Everything that we need for life and godliness is found in the Word of God. Through the promises of God's Word, we participate in the divine nature—every time we experience the fulfilment of a promise, we come one step closer in our union with God!
I want to encourage us to not neglect the Bible because it is the key to our well-being and success. It is the most precious gift that God has ever given us! -
Building on three accounts in the gospels, I'll be sharing a powerful message on what faith is about— trusting and acting on God’s guidance, receiving by faith every step of the way.
Our challenge is to stay in faith, to keep on receiving the promises of God in our hearts, and acting like the miracle is already happening, even when nothing seems to be happening. The miracles we desire are already in motion. Keep receiving by faith! -

In this sermon, be encouraged that as we end each year and enter a brand new year, we can fully place our trust in Jesus, who always goes before us. Whenever He asks us to step out in faith, He has already gone weeks, months, or even years ahead of us in advance, to prepare everything for us. We simply need to trust in this God who always goes before us. His timing is always perfect. His ways are higher than our ways!

The Holy Spirit gives us visions and dreams (Acts 2:17). Through the power of the Holy Spirit, Mary was pregnant with a vision and dream inside her—Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world!
Through Mary's story, I'll be sharing five things about the journey of a dream. As you step out in faith to trust and obey God, He will bring you into an incredible journey, which will manifest Jesus to your world! -
Baptism in the Holy Spirit is the “crown jewel” of Pentecostal spirituality. Spirit baptism is not a baptism into tongues, power, or missions; it is a baptism into divine love, coming into union with the Triune God in their loving embrace. Love is at the centre of Spirit baptism—it is all about being filled, transformed and overflowing with divine love!

For Peter, James and John, their encounter with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration forever transformed their lives. It radically shifted how they viewed Jesus and how they viewed their lives in him.
After a glorious event and encounter, we must change. Our transformation must affect everything about our lives, until we see "no one but Jesus only" (Matthew 17:8). -
Love must be our highest goal because when love is no longer our priority, and when love has been drained out of our hearts, the measure of God in our lives will start depleting. Without love, everything we do is meaningless.
-
The Holy Spirit conforms us to the image and likeness of Christ when we serve people. In Jesus’ context, the people are often the poor and needy, especially the little children. Jesus is saying this – we are to put aside our self-importance and busyness in total abandonment to God. By serving the poorest of the poor, we purify our faith and in the end, we are the ones who are blessed and changed on the inside!
-
The Holy Spirit has given us the Antioch Church model for a purpose. Generosity was the hallmark of the Antioch Church. The more generous they were, the more dynamic they became! People who give sacrificially to strengthen the local church—to care for the poor and needy, especially the little children—will become the most dynamic, powerful and blessed people around!
-
God the Father, through the Son, pours out the Holy Spirit on all flesh as “the breath of life”. As God “inhales”, the Holy Spirit draws us into an ever-deepening communion and intimacy with the Father. As His love overwhelms us and overflows out of us, God then “exhales”—sending us out by the power of the Spirit, to share His love with others.
God has greater things in store for us—so more than ever, we need a revelation of His love, which is the secret of the Christian life! -
God's salvation plan for us is holistic—it is total salvation in our hearts, minds, souls and bodies. Every day, He is transforming us into Christlikeness. Central to our transformation process is to suffer with Jesus. To follow Jesus, we must not be afraid of self-sacrifice and hardship.
In this sermon, I'll be challenging us to not be stunted in our Christian growth. He prepares us for the kinds of sufferings believers will experience in this lifetime, and exhorts us to be unafraid, fully assured that our present pains cannot be compared to the great destiny that God has prepared for us! -
“And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love” (1 Cor. 13:13). Sharing from this well-known verse, I pray that you'll be encouraged to rededicate your life to God and go from glory to glory—in faith, hope, and love—allowing God to have His way fully in and among us. Glorious days are ahead of us!

