Empowering the Believer


AN ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE

AN ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE

The fifth chapter of Jeremiah ends with a thought provoking statement in verse 31 – "...and My people love to have it so. But what will you do in the end?" The preceding chapters speak of the disobedience of the Judean people, such having turned their backs on God. Trapped...

THE LINK

THE LINK

As witnesses for Jesus, believers are compared to salt in Matthew 5 v 13. "You are the salt of the earth," Jesus proclaims. What an interesting comparison! Why would Jesus specifically refer to Christians as salt? When one considers the uses of salt – it has over 14 000... »

DANGEROUS DREAMS

DANGEROUS DREAMS

Dreams have a powerful influence on the dreamer. Both children and adults alike are encouraged to dream, such giving the individual purpose and direction. Indeed, as a Christian, dreams are likewise encouraged, the Bible itself promoting such – "Where there is no vision, the... »

BELIEVE AND RECEIVE

BELIEVE AND RECEIVE

Surely, for all the promises of God in Him are Yes and in Him, Amen (2 Cor 1 v 20). And so, dear friend, I encourage you to believe! Believe and Receive! How easy our God makes it for us to receive both salvation and every other promise He had given us in His word. We all have the ability to... »

QUALITY VERSUS QUANTITY

QUALITY VERSUS QUANTITY

In Romans 2 v 16, Paul speaks about God judging the secrets of men through Christ Jesus. Secrets are by definition not apparent to all. Such secrets must certainly include the selfish motives hidden beneath even the most righteous and charitable of deeds. »

The first miracle performed by Christ is of an interesting nature. We read the well-known story in John chapter 2, the tale of water being turned into wine. The question that has always burned in my heart, is why Christ chose this particular act to be His first miracle? »

JOYFULLY STEADFAST

JOYFULLY STEADFAST

In the Gospel of Luke 1 v 46 – 55, we read how Mary rejoices in the knowledge that the Saviour of the world had been conceived in her womb. "For He who is mighty has done great things for me," she cried, celebrating the goodness of God. At that moment in history, Jesus had... »



STRIVING FOR JESUS

STRIVING FOR JESUS

A portion of Scripture that never fails to arrest my attention is Colossians 3 v 22 – 24 (NIV): "Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favour, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.... »

REDEEMING JUSTICE

REDEEMING JUSTICE

I would like to expound on the meaning of ‘just’.  The word in the original Greek text is dikaios , which can be translated as ‘righteous’ or ‘just’.  It comes from the root word dikē meaning ‘justice’ .  What this verse... »

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

Sitting at the airport waiting for my flight home to Cape Town. What a wonderful week it has been! Having ministered both at a crusade in Ebony Park as well as at the youth services of Rhema Bible Church, the realisation that believers are desperately hungry for God-encounters... »
