Bearing FruitWhy am I still suffering?Welcome back to another episode of the Bearing Fruit podcast. In this week's episode we dive deeper into what it means to suffer as a Christian - more importantly why it is necessary to suffer. I think I can speak for everyone when I say that suffering can be extremely uncomfortable and painful. But in today's episode, we look at what the scripture says about suffering, why suffering is seen as a gift, and how we can steward our seasons of suffering well. There is no victory without a battle!

In this week's episode we talk about the dangers of placing our faith in fear and how easily fear can entangle our life when we are vulnerable to the enemy.

2024-09-2925 minBearing FruitWhat happens when God's command contradicts His promise?Happy Podcast Day and Welcome back to another episode of the Bearing Fruit podcast. Join me in this week's episode as we meditate on one of the most incredible stories in The Bible where we witness God's command to Abraham, contradicting the promise that He gave. What happens when what God has asked you to do doesn't directly correlate in receiving the promise He spoke to you? Do you have enough faith in the Lord to trust His intentions? Do you trust His character? Are you familiar with the heart of God? Is His promise enough to obey His...

Happy Monday and I hope you’re ready for this week’s episode because it’s quite a convicting one! In this week’s episode, I share what we as Christ followers are called to do, and that’s to love our neighbour - not just our Christian neighbour, but more specifically, the neighbour who we may strongly dislike. Jesus emulates love and when he was on this earth, he emulated pure humility and compassion to his enemies. This week, I share why it is important to wash the feet of our enemies and how that c...

I'm so excited for this week's episode as I have finally got our very first guest and my younger brother Robin on the show. Robin shares his non-linear journey with his faith and his battle with depression. He shares his first experience encountering depressive thoughts and moods, and how he went from hating God and embodying evil, to then later finding God's indescribable peace. Although this episode is a long one, I hope Robin's testimony will at least touch one person's heart. I hope you know that you are never too far into...
2023-11-261h 50Bearing FruitOvercoming my Most Recent Spiritual AttackWelcome back to another week of the Bearing Fruit podcast. In this week's episode, we get deep into the topic of Spiritual Warfare. More specifically, I share my most recent experience with battling spiritual warfare; especially what that can often look like for some people, and how I overcome the attack of the enemy. I hope this episode will help at least one person in recognising the war that occurs in the spiritual realm, and to bring light to the armour you need to protect yourself with when stepping foot on the battlefield.

2023-10-2933 minBearing FruitFaith > FeelingsHi everyone, and welcome back, or welcome to, the Bearing Fruit podcast. On this week's episode, we talk about how often as human beings, our feelings can play a role in our thoughts, words and deeds. But more specifically, how many of these thoughts, words and deeds, lead us straight to sin. Feelings are a beautiful gift from God. We are created as human beings who get to feel the same emotions Jesus himself once felt, and should never hinder, suppress, or reject this gift. However, sin can slowly make it's way when we act on feelings that cloud...

So naturally, I asked you guys on Insta stories a few days ago on what your red flags are when dating as a Christian, and boy did you have some good responses - we get deep into it! Thank you for being so passionate about the Lord and not being afraid to speak up. I think when you get into a relationship, it’s so easy to neglect your relationship with THE LOR...
2023-10-0136 minBearing FruitFlesh vs. SpiritWelcome back to another episode of the Bearing Fruit podcast.
In this week’s episode we talk about the war within - the flesh vs. the spirit. A lot of people assume that when you start to give your life to Christ, life becomes “easier”; everything settles, and it’s all sunshine and roses. So when they don’t expect the war that begins when they give their life to Christ, they begin to blame God. You guys, let me make this as clear as it can possibly be. When you give your life to Christ, the enemy works...

In this week’s episode, prepare to get uncomfortable. I love talking about topics that make our flesh uncomfortable, because it means that we are on the right path to keeping our spirit pure. This week, we are going to be talking about taming the tongue. I didn’t realise how many verses and mentions there are in the Bible about the power of the tongue. Our tongue has the power to either speak life o...

