AW Tozer wrote: ‘We need today a fresh spirit of anticipation that springs out of the promises of God.’ Faith and expectation work together. Hebrews 11:1 Faith assures us of things we expect and convinces us of the existence of things we cannot see. (God’s Word Translation) When you live with expectancy your faith has the…
AW Tozer wrote that ‘We must declare war on the mood of non-expectation, and come together with childlike faith.’ When we no longer have expectation, we stop growing. We can never afford to stop growing! I was recently reading a book on personal growth. In this book the author looked at four signs that we…
There are two aspects to expectation: 1. It is future orientated. You can’t be expectant for the past. It has this future orientated dimension. So it does not matter where you come from or what you have been through. In a sense we are all back to the beginning when it comes to the future…
My father was a Pastor of a wonderful church. The church grew from 90 members to 6500 members under his ministry.

We should be…
Matthew 28:18-20 “Then 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…
When God created Adam and Eve and placed them in the Garden of Eden to “fill the earth,” His very first instruction to them was, “Be fruitful and multiply” [Genesis 1:28]. This was an instruction to reproduce – to bear children. God’s ultimate plan was to “fill the earth”. Ever since that first instruction the…
There is a time for everyone when they do not know Christ as their personal Saviour yet. Some may be far from receiving and others may be close. For some the door of their hearts may be firmly closed and for others it is wide open. Let’s assume that five to twelve is that moment…
