‘And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.’ 1 Kings 17:1

‘Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.’ II Kings 2:11

We are introduced to Elijah when he made a bold proclamation before Ahab, the king and God honoured his declaration. Elijah’s ministry was characterized by his intimacy with and zeal for the things of God. The Lord used Elijah in working many miracles from withholding rain for years to calling down fire from heaven on more than one occasion. He was human and therefore also showed his vulnerability. However, in spite of his fears he never let go of God. To the extent that he’s one of the few people recorded in the Bible as not dying but being taken up into heaven.

In this series we are studying Elijah the prophet, his ministry and walk with God. I pray this study blesses you and increases your desire for intimacy with God and passion for the things of God.

‘Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”’ Genesis 3:9

We are used to asking God questions – “What does my future hold?” “Where should I go?” “What should I do?”… and so many more.

But God also asks us questions – not because He doesn’t know the answer, but because thinking about the question and our response forces us to face certain things about ourselves, our relationship with God and so much more. This series we are looking at the questions God asks and how our responses can dramatically alter our lives.

‘Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.”’ Exodus 3:13-14

What’s in a name? When you meet someone for the first time typically one of the first things to do is to ask the person his/her name. This helps you identify the person in future and forms the basis for having a meaningful relationship with the person.

In historical times a person’s name reflected the circumstances surrounding the person’s birth or family at the time he/she was born, or who the parents believed the person would become. So, a name was very important in the time of Moses.

When Moses asked the Lord his name in Exodus 3, Moses wanted to provide his fellow Israelites with an idea of the attributes of the deity that was sending him and God showed Moses first-hand that He could not be limited by anyone’s idea of who He is or should be. By introducing Himself as, “I Am who I Am”, the Lord demonstrates that He already is whoever we need Him to be and so much more…

In this study we will be exploring some of the names of God with the understanding that each name reveals a different attribute. We certainly cannot exhaust all His attributes on this side of eternity, so the goal is for us to identify how He has revealed Himself to us already and also gain some understanding of how much more there is to Him.

‘Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.’ 1 Corinthians 12:1

In this study we have gone through each of the gifts of the Spirit as listed in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10, identified them under the categories of revelation, power and vocal gifts and the impact they can have in our lives as believers.

These gifts have been given for the benefit of the body of Christ to equip us to walk effectively in our life’s journey. However, it’s critical to note that we should not lose sight of the importance of having a close walk with the Holy Spirit, the giver of the gifts. He is the one who shapes our hearts, molds our characters and helps us utilize these gifts as He has designed.

The Book of Ruth is the story of simple people who wanted a better life for themselves. But as often happens in life, things didn’t work out as planned. Decisions that looked good in the beginning can at times turn out to have negative effects we never bargained for.

Ruth’s story is an example to us that if indeed we truly put our trust in God, then we should never give up hope regardless of how bad things may appear. He is always at work on our behalf and with God, all things are possible…

Esther is one of the few books in the Old Testament that does not include a priest or prophet as one of the key characters, rather the focus is how God used an orphan girl and her uncle to deliver the Jews. Through this book we see how God divinely orchestrated events to move these unknown people to be both Queen and the second most important person in the kingdom.

Two major learning points for us are:

1. God can use anyone to fulfil His plans. Your background, social status, etc don’t hinder Him in any way.
2. God is a master strategist, He knows exactly what needs to be done at any point in time to fulfil His plans.

I pray this study blesses you as you go through the Book of Esther, and you are reminded that you serve the God of all possibilities.

“He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He.” Deuteronomy 32:4

“Good and upright is the LORD; Therefore, He teaches sinners in the way.” Psalms 25:8

“For the Lord is righteous, he loves justice; the upright will see his face.” Psalm 11:7 NIV

These are just a couple out of a number of verses in the Bible talking about God’s character. Uprightness is clearly one of the traits used to describe God and naturally as a Father, He expects His children to bear this trait as well. But what exactly is uprightness? How can we tell if we’re walking in it and what should we expect to gain from this?

I pray this study blesses you, teaches you why uprightness is key to God and causes you to prioritize being upright at all times in every aspect of your life.

Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him (Psalm 127:3). While we appreciate these precious gifts from God, we as parents/guardians/care givers also have a responsibility to nurture, raise and teach the children in our care that goes beyond the physical.

Children these days are facing many issues previous generations didn’t have to deal with, which makes it even more critical that we constantly lift our children/wards in prayer.

This series we will be looking at scriptures to pray and declare over them – their salvation, destinies, purpose, health, prosperity and so much more. Please stay connected and more importantly, participate and pray for these precious ones.

I pray this study blesses you and transforms your family as God moves in the life of your children as only He can.

Apostle Paul was a man of prayer, the author of almost half of the New Testament and a missionary, taking the Gospel of Christ to far reaching parts of the world during his lifetime.

What did he pray for and how did he pray in order to achieve these great feats? Especially as he was the only apostle who didn’t meet and walk with Jesus during His earthly ministry.

This series we will study his prayer life, focusing on key prayers identified in the Bible, also known as the ’Pauline Prayers’. These prayers have the power to transform your walk with God and your life, if you are dedicated to praying them regularly and in sincerity.