2023-08-1335 minBearing FruitMeeting Jesus in the MundaneHappy Monday and Welcome back to another episode of the Bearing Fruit podcast. In this week's episode, we are going to be talking about inviting Jesus into our mundane. We all have gaps in between our celebratory, busy, and exciting daily lives that are deemed as the mundane. And 9 times out of 10, we just power through the mundane - sometimes with deep misery or even discontentment, and completely forget to invite Jesus into those gaps. In this week’s episode I share how I have recently got into the habit of inviting Jesus into each mundane task of mine and my...
2023-07-3035 minBearing FruitThe works of The DevilHappy Monday and welcome back to the Bearing Fruit podcast. In this week's episode, we are going to be breaking down some of the works of the devil, and what that actually entails. As much as this is not a common topic of conversation within the church, I believe it is so important to distinguish the works of the evil one and what is actually from the Lord. As the world spins, darkness becomes greater than ever before, which is why I believe when we are able to gain an understanding of these works, we are able to use...
2023-07-1641 minBearing FruitFinding JOY in being singleWelcome back to another episode of the Bearing Fruit podcast. This week we are going to be talking about the joy of being single. Yes, that’s right, joy!! Society deems singleness to be this lonely, isolating, boring and unhappy season of life. When in actuality, it’s this beautiful, freeing, joyous and exciting season of life. A season you get to grow in your personal relationship with God, a season where you get to learn more about yourself and about what you want in a life partner, and a season that builds you into be an individual who’s not...

In this week's episode we talk about the importance of surrounding yourselves with good people - and not just good people, but kingdom-minded people. People who chase you towards the kingdom, people who pray over you, people who boost your faith, people who fast for you and encourage you with scripture, people who love the Lord with all their heart, people who are true representatives of Christ... As important as it is to be kind, loving and of service to everyone, just as Jesus was...
2023-06-1831 minBearing FruitAre you waiting on God or is God waiting on you?Welcome back to another episode of the Bearing Fruit podcast. In this week's episode, we talk about how as Christians, we tend to become so comfortable in waiting on God - not all of the time of course, but we can get too comfortable and say "oh it's a part of God's plan, just waiting on him...". All of that might be true, but what if you've become too comfortable on waiting on God to make his move, that you totally miss out on God waiting on you. Your relationship with God should be this beautiful friendship and partnership...
2023-06-0525 minBearing FruitWhere is Jesus in this storm?Welcome back to another episode of the Bearing Fruit podcast. In this week's episode we are going to be talking about the treacherous storms we go through in life, and how often times we feel as though Jesus is absent through these storms. I know for myself personally, I have questioned why God has allowed these hardships in my life, I have questioned whether anything good will even come out of this painful experience, and I have even at times, questioned if God is even real. The truth is, in hindsight, we understand why we go through certain trials...
2023-05-2139 minBearing FruitMy anxiety now bows down before Jesus!Welcome back to another episode of the Bearing Fruit podcast. In this week's episode, we are going to be discussing anxiety, specifically, the root of anxiety and who exactly runs with it, what anxiety if not treated biblically, can do, my own experience of anxiety, what the Bible says about anxiety, and how to best treat these anxious thoughts. I have always wanted to speak on this topic, but I knew the Lord had to work in me first before I share my own take on this. I feel so blessed to know that I am delivered from something...
2023-05-0737 minBearing FruitWhy hustle culture is actually toxicWelcome back to another episode of the Bearing Fruit podcast. In this week's episode, I share the cruel toxicity of hustle culture - a culture that has become so normalised and encouraged in today's society. The enemy is quick to shame you and guilt trip you if you don't have 15 things on your plate. If you're not doing enough, then you're not enough. These lies have controlled us for so long, that often times we do feel guilty if we take the day to rest and rejuvienate. But in this week's episode, I share the severe dangers of this...
2023-04-2326 minBearing FruitIs manifesting a sin?Hello and Welcome back to another week of the Bearing Fruit podcast. In this week's episode we are going to be talking about manifestation and whether or not manifesting is a sin? To back up the conclusive findings of this episode, I seek wisdom from the Bible, as well as look deep into what it actually means to manifest something into existence. I share some concepts as to why manifestation goes heavily against Christianity and why this new aged belief goes against everything that the Lord calls us to do as Christians. It was not until a few years ago...

