“No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of Heaven.”
But there is an exception and the exception is when we count our blessings and we tell our little ones about our roots, where we came from and how God has protected us thus far.
He is not about to leave us at this stage of our lives.

They did it for him.
If he needed to go to the bathroom, they had to take him.
And he was so full of the love and…
Read MoreNow the game rangers after the fire were doing a patrol across those slopes and they came up and saw a partridge.
This partridge had been burnt by the fire.
It was lying face down with it’s wings spread out, and one of the game rangers bent down and…
Read MoreDon’t be like that old farmer who, when he wakes up in the morning, he sees the sun coming up, he says “Here comes the drought.”
And at lunchtime the black heavy clouds come over full of rain, and he says, “Here comes the flood.”
He is never happy. Don’t be like that!
Get the first milk into your system today and God will strengthen you and grow you up.
Read MoreI went out and I answered the phone.
It was my eldest son and he said, “Dad, we have got all the staff, (We had a large staff in those days. We were doing seed maize.) and they are standing outside the local store.
They are wanting to go in and purchase their groceries, and the owner of the store has said that the cheque that we issued, has bounced. There is no money left in the bank, and they are standing outside.”
Read MoreI was trying to get the spare wheel out of the back when many cars went passed us and some very, very expensive motorcars went passed at 120 plus - but an old bakkie, that is a pick-up, with a trailer behind it, was going in the opposite direction, turned around and out got Marius and Frances and their two little girls.
Read MoreI want to say to you today, it doesn’t matter about your circumstances. What matters is being obedient to God.
The Lord says, without holiness, no man will see God.
Just keep putting one foot in front of the other, doing what God has called you to do and He will see you through at the end.
Read MoreI want to say to you today, I don’t know what your situation is but lift up your eyes and remember Jesus is ultimately, completely in control of your life.
Call upon Him and He will answer you, and He will show you great and mighty things that you have never seen before.
Jeremiah Chapter 33 and verse 3 - remember, that is His telephone number. Talk to Him today.
Read MoreI remember a nursing sister telling Jill and me, many years ago, that when she goes into a ward where a man is dying who does not know Jesus Christ, it is a horrible experience.
There is grinding of teeth, anger, swearing, and absolute fear.
But when she goes into the room of a man or a woman of God who is dying, there is joy and peace, tranquillity, and a smile on their face as they look up and see the angels coming to take them to Jesus.
Read MoreBilly just preached even louder, that Jesus saves all men who would bow the knee.
The tough miner stepped up and he punched Billy in the face, knocked him off the wall.
Billy got up, full of blood all over his mouth, spat out a couple of teeth, got back on the wall, and told his friend, once again, that Jesus loves him.
The old miner stood up again and punched him off the wall.
This happened three times.
The third time, Billy stood up on the wall and he said…
Read MoreYou might be physically, spiritually, or mentally down. I want to pray the prayer of faith as the Bible says very clearly, “Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him (the sick man) with oil in the name of the Lord.”
And we are believing God for a miracle in your life today.
Father God…
Read MoreIf we look at the Book of Acts, Chapter 9 and verse 17:
“And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
I want to speak to you today about ‘behind the scenes’ workers.
Ananias was an ordinary man.
Read MoreJohn G Lake was an American evangelist that came out to South Africa, many, many years ago.
He started the Apostolic Faith Mission and the AGS Church, and he said when you get up in the morning, look in the mirror when you are getting dressed and say to the person who is facing you in the mirror, ”Wherever that man or woman goes today, God is going with them”, and then…
Read MoreHe said, “I cannot run on Sunday.”
“Why?”
He said, “because it is against my belief!”
Now, that was his personal belief, because he loved Jesus so much.
They even got the future King of England, the Prince of Wales, to try and persuade him to run for his king and his country.
He said, “My king says I will not run on Sunday.”
Read MoreGod’s will is the most important thing in your life.
This weekend, sit down quietly with a cup of tea in the garden and say, “What is God’s will for our way forward?” And you will not fail.
Read MoreAnd I called out to The Helper, The Comforter - The Holy Spirit.
And I remember, He gave me that word so clearly, “Angus, I will give you strength for the strain.”
He will not leave us deserted.
He will give us the strength we need.
Read MoreWe have to obey the authorities put in place.
But we can phone each other.
We can text each other and most of all, we can pray for each other and we can love each other.
I really believe the devil is hell-bent on trying to separate us because he wants to divide and rule, but The Lord says do not neglect the gathering of the brethren.
Read MoreAs a young man, 19 years old, I was at Agricultural College in bonnie Scotland, and in the afternoons we had to do practical work.
I was sent out with an old Scotsman, with a tractor and a trailer, and we had to go and collect silage.
And that silage was very hard to get out of the pit. We didn’t have a front-end loader as they have nowadays.
We used forks. And he backed this huge trailer up against the silage pit and he took off his jacket and he started putting the silage into the trailer.
I said to him, “Sir, please…
Read MoreDo you know that I have got a horse by the name of Snowy and that horse knows when I am not at peace? That is the honest truth.
He knows when I am agitated because when I get on his back, he can feel it, and that makes him agitated and then he becomes difficult.
Read MoreAnd at about lunchtime, midday, he got in the pick-up and he drove into the middle of the fields and he was praying there for rain, and big black clouds came over from the northwest - that is where our heavy rain comes from - and he was literally dancing around he was so happy…
