'Ezra praised the Lord, the great God; and all the people lifted their hands and responded: 'Amen! Amen!' Then they bowed down and worshipped the Lord with their faces to the ground. The Levites instructed the people in the Law while the people were standing there. They read from the Book of the Law of God, making it clear and giving the meaning so that the people could understand what was being read' - Nehemiah 8:6-8

There are everyday events, ever-recurring moments. To eat…

May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. - 1 Thessalonians 5:23



Holiness means wholeness. God wants holy people who are whole-hearted and true, for His service and for the work of praying. These are the sort of people God wants leaders and these are the kind out of which the praying class is formed.



When a person prays every part of his being… Continue

'Who will not fear you, O Lord, and bring glory to Your Name?' - Revelation 15:4



The victors who remained standing 1900 years ago or during the Middle Ages, the victors of yesterday, of today and also of tomorrow, sing the song of Moses and ask: 'Who will not fear You, O Lord, and bring glory to Your Name?' (Rev 15:4). Look at Revelation 15:1-4, the answer would be: Those who do not fear the Lord - who don't try to know Him better, consult Him, or worship Him with thankfulness and… Continue

'Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to recieve power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and praise!' - Revelation 5:12



This antiphony in honour of God is already commenced. Two thousand years ago, God revealed to John on the island of Patmos that the church and the angels, the animals of the field and the eagles of the heights, the trees and the heather would ultimately sing in praise, and that this song would be dedicated to Jesus, the Lamb.



John had… Continue

...Through God's mercy we have this ministry... the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ... is the image of God. For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord. - 2 Corinthians 4:1, 4-5



We can instil ideas in our minds and misdirect ourselves in the most important of all respects, namely the purpose of our lives. We can believe that we were born to research the riddles of space, to know the secrets of the sea, to raise children, to marry, to compose music, to… Continue

For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory for ever! - Romans 11:36



'Oh, the beauty of nature!' we whisper at God's Window in Mpumalanga, South Africa. 'Oh the depth!' we ought to stammer about God. How exultant the examples of His wisdom and knowledge, of His caring, His intelligence and insight! The entire ecology sings of His wisdom and the love immanent in God's plan of redemption.



When Paul sought to look into the heart, the majesty,… Continue

You hold my every moment, You calm my raging seas.

Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You

'Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory You have given me because You loved me before the creation of the world' - John 17:24



The course leader concluded his lecture: 'We live to ultimately be able to see the glory of our Saviour.' A student came to him later. 'We don't have a problem with this life', he said. 'It's exciting - exactly what we seek. But I have a problem with life after death, with the objective of seeing the… Continue

'Ezra opened the book. All the people could see him because he was standing above them; and as he opened it, the people all stood up. Ezra praised the Lord, the Great God; and all the people lifted their hands and responded, 'Amen! Amen!' Then they bowed down and worshipped the Lord with their faces to the ground' - Nehemia 8:5-6.



What a novelty it would be in the life of modern people! To have to raise from their comfortable reclining positions, to have to glance away from their… Continue

Everyone has his own kind of intelligence, psychologists tells us. Some people are mathematically gifted, others socially and yet others musically. Stupid is an expletive, a mean and despicable word.



Howeverd, the word fool is not such a word. It is a word of warning that should bring us to a standstill, which should cause electric shocks to go through us. Some people are indeed fools. The Word of God identifies them:



* 'For the fool speaks folly, his mind is busy with… Continue

'Your sun will never set again, and your moon wil wane no more; the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end.' - Isaiah 60:20



Go and stand in front of a mirror on a miserable day after a personal failure. Look into the eyes of the mortal before you. What does your observation of yourself tell you? You see weakness and powerlessness, you see strength and sparkle extinguished, insignificance and darkness. Simply by looking in the mirror we discover how much… Continue
