The Promise is for us and our children



Early this year in January, God spoke to me regarding our Next Generation at church and said that He is going to pour out His Spirit in a greater measure upon them this year. The verse was from Acts 2:16-21 and Joel 2:28-29.

“And afterward,  I will pour out my Spirit on all people.

Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.

Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days."

A month later, I heard of the revival happening in Kentucky.

I believe God was speaking to me ahead of time and preparing me for what He wanted to do in our church through the Next Generation as His heart is broken over the despair and hopelessness a lot of them are facing.

But the promise is for all of us! I believe God is doing something around the world and we will also experience it in His time. I believe we are in the initial stages of it already as a church!

But He is looking for hungry hearts, hearts that are open to receive the work of His Spirit. It all begins at His feet in prayer.

Today is our day of prayer, fasting and worship as a church. Tonight we will be gathering for prayer and worship at the church centre from 7.30-8.30pm. Let's come together to seek God like never before, both in worship and prayer. 

There is so much more He wants to do in our lives and in our church but it takes us drawing close to Him.

I look foward to seeing you tonight.  We will enjoy some food together afterwards :)

Prayer: the key to unlocking and entering into God's will

Image
Oftentimes, in our lives, we get so side tracked by so many things that we forget one of the most important keys to walking in everything God has for us on earth and that is 'prayer'. I hope my blogs provide some encouragement when you are struggling in this area to keep going. I know it's not always easy to pray, but when we do, we gain far more from it that we can imagine. It's any wonder the enemy will do all he can to stop us from praying, both personally and corporately.  God is all sovereign and all powerful and can do anything. Yet, He has given us a key to unlocking His will on earth and that is 'prayer'.  Imagine God's will to be like a house that God has built for you and wants to give you. For you to go in and live in and enjoy it, you need a key. Well, prayer is the key that will cause you to enter in and possess God's will for your life. We see it time and time again in the Bible when God was waiting on a man/woman to pray for His...

We can approach the Throne of Grace anytime!

Happy New Year! Hebrews 4:16 "Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need" We serve a God who is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords!  His throne is unlike   any   earthly king's throne. Besides it being the most amazing throne, filled with His glory and majesty that is incomprehensible with our human minds, it is also a throne of 'grace'. Our God is   so  filled with grace, so much so that the writer of Hebrews calls His throne, the 'throne of grace'! Grace is God's unmerited favour, His kindness, generosity of disposition and also His   empowerment. We can approach this throne of grace without fear and trepidation. We can approach this throne of grace freely, boldly and confidently because of our trust in Jesus and His redemption in our lives. We do this so that 'we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need...

Consecration enables us to hear God clearly and receive empowerment

Well, it seemed like yesterday when we said goodbye to 2023 but here we are in February already!  All of January, we've been focusing as a church on the topic of 'Set Apart' which includes the areas of holiness, being consecrated to God and living in obedience and in accordance with our calling. The early apostles and believers were asked by Jesus to stay in the city of Jerusalem, until they were empowered by being baptised in the Holy Spirit. In obedience to Him, they waited patiently, gathering together and praying regularly. It was during one of these times of prayer, God spoke clearly lead them to choose Matthias to replace Judas (who betrayed Jesus).  Later on, during one of these times of prayer together, God sent the Holy Spirit and baptised them, they began to speak in tongues and received the power of the Holy Spirit which dramatically changed their lives to living in courage and boldness to preach the gospel!  You can read about this in Acts 1 and 2.  We le...