One of the most important revelations we must have is to know who we are in God and the authority we have in His name.
The Christian life is essentially the life in Christ and in the Spirit — to live within the sphere of Christ's and the Holy Spirit's control and power. The deeper we abide in Christ, and the deeper we live and walk in the Spirit, the more we are transformed into an ever-deepening union with God! -
Your soul is the beautiful garden that God walks in. It is meant to be filled with His beauty, light and life. Unfortunately, sin so easily darkens the soul.
In this sermon. I'll share the good news of how we can ask the Holy Spirit, who is our Helper, for two gifts: 1) the fear of the LORD; and 2) the mirror of humility. God yearns for us to have them because when they are present in our souls, they allow us to set a spiritual distance between us and our sins. We will come to a place where we are no longer attached to our sins because we want something more fulfilling than those sins—God Himself! -
In the beginning, men and women were created equal in God's image, and both were made to be co-leaders, to “rule” over God’s creation (Gen. 1:27-28). However, when sin came into the picture, everything changed. With the curse of the fall (Gen. 3:16), discrimination of all kinds seeped in.
When the Day of Pentecost came, the Holy Spirit broke every barrier that is destructive to the fulfilment of God’s kingdom on earth. He elevated the status of women, the elderly, and the poor, making us one in Christ! Not only did the Holy Spirit give us new life, but He also equalised the partnership between men and women, restoring us to God’s original plan.
As biblical Pentecostals, we believe that both men and women are equally redeemed by Jesus and equally gifted by the Holy Spirit to serve Him, both at home and in the church. We must live in mutual submission, mutual love, mutual authority, and mutual honour. -
This sermon is an exhortation for mothers, taking reference from Mary, the mother of Jesus.
Like many Moms, Mary must have faced all kinds of anxiety and inaccuracies. Yet, despite all the challenges, she had perfect faith, selfless in her love and devotion to Jesus. I'll share four qualities of motherhood that Mary possessed.
She was a caring mother, as seen in her risking the odds and fleeing to Egypt just to protect Jesus. She was a supportive mother, a quality evident in the wedding at Cana and all throughout Jesus’ earthly ministry. Mary was a nurturing mother, and this was the key to Jesus’ spiritual development. Finally, Mary was a loving mother, patient and long suffering. Watching Jesus suffer and die on the cross must have been the most painful experience, but she never left His side.
Let’s shower our Attention, Affection and Appreciation on our Moms and let them know they are loved! -
Bad things happen in life, but Christians must learn to walk through dark seasons and to persevere through pain. I'll share four lessons drawing from the life story of Joseph.
One, God is always with us in our dark times, nothing can separate you from His love. Two, God has a purpose for allowing dark times in our lives. Without suffering it is impossible to become more like Jesus. Three, dark times will last as long as necessary for God to accomplish His purpose to change you and make you a person of destiny. Finally, in the darkness, we must walk towards the light. Joseph continually kept his focus on God and on His promises, which kept him going through the dark times.
Be encouraged by this message that God never plays games with your life, but what the devil means for evil, God intends it for good. -
In this sermon, I'll explain why it is crucial for every believer to have faith, because without faith it is impossible to please God (Heb 11:6).
What does it mean to have faith? Faith means focus—to keep one’s focus on God’s love, His word and His promises; to not be distracted from God, despite what one sees or feels. There are three levels of faith: little faith (Matt 8:23) is when you struggle to believe, when you are distracted by what’s going on around you and cannot focus on God. Great faith is strong and unwavering faith in the face of circumstances, such as the faith of the centurion in Matt 8:5-10 and the Canaanite woman (Matt 15:22-28). The highest level of faith is perfect faith, which is trusting obedience regardless of outcome. Perfect faith is when we can obey God whether or not we are healed or blessed, just like Jesus.
Be encouraged by this message to grow in your faith in God! -
While the four stages of the Christian journey—awakening, purgation, illumination and union—lead us to the great joy of theosis, this is not easily achieved. This sermon teaches the ultimate experience for the rare Christian: having the full measure of Christlikeness will not be possible without the dark night of the senses and of the soul. The dark nights are periods of detachment caused or allowed by God to wean us away from the things of this world. During such times He may even withdraw His blessings and hide His face. God wants to bring us to the point where we need nothing and no-one but Him, the point where even if He withdraws Himself we can still continue to love and long for Him just as Jesus did.
Let this message encourage you to be unafraid of suffering and to be willing to let go of anything that stands in the way of Your love for God and His will. -
In this sermon, I'm continuing my sermon on the three things that happen in silence and solitude, the first two being meditation and contemplation. The third and most precious of these is union with God. Meditation is applying one’s mind to the word of God. Contemplation is loving God without words or agenda. Union is becoming one with God in love and likeness. This is God’s desire, that we come into a loving union with Him. In fact, it is the end goal of salvation: Jesus went to the cross so that we can experience divine union—theosis—with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It is only when we increasingly unite with the Godhead that we are more and perfected in love, and more like Jesus.
Let this message draw you into a time of silence and solitude, and into union with God. - Mostrar más
