God's plan is a process
Ephesians 5:26 ‘so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word.’ This takes place through the agent of His love. The church is actually a process and not a destination. I have often heard people say that they are so happy to have found a spiritual home and…
The Church is God's chosen vehicle
The church has and always will be the chosen vehicle of our Saviour. That is how He planned it from the start and nothing has changed His plan over the centuries. We may consider it a flawed and problematic choice, but it remains His choice. He chose the church as His divine vehicle for His body to…
Jesus Christ loves His church
He is our example in every aspect. We should set our sights on following His example. We should follow His example in all we do and say. We should not model our lives on others or on other things, but we should model our lives on Him. Our lives should be shaped by His example and…
God has the miracle that you need
2 Kings 4:6 “Bring me another jar,” she said to her sons. “There aren’t any more!” they told her. And then the oil stopped flowing! The oil is a picture of the Holy Spirit. The oil of the anointing and the presence of God in our lives will start flowing as we give ourselves to God…
Obedience leads to miracles
2 Kings 4:5 So she did. Her sons brought the pots and pans to her, and she filled one after another! The issue is that we must obey. The issue is ‘SO SHE DID!’ We must do the same. OBEY! We must not stop in our obedience. Continue obeying. This lady still had no…
When God works it is deep within us first
When God started to work in my life He told me He was going to change my heart. I did not think that there was anything wrong with my heart. I thought God would just mightily touch me, I never thought he was going to touch and change me. As strange as it seems, let God…
God uses what we have
We need to know where to go when life has left us battle-scarred and hurt. The lady in 2 Kings 4 knew that she had to get help and she knew that God would have to be the source of the help. 2 Kings 4:1 One day the wife of one of the seminary students came to…
Miracles in the process
2 Kings 4:1-7 One day the wife of one of the seminary students came to Elisha to tell him of her husband’s death. He was a man who had loved God, she said. But he had owed some money when he died, and now the creditor was demanding it back. If she didn’t pay, he said…
Being at home
Being at home is the most wonderful thing. What does ‘being at home’ mean to you? How do you describe the feeling of ‘being at home’? Here are a few suggestions: A sense of security. The knowledge that you are where you belong. Knowing that you are accepted as you are. Knowing that you are loved….
God, working within us
We need to be clothed with His power. Luke 24:49 ‘ … clothed with power from on high.’ Perhaps you don’t feel you qualify, perhaps you feel weak. Then you are a perfect candidate. 2 Corinthians 12:9 ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ When we are weak…
