Personal Reflection of 2014

If anything characterises this year is: For I know the plans I have for you,they are plans not to harm you but to prosper you and give you a hope. This verse spoke to me this year. It spoke because it is set against the context of great difficulty. It is set against great changes where what we sometimes take for granted gets changed drastically. This year is summed up through this picture too: The reason this picture is SIGNIFICANT was that I took the family to Weymouth and from there many changes took place. It has not been an … Continue reading Personal Reflection of 2014

The REAL story of Christmas Part 7: The Invitation to touch and see

This will be the last message of Christmas. Not that Christmas is over but because when the Spirit births messages we know when to stop a theme. The culmination of the Christmas story is obviously the birth of Yeshua. But around this birth it seems that God selected those to witness and touch the Saviour. The shepherd’s were visited by angels. The wise men were led by a star. Anna and Simeon were led by the Spirit to the temple. God leads in different ways. God reveals in different ways. What is important is that God selected those to be … Continue reading The REAL story of Christmas Part 7: The Invitation to touch and see

The REAL story of Christmas Part 6: Small beginnings bring eternal changes

I am not a proponent of the world’s interpretation of Christmas nor the traditional stories. We can only go on the scriptures to know. We have made a cave into a stable,3 wise men in 3 kings. Many things have been distorted or even added. But nothing changes the fact that Yeshua was born into the world. The LOGOS became flesh. Or rather what God the Father in all His intentions made them come to life in Yeshua. All great things start in small beginnings. There is a need for us to see change. Change comes in processes. Jesus grew … Continue reading The REAL story of Christmas Part 6: Small beginnings bring eternal changes

The REAL story of Christmas Part 5 : the risks to being part of God’s purposes

When you consider 2 women: Mary and Elisabeth. Both were to bear shame for being with child. One having borne in old age, the other betrothed and known no man. Nor should she. The moral is: to carry the new things of God carries a risk. The risks are being in shame,ridiculed,loss of social standing,isolation. So what we are saying is: THERE IS A PRICE TO PAY. What price are you paying to follow Christ? In some countries the price is one’s own life. But to carry the new we must allow God’s own purpose reign over our SELF PRESERVATION! … Continue reading The REAL story of Christmas Part 5 : the risks to being part of God’s purposes

The REAL story of Christmas Part 4: Coming Home

Today the Lord showed me in my imagination the reason for no accommodation in Bethlehem. The dispersed were coming home. The census served to bring God’s people home. God wants to bring us home. In the sense that sometimes a geographic move brings us into the right place for God to fulfil His Promises. Christmas is about home and family. And home means rest and contentment. We have studied before that God has ENTERED HIS REST. EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ESTABLISHED ON THE EARTH HAS ALREADY BEEN DETERMINED IN HEAVEN. Therefore we must enter into the REST God provided … Continue reading The REAL story of Christmas Part 4: Coming Home

They … Continue reading The REAL story of Christmas Part 3: The Consolation of Israel

The REAL meaning of Christmas Part 2: How kings go into obscurity

I was meditating on the beauty of the real Christmas story. Not the traditional mix that children are given every year. The mix between baby Jesus and Santa. But rather the 2 Gospels that tell stories of the Birth. They are beautiful and rich in the interaction and celestial activity. The Lord interrupted my thinking in the story with some startling facts. He said that would be my new message. I have taken my time to mature this message because the tendency is to get straight to paper and publish rapidly what God showed me. Rather I have taken more … Continue reading The REAL meaning of Christmas Part 2: How kings go into obscurity
