Praise and Power in the Silence of the Night

Psalm 4:8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for you, Lord, only make me dwell in safety. My dear brothers and sisters, let us reflect on the power of praising God and casting down devils, even in our sleep. The Bible invites us to meditate on God's word day and night (Joshua 1:8), suggesting that our praises and spiritual warfare do not end when our eyes close to sleep. God watches over us in our slumber, and our spirits remain engaged in an unseen battle against darkness.   Psalm 42:8 proclaims, "By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me — a prayer to the ..read more

Isaiah 65:17 "For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind." Let us consider an unconventional topic, something that seems more suited for science fiction than Christian devotionals. Yet, in our rapidly changing world, it is a subject that demands our attention – the role of Artificial Intelligence and technology in furthering the Kingdom's work and ministry.   The scriptures teach us, "Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert ..read more

Joel 2:25 (SKJV) "I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm. My great army that I sent among you."   Today, I am moved to speak with you about the significance of time and the precious opportunity God has blessed us all with to redeem it. Time, brethren, is a gift that the Almighty Creator has given upon us, equitably and impartially. Every tick of the clock is a blessing, an opportunity, and a responsibility to make our lives resonate with the rhythm of God's purpose for us. It is important for us to realise, howeve ..read more

Nourishing the Flock and Feeding God’s Sheep
Faithful Writing

5M ago
1 John 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed, and in truth.   Today let us consider an important theme our faith journey, 'Feeding God's Sheep.' This message hails from John 21:15-17, where Jesus, after his resurrection, asked Peter, "Do you love me?" When Peter affirmed his love for Jesus, Jesus did not merely accept his words but instructed him, "Feed my sheep."   These words hold profound implications for us today, for it is through them that Christ calls us to care for one another actively. He encourages each one of us to nourish, sustai ..read more

Anchored in Adversity: Encouraged by God's Promise

Isaiah 43:2 (SKJV) When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; nor shall the flame kindle on you.   In every corner of the world, in every life, there comes a time of storm and struggle. It is then we need encouragement, seeking solace in the hope of better days. Yet, the world can often seem more adept at instilling discouragement than faith. But fear not, for we must remember we are dwelling in the palm of God's hand, guided by His love, and protected by His promise ..read more

Unfolding Love: The Heart of Marriage and Family

Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it Today I wish to speak on a topic of deep significance – one that rests at the core of our day-to-day lives. It is love; specifically, the love we show towards our spouse and our family. The Bible speaks profoundly about love. It tells us that "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins" (1 Peter 4:8).   The Bible commands us to love unceasingly, unconditionally, and unfailingly, just as our Heavenly Father loves us. Not least of all our enemies, so how m ..read more

Authenticity, not Hypocrisy: Walk in Truth and Light

Romans 2:1 Therefore, you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are, who judges: for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge do the same things.   My dear brothers and sisters, today, we seek to explore the scripture and the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ to guide us on the important matter of avoiding double standards and hypocrisy. This is an admittedly complex topic, but our faith can provide illuminating insights. We turn to the Holy Word of God in Matthew 23:27-28 where Jesus admonished the Pharisees: "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you ..read more

Psalm 119:89 For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.   Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Today, we will delve into a captivating topic that has both historical and spiritual implications. Our discussion will centre around the evolution of English language and how it has impacted the way we understand and interpret the Holy Scriptures.   Language, like all things temporal, is subject to change. English, as we know it today, is not the English of yesteryears. The meanings of many words have evolved, some subtly, others profoundly, since the ..read more

Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man that does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.   Dear beloved, I greet you all in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Today, I want to share with you a message on a topic that is quite pertinent. In our lives, we often encounter individuals who engage in wickedness, those whose actions may be contrary to the teachings of our faith. Such encounters can be challenging, especially when we strive to live according to God's Word. However, it is essential to remember that our responsibility t ..read more

Loving our Enemies and Making Peace

Romans 5:8 But God commends his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.   I stand before you today to share a profound message that is profoundly counterintuitive yet extraordinarily transformative. It is a message that holds the power to change our lives and our world – the divine call to love our enemies and make peace. This principle that is rejected by the logic of the world is rooted in the supernatural spirit of our Christian faith, inspired by the teachings of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.   It might seem almost impossible in a world where vengeanc ..read more
