We are in a state of spiritual war, even if we admit it or not, and we as believers are facing a very real enemy. And this enemy called the devil uses cruel, vile, and deceptive tactics to destroy the lives of the Christians. Simply because we are serving Christ, we are a target of the devil. And the devil uses the same tactics used for thousands of years in times of war, which is to attack the home front. While we are mindful of waging spirit...

God is our Deliverance. He is not the means or the method of deliverance, but He IS Deliverance. If we want deliverance, we need God - but not an idea or the thought or the religion pertaining to God, but God Himself. We need God in our lives and we need to abide in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit to secure our deliverance and to walk in deliverance. Jesus is the Way of our Deliverance for He is the Truth and the Life. In this series, we explo...

God only wants the best for us. After all, any parent only wants the best for their children, so why would it be different when it comes to our relationship with God? God's intentions towards His children have always been good, pure, glorious and wonderful. Only the best says God for His children. God's plan and purpose for us are the BEST, and this transcends every aspect of our lives, be it our spiritual journey or our journey through life. ...

The two volumes of work on A Dangerous Church explore the call of God for the Church to take up her rightful identity as being a light-bearer, a carrier of God's glory, the deliverer of God's message of hope and the guardian of God's Gospel here on earth. As a church, we are supposed to be dangerous to the kingdom of darkness, to lies, deception, spiritual corruption and chaos. We are dangerous for the One whom we serve is greater than the one...

In this day and age of troubles, strife and calamities we need to seek, yearn and desire to burn for God by His holy and pure fire! God burns for us in love so we need to burn for Him! The fire of God is the very presence of God through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. It is the anointing and the flow of the power of the eternal and living God. The fire is also the light of God, for fire is light. God is the source of all light as an all-con...

The Church needs to urgently deal with the destructive 'isms', which include humanism, secularism, individualism, pessimism, existentialism, traditionalism, racism, and moral-revivalism to name a few. Yet the church has hardly truly countered these forces, and so struggle with their deadly and destructive influences within her own ranks, while at the same time struggling to make an impact in the world. Just as Joshua needed to drive these paga...

The word Disciple in Greek is transliterated mathetes (literally, the learning one) and is derived from the verb manthano which means "to learn". It means "one who learns instruction from another¿, or a disciple is likened to an apprentice who learns from his master tradesman. Thus, a disciple is a person that not only gains knowledge from the teacher but also acts upon it. A disciple therefore follows and a disciple learns from the Teacher. T...

God calls us all 'home', meaning to find our rest, peace, joy and love in Him. No matter what we have done or what has been done to us, we can always return to God like the prodigal son. It is never too late. God is full of compassion, mercy and grace. His love calls us home for He wants to make a home within us. For those in whom God makes a home, they shall experience His love, joy, peace, strength and contentment. One understands that for s...

Throughout the life of Jesus, He only preached Kingdom. Nothing else. In the Lord's Prayer, methods, service modules and gender inequality have absolutely nothing to do with Kingdom. Just so, in Matthew 6, as Jesus taught about praying for the Kingdom to come, He also included in His teaching (verse 33) about seeking the Kingdom and His righteousness (implying walking in His Ways) then the rest will be added (life, hope, joy, and strength and ...

King David writes in "Psalm 16:11 You will show me the path of life, In Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." As believers of God, we need to yearn, seek and desire to dwell in the presence of God, for in His presence we know God and in that knowing, we can thrive, overcome, prosper and grow spiritually. We need a cry of the heart that we need the presence of God daily for as believers of God we canno...

In the Perilous Times series of work, the last of days as spoken about in 2 Timothy 3 is closely explored and dissected. Apostle Paul writes about the last days that will be perilous, and we are certainly living in such a time. It will offer a great opportunity for the Church to fulfil the Great Commission, but it will also be a time of great danger and threats. Perilous denotes something which holds danger, thus there are things that will hap...

The Witches' Brew, Devious Gurus & Pied Piper Seducers Part 1 and 2 sketches an honest and no-holds-barred prophetic reality of the state of the Church and the dangers she faces. For make no mistake, we are living in times of great deception and apostasy, and the Church has been seduced, manipulated and tricked into believing the devil's schemes, lies and foolish wisdom and also embracing wilfully such a diabolical agenda. Ignorance is not bli...

Galatians 5 makes it clear what are the fruits of the Spirit, which include love, joy, peace and self-control. Take note we are dealing here with the fruits of the Spirit, not our spirit. So we can only develop and carry such fruit when we allow God to abide and work in us. Therefore, we have to "live in the Spirit", meaning walking in the Spirit who produces such fruit. This volume of work has been prompted for the simple reason that the chur...

This is an in-depth study guide into the Holy Spirit, who is not a mere force. He is not energy. The Holy Spirit is a person and part of the Trinity along with the Father and the Son. God is Sovereign, and just so God wills and moves according to His will. Just so, the Spirit of the Lord moves and acts never out of His own accord, but always follows the leading of the Father. So the Spirit is interdependent, as there is a mutual dependency wit...

In the Apologetics series of work, the last of days as spoken about in 2 Timothy 3 is closely explored and dissected. Apostle Paul writes about the last days that will be perilous, and we are indeed living in such a time that will offer a great opportunity for the Church but also great danger. Perilous denotes something which holds danger, thus there are things that will happen in the last of days that will pose a threat to believers, but at t...

One may wonder why counselling is linked to deliverance. Well, if you consider what counselling is all about, be it professional or pastoral or simply speaking to someone about their problems, the goal is the same - healing and deliverance. Any trauma, mental sickness, suffering or hurt is a form of a stronghold that needs to be dealt with and broken down. It is an inner storm that needs to be stilled, inner demons that need to be faced and bo...

Why talk about the heart? We read in "Matthew 22: 36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?" 37 Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and great commandment." It is that simple. We must love God WITH ALL OUR HEART. Not part of it. Not proportionally. In totality. We must be consumed by a love for God, for He is must be our first ...

Of the greatest commandment, we read in Mark 12 (NIV): "29 The most important one, " answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' We need to again place a spotlight on the word "strength". So what does it then mean to serve God with all our strength? We can also ask do we really serve and lov...
