Christmas 2020

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulders" ... Isaiah 9:6 "For unto you is born this day ... a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord!" ... Luke 2:11 There is a wonderful plan and purpose of God for us in that Jesus Christ was born on Christmas day. One small step for God, one gigantic leap for ...

Dedication

June 28, 2020 " The Lord hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be unto Him a people of inheritance." Deuteronomy 4:20 Nowhere either in the Old or the New Testament is dedication divorced or separate from redemption. The two are intimately linked, they go hand in hand and we never find the one without the o...

Christian Priorities

 "Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things: but one thing is needful." ....Luke 10:41 Let us be very honest with ourselves here; work for the Lord has its attractions. It can thrill you when people gather to hear you preach. But maybe, if instead, you are compelled to stay at home and be occupied from morning to night wi...

The Real Church, the Overcomers

22 nd August 2019 "David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave of Adullam ... and there were with him about four hundred men.." ....1 Samuel 22:1 This cave actually represented the answer to David's spiritual need! Saul had the office of the king and had a huge following. His lot was all the machinery of government, and God in sovereig...

The Blessing of Suffering

January 25 2019 "Whom the Lord loves he chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives." ...Hebrews 12:6 It seems clear that Spiritual vision by itself is not enough to transform a life. Consider Jacob's ladder. Because of his crooked behaviour, Jacob had lost his home and all his possessions. Yet in spite of this, God favoured Him at Bethel wit...

Christ the Saviour

May 31 2018 "As many as touched Him were made whole." ....Mark 6:56 Recall the incident of the Pharisee and the publican at prayer in the temple. The Pharisee understood all about tithes and offerings, yet from him there was no cry from his heart to God; it was all in his mind so to speak. It was the publican who cried from his heart , "Lord have m...

Deliverance From Self

March 13 2018 "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart" ....Hebrews 4:12 None of us like to have our "self" revealed to us. We don't like to be exposed for what...

"There was a rainbow round about the throne." ...Revelations 4:3

The visions of Revelation chapters 4 to 11 are all related to the throne of God (Rev 4:2); those of chapters 12 to 22 to the temple of God (Rev 11:19). At the outside of the former we see a rainbow around about the throne; inside the latter we see the arc of the covenant in the temple. God's throne is established for the government of the universe....

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulders" ... Isaiah 9:6 "For unto you is born this day ... a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord!" ... Luke 2:11

  There is a wonderful plan and purpose of God for us in that Jesus Christ was born on Christmas day. One small step for God, one gigantic leap for mankind! This is the day that God Himself appeared on the earth dressed as a man. Jesus was not born to just grow up and die for our sins and to prove that He was God. Jesus was born onto the earth...

"Here is the patience and the faith of the saints." ....Revelation 13:10

There are those who cry, "How long?" who find it hard to exercise patience any more. But it is significant that right at the start of this book which deals with judgement, John should describe himself as, "Your brother and partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and patience which are in Jesus Christ." This book of Revelation brings us to ...
