Flow In Season I woke up to a cool wind, blowing too and fro, threw my curtains one after the other, back and forth on a Thursday Morning, automatically I became happy, and so I was fascinated by how the wind influenced my attitude towards my day. There was a lady colleague I know, she used to say when anything happens in Cape towns weather it will affect us in Joburg, when it's snowing, when it's raining or even when there is a cold front coming in the country, Cape Town is the door. Our Gauteng weather is influenced by the weather in Cape Town. Yet the most important part is held together by what we call wind, the wind becomes a driving vehicle of the whole process. As I was saying the wind influenced my day and though I hate cold places I woke up very happy and excited and I knew nothing can ruin it unless I permit it to. God allows us to go through situations and it is through those situations that we actually find who we truly are and what we truly are capable of doing....

Trying To Vacate Your Life Is Not The Answer The story of Judas the disciple of Jesus is a very fascinating story, i havent followed on it so much to understand a lot about him but i followed Jesus to understand a lot about Judas. 1. Judas was among the 72 disciples that went to different towns preaching about Jesus and cast out demons in his name and came rejoicing. 2. Judas was among the disciples that walked closely with Jesus to know the words of Jesus and even see his miracles and wonders. 3. Judas was among the disciples that feed the 5000 people with 2 fish and 5 loaves. 4. Judas was there when Jesus walked on water and saw Jesus save Peter from drowning. 5. Judas was at the table when Jesus said one of you will betray me, he was even there when the people shouted free Barnabas. What is it that we understand about Judas. 1. Judas should have been wiser than normal folks. 2. Judas should have won the heart of Jesus. 3. Judas should have been trusted so much that...

Growing Pains More than we want to admit the challenge in our pilgrimage is growth. We have a problem to commit because in growing there are situations that we face and so we get comfortable with our relatonship with God, being an infant and drinking milk as Apostle Paul puts it, as long as we go to heaven. Were afraid to step into destiny, identity and power because were living lives of abstinance, were abstaning from becoming the best were created to be so we hide from change and settle with pay check to pay check life, settle with porverty, settle with pain in our bodies, settle with the family that hates progress and education and settle with being in the same place, the same season every year. Christianity in the dark ages played a huge role, they had power over Europe and they needed to expand their borders but there was an external force that came in and wanted to rule over their lands. Christianity had two options whether they allow themselves to be ruled by Muslims or moors ...

The Story God is interested in telling a story, he understands from the beginning that people relate better with stories than a long list of what to do and what not to do. From the beginning we see God telling us his story about the beginning, he spoke about how he created everything he made it look like a 21st century novel making sure that his story is sellable. He draws a picture, showing us how he did it, which is the question that all humanity has. What is unique about his story is the fact that God emphasized many times that he is the one that Created the heavens and the earth and all that is seen and not seen, his audience have no reason to doubt because he makes it clear in his story. Like a Lawyer God understood that he had to prove his point for all generation to know and understand his case. In Gen 3:14-15 God says "...Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust a...

SORT OUT YOUR SALVATION

Build A Wall (for protection and for war) In Church History we find that there was a time where the children of Israel forgot who they were. They ended up mixing with our people from other nations and they started worship their gods practising their rituals forgetting who they are. One of the reasons why God used Hosea was because his people forgot their God and didn't teach their children about God, therefore throughput some generation they lost their culture, they lost their identity, they lost their rituals, they lost their religion and they lost their God. Not only that, after the death of Jesus on the Cross the disciples tried to teach people about Jesus the best they knew how but one day the people got tired of the same Gospels of Jesus Christ because the circulating books at the time was Mark, Matthew and Luke. People knew that Jesus according to Mark perfomed miracles, they knew that according to Matthew he was the Messiah and King, and according to Luke was just a man doi...

Give And It Will Be Given The world operates according to rhythm,  the sun comes up, temperature increase, birds sing, animals wake up, lions and cheaters search for prey, prey spends the day running, people wake up and go to work or school. The sun goes down, the moon comes up, the stars shine, temperature decreases, birds are quiet, animals sleep, lions and cheaters go to sleep, prey rests, people go to rest and others plan to do the same thing again tomorrow. The sun comes up and it happens again. God is very strategic he created what I call self sustaining world or universe. He doesn't have to be a part of it because everything works according to order. Let's fix this, without God there is no life, yet he created a system that works that even if he decides to leave and  go to another space it will continue to work according to how he created it. He is a God who is in control. When God spoke in the beginning and said "let there be ..." and everything was the way...

