Scripture reminds us that we were created to praise God. When you wake up in the morning, do you expect the goodness of God in your life? Do you set the tone of the day for success, favour and blessing with your words and your worship? Scripture tells us that life and death are in the […]

Victory, Not Just Today, But Always
While pastoring in the USA one of my favorite songs was “victory is mine, victory is mine, victory today is mine.” Isn’t it wonderful to know that God promises to always lead us into victory? So no matter what’s going on in your life today, no matter what’s happening in the world, no matter what anybody […]
Quit Spiritual Procrastination
Last night, while in Lille, I was talking about spiritual procrastination, and the danger of not taking God-given opportunities, and not using our spiritual gifts. God will never ask you to do something without giving you the ability to do it. You may get passive or complacent and think, “yes, I know I need to […]
Armed With Strength For Every Battle
God provides both physical and spiritual strength in our time of need.
Evil People – Pay Them No Mind
Any fool can criticize, complain, and condemn–and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.
People Pleasing – A Dangerous Lifestyle
While talking to some youth yesterday, I realised an important truth – people pleasing is alive and well. From fashion, to language and everything in between, there will always be people who try to squeeze you into their mould; people who try to pressure you into being who they want you to be. They may be […]

God Doesn’t Make No Junk
Fred Hammond the great gospel singer once wrote a song saying he will dance like David danced, but for me I don’t want to necessarily dance like David danced. I want to say what David said in Psalm 139: “I’m God’s masterpiece. I’m wonderfully made. I’m talented. I’m original. God has given me everything that […]
Jesus wants to give us a revelation of ultimate victory. Be assured that in the atmosphere of great conflict we are more than conquerors, because of the fact that God loves us.
Are You Waiting for God to Bless You?
I hate waiting. Nowadays there seems to be queues everywhere. What are you waiting for God to do in your life? One thing I’ve learned is that waiting should not be a passive thing. When we’re waiting, we’re on the lookout, we have expectation. We speak what we are expecting from God. We act like […]

Waiting for the door to open
When baby birds are ready to eat, they open their mouths wide, believing they will be fed. They expect it. They look for it. They are ready for it. It should be the same way with us. We need to keep our spiritual mouths wide open, expecting God to fill it and satisfy us. Do […]
Don’t Put A Period Where God Put A Comma
Sometimes we feel like a period of our life is coming to a close, and we decide we’re going to throw in the towel. Pastor Ray Patrick encourages us not to close doors too quickly, because sometimes God wants to surprise us with something more.
The Miracle On The Hudson
In January 15 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 took off from LaGuardia Airport in New York for Charlotte, North Carolina. In less than 20 minutes, the plane was “landed” on the Hudson river.
You Should Never Give up on Your Dreams
It’s a sad truth in life that the vast majority of people give up on their dreams.
“As a mother comforts her child, so God will comfort us, who live on in our mother’s absence on this earth; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem,” says the Lord our God. (Adaptation of Isaiah 66:13 for those whose mothers were with us in spirit but not physically present this Mother’s Day). Amen!