In light of Easter season, in this week's episode, we are going to be talking about the incredible price that Jesus paid for us on that cross. I know we all know the story of Jesus' death, so I'm not going to recount it for you, however, I am going to be talking about the significance of this death. This price, that was an overpayment, is the only reason you and I have a chance to enter the gates of heaven. This price, that no gold or...

In this week’s episode, we are going to be talking about chronic complaining. Are you a chronic complainer? I’m not talking about the occasional complaining and grumbling, I’m talking about constant, daily complaining. In this episode I share the incredible dangers of complaining, including what it does to our spirit, our faith and our brain. As Christians we are called to represent Jesus in all that we do, and I don't think he compla...

2023-02-2733 minBearing FruitMonday Morning Faith!Happy Monday and Happy Podcast day! Welcome back to another week! In this week’s episode we are going to be talking about a Monday Morning Faith. What this essentially means is, we as believers are so notorious to be this Jesus loving Christian on a Sunday, but when it comes to a Wednesday, we are ready to let rage take over, pride take over, and we are ready to question God. On a Sunday, why are we so good to keep the faith?? Why don’t we allow this faith to carry on throughout our Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thur...
2023-02-1223 minBearing FruitLet my desire be one with yoursWelcome back to another episode of the Bearing Fruit podcast. In this week's episode we talk about the importance of aligning our desires with the Lord. It's easy to just read the Bible and think we know what the Lord wants for our life, but if you are not actively asking the Lord, or if you are not actively telling the Lord that you want your desire to align with his, that's when we can fall into the trap of the enemy. One of the enemy's biggest mind-games, is convincing us that this what the Lord wants for us...

Inclusive of that, we also discuss what it means to let go and let God. Specifically, the struggles of letting go, and why we don't want to let go, but how we want to let God do his thing in our lives. I share my very own experience of letting...
2023-01-1532 minBearing Fruit"Uh no offence but...."Welcome back to another episode of the Bearing Fruit podcast! Today's episode dives into how we as Christians should handle offensive comments. Because not everyone is going to like us in this world, not everyone will say something kind, and not everyone cares about our feelings...so how should we respond? How do we as Christians not strike back, but also not give the enemy the power to offend us. One thing I wish I told my younger self was that, hurt people hurt people, and most of the time, offensive comments that are made at you has more...
2022-10-3025 minBearing FruitIs it okay to ask God "Why?"Growing in our faith includes asking God the tough questions. Including the why's however, there is a fine line between asking the Lord questions, and insisting on answers. Most of the time, we are so eager to ask God "why is this happening" or "why did you remove these people out of my life" or "why did I have such a bad day" or "why is there so much injustice in this world"...I mean the list is never-ending. And it is okay to ask the Lord these questions, but, you have to be careful as to whether these...
2022-10-0924 minBearing FruitLiving confidentlyWelcome back to a new episode of the Bearing Fruit podcast! In this week's episode, we are going to be talking all about self-confidence and how you can live a confident life whilst remaining as humble as Jesus. The beauty of living a confident life as a Christian, is knowing that you don't need to look a certain way, or hold a certain qualification, or talk a certain way to be confident.... you are already perfectly made to fulfil your purpose. You are the child of God, meaning, you already have everything you need to live a confident life...
2022-09-2830 minBearing FruitDealing with a broken heartWelcome back to another episode of the Bearing Fruit podcast! This week, we are going to be talking about heartbreak and the excruciating pain that comes with that. You see, the sad part of heartbreak is that it is inevitable. We have or are going to experience it eventually, but how do you actually deal with it? I mean, is there a way to deal with a broken heart? Does time actually heal everything? I guess time gives you the space to recover but do you truly heal? Well, the most incredible aspect of heartbreak for us Christians is...
2022-09-1126 minBearing FruitWhat it means to live freeWelcome back to another episode. This week we are going to be talking about what it means to live free. I'm not just talking about temporary and worldly free living. I'm talking about experiencing true and pure freedom. I always thought that Christians never experienced freedom due to the amount of do's and don't's that are prefaced in the Bible. But boy was I wrong. Since following Christ, I finally understood what the term "freedom" meant. I experience this euphoric feeling everyday knowing that Jesus has already paid it all. He set me free. Join me in today's episode...
2022-08-2829 minBearing Fruit"Lord, I'm tired!"Welcome back to this week's episode! Today we are going to be talking about the emotional and physical exhaustion we feel when we have reached that point of weariness. Have you ever prayed for something that God is still yet to answer? Or asked God why this keeps happening to you? Or felt like you are just constantly tired of the world's demands? If so, who or what is your first point of contact when you do feel this way? What is that helps you to sooth your cries and exhaustion? You see, so often we let the Lord...
2022-08-1425 minBearing FruitOvercoming negative thought patterns!Negative thoughts… oh geez! This is definitely something that I can attest to, and something that I am well aware everyone struggles with. Negative thinking patterns are so difficult to combat and overcome because of how second nature it is. We were raised and continue to live in a sinful and destructive world, so it’s no surprise that are minds come up with these disparaging thoughts, which we later believe. In this week’s episode, I share some common negative thought patterns that we struggle with, and what we ourselves can do to overcome it. To understand our negati...

