” and “them” mentality that underlies so much tragic conflict.

But, this underlines a common misperception of tolerance. Many place “tolerance” as the highest virtue, but do not realise that there are two distinct realms where tolerance is applied. This confusion is at the root of much damaging social decay. Firstly, we have what can be termed “belief tolerance”. This is where people accept conflicting beliefs or worldviews as equally valid, mingling truth and untruth for fear of being seen as “intolerant”. We are dragooned into accepting all sorts of conduct and laws promoting immorality in the name of this tolerance. Our painful history of personal intolerance (where white people could not accept the equality of others) is used to muddle the very notion of truth itself. >> Read More ... >>>

Conclusion: God is much more interested in your character than your abilities. When He calls you, He first works on your foundation (character) and later he starts building on top of that which is the visible building (ministry) because He knows the foundation (character) can take the storeys above. God first calls and then equips. This is sometimes opposite than how the present business world operates. >> Read More ... >>>

INTRODUCTION
From God's view, there are only two kingdoms. In one, you follow Him and obey His will and ways. In the other there is only worship of self, which is always in competition against God's ways, which are selfless. In this season we need to align ourselves to the culture of His Kingdom and not make the mistake of thinking that western "Christian" culture and Kingdom culture are necessarily the same!>> Read More ... >>>
