“The LORD came and stood there, calling as at the other times, ‘Samuel! Samuel!’ Then Samuel said, ‘Speak, for your servant is listening” (1 Samuel 3:10) Welcome back dear student, we thank God for the sunshine. The Word of God says that all of creation sings God’s praises (Psalm 19; Psalm 148). The prophet Samuel started to hear from God at a very young age. God speaks to all of us – in our hearts by an unction of His Spirit; through the Scriptures; perhaps by a dream or a s

“Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. All Glory to Him, both now and forever!” (2 Peter 3:18). Welcome back dear student, Peter warns that before the Lord Jesus Christ returns, there will be scoffers, controlled by their own sinful desires, who will mock believers in Jesus. He alerts us to get priorities in order, for everything will be tested by fire, just as in the past the earth was judged by water. Some spend all their ene

“Moses built an altar there and named it Yahweh-Nissi - which means the LORD is my banner” (Exodus 17:15). Welcome back dear student, in times of adversity we need God’s wisdom and peace to make good decisions and not fall down under pressure. The LORD sees you in every tough situation dear friend: whether that struggle is with addiction, or family warfare, suffering severe lack, or mental distress - the list of difficulties that people endure is endless because we live in a

“Have this same attitude in yourselves which was in Christ Jesus: looking to Him as your example in selfless humility” (Philippians 2:5 Amplified Bible) Welcome back dear student, when a baby is born people try to figure out ‘who does he or she look like?’ Some folks are literally the image of a parent, or they might talk or walk just like them. It can be more than just genes; from spending time with someone we can grow to be like them too – both good and bad! “When God creat

"But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. So, all of us who have had that veil removed, can see and reflect the Glory of the Lord. And the Lord – Who is the Spirit – makes us more and more like Him, as we are changed and transformed into His Glorious image” (2 Corinthians 3:16-18 NLT). Welcome back dear student, we hear stories about people who have transformed their b

“All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by His great Mercy that we have been born again into a Living Hope because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, and we have a priceless inheritance - an inheritance that is kept in Heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of decay” (1 Peter 1:3-4 NLT). Welcome back dear student, wishing you a very Joyous Resurrection Sunday! It is the highlight of our faith, for wi

“And whatsoever you do, do it heartily – put in your very best effort – as something done for the Lord, and not for men” (Colossians 3:23). Welcome back dear student, attitude is everything. It’s what makes or breaks life. Often, we encounter people with amazing, positive attitudes even through great difficulties, and they inspire us! Life passes by in a flurry of ordinary moments. Only in seeing the courage of others enduring adversity do we realise how good we really have i

“Therefore, let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe” (Hebrews 12:28). Welcome back dear student, warmest wishes for a happy, healthy, and peaceful New Year! There’s certainly lots happening in the world - good and bad. All around us Biblical prophecy is being fulfilled - we shouldn’t be surprised. Spiritual battles are raging between dark and light, between good and evil. People

“Mary will give birth to a Son, and you shall name Him Jesus (The Lord is Salvation) for He will save His people from their sins. All this happened in order to fulfil what the Lord had spoken through the prophet Isaiah – behold the virgin shall be with child and give birth to a Son, and they shall call His Name Immanuel, which means, God with us.” (Matthew 1:21-23 Amplified Bible). Welcome back dear student, firstly I wish you a Peaceful and Happy Christmas, full of God’s Joy

“The Lord passed in front of Moses calling out…Yahweh! The Lord God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing Love and Faithfulness. I lavish unfailing Love to a thousand generations. I forgive iniquity, rebellion, and sin. But I do not excuse the guilty, laying the sins of the parents upon their children and grandchildren; the entire family is affected – even to the third and fourth generations” (Exodus 34:6-7). Welcome back dear student, as we ap
