And he said, I will not do it if there are forty. 30And he said, Let not the Lord be angry with me if I say, What if there are thirty there? And he said, I will not do it if there are thirty. 31And he said, See now, I have undertaken to put my thoughts before the Lord: what if there are twenty there?

(1 Cor. 3: 12-15)

Why did Jesus have to go to the cross? In this message we provide some of the answers to this question.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (Hebrews 11: 1 - 3)

“Behold, the dwelling of God is with humanity, and he will take up residence with them, and they will be his people and God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will not exist any longer, and mourning or wailing or pain will not exist any longer.

Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are sexual immorality, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, things which I am telling you in advance, just as I said before, that the ones who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. (GALATIANS 5: 19 - 21)

Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and he may send the Christ appointed for you—Jesus,
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees—hypocrites!—because you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and of everything unclean! 28 In the same way, on the outside you also appear righteous to people, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness."

The church must begin to walk and demonstrate 5 expressions of God's grace on our lives as house. He is installing new features in our DNA for us to walk in this.
We need to revisit the condition and nature of the Gospel that we preach. We need to preach the Gospel that the 1st Century church preached.
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28: 18 - 20)
"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy."

THERE IS A HERITAGE THAT GOD WANTS US TO PASS DOWN TO OUR CHILDREN, THERE IS ALSO A HERITAGE THAT SATAN WANTS US TO PASS DOWN TO FUTURE GENERATIONS.
The Lamb's Bride must protect the oil, for without it, we will never find our way to the Bride. In the last days there will be an attack on the oil, there will be an oil deficit, so that light doesn't come out of us.
“But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. 12 So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ (Matthew 22: 11-13)

For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! 7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” 8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. (Revelation 19: 6-8)
One of the greatest challenges in the church today is trying to walk with God yet leaving our hearts behind. The Father does not want to walk with a shell of a Christian, He wants to to lead my heart. He wants to walk in between the pieces of my circumcised heart, in covenant.
Our relationship with God is not a business partnership. We are not in a consultancy relationship with God, we are in a marriage type relationship. A marriage relationship is about love and trust. When we are not faithful, He is really hurt.
Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” (Matthew 9:37)

