Do you remember that little band that we used to put on our wrists? What would Jesus do? WWJD? I had one on my wrist until it literally fell off, eventually. Let us today be careful who we speak to and who we turn away because we might even be turning away an angel.
Read MoreThe Lord says, “Do not be unevenly yoked.”
What does that mean?
It means a believer cannot marry an unbeliever. Why? Because oil does not mix with water and darkness with light.
You say, “But I will get him to come through for The Lord when I marry him” or, “I will bring her to The Lord when I marry her.”
No, you won’t! The chances are it will be the other way round.
Read MoreYou see, the Word of God is actually Jesus, Himself in print.
That’s right. If we go to 1 John Chapter 5 and verse 7, the Word of God tells us that there are three who bear witness in Heaven: The Father, The Word, and The Holy Spirit.
So who is the Word? Yes, the Word is Jesus.
Read MoreThis morning, very, very early, I received a most beautiful letter from the United States of America, from a young man who I am mentoring.
It stirred me up so much. And in the letter he wrote, he said little boys with big dreams don’t always materialize.
They don’t always turn out the way we expected them to and we feel like failures so often.
Read MoreYou know, I love the simplicity of children and we really need to give them time folks, because they can teach us so much. I can’t wait to see my grandchildren every day. They live all around us and they are such a blessing to me. They teach me so many things. You know, as a preacher, I always…
Read MoreTo me, those parents are very cruel because that little boy or that little girl has got no discipline in their lives and when they go to school they think they can just do what they like, and sometimes it takes the other little boys and little girls, to prune that child and it is extremely painful…
Read MoreHe wants to talk with us, He wants us to tell Him our plans. He wants us to ask Him advice and He wants us to tell Him how much we love Him. He loves us very, very much - so much that He gave His only begotten Son to die on the Cross of Calvary so that we might be saved.
Read MoreYou see, Jill and I have succumbed to Covid19. That’s right.
We were afflicted, 67 days in self-isolation, and five tests later, we eventually were negative.
But you see, my dear friend, we can understand how people feel who have COVID 19…
Read MoreAnd then tears filled his eyes. He said, “Son, it is not because of you. It is because of your mother because when I was a little boy, my mother died early, and your mom became a mother to me. I am doing it for her.”
Read MoreI remember as a brand spanking new Christian, I was so excited that I had met Jesus. I said to Jill (she was a young girl in those days. Our children were all babies. I have 5 children), I said to Jill, "I feel I want to give the farm away. I want to go to Bible College and then I want to become a pastor”. And Jill, you can imagine, was a little bit concerned about…
Read MoreOn the farm, Shalom, we have a thirty-foot cross and when the sun goes down, we have a time switch, and the lights come up. We are not ashamed to tell the world that anything good that has happened on this farm, is due to the Glory of God and nothing to do with ourselves.
Read MoreYou see the heavy rain had softened the soil and when the hail came, the whole crop fell down but it didn’t break. It just lodged.
And when the sun came out, the crop stood up again. Oh yes! Those stalks had a permanent bow in them right until we reaped it but we reaped a bumper crop.
You must put your trust in Jesus.
Read MoreI really believe with all my heart the greatest opportunities that we have ever had are about to be given to us at this time, but we need to step out by faith, and we need to obey what God has said.
Read MoreOne night, the hall was full. We had about a thousand people there and there was a heckler.
He was sitting at the back. He had had too much to drink and he started to challenge me all the time.
Every time I said something, he would say, “Can you prove that preacher? Where does it say that in the Bible?”
But you know…
Read MoreI walked into the kitchen just now to see Jill, and she was pulling out a beautiful tray of freshly baked rusks and they smelled delicious.
And she made those rusks, not because she had to but she made them because she loves me, and I want to tell you that Jesus loves you so much that He died for you and he chose you.
Read MoreToday go out and love people.
That is what people need.
There are so many people who are lonely, fearful, tired, lost - just tell them that Jesus Christ loves them so much that He died for them.
Read MoreThat is how I was converted - not by a fancy sermon but by people getting into the pulpit, one after the other and just telling us what Jesus meant to them - farmers, housewives, building contractors, accountants, lawyers, tears streaming down their faces, just giving their story.
Read MoreBut I want to tell you, in my humble opinion, the greatest devotional that has ever been written was written by Oswald Chambers, and it is called, “My Utmost for His Highest.”
Now, listen to this: It was written in 1917 - one hundred years ago, and it is still probably the most popular devotional in the world today.
But you know something? It wasn’t actually written by Oswald Chambers.
Read MoreThere is nothing worse when you are trying to drive a herd of cattle in one direction and one of them normally at the top, resists and turns the other way.
It is painful for that animal and it also slows the work down.
Stop fighting against God.
Read MoreI don’t know how you are feeling at the moment with the lockdown.
Maybe you have been retrenched?
Maybe you are unemployed?
Maybe you are trying to make ends meet?
I know of a young man who has had to sell his motorcar in order to buy food for his family.
Maybe in your business, you just haven’t got any customers? No-one is buying your product.
Maybe you are trying to work out how are you going to pay the school fees?
How are you going to put food on the table…
