Israel’s Premier Prophet
Elijah was the premier prophet in the Old Testament, no doubts about that. In Matthew 16, when Jesus and His disciples were in the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked the question, “Who do men say that I am?” Pay attention to the answers the disciples gave. The first name mentioned was John the Baptist. The 2nd was the Prophet Elijah. The 3rd was Jeremiah. In other words, these three prophets were the ones most associated with our Lord’s ministry […]
Enlarge
We’re at the cusp of a mighty revival, no doubts about that. I’m totally convinced that in the next few months, we’ll begin to see a fresh move of God. And I believe the prophetic word for this hour is ‘Enlarge’. Enlargement is not always a pleasant process. It requires for us to be stretched, be willing to be troubled, and allowing Him to challenge our status quo. In other words, it requires preparation. And whilst prayer is an essential […]
The Lord of Breakthroughs
2 Samuel 5 first introduces the Lord as “Lord of the Breakthroughs”. Some of us are stuck in this season, we may be in a turbulent situation and in need of a breakthrough. But God is establishing something far greater in us, and testing comes before a breakthrough. God’s breakthroughs must not come through our flesh. Instead, when we step out in faith and believe God for the impossible, we obtain the breakthrough and pave a way for others to […]
Protector and Defender
My job as a pastor is to feed, strengthen, heal, bind, restore and seek out those whom God has entrusted to us. In other words, I’m called to be a protector of the flock. Over the last 31 years of shepherding, in the course of defending the sheep, I’ve been threatened with violence, cursed, ridiculed, reviled, but I do not complain for one moment, because this was what I signed up for. This is my calling and ministry and God […]
The Besetting Sin of the Church
Charles Spurgeon said, “Man is such an idolater that if he cannot idolise anything else, he’ll idolise and bow down to himself.” This is an accurate statement. There’s something innate in mankind that’s drawn to things that can be touched or seen. And make no mistake about it – as idolatry was the scourge of Israel in the Bible, the same thing can be said of the Church today. It was Israel’s besetting sin, her stumbling block and Achilles’ heel, […]
Are You A Well, A Spring, A Cistern Or A River?
The moment you’re born again, God puts a ‘well’ within you, because one cannot survive without water. The well He puts in us supplies living water and once we drink of it, we’ll never desire anything else. But the key is to ensure there’s a continual supply of fresh, clean, living water from our well, and that they’re not clogged up. The moment our wells dry up, it spells danger and that should immediately be rectified. Find out if you’re […]
Are We in Pre-Revival Days?
In 1995, we had a visitation from God that lasted for about 5 months. God opened the windows of heaven over Cornerstone and it was glorious. All our programmes and planning were upended. Services lasted for 5 hours. We’ve never experienced anything like that, before or since. Then all of a sudden, it started to wane but not before we saw a 30% surge in our attendance and passion like we never had before. I’m sensing a groundswell of prayer […]
Developing a RAF in Cornerstone
We live in a world today that’s vastly different from what it used to be. The stakes are much higher and the devil is showing his hand. And he’ll walk all over us, ride roughshod on us and dictate the agenda, unless we do something about it. We must rise up against his diabolical plans. What’s needed now, more than ever before, is a prevailing company of intercessors that will ensure, through the agency of the Holy Spirit, that the […]
The Renaissance of Nobility
We’re entering into a renaissance of nobility as Christians rediscover something very noble about our new birth that we’ve somehow lost. We’ve forgotten we come from a royal lineage and we must rediscover who we really are in Christ Jesus. Heaven is an aristocracy of sorts and there are many great houses and noble families in heaven. This message is designed to inspire true nobility in all of us.We’re entering into a renaissance of nobility as Christians rediscover something very […]
O Watcher of Men
What’s the one quality needed in a watchman? He has to be awake whilst everyone else is asleep. That’s his job. A watchman has to be awake for two primary reasons. Firstly, because we’ve an enemy. When a city is asleep, the watchmen must be awake, watching for every move the enemy makes, because the lives of the people are in their hands. It’s their job to warn those who are asleep of any impending danger. Secondly, because the Master […]
