Daily Devotional: PRAY FOR GOD’S PEOPLE IN DISTRESS

DAGSTUKKIES UIT DIE BYBEL: LEEF IN WAARHEID En julle sal begryp wat die waarheid beteken, en die waarheid sal julle vrymaak (Johannes 8:32). Ons is deur God se Woord geskape en sy Woord is waarheid; dit beteken dat ons deur die waarheid geskape is. Dit is waarom die waarheid ’n ewige uitwerking op jou gees het; dit het ’n ewige effek van sukses, oorwinning, voorspoed en gesondheid in jou lewe, want die waarheid is jou bron. Daarom vernietig valsheid, bedrog, misleiding, leuens en om te jok die menslike gees. Om te jok stem nie ooreen met jou geaardheid nie. Sommige mense vertel leuens uit vreesRead More →

Daily Devotional: THE REAL FIGHT

Daily Devotional: LIVE IN TRUTH And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32). We were created by God’s Word, and His Word is truth; that means we were created by truth. This is why truth has an effect on your spirit; it has an eternal effect of success, victory, prosperity, health in your life, because truth is your source. That’s why falsehood, deceit, deception, lies and lying destroy the human spirit. Lying isn’t consistent with your nature. Some people tell lies out of fear of punishment, while others do it for plain deception. Whatever your excuse might be,Read More →

Daily Devotional: THE REAL FIGHT

Daily Devotional: THE REAL FIGHT Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses (1 Timothy 6:12). Not many people understand what it is to fight, and by that I don’t mean physical combat; I’m talking about the fight of faith. The fight of faith is the conflict between our earthly transient temporal circumstances and our spiritual realities. It is the unleashing of our faith on the rebellious circumstances of time to compel changes to correspond with our stubborn faith proclamations. It’s not a fight with the devil; it’sRead More →

Daily Devotional: THE REAL FIGHT

DAGSTUKKIES UIT DIE BYBEL: DIE WARE STRYD Stry die goeie stryd vir dit waarin ons glo. Hou stewig vas aan die ewige lewe wat God jou gegee het, en wat jy so opreg bely het voor baie getuies (1 Timoteus 6:12). Nie baie mense verstaan wat dit is om te veg nie en daarmee bedoel ek nie vuisgevegte nie. Ek praat van die geloofstryd. Die geloofstryd is die konflik tussen ons aardse, kortstondige, tydelike omstandighede en ons geestelike werklikhede. Dit is die vrystelling van ons geloof oor opstandige omstandighede van tyd om veranderinge af te dwing, sodat dinge ooreen sal stem met ons hardnekkige geloofsverklarings.Read More →

Daily Devotional: DON’T KEEP GRUDGES

DAGSTUKKIES UIT DIE BYBEL: MOENIE WROKKE KOESTER NIE Daarom moet julle julle sondes teenoor mekaar bely en vir mekaar bid sodat julle gesond kan word. Die gebed van iemand wie se saak met God reg is, het ’n kragtige werking (Jakobus 5:16). ‘n Dienaar het eenkeer ’n verhaal vertel van twee vroue in sy Kerk wat lank gestry het. Een van hulle het vir ’n paar jaar skildklier probleme gehad en ten spyte van sy gebede vir haar, het dit nie genees nie. Die tweede vrou kon nie die Heilige Gees ontvang nie; sy kon net nie in tale bid nie, al het hy verskeieRead More →

Daily Devotional: DON’T KEEP GRUDGES

Daily Devotional: DON’T KEEP GRUDGES Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much (James 5:16). A minister once told a story of two women in his church who were quarreling for a long time. One of them had a goitre for several years, and in spite of his prayers for her, it wouldn’t heal. The second woman couldn’t receive the Holy Spirit; she just couldn’t speak in other tongues, even though he had prayed for her several times to receive the Holy Spirit. One Sunday morning, whileRead More →

Daily Devotional: HE DWELLS IN YOU NOW

DAGSTUKKIES UIT DIE BYBEL: HY WOON NOU IN JOU En as Ek gegaan en vir julle plek ingerig het, kom Ek terug en sal julle na My toe neem sodat julle ook kan wees waar Ek is (Johannes 14:3). Baie mense verstaan nie waarvan Jesus hier praat nie. Sommige bespiegel dat Hy gepraat het oor die Wederkoms of die Wegraping, maar dit is nie waaroor Hy in hierdie vers gepraat het nie. Om te verstaan wat Jesus bedoel, moet jy in die konteks bly en Sy boodskap met jou gees verstaan, nie met jou sintuie nie. Hy het hierdie interessante gesprek voortgesit tot by dieRead More →

Daily Devotional: HE DWELLS IN YOU NOW

Daily Devotional: HE DWELLS IN YOU NOW And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also (John 14:3). Many don’t understand what Jesus was talking about in the scripture above. Some have speculated that He was talking the Second Coming or the Rapture, but that’s not what He was talking about in that verse. To understand what Jesus meant, you’ll have to stay in the context, and understand His message with your spirit, not with your senses. He continued this interesting discourse till He got toRead More →

Daily Devotional: FAITH FOR THE RAPTURE

DAGSTUKKIES UIT DIE BYBEL: GELOOF VIR DIE WEGRAPING Dit sal dadelik, ja, in ’n oogwink gebeur, wanneer die laaste trompet weerklink. Want as die trompet sy klank laat hoor, sal die dooies met onverganklike liggame opgewek word. En dan sal ons ook verander word (1 Korintiërs 15:52). Nie almal gaan die geluid van die trompet hoor nie. Dit sal slegs hoorbaar wees vir die Christene wat reeds in Christus gesterf het en diegene wat op daardie stadium nog leef. Alle ander mense sal dit nie hoor nie, want die trompetklank sal net deur die geloof gehoor word. Dit is nie iets wat jy jou gaanRead More →

Daily Devotional: FAITH FOR THE RAPTURE

Daily Devotional: FAITH FOR THE RAPTURE In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed (1 Corinthians 15:52). At the Rapture, not everyone will hear the sound of the trumpet. It’ll be audible only to the Christians who died in Christ already and those alive at the time. Everybody else won’t hear it, because the sound of the trumpet would only be heard by faith. It’s not something you’re going to make an effort to hear, because as a Christian, you already live byRead More →
