The Perfect Pursuit
Little wonder the Lord commanded us to be perfect! Being in all time, the Lord had already purchased our capacity for perfect on the Cross when He made this declaration to His disciples. The command is an invitation! When we pursue oneness with God, a faith-based certainty in His love and His ways, this extraordinary grace to love as He has loved us becomes our every day applied truth. This state of perfect will transform the whole world!
5 Ways to Overcome the Judgement Trap
One of the enemy’s most effective tricks to trap believers is through a self-convinced posture of judgement. It is crucial we resist this trap.
Avoid the Pharisee Trap
In Jesus’s day, the Pharisees were so certain that Jesus was wrong, they turned the heart of the people against their own Saviour, inciting the crowds to shout “Crucify Him!”, when five days earlier, joyful hosannas had echoed off the Jerusalem walls. These zealous leaders were so convinced they were right, they sought the Lord’s destruction, sliding their Scriptures like beads on an abacus, measuring and weighing the very Word of Heaven with hellish accusations of judgement. Self-justified, deceived, without discernment, fuelled by pride and destroyed by conceit, they turned their own people against the Saviour and incited hatred against the very One sent by Heaven for their deliverance.

How to Move towards Encounters with God
Encounters with the Lord require a steady gaze. Like the virgins who maintained their lamps, long after the sun set, far past the expected time of arrival by the Bridegroom, (Mathew 25) our steady expectation for God is demonstrated by daily pursuit of our King.Constancy is critical in the Kingdom of God; we can’t quit the pursuit!
As we daily draw near to the One who loves us, staying sensitive and attentive to our King, we kick the world’s distractions to the curb, and place great value on our relationship with King Jesus. As we keep reaching with desperation for the Lover of our Soul, day and night, He is certain to encounter us.
Find Victory in our Dream Realm
When we go to sleep at night, we embark on a journey.
Every night, when we turn off the lights and drift into sleep, we are not just resting, we are going on a journey of discovery. Yet the enemy works overtime to corrupt our journey, even before we start.
How to Cause Maximum Impact
Like a wise farmer to a new gardener, a mentor has walked before the Lord and learnt much from life. As the mentor shares their knowledge, you can quicken your production and interrupt destructive habits that halt growth in your life, by paying close attention to their instructions and duplication of their example.
Just as Paul told Timothy, “Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim. 1:13), so a mentor lays down patterns of growth to follow, with words of life to sustain ongoing production.
How to Strengthen your Weak areas of Life
In my journey, every single strength of my life was developed. In my childhood, I was not a leader. I had no friends. I wasn’t popular, nor the favourite of my teachers. Every part of me had to be developed, and the way I did that, was by first locating my weakness.
Spiritual Battles: How to help someone backsliding from God
Contrary to popular opinion, we are not responsible for everybody. Depending on if this is a friend or family member, our response to someone’s struggle may be quite different. For one brings spiritual battles not needed, while another brings growth.
What to do when someone disagrees with your faith
Wisdom is not just knowing what to say; it is also knowing when to say it.
A child of God has to always study when to speak.
It is critical for a child of God to speak only when you will be heard. Don’t waste your words.
Q&A – How to be Intentional & Conscious of our Actions?
How can we discern in our daily life how to act, what to say or not to say, instead of reflecting after the fact? Our greatest strength comes from what we comprehend the best about the Lord….

Dear Generals, What we have today is nothing. Our ministry, gifts, preaching or popularity is nothing. 'Nothing' not because it is not already bearing fruit. 'Nothing' because anything of yesterday is not worth bragging about. 'Nothing' because the work left to do is...

Why Sermons Perish
Sermons are different from speeches. Let me rephrase that. Sermons must be different from an orchestrated speech. A speech is an intelligent preparation by the speaker. But sermons must be an inspired word from God received by the speaker. We should note that the...

How to Accelerate in Life
The principles of Heaven must be manifested on earth.

We can accelerate in strength and excellence here on earth!
