Rule Over Sin

  "You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.” Genesis 4:7 (NLT) The story of Cain and Abel is a well known one. These brothers each brought an offering to the Lord, one was accepted and the other not. Having his offering being rejected caused Cain to become angry. He couldn't believe that God would reject what he had presented, pride was at the root of this anger and God gave him the opportunity to not allow this to over take him. In asking Cain why he was angry, the Lord wanted to show him the danger that lay ahead if he gave into what he was feeling.  The Lord made it clear that he was justified in his rejection of Cain's offering because it was not done well. We see in Hebrews 11:4, that Abel offered his offering in faith and in Genesis 4:4 it states that Abel offered the firstborn of his flock.  The Lord warned Cain o...

Light Within The Dark

He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him,      thick clouds dark with water. Out of the brightness before him      hailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds. Psalms 18:11-12 God was hidden from sight within the darkness of the clouds, but even there he still shinned bright. Verse 12 says that the brightness was before him, meaning that though he was covered by dark clouds, for him it was still bright. He still commanded all that was around him, verse 12 also refers to the clouds as being his, God wasn't overcome in darkness, he put the clouds there to hide himself. We don't always see what God does, sometimes the trials of life can be like a canopy and at other times God hides himself. This is when we need to put our faith into action and know that he is still in control. In these two verses we see that God continued to work behind the scenes. Just because we don't see God, it doesn't mean he is not doing somethin...

What A Privilege: 1 Peter 1:10-12

1 Peter 1:10-12 The prophets of the OT knew that something great was to happen, but not everything about Christ's victory over death (the how and when) had been revealed to them. They did, however, know that the messages they were speaking were not just for the people pf their time but also for all believers to come. These messages are now ministered to us through men and women of God, today. It is the same Spirit working in them, that worked in the prophets. Only we get to see and experience the results of Christ's suffering and glory. We are in such a privileged position, because we have the word, we have the in dwelling of the Holy Spirit, we live in the promise of a victory that has already been realised. The prophets could only imagine, but we don't have to. Don't take for granted what you have before you, we have so many resources regarding God's word and his kingdom, we have the ability to come to the Lord as we are, without having to go through any ceremonia...

12 Days of Fasting

Today is the first day of our 12 days of fasting. As this is our year of All Round Victory, it is important for us to start it off in the right way. Our focus scripture this week will be Psalm 110:3 Your people will offer themselves freely on the day of your power,  in holy garments from the womb of the morning, the dew of your youth will be yours I encourage you to read this Psalm in full, though it is short, it tells us so much of Gods glory and his victory of his enemies. Some of our prayer points are: For God to reveal his glory to us and through us this year. Wisdom to make the right decisions, for business, prosperity, marriage, and parenting. Prayer for the peace of the land.

Lessons in Advent | Day Twenty Four - Luke 24:6

  We end our Lessons in Advent with this simple message.. He is not here, He has risen. Jesus left his place on the throne, so that we could have a place with him. He took on the form of man and bore all the pain that was meant for us. At this time of the year, there is so much emphasis on the 'Baby Jesus', and within a few days the story is forgotten and people go on with their lives. Always remember that this period marks the beginning of a great sacrifice that will see us take our place in God's kingdom as co heirs to the throne.

Lessons in Advent | Day Twenty Three - Luke 23:28

  There were women who were weeping because of how Jesus was being treated, but he told them not to weep for him. He knew that what he was experiencing was necessary, and it was also his choice. At anytime he could have asked God to save him, but he choose to go through with it so that we could be saved. He told them to instead weep for those who had not accepted him. They were the ones who were really going to suffer. Their suffering would be so bad that people will be happy not to have children, who would want to bare children in such horrendous conditions. Even today, people look back at what Jesus went thorough and feel sorrow, the thought of having nails hammered through your hands, being left to hang in the air until you died. As frightening as this sounds, a day is coming that will be unbearable for all those who have decided that they can do life without Christ. So if you haven't made the decision to do so, I urge you now to give your life to him completely and you won'...
