Cornerstone Community Church Vodcast

Those who are born again are called to be children of the King. Identity, security, and significance take on a whole new meaning. In this Father’s Day message, we explore these three areas in our lives that will radically change when we become sons and daughters of the Most High!

In 1995, we had a visitation from God that lasted for about 5 months. God opened the windows of heaven over Cornerstone and it was glorious. All our programmes and planning were upended. Services lasted for 5 hours. We’ve never experienced anything like that, before or since. Then all of a sudden, it started to wane but not before we saw a 30% surge in our attendance and passion like we never had before. I’m sensing a groundswell of prayer growing again for a fresh move of God. Believers are sensing there has to be more and there is. We’re in pre-revival days, that’s for sure, but what must we do to secure revival for our church and our country?

Samuel, Saul and David are the central figures in the Book of 1 Samuel. Each of their lives is recorded for us in detail, and their interactions with one another are also intricately portrayed for us. Theirs is a treasure trove of lessons that instructs us about how we are to treat one another, and how we are to respond to those around us. The truth is – there’s an element of Samuel, Saul and David in all of us. Understanding the qualities in each of them will surely help us appropriate what God seeks to accomplish in our own lives.

We live in a world today that’s vastly different from what it used to be. The stakes are much higher and the devil is showing his hand. And he’ll walk all over us, ride roughshod on us and dictate the agenda, unless we do something about it. We must rise up against his diabolical plans. What’s needed now, more than ever before, is a prevailing company of intercessors that will ensure, through the agency of the Holy Spirit, that the Will of God is performed. We must thwart the plans of Satan. But in order to do that, we need to first become a community of intercessors, not just ordinary prayer warriors, but world-class intercessors. And we have the DNA for it.

The Book of Numbers is unlikely to be many Christians’ favourite book in the Bible. The reason perhaps is because there doesn’t seem to be a coherent subject matter. Contained within this book are two censuses that were taken some 38 years apart, a motley collection of laws, historical narratives and various instructions on how Israel was to organise herself. To observe this book as a series of unrelated episodes is to miss the point of the book itself. Numbers really gives us keys for how to order our lives aright in order to take on the calling that God has for us.

Fashion has never been a distinguishing factor in our faith. Unlike other faiths, our pastors do not have a special dress code or outfit. Yet in the Old Testament, we see an unusual command where Israel was not permitted to mix wool and linen together in their clothing. This command carries with it spiritual implications that transcends the New Testament. Discovering the meaning behind this commandment gives us insight into our priestly call as followers of Jesus Christ.
