Although the Word warns us that satan, our great enemy, prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour (1Pet.5:18), I would like to assure you that we are not defenceless. The God we serve is almighty, omnipresent, all-knowing and all powerful; and, He is also our loving Father. He...
We are at war against an enemy we cannot see. To stand a chance in this war it is important that we know our enemy. The profile of satan we get from Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 is that satan was beautiful and wise and that he enjoyed a high-ranking position in God's Kingdom.
"You were the signet of p...
Over the next few posts I am going to focus on 'Knowing our enemy'.
Are you aware of the fact that we are at war? You may have your life worked out, meaning you are well able to handle those things that are under control, your life is reasonably OK and not as broken, or unbalanced or confused like...
Father Yahuah, when we consider all the people of the world, we see a people who do not know their God and who do not live in fear of You. As a consequence of this rebellion, we see inequality, oppression and exploitation, poverty, food insecurity and famine. We see people in lack of basic needs and...

Do you fear God? In Hebrews 10:31 we are told, "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God".
When we read the words of the prophet Nahum we understand the reason for this, Nahum 1 reads:
- The Lord is a jealous God and avenging, the Lord is avenging and wrathful; the Lord ta...
For over a year now the impact of the corona pandemic is felt in countries across the globe. Not one has escaped loss of life and many are struggling under the burden of financial devastation as a result of lockdowns. While most countries are currently rolling out programmes supported by the pharmac...
Today I would like to share how I observe the Sabbath. This is a recent thing for me. I have always observed the Sabbath on a Sunday. I have been a regular church goer and active participant of various churches over the years. This was until I was convicted in my spirit by this verse: "Our fathers h...
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labour, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work" (Exo. 20:8-10).
Do you honour this commandment God has given us?
Before you answer, do you know that the seventh da...
