The Passover Lamb has Come
Give Attention to the Voice of The Lord The Lord says, "'Greater love hath no man than this, than he lay down his life for his friends.' Herein is the entrance to praise! There is a way that seems right to a man, but the way of love you would not follow. For I have set thee apart this day as a land of renown. For I would reveal Myself unto thee this day says the Lord of hosts, that no man may be ashamed on that day when I take up My own. Herein is the entrance to praise!" — See John 15:13 No Lie Comes From God The Lord had promised the land of Israel by right of covenant with Him, that He would give them the Promised Land that they were about to possess. But when Balak was afraid because of the people of Israel, he sought to send a curse against them. “Then the children of Israel moved, and camped in the plains of Moab on the side of the Jordan across from Jericho. Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. And Moab was exceedingly afraid of the people...
A Gospel of Love is a Gospel of Power
Featured, Forgiveness, Salvation
When partaking of the Passover feast with His disciples on the night that He was betrayed, Jesus took the cup saying, “For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins”
— Matthew 26:28.
The Apostleship of Christ in the Church
Character, Featured, Salvation
The Apostle Paul’s words ‘imitate me’ are a hard requirement for any man. Yet in it’s entirety it remains a key statement for the apostolic ministry within the local church — for it is Christ’s ministry that He continues to work in the lives of men, yet it is not a burden that man bears alone. The people to whom Paul made this address, are the very people who came to believe in Christ through Paul’s ministry. Yet Paul instructs them, imitate me!!
Strive to Work Together in Brotherly Love
Character, Featured, Salvation
In the New Testament of the Bible, the Apostle Paul speaks on the diligent use of spiritual gifts among the brethren. Right at this time, he makes the following statement: “Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honour giving preference to one another.”
Romans 12:9 & 10
God Will Restore
God Will Rebuild What Is Exposed In a previous article “God’s vision is for all” – Isaiah 54:1–10 reveals how the prophet Isaiah spoke prophetically to the Jews. He addresses three types of people, representing three different spiritual states – the spiritually barren; the widowed; and the wife who feels deserted and distressed. Through Isaiah, God gives them many powerful promises for what He is about to do in their lives in the future. This passage is also true for us as believers in Christ today and our restoration happens as we continue to look to him. The remainder of Isaiah 54 uses the analogy or picture of an afflicted city, without comfort and lashed by storms. During a storm, buildings are often Stripped of their outer coverings or facades so that their internal structure is exposed, and The strength of their foundations determines whether they are still able to stand. This can also be like us, when we have been broken down by sin or life’s trials. And just like the facades...

The Creative Power of Words
Restoration, Salvation, Spiritual Warfare
If the Holy Spirit quickens or ‘brings to life’ His rhema word, or the ‘now’ spoken word of God for a particular situation; what that rhema word of God reveals as God’s intention – those are the words we are to speak!

Time can represent a set time for a particular purpose or the season of opportunity appointed by God for His purposes to be fulfilled!
A Gospel of Love is a Gospel of Power
Featured, Forgiveness, Salvation
No Greater Love In the Apostle Paul’s Epistle to the Romans, Paul said, “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to Salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.” Romans 1:16 The Gospel of Christ is a Gospel of power because it is a Gospel of love. Therefore, our love walk must come first. It was Christ Jesus Who said, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” John 15:13 That is exactly what Christ did and it is the example that all believers in Christ must follow. “When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He (Jesus) said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the Gospel’s will save it.” Mark 8:34 & 35 Many Will Stumble at These Words For those who refuse these words, the message of the Gospel...

Entering God’s Rest
A Day Like Any Other Day A day like any other day can change the rest of your life! It was on a day like any other day that God said to Abram: “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you”(Genesis 12:1). It was on a day like any other day that God prophesied over Abram: “I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you” (Genesis 12:2 & 3). A day like any other day became a day unlike any other day because Abram had an encounter with the living God! It was on a day like any other day that God spoke and Abram obeyed! A day like any other day for Abram became a day unlike any other day and changed the course of history.....because he heard the Word of the Lord, he trusted Him and he obeyed! A day like any other day can change the rest of your...

The Kingdom of God is Near — Part Two
In the book of Genesis in the Bible, at the time that God made His covenant with Abraham that He would give the Israelites the promised land, the promise was for Abraham and his seed. As a sign of that covenant, the Lord had instructed Abraham, for each male to be circumcised on the eighth day of his life. “This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.

Entering Into Freedom – Part One
We Need Faith to Walk in The Promises of God God wants every believer in Christ to walk in the fullness of the promises contained in His Word. The writers of Hebrews and James warn us however, that if we do not have faith, we will not receive the things that He has promised. “For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it” . (Hebrews 4:2) “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double–minded man, unstable in all his ways”. (James 1:6–8) The writer of Hebrews cautions us that like the Israelites who wandered in the desert and who did not enter into the Promised Land; If we fail to believe, neither will we enter into the promises of God. “So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief”. (Hebrews 3:19)...
