Dependant Walk of Faith
I wish to encourage you today, in your dependant walk of faith with Jesus Christ as Lord. It’s an ironic part of life, that when we get tired, or overwhelmed by the busyness of life, we easily become spiritually lethargic or forgetful. It’s a God honouring discipline in the Christian life to form daily routines that…
Read MoreThe Love of Christ
I wish to encourage you to consciously think of the love of Christ today. The love that first loved us (1Jn 4:19) and pursued us. It’s the love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God (1Jn 3:11). Ephesians 1:4-10 In love He predestined us for adoption as sons…

Read MoreLoving Mercy
I wish to encourage you all to place the loving mercy of our Lord in the forefront of your thinking as you enter this new day. As the writer of Lamentations rightly explains, in the midst of all that life throws at us, we choose to ”call to mind” the character of God. Regardless of…
Read MorePeace and Mutual Edification
I wish to encourage you all with what the apostle Paul recognised as a vital element of walking in the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is for us to …make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification (Romans 14:19). Three useful observations which I pray will assist you…
Read MoreWalk Faithful
I want to encourage you all to walk faithful for Jesus Christ today. During the course of today’s events the enemy will try to dilute your belief in Jesus Christ, to distract you from putting Christ first in your decision making processes, and to politely neglect your fellow believer. We are well aware of Satan’s…
