I was reminded of a very special banquet that I was invited to a few years ago. It was a celebration of a new business centre that had been opened by a very dear friend of mine….
Read MoreWhat I have noticed in my life is that anything that is really precious, anything that is really costly, requires a lot of pain and suffering and even death sometimes.
Read MoreIt’s not easy when you go against the current. In these days in which we are living, we need to be very courageous. We need to stand up and we need to tell the truth.
Read MoreI read a lovely quotation by one of my old friends, the Reverend Ron Wesson, who said “God has a work for you, ministries may change, but they should not stop.” He went on to say, your life has an eternal purpose. I really appreciated that thought…
Read MoreIsn’t it amazing how everything the world strives for and everything that the world sees as successful, Jesus sees it almost in the opposite?
Read MoreIn these days in which we are living, where nothing is certain anymore, people are extremely unsettled. Now the Lord tells us that even heaven and earth will pass away. He says, “but My words will never pass away.”
Read MoreEverything is so unsettled in the world, we really need to find the heart of God and follow Him intensely. We cannot take chances, if we have done something wrong, we need to say sorry.
Read MoreAt Shalom we have a saying, “One genuine miracle equals a thousand sermons.” It’s all very well to tell people about Jesus, but we must also show people about Jesus.
Read MoreYou and I need to be more attentive to the things that we do, not only for the Lord but in secular life as well. Routine is very important to run a successful operation. We must do everything in an orderly manner.
Read MoreWe need to remember that the Lord has promised us that His grace is sufficient for us. When Jesus says, “My grace is sufficient for you” He meant it. We don’t have to be concerned about what is going to happen to us this week.
Read MoreWe know Jesus is God made flesh, however he did have a family tree on the earth, taken from the line of Joseph, the carpenter from Nazareth.
Read MoreIn these perilous times in which you and I are living, it is absolutely imperative that we get Godly counsel for every decision we make.

Read MoreIn these perilous times in which we are living, Jesus tells you and I quite categorically that we need to watch. These are times that we need to be very, very careful on the decisions that we make.
Read MoreIn these perilous times in which we are living, where everything is so uncertain, we need to continue to walk and to live daily by Prayer and Faith. Because as George Müller said…
Read MoreThe Lord is impressing upon us again to keep on doing good to others, even if they are not direct relatives of yours and maybe, even if they do not even belong to our religion. A good turn will sometimes draw someone closer to God than Bible punching.
Read MoreLittle children are trusting, little children are honest, little children are pure and little children are full of love - Those are the characters that the Lord is looking for in His children today…
Read MoreWhile reading the Word of God early this morning there is one thing the Holy Spirit impressed upon me, and that is that the Lord Jesus didn’t get angry very often.

One of my favourite scriptures in the Bible is just a little bit further along in Mark 9:23 (NKJV), “Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.
Read MoreWe must become 'hearers-from-God' and not 'hearers-from-man'. We need to hear from God. If we don’t, we run around like a chicken with its head chopped off.