The life we are given we live by faith. The church today is in a bad state it remminds me of the times of Martin Luther the great, he stole the hearts of the Lutherans with his theology and believes, not forgeting his Zealous approach in regards to pasting ninty nine thesis on the church doors. We are in need of leaders who stand up for what they believe and who will never change their mind even to the pint of death. When we look at Church History we find many characters who gave their lives for Jesus Christ but among all these people lets looks at Polycarp and when you look at and follow me on youtube and soundclou.com you will find that i speak alot about him. Church history reveals Polycarp as one of the last connections to the Apostles of Jesus Christ, he was a church father. It is without a doubt that one would look at the life of Martin Luther among the greatest historian and theologian and conclude that he was inspired by Polycarp to live a life full of risk and living on the e...

   INTRODUCTION There was a man in Church history, an emperor, his story was well fabricated. He was a man of wisdom and intelligence and unfortunately for the Jews and surrounding countries at the time he was a Roman. It was a bad thing for a Roman to possess wisdom and intellect because Romans only cared about expanding their kingdom. Therefore if they possessed armies, weapons and intellect then other countries are doomed. NB Rome took 200 years to build and the reason to that is that. When the Syrians and the Greeks took over countries with a sword they decided to build their empire for 200 years they were in the dark. Until they felt ready to take over the world, they sent people in countries they needed to conquer to learn the peoples ways and in so doing they get to take over and place their leaders as kings. So it was a bad thing for a Roman to have wisdom and intellect. After an emperor died they needed someone to fill up the position for the moment like we do w...

INTRODUCTION HISTORY IS ONLY HISTORY IF IT CONNECTS. IF IT DOESN’T CONNECT THEN IT HAS TO BE STUDIED SO THAT WE CAN COME UP WITH A CONCLUSION OF THE SUGGESTED INFORMATION. ON WEDNESDAY I TAUGHT THAT OVER GENERATIONS WE HAD TO POROVE CHRIST IS WHO HE CLAIMS TO BE SO THAT HISTORY CAN CONNECT. THERE WAS A MAN IN HISTORY HIS STORY IS WELL FABRICATED. HE PLAYED A HUGE ROLE IN THE AMALGAMATION OF THE STATE AND THE CHURCH, WHICH IN TERN MADE THE ROMAN EMPIRE HAVE THEIR PART IN HISTORY, HENCE WE CANNOT SEPARATE CHRISTIANITY AND THE ROMAN WORLD. IT IS BECAUSE OF THIS MAN WHO LATER GOT BORN AGAIN BECAUSE HIS MOTHER LATER RECEIVED JESUS AS HIS PERSONAL SAVIOR. NOT ONLY DID HE PLAY A ROLE IN THE GOOD PART OF CHURCH HISTORY BUT HE PLAYED A ROLE IN MAKING THE CHURCH THE MOST DANGEROUS WEAPON EVER CREATED. AFTER HIS DEATH, CONSTANTINE, THE CHURCH HAD SO MUCH POWER OVER THE STATE THAT THEY FELT THEY COULD SELECT AN EMPRO OR A KING. THEY HAD SO MUCH POWER THAT THEY STARTED KILLING EACH OTHER...

ARE WE REALLY REAL

Being a young, vibrant and active young Pastor actually taught me a lot about is actually real .  Are we actually real to God, real to our families, real to our communities and most importantly real to ourselves. The church today in the dark ages found itself in a situation, the muslims have taken over the europe and they were coming to the Roman empire to take over. If they would have won the war then the Europe would have fully been truned into muslim continent. It was through the Charles that the war was won using the name of Jesus to go to war. At that point and time the church had  to be real, they were faced up with the greatest war that they have ever seen and if they loose then the priests were going to die along with their temples and many other people, they had to be real. What do i mean? I am beginning to understand that situation are meant to help us to be true to ourselves,  true to who we are and who God is. So many of us think that we know and understan...
