In 2 Peter 2:1-2, it is written: “But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.”

It's a fact that there are ravenous wolves in the church because Jesus Himself said so (Matthew 7:15). Sadly, some of these wolves lead big churches, have a huge following online and are leading millions astray.

Are you listening to and learning from shepherds appointed by Christ, under the authority of the Holy Spirit, who are teaching the “whole counsel of God” (Acts 20:27), “rightly dividing the Word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15) and building God's Kingdom?

OR are you being deceived by motivational speakers who tell you what you want to hear, who make you feel good, BUT are spreading fake news instead of the Good News and building their own kingdoms?

In 2 Timothy 4:3-4, it is written: “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.“

Unless we are relying on the Holy Spirit to pursue a personal relationship with Jesus and live in utter dependence on Him (John 15:5), we cannot be the Christians Jesus has called us to be.

If the Bereans “searched the Scriptures daily to find out” if what Apostle Paul taught is true, how much for should we as Christians be examining what we are watching and listening?

In Matthew 7:21-23, Jesus warns us: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”

Does Jesus know the Christian(s) you are a fan of? More importantly, does Jesus know YOU?

“So the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.” - Genesis 4:7

Does sin rule over you? When sin reigns, the self will always be out of control! 😱

It is impossible for us to rule over sin without help from the Holy Spirit, and He, the Spirit of Jesus, does not dwell in someone unless they have placed their trust and faith in Jesus!

Becoming a Christian doesn't mean that you will never ever sin. In 1 John 1:8-9, it is written: “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Turn to Jesus today, let Him become the LORD of your life so that sin can no longer lord over you. And WHEN you mess up (ad you will), confess, repent and rest in the forgiveness that is already yours in Christ! 🙌

In Romans 3:23, God's Word (the Bible) declares: “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”.

Many will insist they are a “good person” and will therefore go to heaven. This is because they are using their own definition of what is good. Would they come to the same conclusion if they were to compare themselves to God's standard?

No one can enter heaven UNLESS the penalty for their sins have been paid for, and they have been washed clean to be in the presence of God. 

In Romans 10:9, the Bible says “if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;”. There is nothing we can do to save ourselves. We need God the Holy Spirit to help us recognise we are sinners, reveal who Jesus truly is, repent and believe in Him!

However, in John 3:36, Jesus has a word of warning for all: "He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." If heaven is for those who receive Jesus, hell awaits those who reject Him!

In Ephesians 5:25, it is written: “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her”.

This week, Rob and I discuss the practical implication of this verse and how men who confess Jesus as Saviour and Lord, can be the husbands and fathers that Christ has called us to be.

We as men must stop being complacent in our walk with Jesus and strive in the strength of the Holy Spirit to be godly husbands and fathers!

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” — Genesis 1:26

For the Christian, our identity and worth is tied to this incredible truth in the Scriptures — God made us! We are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14), not a random product of chance. God has a plan and purpose for us (Jeremiah 29:11), we are not aimless. If this wasn't enough, in Christ, our sins are forgiven, and we have His peace (John 14:27) — whether we are dealing with everyday challenges or a global pandemic.

What is your identity and worth tied to? What is your purpose in life? What is your source of peace?

Every day, we need to be prepared for something or the other. Experience has taught us it is unwise to be ill prepared because of the resulting pain, costs and undesirable outcomes.

Spirit led Christians are always prepared to serve the LORD (Ephesians 2:10), share Jesus with others (1 Peter 3:15) and longing to be with the LORD our God (Philippians 1:21).

Were you prepared for this pandemic — the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual battle it has been? Are you prepared to meet your Maker?

Turn to Jesus TODAY and not only will you be saved from your sins, God's Holy Spirit will also help you be prepared for whatever happens!

While the ability to do church online in this pandemic affected world is definitely better than not having any opportunity at all to fellowship, many Christians are sadly arriving OR have already arrived at an “online church is enough for me” fallacy.

In Hebrews 10:25, God's Word exhorts us to not forsake assembling together because He wants us to encourage and sharpen each other in our walk with Jesus. This week, we share our thoughts on why its important for Christ's church to fellowship in person, if the opportunity exists.

Whether it is a global pandemic, relationship struggles, financial problems, health issues, work challenges and everything else in between, we all go through many storms in life. 

When things don't go according to YOUR plans, do you shake your fist at God in anger and turn away from Him OR do you humbly accept God's will and keep following Him? 

In Jeremiah 29:11, God says: 'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. 

Turn to Jesus TODAY and God's Holy Spirit Who will help you face every storm in life with supernatural joy, hope and peace!

It’s safe to say that the plans/decisions we make are influenced by what we know (or don't know) and who we listen to (or don't listen to). 

In the Bible, Proverbs 15:22 says "Without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counsellors they are established." 

But what if the people we seek counsel from, the so-called experts, are driven by ulterior motives? What if those whose opinion we value, are misinformed, or misguided or just plain wrong? 

Are you seeking answers from the world OR from God's Word? 

Turn to Jesus TODAY and experience God's Wisdom through His Holy Spirit!

Do you control your anger, or does it control you? 

In the Bible, we do see Jesus get angry: when He clears the temple on two occasions (John 2:13-22, Matthew 21:12-17) and when He calls out the religious leaders (Matthew 23). 

The Bible also tells us that Jesus "knew no sin" (2 Corinthians 5:21) and that He is "holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners" (Hebrews 7:26). 

We can therefore conclude that anger itself is not sin, rather, our ungodly response WHEN WE ARE ANGRY, is the real issue. 

Jesus expressed righteous anger. When we are in a right relationship with Him, with the help of the Holy Spirit, we too can keep this God given emotion in check. 

Turn to Jesus TODAY and experience what the LORD can do in and through you!
