Evicting The Uninvited
Demons are like mosquitoes; they don’t read signs. The moment they see an opening, they enter. What opens doors to demons? Sin. Fear. Anger. But a stronghold is how they stay. Strongholds are developed by how we think, and demons feed on the negative thoughts in our minds. That’s why we’re called to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Hell must pack up and leave.
Singapore – The Lion of the East
In 1978, the late Evangelist Dr. Billy Graham preached at the Singapore National Stadium for 5 days, and over 337,000 people attended. That’s about 10% of the total population of 3 million then. After the crusade, Christianity went up by about 4%, resulting in a tipping point for the Christian faith. He gave a word that Singapore would be the ‘Antioch of Asia’. What does that mean and how can we become the ‘Lion of the East’?
A Masterclass in Evangelism
My friend, J John says, “God is not willing that any should perish, so He devises ingenuous ways to reach them.” John 4, the story of the Samaritan woman, is one of them. It’s an EPIC story – a masterclass in Evangelism where the Master Himself demonstrates how to fish. Interestingly, that was the longest recorded conversation Jesus had with anyone in the Bible. Food for thought?
Anointed For Increase
The size of a church is not a good indicator of how healthy it is. God anoints His Church for increase, not by sheer numbers or size, but by the quality of disciples trained and thrust forth into the harvest field. May our goal not be to grow a big church, but a big people!
Activate
Think back to the time when you first received the revelation of God’s call and destiny; the realisation that He had a plan for your life. Your divine assignment often comes when you’re young or young in the faith. God prophetically shows you what you’ll do many years before you’re activated to do it. Then He puts in a key, turns it, and activates what He had already deposited in you many years before.
The Evil Eye
In Mark 7, as the Lord was exposing the wickedness of men’s hearts, one of the evils He mentioned was the ‘Evil Eye’. It’s more that just miserliness or envy; but a destructive force that can release a curse on others. God wants to wash the filth over our eyes and give us ‘Good Eyes’ to see through His Eyes.
How To Discern The Right Door
There are many doors that we’ll encounter in our lifetime. They come in every shape, size, and form, and each leads down a certain pathway. Some to great joy and fulfilment, others to pain and disappointment. We need to learn the wisdom of how to go through the correct door.
The Great Women Army of Psalm 68
Psalm 68 is a magnificent psalm that depicts God as the warrior-king. It begins with the battle cry of Moses, “Let God arise and all His enemies be scattered”. But verse 11 is pivotal. It says, “The Lord gave the word and great was the company that proclaimed it”. The word for ‘company’ is in the feminine gender, and I’m certain that women will play a pivotal role in what God is doing in the last days, especially the MOTHERS.
Wars and Rumours of Wars
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know we’re entering into a season of conflict. Scriptures say, ‘First the natural, then the spiritual.’ Jesus predicted this when He said we’ll hear of wars and rumours of wars. What is God saying? How do we prepare for this time of conflict, remembering that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers of darkness.
The Prophetic Dilemma – Dealing with false prophets and prophecies
Not since the scandals of tele-evangelists like Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggert in the 1980s, to the more recent ‘failed’ prophecies of Donald Trump’s re-election, and now the exposé of men like Shawn Bolz, Mike Bickle, and a host of other lesser names, has the Church (especially Pentecostals and Charismatics), come under such a barrage of criticism. I don’t have all the answers, but I can give a response from a biblical point of view.
