Mark 16:19-20 So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed.

There is a God-given assignment upon your life. Whether you realise it or not, God has called you, graced you and equipped you to reach others.

It can be so easy to think that...

Mark 5:27-28 “When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”

This woman in Mark chapter five was dealing with a long-term illness. One that the doctors at that time pronounced incurable.

What is amazing about this woman was that when she heard about Jesus, she didn’t shrug off those reports and think that her situation was ...

Mark 2:5, 10-11: “And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—He *said to the paralytic, “I say to you, get up, pick up your pallet and go home.”

In this passage, we read about a man who had been paralysed. He had been in this situation long enough for four friends of his friends to drag him over to see Jesu...

Mark 1:40-41 ”And a leper *came to Jesus, beseeching Him and falling on his knees before Him, and saying, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.” Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and *said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.”

In order to have faith for healing, we must be fully convinced that it is God’s will.

Faith begins where the will of God is known. If we are not fully persuaded that it...

Matthew 15:28 “Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed instantly.”

There are only two recorded instances in the New Testament where Jesus marvels at a person’s great faith. One was the Roman Centurion, and the other one was the Canaanite Woman, as mentioned in the above Scripture.

What was it about these two accounts that caused Jesus to marvel at their ...

Luke 13:11-12, 16: “And there was a woman who for eighteen years had had a sickness caused by a spirit; and she was bent double, and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your sickness.”…

And this woman, a daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan has bound for eighteen long years, should she not have been released from this bond on the Sabbath day?”

One o...

Acts 10:34-35 “And Peter opened his mouth and said: Most certainly and thoroughly I now perceive and understand that God shows no partiality and is no respecter of persons, But in every nation he who venerates and has a reverential fear for God, treating Him with worshipful obedience and living uprightly, is acceptable to Him and sure of being received and welcomed [by Him].”

It is so common for people to filter the Word of God thr...

Luke 15:31-32: “And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.  It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’”

How the Kingdom of God operates is different from the rest of the world. When the prodigal son arrived home, there was a new way of thinking and speaking that he had to learn.

However, the older son remained in the father...

Luke 15:22-24

“But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.”

To overcome emotional pain and trauma, we need to know how valuable we are in God’s sight and apply that truth in...

Luke 15:21: “Then the son said, ‘Father, I was wrong. I have sinned against you. I could never deserve to be called your son. Just let me be—’

“The father interrupted and said, ‘Son, you’re home now!’

In this parable of the prodigal son, Jesus demonstrates the heart of our Heavenly Father towards us. After the prodigal son wasted all of his father’s inheritance and ended up losing everything, the son finally came to the realisation...

John 3:3 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.”

When Jesus died on the cross, it wasn’t just for a select few, Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the whole world. Salvation is available to everyone, but just because it is available to everyone doesn’t mean that everyone will accept it. It is the Father’s will for all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of t...

John 8:31-32 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

True freedom is found in the truth of who God is and the truth of who we are in Him.

David, in the book of Psalm and repeated again in Romans says “how blessed the person is who sin is covered and forgiven.”

There are many people who live this life weigh...

You are a sent one from God to this world. You are alive in this time, in this generation, in this nation, in this city and this community for a purpose.

There are people in your world right now that are looking for help, looking for answers, looking for something more and you are the one who has been sent by God to reach those people. So often we overthink what these opportunities and encounters are supposed to look and sound like...

Mark 16:15 "And He said to them, "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation."

It's astounding to think about the way God has planned our lives. We are not just some random act of chance, but we were already known by God before we were even in our mother's womb. (Psalm 139, Jeremiah 1:5)

God is the ultimate planner. He's the only One who knows the end from the beginning, and He knew He would need you and me...

James 1:26 If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless.

Every one of us has experienced hurt, lies, and rejection. We know what it feels like to have hurtful and damaging things said toward us and about us. These lies and hurts can shape our thought life and become our identity if undealt with. We start believing these lies, and then we start talking th...

Having a real, genuine relationship with God the Father is absolutely essential to living victoriously in this world. Everything in life comes back to relationships, but the most important one is the place we give God in our lives.

Jesus said He is the “true Vine, and apart from Me, you can do nothing.”

Trials and tests come to everyone, but for those who abide in the true Vine have a source of supply that is not from this world or...

Forgiveness is a wonderful gift. It can change the course of a person's life and change the depths of their heart. Those who have made Jesus the Lord of their life have tasted the vastness and the depths of the mercy of God. What we owed God because of our sin and our fallen nature was far over and above what we could pay Him back for, and yet, the mercy of God was extended to us because He loves us. The person who understands how ...

We have the authority and the responsibility to choose our attitudes, thoughts, and responses to life's circumstances. It is so much easier to put the blame and responsibility on others or even God. 

The truth is the responsibility of what we think on belongs to us. Thankfully, along with the responsibility to guard our thought life comes the authority to take hold of our thoughts and emotions with the Word of God and cast down wro...

Life consists of relationships: our relationship with one another and our relationship with God. 

The value we place on our relationship with God determines how we perceive ourselves, others, and events that occur in our lives. 

For some, past hurts and experiences have tainted their understanding of God. They misunderstand God because they filter God through their experiences and what others have said. A wrong understanding of God...
