Daily Devotional: THE GOSPEL IS IN YOUR TRUST

Daily Devotional: THE GOSPEL IS IN YOUR TRUST O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called (1 Timothy 6:20). The word “trust” in the scripture above is an interesting Greek word, “parakatathēkē” and it means a deposit, the investment of your personality. Something has been deposited in you.

Jy moet tot die besef kom dat die evangelie, dieselfde boodskap wat jou lewe gered het, aan jou toevertrou is. Paulus het dit geweet. In 1 Timoteus 1:11 het hy bevestig: “Volgens die evangelie van die heerlikheid van die salige God wat aanRead More →

Daily Devotional: WE’VE GOT TO PREACH IT

Daily Devotional: WE’VE GOT TO PREACH IT In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour (Titus 1:2-3). We’ve got to preach the Word; we’ve got to tell the untold, or they’ll never have the chance to believe it and be saved. Romans 10:13-14 says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believeRead More →

Daily Devotional: INSPIRED AND AFIRE ALWAYS

Daily Devotional: INSPIRED AND AFIRE ALWAYS Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest (Joshua 1:9). Since the day I received the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, I’ve never ran out of inspiration. The key is fellowship with the Holy Spirit! That’s the secret of ALWAYS being inspired and afire for the Lord. The Holy Spirit should be your number one driving force in life. Without Him, life is a drag; dull, empty and vain! Christianity without the HolyRead More →

Daily Devotional: PRAY FOR GOD’S PEOPLE IN DISTRESS

Daily Devotional: PRAY FOR GOD’S PEOPLE IN DISTRESS Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you (2 Thessalonians 3:1). In Acts 12:1-2, the Bible says, “…Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.” When the Church heard that James had been arrested, they must have thought, “James arrested? Nothing will happen to him; he’s a man of faith.” But once James was killed, it got their attention. “Where was God? How did GodRead More →
