Ambassadors for Jesus: Redeeming the Time!
Ambassadors for Jesus Christ and the redemption of time – two separate concepts and yet both of them intricately connected. The Christian life can be explained only in terms of Jesus Christ, and if your life as a Christian can still be explained in terms of you – your...
Upon What Does Your Identification Find It’s Support?
A bluntly mediocre question I want to pose is: Who are you? No, I mean who are you REALLY? Your name and surname (or your twelve other middle names) will not suffice to answer this question. You need to start thinking deep. Remember, you are currently alone, probably reading...
Coming from the land of Chaldeans…
For this study I want to take you to the book of Genesis chapter 11 & primarily chapter 12. Too often we find ourselves caught up in the mundane of every day life and we tend to forget God’s faithfulness throughout our lives. We come across occurrences that may...
Decide now, stand forever
Luke 6:46 – And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? The Body of Christ is faced with one of the devil’s greatest and most successful tactics at hand – indecisiveness. If the devil can succeed in getting a man of God...
Rooted in Christ Jesus: Where do you stand?
I want to start this study by sharing a story of what happened to me a while ago. We went to visit a friend the other day on a very, very cold day (-24 degrees Celsius), who invited us for lunch the very first time. He lives in our...

I want to take you back to two of the prophets in the Old Testament – Micah and Malachi. Micah 5:2-5 But you, Bethlehem and Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler...
Cain and Abel: Determine God’s framework for acceptance
Many a man has wondered what exactly pleases God. How is God pleased now? Was He pleased the same way in the Old Testament? Cain brought an offering, yet he was rejected, how is that fair? There is a plethora of questions arising from the history of Cain and...
Imitators of Christ: Taking heed to the call
We as Christians are called to be imitators of Christ. Imitators in all aspects of our lives – not to just talk the talk, but to actually also walk the walk. Being an imitator can be defined as a person who copies the behaviour or actions of another. And...
The Four Men: Make Your Choice
The other day I took an old dusty book from the shelf, which I probably got for free in someone’s throw away books. It was titled “The Four Men”. I did not expect much from the book, though, but nevertheless I opened it up and dived right in. The...
Triple Get: Get Ready
Every Christian is either a missionary or an imposter C. H. Spurgeon Take a moment and let that sink in. Before going any further, take a piece of paper and write down your first reaction as well as your reason for reacting in that way. It all boils down...