As long as we are carrying the weight of unforgiveness, disappointment, rejection, etc, we won't be effective in battle. Your pain was not just meant for you, for generations after you. Learn Satan uses your pain for his own gain and make a decision to bring a stop to it through forgiveness and repentance.
Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. (Romans 8: 26- 27)
We will not rescue this generation....if they are still heavier than what we are building in the spirit. We must learn to smuggle heaven each day, gain some weight in the spirit in order to carry our generation. There is a particular weight of glory that is required of the church.
In the age of robotics, 3D printing, the 4th industrial revolution, transhumanism, etc, Jesus remains relevant. He is the only one who can deal with human sin. He is the only one who can give us what money cannot buy. We therefore need to assign Jesus the central place in out life. In the year 2030 will Jesus still be relevant?
We need to assign Jesus the central place in out life. In the year 2030 will Jesus still be relevant?
In the world there are grown sinners, the church must also grow into full maturity. There are indicators or milestones that we must experience as God's people. We must grow from strength to strength and from glory to glory. We are not to remain children, but must develop into full maturity.
How the Lord want us to serve Him, what really does He expect from us as His Church in 2020 and beyond?
There is a land that God wants us to occupy. We need to walk the breadth and length of the land surveying it, so that we know the fruit of the land and the enemy in the land. Prayerlessness emanates from a place where Christians don't know the land God has given them.
As Satan prepares to bring the Antichrist onto the scene, the church is going to be his main target, so as to remove or weaken the resistance to his plans - the Church.
We are now in a time when we need to begin to have discussions about the true Church. We must know how the Church looks like and how a real believer "looks" like. We must know the features of the true Church ....and features/ mark's of a believer.
You must know if you are part of God's church, or a part of a parallel religious structure that has all the trappings of the church but it's actually not.
The agenda of the enemy is to deprive God of His inheritance. He disciples them via different media platforms to be atheistic and hardened. Miracles in the Bible are outdone in the virtual world, so that the Bible seems boring and not much of a big deal. We need the Holy Spirit.
As the enemy prepares to release the antichrist, he seeks to further possess society by collapsing the family structure. He is removing father from their children. We need a revival in the family.
The Church has been given the power to restrain the enemy. For this to happen the Church must distinguish herself from the world and be separate. We are the only official priesthood in the earth, we are His legal partner.
Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. (Luke 10:19) Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. (Acts 1:8)
The Holy Spirit is the restorer of nations and destinies of men. He has been hard at work over the centuries in His restorative role. He is looking for people to work through, as He continues to glorify Jesus and to prepare the Bride.
When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (Acts 2: 1 - 4)
The Holy Spirit has always been involved in the affairs of man. He has always been there to get the will of the Father done. As early as the first book of Genesis. He is not the Spirit of Pentecostals or a New Testament phenomenon. He broods over creation so that life can come.
God is King, Kings by their very nature, want to rule. God is honoured when we allow Him to rule over us and through us. God's dilemma is that He can only express His Kingship through us. It honours Him when His will is enforced through His people.
We are born into a wicked system in the world called "The World System." It requires not much from us, other than compliance. As God's people we must resist this. Through the renewal of our minds by God's Word and prayer, we are able to disconnect and resist the system. We are in the world but not of the world. We must not conform.
If we don't pray, we collaborate with the enemy in consolidating the status quo. Prayerlessness freezes fulfillment of prophecy.
As God's people we must reprogram time through prayer and bring an alignment between our preordained purpose and our reality here on earth.
God wants you to pray because He has an interest in your answered prayer. Answered prayer fulfills prophecy.
The Lord is calling us to a new place of power and influence, wherein strong altars and priesthood must be restored.
Our lives must be aligned with God's preordained kingdom purpose. This requires faith and a militant attitude to enforce.
Spiritual warfare must be conducted in the right territory and atmosphere if we are to defeat the enemy. We must not fight him in his own backyard. We must fight in an uncontaminated atmosphere - a holy place.
The Lord's resurrection opened a door for us to get stones at the mouth of our destinies rolled away as well. He is risen, He lives forever more.
Now that Jesus had been put on on the cross, there was still one chance that Jesus was going to trip at the last hurdle. That last hurdle was the condition of His heart. What was going to be the state of His mind and heart before He dies. His last Words were going to be important to reveal this.
12 ‘For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord. 13 Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. (Exodus 12: 12 - 13)
The Lord invites us to live past ourselves, past our needs and to live in a real that allows for Him to receive return on the investment that He made through Christ Jesus. He has an inheritance that He must be afforded and only a certain breed of Christians can give Him.
Our broken dreams and our threatened dream must be handed over to the Lord, when this happens peace comes and they become surrendered.
There is a place called hell, it is the eternal dwelling place of all those who reject God. It was never meant for humanity, but for the devil and his angels.
The Father wants us to win souls. The Great Commission has become the great omission. The Father trusts us to partner Him
As God's people we have been called to walk in our kingly mandate on earth. As kings we must: 1) UPHOLD THE LAW, 2) RULE & REIGN and 3) ADMINISTER JUSTICE.
This is the last message on our priesthood as believers. We have been called to represent the Father on earth. We have been called to keep the menorah burning.
We have been calĺed to be a kingdom of priests. Priesthood is not for special people, it is for al of us.
Our identity in the Lord must be affirmed in the three realms, i.e in heaven, in the demonic realm and on earth. It's not enough to confess or declare our identity, it must be confessed as such, elsewhere as well.
We must not allow the world, our past or our circumstances to define our identity. We must allow the Word to reintroduce us to ourselves. Whatever the Word says, that is who we are.
1) When was Jesus born? 2) What does the term "Christmas" mean, 3) Was Jesus born on the 25th of December?, 4) What is the meaning of the Christmas tree? 5) Who is Santa Claus?
The enemy wants to ensure that every area of our lives resembles a valley of dry bone. The Father wants us to prophesy to the dry valley and reverse it.
This message brings to a conclusion a six week series on covenant. We are people of covenant.
Having discussed the Words of the New Covenant in the last episode, this one focuses on the terms and conditions, which is essentially our part of the deal in our covenant with God.
There are things that are kept in heaven, that God cannot release until people of covenant arise.
Covenant is an agreement between God and man. He agrees that what belongs to Him belongs to me, and I also agree that what belongs to me, also belongs to him.
The Lord has called us into a covenant relationship with Him. It is not a one night stand, but a committed partnership, that cost Him blood.
In this message Pastor Nonhlanhla Gcabashe gives us a deeper understanding of what water baptism signifies in the spirit and also other ramifications of being baptized.
Every ministry is built from the core. The core is the ministry's foundation, it consists of men and women whom the Lord appoints for that purpose.
The future of this generation looks like the sacrifices watchmen are willing to make on its behalf.
The Tale of the Two Gardens is about the Garden of Eden and the Garden of Gethsemane. Eden was a place of the voices, namely, the voice of God, the voice of man and the voice of the serpent. Adam obeyed the voice of the serpent. Gethsemane is a restoration of what was lost in the first garden.