In today’s episode, I bounce of my last episode and share some daily habits, tips and tricks that I implement in my daily life for me to be able to maintain and strengthen my relationship with the Lord. It’s one thing to start a relationship with the Lord, but it’s another to really sustain and water that relationship in order for it to flourish and grow. It’s important with any other relationship in your life, to nurture your personal relationship with the Lord. You don’t need to...

Bearing FruitWhy I believe in Jesus - My origin storyFor so long I grew up with Christianity being the back bone of my life. However, I didn't actually begin my relationship with the Lord until I turned 21. I think it's very important for me as a podcaster, someone who every week shares experiences and talks about real life troubles, to also share why I believe what I believe. I don't want to come across as someone who is perfect or someone who has always followed the Lord. I want to have a raw and open conversation as to why I speak on the topics I speak on, and...
2022-06-2636 minBearing FruitPurpose in your painWelcome back to this week’s episode! This week, we are going to be talking about pain…. Yuck! I know! But what if I told you that there was actually purpose behind your pain?… Yep, that’s right! There is in fact a purpose behind those painful experiences you have been through and you continue to go through. In this episode, we look to what James says about trying times and how those painful experiences heightens your senses, and how you eventually have a greater awareness of gratitude and hope. There is so much that pain teaches you, and we are g...
2022-06-1225 minBearing FruitGetting back to graceHappy Bearing Fruit Day! In this week's episode, we talk about the beautiful and divine gift that is grace. I share the meaning of divine grace, what the Lord requires of you for you to be able to receive that grace, and how exactly you can receive that grace. Grace is a beautiful and unconditional love that has no limits, and one we are so undeserving of. Without grace, we wouldn't be where we are. Because of the Lord's mercy, we are given another chance. It's time for you and I to get back to grace my friends. Join...

Well, I used to live that life and boy was it a very sad one! I was the ultimate people-pleaser who would do anything to gain praise and approval from others at the expense of my own happiness, beliefs, values and morals. I would do anything people asked me to because if it made them happy, then I guess I was too? Well, that couldn't be further from the truth. I gave up the people-pleaser life a year ago and...

