“And He entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day; that they might accuse him. And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.” Mark 3:1-3As we read this account of the man with the withered hand, the Lord teaches us many principles. How many of us walk around with a withered hand? There is a part of you that has shrunk and […]
Ruth 1:1-22 As we walk with Naomi and Ruth the Lord is teaching us some beautiful principles in His Word. V 16: “And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.” What a beautiful proclamation from Ruth. This is what the Lord needs from us. Our walk with the Lord cannot begin without a definite decis […]
John 10:1-21 “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” This parable gives us a picture of the Lord’s plan. Jesus is the shepherd and the head of the church. We are His sheep. The only way we can be in the Lord’s plan is to enter in by the door, so the only way to get into the “kraal” through Jesus. Jesus is the only way to salvation. Let us look at this picture of the “kraal”. […]
Song of Solomon 2: 1-7 As we read the beautiful words of Solomon, the Lord is showing us His love for His Bride, the Church. “I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.” V1 The rose of Sharon which grows on the hilltops shows Jesus as the rose of heaven, but He is also the lily in the valley here on earth. The lily which grows between the thorns of this world, but is so beautiful for us to behold. We gaze upon the beauty of Jesus in the beginning […]
Met elke nuwe uitdaging stuur die Here soveel bevestigings en bemoedigings oor jou pad. Ek is onlangs herhinner aan die vrou wat by Jesus gekom het en hom gevra het om haar dogter te genees van die duiwels wat in haar was. Jesus het eenvoudig geantwoord dat dit nie reg is om die brood van die kinders vir die honde te gee nie. Haar reaksie was dat die honde wel die krummels kan kry. Hierdie geloof is een van die min gebeurtenisse waarvan Jesus openlik vir mense vertel het. […]
I have really been thinking a lot about my testimony, and the importance of my testimony. In Revelations 12 vs 11 it says: “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death”. What is my testimony and why is it so important? In my simple understanding it is the evidence of what Jesus has done and is doing in my life. The bible also talks about us being the light of the world, with all o […]
2 Timothy 4:7 “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith” A soldier knows what his duties are, to fight for his country, to lay down his life for the cause. When an athlete runs a race, the finish line is his goal. Is this not what our Lord Jesus did for us? He laid down His life that the world shall be saved through Him. The cause and goal for us who believe, is to hold on to Jesus, declaring that he truly is the only wa […]
