Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results

Einstein's definition of insanity is one that is worth pondering for our lives and walk with God. Many of us are caught in a rut and many are crying out for breakthroughs in their lives but when things do not turn out as we wished them to be, we never seem to reflect and find the answers as to what could actually go wrong. And we continued in our circles (or cycles) of defeat, discouragement and depression. Guyon described repentance as the highest...

Kingdom Focus, Perseverance

Another rare commodity among the followers of Jesus today is the F word, spelled F.O.C.U.S. Every one seems to be chasing the latest fad in town. We are more keen to run around seeking the so-called latest revelations than to be content and focussed in one's call and vocation. We need men and women who are focussed in their pursuit of God and the establishment of His Kingdom on this earth. Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight...

This is the beautiful mystery of our salvation. When we repent and receive Jesus Christ into...

Kingdom Tenacity

Elisha demonstrated a different spirit than the rest of the trainee prophets of his day when he persistently refused to be separated from Elijah. Even when Elijah himself asked him to stay put and stop following him, he cried out to his master, I will not leave you! We understand from numerous Biblical accounts that such "a different spirit" indeed made a difference which ultimately determines the destiny of men and women throughout the ages. In...

Prophetic Insights 2011 - Part II

The earlier post on the prophetic insight for 2011 was a short one and I hope to build upon that post and perhaps share more on what I believe the Lord is doing amongst His people in 2011 and beyond. To many believers today, the season we are in is akin to the Biblical time when Elijah was to be taken away. It is a time of the revealing of the true sons of Elijah. Elisha wanted to be affirmed as the true son of Elijah when he asked for the "double...
