Daily Devotional: THE WORD ALIVE IN YOU

DAGSTUKKIES UIT DIE BYBEL: DIE WOORD IS LEWEND IN JOU En die Woord het mens geword en by ons kom woon. Ons het sy heerlikheid duidelik gesien, ’n heerlikheid soos dié van die enigste Seun van die Vader, vol liefdevolle goedheid en waarheid (Johannes 1:14). Kersfees beteken dat die Woord gekom het; die Woord is gebore. Die Woord het vlees geword en in die strate geloop; hulle het sy heerlikheid aanskou totdat Hy gekruisig is. Maar God het Hom opgewek en openlik, met baie onteenseglike bewyse, gewys dat Hy sou leef. Nou bly Hy in jou. Prys die Here! Hulle het op die Woord gewag,Read More →

Daily Devotional: THE WORD ALIVE IN YOU

Daily Devotional: THE WORD ALIVE IN YOU And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth (John 1:14). Christmas means the Word has come; the Word is born. The Word became flesh and walked the streets; they beheld His glory until He was slain. But God raised Him up and showed Him openly to be alive with many infallible proofs. Now, He abides in you. Praise God! They waited for the Word, expected His glory that the prophets spoke about; they expected His light,Read More →

Daily Devotional: CHRISTMAS EVERY DAY

DAGSTUKKIES UIT DIE BYBEL: ELKE DAG KERSFEES Want ons is God se handewerk. Hy het ons in ons eenheidsband met Christus Jesus só gemaak dat ons die goeie werke wat Hy vir ons bestem het, kan uitlewe (Efesiërs 2:10). Jesus is gebore sodat mense die goeie lewe kan hê, soos ons teksgedeelte onthul. In Johannes 10:10 het Hy gesê: “Ék het gekom sodat hulle lewe kan hê, ja, sodat hulle dit oorvloedig het.” Jy is nie gebore om bloot te lewe nie, maar om die goeie lewe te lei wat Hy vooraf vir jou voorberei het – ’n uitstekende lewe. Nou kan jy vol entoesiasme,Read More →

Daily Devotional: CHRISTMAS EVERY DAY

Daily Devotional: CHRISTMAS EVERY DAY For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew]… [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live] (Ephesians 2:10 AMPC). Jesus was born that men may have, and live the good life, as our theme scripture reveals. In John 10:10 AMPC, He said, “…I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).” You weren’t born to merely live, but to live the good life which He prepared for you ahead of time—an excellent life. Now, you can beRead More →

Daily Devotional: CELEBRATING THE INCARNATE AND THE LIVING WORD

DAGSTUKKIES UIT DIE BYBEL: VIER DIE LEWENDE EN VLEESGEWORDE …Wie My reeds gesien het, het ook reeds my Vader gesien. Hoe sê jy dan: “Wys ons die Vader? (Johannes 14:8-9). Alhoewel Kersfees, die viering van Jesus se geboorte, ongetwyfeld die gewildste vakansiedag in die wêreld is, is daar steeds baie mense wat nie weet wie Jesus regtig is nie. Vir sommige is Hy maar net ’n groot godsdiensleier. Jesus is egter nie bloot ’n godsdienstige leier of hervormer nie; Hyself is God. Jy moet die Woord van God bestudeer om dit te ontdek. In Johannes 5:39 het Jesus gesê: “… ondersoek die Skrifte, want ditRead More →

Daily Devotional: CELEBRATING THE INCARNATE AND THE LIVING WORD

Daily Devotional: CELEBRATING THE INCARNATE AND THE LIVING WORD …he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?(John 14:8-9). Even though Christmas, which is the celebration of the birth of Jesus, is inarguably the most popular holiday in the world, there are still many who don’t know who Jesus really is. To some, He’s a great religious leader. But Jesus isn’t a mere religious leader or reformist; He’s Himself, God. You have to study the Word of God to discover this. In John 5:39, Jesus said, “…search the Scriptures, for they testify of me.” The ScripturesRead More →

Daily Devotional: CHRIST ALIVE IN YOUR HEART

DAGSTUKKIES UIT DIE BYBEL: CHRISTUS WOON IN JOU HART Die dief kom vir niks anders nie as om te steel, dood te maak en te vernietig. Ék het gekom sodat hulle lewe kan hê, ja, sodat hulle dit oorvloedig het (Johannes 10:10). Kersfees gaan oor wie Jesus is en wat Hy kom doen het. Hy het nie gekom om ’n godsdiens te vestig nie. Hy het nie gekom om ons bloot te wys hoe om goeie dinge te doen nie; Hy het gekom om ons lewe te gee; God se lewe. God het ons gemaak en Hy wou hê dat ons sy soort lewe moesRead More →

Daily Devotional: CHRIST ALIVE IN YOUR HEART

Daily Devotional: CHRIST ALIVE IN YOUR HEART The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly (John 10:10). Christmas is about who Jesus is, and what He came to do. He didn’t come to establish a religion. He didn’t come to merely show us how to do good things; He came to give us life; God’s life. God made us, and He wanted us to have His kind of life, and His plan was that Jesus would be the one to give us thatRead More →

Daily Devotional: TELL IT AROUND THE WORLD

Daily Devotional: TELL IT AROUND THE WORLD And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned(Mark 16:15-16). As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, it’s important to realize that His glorious return is imminent, much closer than many realize. Therefore, we must intensify our efforts in reaching the lost, in telling the untold in our world and in the regions beyond that He is the way, the truth, and the life. Only through Him can men be savedRead More →

Daily Devotional: TELL IT AROUND THE WORLD

DAGSTUKKIES UIT DIE BYBEL: VERTEL DIT REGOOR DIE WÊRELD Toe het Hy hulle beveel:  Gaan die hele wêreld in en verkondig die Goeie Nuus aan almal, oral. Elkeen wat glo en gedoop word, sal verlos word. Maar elkeen wat nie glo nie, sal veroordeel word (Markus 16:15-16). Terwyl ons Jesus Christus se geboorte vier, is dit belangrik om te besef dat sy glorieryke wederkoms op hande is; baie nader as wat baie mense besef. Daarom moet ons ons pogings versterk om verlorenes te bereik, om dié in ons wêreld en in die streke daarbuite wat nie weet nie te vertel dat Hy die weg, dieRead More →
