Super Salvation Sunday

Salvation can never be overstated. It is the possession of God and therefore supernatural in its origin, power and its effects on the human heart and life. Salvation is imparted to man by an act of God’s divine grace through faith and a believing heart.

The Strongman’s Gospel

The Christian Life is not for the Lilly livid, pathetic, insipid and flaccid individual who persists in doing life, moving 10,000 tons of gravel with a puny shovel.

The believer in Christ is “Called Up” and placed in the hot seat of a D9 dozer with twin steer. Your co-pilot is Jesus Christ and He says “Now Drive.” Now seated with Him in heavenly places with God all things become possible. Now that is what I call smart!!!

Jerusalem, A Cup That Sends All Reeling.

God is dealing, even in the current time, with the nations of the earth, as they gather around Jerusalem to seek its demise. But it is God who is drawing these nations into the valley of judgment.

The Jewish people continue to make “Aliyah” or to ‘Go up’ to Jerusalem to return to their historical homeland incurring global hostilities. It is in fact the nations and peoples that oppose Israel, who will incur God’s judgment, for it is His desire and plan that they do so. Jerusalem is a burdensome stone that will send many reeling.

“The Gospel.” The Main Event.

Jesus said to “Go out into all the world and preach the gospel.” The ministry, the messenger, the denomination, the method, style, and way of delivery, are all absolutely secondary to the gospel itself. When Billy Graham packed the MCG in 1956, 144,000 people attended and many gathered outside the venue. Billy Graham was however not the main event but his message was!!!

Becoming Part Of History:

Daniel is Reading the Scriptures that foretell that Israel would be in Babylonian captivity for a period of seventy years. His heart begins to pound as he realises the time of her deliverance is near. His response after Reading the Prophecy was To Fast, To Pray, and although one of the most righteous and exemplary of men, Confessed His Sin And The Sin of the people which resulted in their captivity.

The angel Gabriel interrupted his prayer and gave him a further prophecy and time line until the end of the ages. Daniel did not display a casual “God is sovereign; she’ll be right mate attitude.” Engaging in prayer to God and His plan for the ages, Daniel Became Part Of History and a great influencer of it.

The Desert Blooms Again

Isaiah 35 has only ten verses which speak of a time when the wilderness, the wasteland and the desert, will once again blossom abundantly. It also speaks of not just the physical restoration of the land, but also the personal restoration of the people.

The eyes of the blind will be opened, the ears of the deaf unstopped, the lame shall leap and the tongue of the dumb will sing. This is the heart of the Gospel message. This passage of scripture finds its complete fulfilment in the promised Messiah. Turn to Jesus today and see your desert bloom again!

Rise, He Is Calling You!

In the Gospel of Mark’s fast paced narrative, blind Bartimaeus is taken from begging on the side of the road in the lowest city on earth, to following Jesus on the elevated road to the city of the Great King, and all in seven verses.

When hearing that Jesus was in town, blind Bartimaeus saw with the eyes of faith and cast aside his begging clothes and his dismal past. He didn’t phone a friend, but he did call passionately out to Jesus. Try it today! You will be surprised how much you will see!!!

That None Should Perish (2)

How do we respond to those who reject the divine love of God and His greatest gift to them, His only begotten Son? The disciples, James and the apostle of love John, only days before, been given divine power and authority, said to Jesus “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did? 

How did Jesus respond? What a great idea, why didn’t I think of that? No. Jesus however said in Luke 9:56 “For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” It is always the will of God that none should perish. Period.

In 52 Days

In 445 BC Jerusalem, its walls and gates were in ruins. The people were little better and were being governed by foreign parties in collaboration with the corrupt local elites. The future looked mighty dismal and the people were distressed. Could they survive?   

Can one man make a difference? Nehemiah, the cupbearer to the king of Persia too, became distressed when learning of the state and condition of Jerusalem and its plight. Leaving the prestige, position and the lifestyle of the palace for Jerusalem, he encouraged the people to rebuild the walls and gates, to secure their homes and families again. Under immense intimidation and threats to their personal lives they rebuilt in 52 days for God was with them.
