The Heart of a Worshipper
John 4:21-24 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit an
Reinstating Huios
At the onset I would like to say, when we share a message on New year’s day it is not some celebrity magic word. We believe the Lord speaks all the time. He works in times and seasons. He does work very specifically in each of our lives and corporately too. One of the most important postures as a child of God is to seek His heart. As we were mentioning on Christmas day about the 3 magi who came from afar seeking diligently the ‘King of the Jews’. They were focussed, determine
Train Your Eyes to See in the Spirit
The month of Tevet is for training the “spirit man eye” to discern, understand, and run with the vision received through the lens of God’s Word . Without that spiritual vision (Proverbs 29:18), believers are unable to discern truth deeply. God’s Word enables believers to respond thoughtfully instead of impulsively to what they observe and experience. Practice extended times of soaking in God’s Word. It cultivates clarity and wisdom in navigating life’s challenges. The church
Season of Light Season of Miracles
‘Galilee of the Gentiles’ – Place of Light & Miracles! When you think of Christmas, what comes to mind? One word? Red & white? A Star? A manger? A baby? Hopefully not Santa! If you have been in church and to church a few times or many times or even if this is your first time you have heard the Christmas story. World over the nativity scene is unavoidable. One question – Where was Jesus born? Bethlehem. Do you know where Jesus grew up? What do you associate more with the place
Glory in the Making!
A sermon on Believers progress to glory through humility, dying to self, burial of sin, and resurrection power, emulating Christ's path (Hebrews 2, Romans 6-8)
The Exodus
1. Intro There is a change in season. If we just lift our eyes above the nitty-gritties of life and see – we’ll see there is a season shift not just for the people of God i.e the global Church, but also in the politics of the world, the international trade and business, the geographical structure of countries - everything is suddenly changing. This change I believe, isn’t a passive / gradual one – it’s swift, sudden and almost aggressive in nature. This season is like an
The Timing of God
Romans 8:28-30 We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose. 29 For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be moulded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn
The Church as an Assembly
Ephesians 1:22 “(God) put all things under (Jesus’) feet and gave (Jesus) to be head over all things to the church.” The Greek word translated “church” in Ephesians 1:22 is ecclesia. The noun ecclesia is derived from a verb that means “to call out.” The concept of a group of people that is formed by being called out from a larger group of people. It is also a group called out for a special purpose, which applies to the church. In contemporary secular Greek of New Testament ti
Parable Of Lost Coin
Ask the Holy Spirit to show you your ‘lost coins’ that you need to be aware of? Is it you? The Spirit of God himself finds sinners, and we the ecclesia are the instrument of their recovery and destiny.
Serving God's Purposes in our Generation
As the God of the Bible progresses to the next significant chapter in His narrative, a question that should deeply concern us all is: where do we fit in this story? How do we live and fulfill God’s purposes in our generation? This generation needs father figures. This generation of children needs to walk in our footsteps, not in our shadow. When the fathers take their position, the sons will also take their place in the kingdom of God. Fathers (and mothers) do not only reprod
Rule in the Midst of Your Enemies
Spiritual Warfare in the Public Square Ephesians 6:12 - For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. In biblical times, the public square (sometimes called broad place, marketplace, or city gate area) was more than just an open space in a town. It was the center of community life, both socially and legally. The public square was the centra
Spiritual Warfare- Work Hard Stay Humble
What do you do when you have prayed, fasted, and quoted every Scripture you know but there is still no progress in a life or given situation? We must recognise that there is a spiritual war that is ongoing, and there is an enemy that wants to disrupt and derail the purposes of Christ and His church here on earth. We know that sin brings brokenness in lives which affects not only those in the church, but in the world. When believers walk in disobedience, doors are opened to th
A Season of Victory
We are in the year 5786, the year that connects what went before and what is coming ahead. In other words, it is a year where the dots you struggled to connect will begin to connect. It is a year where you and I must make room for heaven to bring its resources to earth, and for earth to respond to heaven. A bit like what Jacob experienced in Genesis 28, when he saw something like a ladder from heaven to earth with the angels of God ascending and descending on it. It is a year
A Sheer Gift
In life, every one of us will walk through that tunnel of voices, where we are tempted to respond to the voices of greed, of lies, gossip, betrayal, lust. The epistle of James has a word for all believers this morning: James 1:2-4 “Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colours. So do not try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do i
Twelve Covenant Mercies
Covenant- the basis of relationship between God and man: In this message, we consider the covenant mercies of God towards man. These twelve covenant mercies (these are not exhaustive) if rightly understood will strengthen the prayer life and mission of the church. As watchmen, it is our duty to watch and pray for covenant alignment both in our lives as well as in the lives of those around us. First, a brief word on covenant: A covenant is a relationship sovereignty initiated
His Presence in Every Season
Psalm 139: David, a man after God’s own heart composed this psalm to the chief musician.
Watchmen Arise!
In this teaching, watchmen refer to all believers in Christ. Watchmen play a significant part in ushering in the kingdom of God on the earth. What is watching? Once you have prophetic revelation (or insight) you have the responsibility to watch over it In Genesis 2:15, God instructed Adam and Eve to tend and maintain the garden of Eden. The word "keep" is derived from the Hebrew word shamar , which means "to exercise great care over." This suggests that God did not merely wat
High Praises – Psalm 149
Psalm 149 is one of the last 5 Psalms in that book and they all start and end with Praise the Lord or Halleiluyah! It is usually called one of the "Halleiluyah" Psalms. Some call it "The Psalm of the Sword." Another writer called it a lively song of triumph. We are going to study this psalm in-depth. So brace yourself! Psalm 149:1 - " Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the godly!" In Hebrew the opening words, "Praise the Lord," look li
