  • Place of Abundance

    Preached by Apostle André Pelser in Cape Town, South Africa.

    ‘As we draw near to God continually, He strengthens us to believe that our weaknesses will be turned into strength and our unbelief into strong faith. The dew of His presence and the power of His love will cause the change in us by His powerful Word.’ (Smith Wigglesworth)

    Dare to believe God will lift you up into a place of abundance beyond all you can ask or think. (Ephesians 3:20) God wants to lift you above poverty into a bountiful place of supply. He wants to open His eternal treasures to you. God puts you into a position where you are worthy to receive what He has prepared for you.

    God wants to move you to a fixed position with Him where you can no longer be moved by any situation. As children of God He wants to lead us to that place where we are also free from sin. (I John 3:1-10)

    Listen, it is God speaking to you! He looks past your weaknesses, past your human depravities, even past the faults in your character and personality and wants to lift you into a place of purity and beauty where He tells you: ‘you are lovely, my beloved!’ There is no spot or wrinkle. God blots out all our transgressions in a thick cloud and our sins and iniquities He forgives and forgets. (Isaiah 43:25)

    The Lord is gentle and easy to be entreated, without partiality. He helps us to live in the world but overcoming it. We can be master of every labor we have to perform as long as we keep our minds stayed on Him. (Isaiah 26:3) Whatever we do we do to the glory of God. (I Corinthians 10:31) Whatever work you have to do will be easier if you keep your mind stayed on the Word of God. Take a Scripture with you into your day and meditate on it continually and it will strengthen you.

    ‘I have chosen you I have ordained you, that you should go forth bearing much fruit and that your fruit should remain.’ (Interpretation of tongues)

    The God of hope gives us hope for the future: hope of sonship, hope of ministry, hope of transmitting life wherever we go. As we speak His Word it brings life. Jesus says, ‘My Word brings life.’ (John 5:24)

    God wants you to live in this world with peace, His peace. The first message the angels brought into the world to announce the birth of the Son of God, was ‘Peace on earth and good will towards men.’ (Luke 2:14) God desires you to be as much at peace as if you were in heaven.

    God wants to deliver you of all pain and sickness and rid you of all diseases. He wants you to reign over all demonic powers that attack you. (Luke10:17) God forgives all your sins and do not remember them. (Jeremiah 31:34) On the authority of your believing God’s Word I can bring you into a new place of abundant peace and joy in believing. (Romans 15:13)

    God strengthens you and give you mental strength to master evil thoughts. The devil projects thoughts at you and does not know which ones will affect you. But when you discern the work of the devil you can resist it and say, ‘get behind me Satan,’ and he has to leave.

    When difficulties and perplexities arise, we need to remember the Lord is greater that the things we face. We have to expect to see the Master’s hand work on our behalf.

    Christ was manifested to destroy the works of the devil. (Galatians 5:24) He wants to destroy sinful passions in our flesh and bring carnality to an end. He wants to defeat sin and dethrone sin. Sin shall not reign over you. (Romans 6:14)

    Believe that God is bringing you into that place where Christ reigns in you and is manifested in you. It is a place of divine abundance. It is a divine place of sublime faith where you see possibilities of all the promises like Moses overlooking the Promised Land from Mount Pisgah and seeing the large bunches of grapes.

    It is the position of a conqueror. This is a place of endowment of power. It is a place of holiness. Christ has become our holiness. (I Corinthians 1:30,31)

  • What the Bible Says About Jesus – Part 2

    By Apostle Aje Pelser

    A friend of ours in church told us how he was looking for a church when he moved to a new neighbourhood. He went from one church to another. At the one church a priest met him and asked if he was there for a bingo night. At another church the leader answered the door with a drink and a cigarette in his hand. Then he walked past a small entrance to a church that looked like a café and someone asked if: “Can I tell you what the Bible says about Jesus?” Twenty years later our friend is still functional and fruitful in that Jesus centered church!

    Here are 10 things the Bible says about Jesus:

    1. He is the Saviour of our souls. 1 John 4:14

    1Jn_4:14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world.

    2. He is the Redeemer and Passover Lamb that is slain for our sins, so that we should not die in our sins but live eternally.

    Exo_12:27 that you shall say, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice of the LORD, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians and delivered our households.’ ” So the people bowed their heads and worshiped.

    During the last supper, Jesus revealed that His body would become the Passover for his disciples to come:
    1Co_11:24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

    1Co_5:7 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.

    3. He is also the Mediator of a better and new covenant that has better promises for us.

    Heb 12:24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

    4. He is the Christ and anointed one who showed us how to get back to the Father God.

    He is the Son of God

    Mat 16:15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
    Mat 16:16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

    5. He is the source of our life and living water.

    Joh_4:10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

    Joh_7:38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”

    6. He is the bread of life and He is the Word made flesh.

    Joh_6:32 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

    Joh_6:33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

    7. He is the light of the world that shines through us

    Joh 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

  • What the Bible Says About Jesus

  • Convergence

    Preached by Apostle Aje Pelser

    Harvester Reformational Church, Cape Town

    Definition of Convergence

    The act of converging and especially moving toward union or uniformity
    Merriam-Webster
    to come together and unite in a common interest or focus
    To converge means:
    To tend or move toward one point or one another: come together : MEET
    To approach a limit as the number of terms increases without limit
    The independent development of similar characters (as of bodily structure of unrelated organisms or cultural traits) often associated with similarity of habits or environment

    Synonyms for convergence

    assemble, cluster, collect, concenter, concentrate, conglomerate, congregate,
    convene, forgather (or foregather), gather, meet, rendezvous

    Antonyms

    break up, disband, disperse, split (up)

    Converging points that release God’s Wisdom, power and glory

    Converging point of The Church

    Eph 3:8 To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
    Eph 3:9 and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ;
    Eph 3:10 to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places,
    Eph 3:11 according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,
    Eph 3:12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him.
    Eph 3:13 Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

    Everything Jesus lived for came to this point – His Church revealing God’s Manifold wisdom to the principalities and powers.

    When Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit it was because God had revealed something to babes – His young disciples who cast out demons from people echoing Satan being cast out of heaven.
    While we live in a dark world where the god of this world often holds sway, let us not forget that God is supreme and we serve Him. In becoming part of the Body of Christ, Satan’s defeat is complete in our lives and as we gather together in Jesus’ name. His pre-eminence in our midst begins to convey His decrees of His kingdom to the former ruling principalities and powers. When war is fought and won, new laws and proclamations are put in place for the citizens of the kingdom. The Church is the convergence of all God’s truth and power and when we connect by His Spirit, it releases a light
