THE LORD BE WITH YOU,
The Lord Be With You This is more than a Eucharistic prayer. It’s certainly more than what you find in the book of common prayer. How do I know? I checked with Joe Jacobs…………Remember him? The favorite son of Jacob, son of Isaac, son of Abraham The one with the coat of many colours……Yes! Joseph, that’s the one! And here

GO FOR GOLD!!! Wayde van Niekerk, 24 year old South African athlete made history on Sunday night ( 14/08/2016) at RIO 2016 when he won a gold medal at the 400 metres race and broke a 17 year old record in men’s track and field which had been set by the American, Michael Johnson in 1999. But guess what the

A Purpose Driven Life. We often hear the saying “everything happens for a reason.” Some of us believe it and some don’t. I usually believe it with conditions. For example when something does not go in accordance with a plan I may have had in my mind, I then go on to console myself with, “everything happens for a reason”.

FAITH THAT BELIEVES I hear the Lord speak And it’s very profound. “He was greatly surprised because the people did not have faith”………. Mark 6:6 (Goodnews) I find it strange that Jesus is surprised at our lack of faith. Luke 18:1-8 tells us the parable of the widow who kept going to the ‘unjust judge‘ to avenge her of her

GUARANTEED BLISS Not too many of us have taken time to break down the content of Psalm 23 which guarantees hope, encouragement and solace in the face of life’s greatest challenges, including death. King David, himself a former shepherd, begins this Psalm with, “The LORD is my shepherd,” immediately putting himself as a sheep (metaphorically) in the care of Jesus

IT’S NEVER TOO LATE. Often when we as humans hear something too many times we tend to get desensitized to it.

A LOYALTY SO GREAT! “A swarm of more than 20,000 bees followed a grandmother’s car for over 24 hours attempting to rescue their queen……….” The Telegraph, 24 May, 2016 Bees are typically social in nature with the exception of the solitary bees. They are usually found in colonies where they live within a rigid caste system: Queen bee, male drones

THE ANOINTING Jesus Christ! We know, He is the Anointed One. Acts 10:38 But see what else the Father has done! A king NOT of the chosen generation; Is chosen to do the will of the God of creation. He says of this king “You are my shepherd and shall perform all my pleasure” Isaiah 44:28 “And even from the

TIME FOR EXPLOITS We always say “Those who know their God shall be strong and shall do exploits” Yes that’s true because it is what the word of God says. Daniel 11: 32 So where does your strength come from? Strength comes when you rejoice in the Lord; for starters; Nehemiah 8:10 Strength comes when you praise the Lord; Even

USE THE UNUSUAL David killed the giant Goliath; but there was no sword in the hand of David. 1 Sam 17:50 The usual weapon used in the time of war was a sword or a spear, with a protective shield. But David used none of these. He used unusual weapons to defeat and disgrace the giant Goliath. He used a
