The Powers



With the US election this week, we can pray for the best and expose the worst but in the end, God will have whoever it is over us to accomplish His purpose.  Our final ruler we look forward to will be not through election but with power and majesty. Our Lord God and Saviour will return soon and every knee shall bow to Him and every power that is not from Him will cease, even the present, deceiving god of this world (2 Cor 4:4; Eph 6:12).

Humanity gave this devil his power at the beginning and continues to by making their own desires more important (Rom 1:23-25) but Jesus took back that authority as the only Son of man that kept God's will first. While we await His return as King of kings, we can be assured that He will see us through all things in life. When we put Jesus at the centre of our lives, "the power that lives in us is greater than the one who is in the world" (1 John 4:4).

Through His Spirit alone dwelling in us (Rom 8:11), we have power over evil (Luke 4:6; 10:19). Nothing can separate us from His love and protection when we put Him at the centre of our lives and not things of our own imagination (2 Cor 10:5; Rom 8: 35, 37-39).

Turn to Him and be an overcomer to sit in power with Him (Rev 3:21; Eph 2:6) and have victory (peace, love, and abundant life) in your life now (Deut 20:4; 1 Cor 15:57; Phil 4:13) and at His return!

Tithing - Is it a requirement?

 A Tithe = a tenth. Although Jesus makes a reference to the tithe of the priests (Matthew 23:23), the tithe is only mentioned in detail in the Old Testament. Never is any reference to a tithe made in relation to the Christian believer under the New Covenant. A tithe is first mentioned when Abram gave a tenth of his spoils of war to a Melchizedek, a Priest-King of righteousness and peace. This was a one-off offering given without pressure or commandment. These were not his own possessions, increase or earnings but plunder taken from others (Heb 7:4). In fact, Abram also returned the rest of the spoils back to the Kings he took them from so that they could not say that they had made him rich. Jacob also volunteered a tenth of all God gave to him. Both Jacobs and Abrams's gifts of a tithe were voluntary and never commanded or compelled by God or anyone else. There were 4 main tithe laws in the Old Testament: A tithe to the Levites as their inheritance as they had no land allocated to

When is the Rapture?

The rapture is the belief that just before the end time tribulation. It is believed that the rapture is when the saints that are still alive just before the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, will be taken up to heaven. In this article, we look at this doctrine and find out when is the rapture to take place. We shall examine scripture for the rapture and come to a conclusive answer taken only from God's Truth - His Word, inspired by the Holy Spirit. Before we look into this in detail keep in mind: This belief is NOT a requirement for salvation. What is the rapture? Many churches and ministers teach that there will be a rapture (delivery) of the saints at the end time before the tribulation. It is actually now a very popular belief and a hope looked for before the “Anti-Christ” and the Devil cause havoc on Earth. Let’s examine where this belief comes from and examine the scriptures. The doctrine of a "pre-tribulation rapture" suggests that believers will be ta

The Bible - Handbook to Life

  Some say that life didn’t come with a manual but it did. The Holy Bible is your handbook to life from beginning to end. Not only that but it gives you all the answers to where you came from, why everything happens in the world and what happens to you in the next world. In this brief article, I will show you why it is the only authority to be trusted, how it can be used to test and prove all things and how the Bible can change your life forever. Take hold of your Bible, your handbook to life, and follow me through as we take a look at it together. What is the Bible? The Bible is not one book, it is a collection of 66 books and letters. These books were written by different authors over a period of at least 1,400 years. However, all these books tie together and provide one central message, the Kingdom of God and your part in it. Without going into too much technical detail, the books in our Bibles were translated from ancient manuscripts. You can view a complete list of versions and h