I'm sure every one of you at some point in your life, have felt this anxiety or have gone through this psychological thought process of unworthiness, or inadequacy despite our successful abilities. This crippling fear that feeds you lies of your incompetence, if you're not careful, can run your lives and dictate your future. Many of us due to Imposter Syndrome, fail to chase our dreams and follow our goals. In this week's episode, I share with you the Lord's antidote to...
2022-05-0823 minBearing FruitAre you blessing your enemies?When someone does us wrong, our immediate innate and human response is to play tit for tat by either holding a grudge or treating them back just as they treated us. How then, do we follow the goodness of God if we can’t even bless our enemies? Blessing our enemies doesn't necessarily mean that we are asking the Lord to bless them with a new car, or a new job... but instead blessing our enemies can involve the hand of the Lord on them opening their eyes to the wrong they did us. Blessing our enemies therefore, allows a...
2022-05-0126 minBearing FruitHe is not here!He is not here, he is risen! What exciting news for us Christians! Jesus' resurrection is proof that death is not the end for us. There is life beyond death and the resurrection of Jesus had to occur to fulfil this prophecy. In this week's episode, we discuss the importance of this incredible event that took place following the crucifixion of Christ. Jesus' death washed us of our sins, but his death would have meant nothing if he remained dead. His death played an integral role in the resurrection and it is because of his resurrection we can live...
2022-04-2421 minBearing FruitThe death of the man that saved the worldAs we enter the week of Good Friday and Easter, we remember the most beautiful, most greatest sacrificial love, the death of Jesus. In this week's episode, we reflect on this amazing and life-saving event that occurred, just so that you and I could be saved. We reflect on this victory that occurred when Jesus the Son of Man defeated death. Although this was a powerful and life-saving death, we can't forget the pain and the suffering that Jesus took upon that cross for our sake. He bore the pain of the whole entire world just so that we...
2022-04-1023 minBearing FruitResisting TemptationTemptation is one of the hardest struggles that mankind faces. Temptation when succumbed to, leads us to sin that corrupts our world, giving the enemy exactly what he wants. This week’s episode is our first Easter episode, and we discuss the story of Jesus who too was also tempted by the devil. We dissect what it means to be tempted and the nature of temptation. It’s so easy for the enemy to tempt us when we are at our weakest, which is why it is so important to have the Lord by your side during those weak mome...
2022-03-2731 minBearing FruitMeditating on the WordThe Bible can seem like an overwhelming book to start studying, and you may feel like there's certain rules and methods of how you should study the Bible. However, there is no such thing as studying the Bible in a correct way. Delving into the Lord's word and getting to communicate with him through the Bible, is a very personal and intimate form of communication, that is so moulded to your very own relationship with the Lord. In this week's episode, I share a few suggestions of how you could get started reading and studying the Word of God...
2022-03-2028 minBearing FruitProtect your peaceIn this week's episode we talk all about peace and the importance of protecting your peace. Especially living in the world we live in right now, it's so incredibly important to not let the worldly matters disrupt the peace that the Prince of Peace himself, gave you. The enemy's number one goal is to try and sabotage us, through the immersion and continuous stress we take on from the daily news and the daily garbage that we consume. In this episode, we talk about the importance of setting up personal boundaries, and actions that you are required to take...

But I think we have all faced some sort of rejection in our lifetime, and as painful and hurtful that rejection may feel in the moment, I’m here to tell you that what if that hurt and pain was a blessing in disguise? What if that rejection, was actually God protecting you and from something you can’t see? Join me in this week’s episode to discuss what an incredible and beau...

We talk about the anxiety that must've been induced for Mary and Joseph and we also talk about where Jesus was found. But more specifically we discuss the deep meaning of this story. Jesus even at the age of 12 had his priorities in check and knew exactly how to grow in knowledge and wisdom, and I think he sets a perfect example for his followers. Join me as we dive into our last Christmas episode as well as...

Bearing FruitMan in the image of GodIn this week's episode, we talk about the birth of Jesus, specifically the conception made through the Holy Spirit. We discuss the importance of why God needed to send his son as human. It's important to understand more than just the meaning of Jesus' birth, but that he was both divine and human. He was both man and God. We also discuss this very same event foreshadowed 700 years prior to the birth through the prophet Isaiah. Join me as we reflect on this beautiful event that forever changed the world.

