Daily Devotional: LIVING IN CHRIST So then, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in Him (Colossians 2:6 NIV). Before we review Paul’s amazing submission in the verse above, let’s read what he said in the 20th verse: “Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances” (Colossians 2:20). Notice his amazing communication; he says the Christian doesn’t live in this world, in this natural plane of life. Where then does the Christian live? He lives in Christ! Christ is the homeRead More →

DAGSTUKKIES UIT DIE BYBEL: WEES ALTYD BEDAG OP EN SENSITIEF VIR DIE GEES Wees versigtig! Pas op vir die duiwel se aanvalle. Hy is julle groot vyand. Hy loop rond soos ’n brullende leeu, op soek na iemand om te verslind (1 Petrus 5:8). Op ’n dag, terwyl Jesus in een van die sinagoges geleer het, het Hy ’n vrou opgemerk wat vooroor gebuk was; sy kon nie regop staan nie. Sy was vir agtien jaar in daardie toestand. Toe sê Jesus vir haar: “…Vrou, jy is van jou kwaal genees!” Toe het Hy haar aangeraak en sy kon dadelik regop staan. Hoe het syRead More →

Daily Devotional: ALERT AND SENSITIVE IN THE SPIRIT ALWAYS Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). On a certain day, as Jesus taught in one of the synagogues, He noticed a woman who was bent double; she couldn’t straighten herself. She had been in that condition for eighteen years. Then, Jesus said to her, “…Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God” (Luke 13:12-13). Although the religious leaders present were indignant that Jesus healedRead More →

Daily Devotional: YOUR NAME IN THE BOOK OF LIFE And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life… (Revelation 22:19). Many have assumed that when someone gives his heart to Christ, that’s when his name is written in the Book of Life. But that isn’t what the Bible teaches. It’s never really about your name being written in the Book of Life; the problem is about being removed from the Book of Life. In Exodus 32:32, Moses said to God, “…blot me, I pray thee, outRead More →

DAGSTUKKIES UIT DIE BYBEL: JOU NAAM IN DIE BOEK VAN DIE LEWE En as iemand een van die woorde van hierdie profetiese boekrol wegneem, sal God sy deel wegneem aan die boom van die lewe en aan die heilige stad waarvan in hierdie boekrol geskryf is (Openbaring 22:19). Baie mense neem aan dat, wanneer iemand sy hart aan Christus gee, sy naam in die Boek van die Lewe geskryf word. Maar dit is nie wat die Bybel leer nie. Dit gaan nooit regtig daaroor dat jou naam in die Boek van die Lewe geskryf word nie; die probleem is wanneer iemand uit die Boek vanRead More →

Daily Devotional: PURCHASED BY HIS BLOOD For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s (1 Corinthians 6:20). In 1 Corinthians 11:25, the Bible records that Jesus took “…the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.” His blood represents His life; He gave His life for us that we may live. It just lets you know how important you are to God. The Bible says we weren’t bought with silver or gold orRead More →

DAGSTUKKIES UIT DIE BYBEL: GEKOOP MET SY BLOED Want julle is duur gekoop. Verheerlik God dan in julle liggaam en in julle gees wat aan God behoort (1 Korintiërs 6:20). In 1 Korintiërs 11:25 het Jesus: “…die wynbeker ná die maaltyd geneem en gesê: “Hierdie beker is die nuwe verbond wat verseël is deur my bloed. Gebruik dit, elke keer as julle daaruit drink, ter herinnering aan My.” Sy bloed verteenwoordig sy lewe; Hy het sy lewe vir ons gegee, sodat ons kan lewe. Dit wys net weer vir jou hoe belangrik jy vir God is. Die Bybel sê dat ons nie met silwer ofRead More →

Daily Devotional: BE CONSCIOUS OF YOUR LIFE IN CHRIST Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). When you read in the verse above, “…as he is, so are we in this world,” it’s not talking us being like Jesus before He died, but the resurrected Jesus with eternal life. We have the same life with Him now. The Bible says, “He that hath the Son hath life…” (1 John 5:12). If you have Jesus, you have eternal life—the God-life; it’s not the biologicalRead More →

DAGSTUKKIES UIT DIE BYBEL: WEES BEWUS VAN JOU LEWE IN CHRISTUS Hierin het die liefde by ons volmaak geword, dat ons vrymoedigheid kan hê in die oordeelsdag; want soos Hy is, is ons ook in hierdie wêreld (1 Johannes 4:17). Waar jy in die vers hierbo lees: “… soos Hy is, is ons ook in hierdie wêreld…”, verwys dit nie na Jesus voor sy dood nie, maar na die opgestane Jesus met die ewige lewe! Ons het nou dieselfde lewe as Hy. Die Bybel sê: “Hy wat die Seun het, het die lewe …” (1 Johannes 5:12). Indien jy Jesus het, het jy die ewigeRead More →