Bearing FruitThe woman who birthed the man that changed the worldIn today's episode, we discuss Mother Mary's endeavours right before the birth of baby Jesus. We look at what her life was like before this and the judgements she would've had to endure as a young soon-to-be wife. We look at her godly characteristics and personality to be chosen to take on such a blessing, her bravery to own this role, her obedience to the Lord to carry this precious baby, and her perseverance and resilience through the society's judgements. Mary is a perfect example and role model of obeying the Lord and doing what is expected of her...

Bearing FruitA King like no otherAs we are nearing the month of December, specifically Christmas, I wanted to launch the next couple of Christmas episodes beginning with the whole reason for this season...Jesus Christ, a King like no other. I'm a huge Christmas fanatic and I think it's important to recognise why we celebrate this season. In this week's episode we are going to be talking a little about our King. This King however, was not one who wore royal garments and associated with higher class people. He was and is a King like no other, and a complete opposite to what today's s...
2021-11-2822 minBearing FruitCreated with a purposeAre you living like Jesus would? Do your values align with those of what God wants for you? Or are you just stuck... not knowing what is expected of you?Well can I tell you that t is no accident that God placed you on this earth. He knew about you when he commanded there to be light! You were created with a purpose. To know and love him, and to be loved by him. We were created in Christ Jesus to do good works and to be Christ like. We are put on this earth to make a...
2021-11-2125 minBearing FruitIt's time for you to cross the Red SeaJust like Moses having to face his ultimate obstacle, the Red Sea, I know there must be some obstacles standing in your way right now that you just want removed so that you can get to the other side. But God didn't remove Moses' Red Sea. He instead made a way when there seemed to be no way. But you can't cross that Red Sea if you are not willing to get up and stop complaining. God is all ready for you to cross, he's already created a path for you to go down where you can get to...
2021-11-1422 minBearing FruitYou have the power to silence the enemyDo you know that the same power that rose Jesus from the dead lives within you? Yes, you! For God did not give you a spirit of fear but a spirit of fear, but of power and love, and of a sound mind. So with that same power that has been given to you, use it to silence the enemy. The one that prowls like a roaring lion, ready to steal, kill and destroy. The enemy loves to see us miserable and loves to extinguish our faith, but use that power that God gave you to silence him. Silence...
2021-11-0728 minBearing FruitGet some rest!In today's episode we discuss the importance of letting go and letting God! I think many times our default reaction to any stressful or worrying issues in our lives, is to try and take control of the situation which ultimately heightens our anxiety even more. But I want to remind you that taking point in any areas of your life is not our role nor is it our responsibility. You see, there's a God who unlike us, IS actually in control of everything that occurs in our lives. All we need to do is completely trust him. Trust him t...
2021-10-3124 minBearing FruitWear the armour of GodAs a Christian, it's so important to wear an armour of protection each day. The enemy goes around roaring like a lion ready to prowl when you least expect it. So in order for you to be ready and armed to attack back or defend yourself, you need to wear the greatest protection out there - The Armour of God. In this week's episode we talk about this mighty armour and the power each piece of protection holds. Don't give the enemy an easy battle to win. Fight back! Wear this armour everyday before you go about your day...
2021-10-2422 minBearing FruitDon't be a lukewarm Christian!If there's one thing that God insists we do not become, it is to live like a lukewarm Christian. The Lord says it is better to be either hot or cold, rather than lukewarm. To live a lukewarm faith simply means that you have neither rejected Jesus, but you aren't living for him either. In today's episode we discuss what it means to live a lukewarm Christian lifestyle, the dangers of being lukewarm, and some steps to help guide you to leave that lukewarm Christian faith. I too, used to live like a lukewarm Christian, but can I tell...
2021-10-1729 minBearing FruitAre you a fruit-bearer?To commemorate the 10th episode release of the Bearing Fruit podcast, it’s only fitting to discuss the meaning behind bearing fruit. In this week’s episode we discuss how important it is to remain in Christ and Christ in us for us to bear fruit. If you are not sustaining that relationship with God, your fruit becomes rotten and inedible. He is the vine, and we are the branches. No branch can bear fruit on its own or neither will they be able to do anything without the vine. Jesus sets the precedent through the Fruits of the Spir...
2021-10-0325 minBearing Fruit"Vengeance is mine!" says the LordI’m sure we have all struggled with injustice in this world. I know I sure have. But what is your response to this injustice? You see, as Christians we are instructed not to repay evil for evil. The Lord says, “vengeance is mine!” and he will repay. Our role is never to take revenge on anyone, in fact Jesus says we need to forgive those who do us wrong and pray for those who persecute you. The Lord’s justice is far greater than our justice. The Lord has already claimed vengeance on those who wrong his children. So, take...
2021-09-2624 minBearing FruitWhat are you idolizing?The second commandment out of the ten commandments quite literally states “you shall have no other gods before me”. Now I’m not talking about a golden statue of a calf here, I’m talking about anything that you value more than the Lord. Anything that is in between you and him. The good things in this world are meant to be enjoyed with a thankful heart. But when that gift replaces the gift giver, we fall into idolatry. It is so important to evaluate yourselves every day to understand what is it that brings us the most happiness and joy...
2021-09-1920 minBearing FruitComparison Kills!Have you ever struggled with the constant battle of comparison? Whether that be with another’s career, family life, relationship, home, lifestyle etc. I know for a fact that comparison is something I constantly wrestle with. I know it’s wrong and it does nothing but dampen my mood, so then why do I do it? Why is it something so instinctive for us humans? Comparing myself to others does nothing but kill my soul and rob me off my joy. I think that in itself should give you an idea of who adds fuel to the fire. Are you...
2021-09-1232 minBearing FruitMustard seed kinda faithYou don't need an extravagant or an enormous amount of faith for you to believe that anything is possible. Jesus says, all you need is faith as small as a mustard seed and you can tell a mountain to move and it will move. See, it is so easy to get caught up in the requirements of how much faith one should have. But the Bible literally tells us otherwise. Jesus encourages us to have child-like faith. Faith that consists you to believe that anything is possible. Faith that is as small as a mustard seed, a seed that...
2021-09-0524 minBearing FruitCondemnation vs. ConvictionWe all make mistakes, it’s inevitable for us humans. We are all sinners. But when making those mistakes, do you feel guilt, shame and regret? Or do you feel corrected? Do you feel punished or disciplined? See these two feelings come from two very different sources. Let me introduce you to Condemnation and Conviction. In today’s episode we dive into where these two sources stem from. Because if you ever feel condemned rather than convicted, it comes from the evil, the only source that says that you will never be enough. But conviction comes from the Holy Spir...
2021-08-2924 minBearing FruitWhat are you filling your cup with?What do you fill your cup with every day? Is it the worldly pleasures? Temporary happiness? Friends, family, partners, food, money etc. the list goes on… We all turn to the wrong things in life to fill our cups with, which is why our cups run out and end up empty. But can I tell you that nothing fills your cup up like the way Jesus does. His love, grace, mercy, comfort makes your cup overflow. Today we take a passage out of the Bible of Jesus and the Samaritan woman and read about what God says about the li...
2021-08-2222 minBearing FruitNo more pity parties!How many times have we dug ourselves THE pit? The pit of despair and misery. A toxic spiral that doesn’t end. Self-pity, being one of the deadly sins, can ruin our hearts and minds if we don’t reach out our hand, for Jesus to hold onto. Otherwise, the only other person in this pity party is you and the devil. Let’s get out of that pit! No more! But the only way we can do that is with the help of our Saviour. Let’s start with our attitude. Less of the toddler tantrums, and more of a gra...
2021-08-1521 minBearing FruitStuck in the waiting roomHas there been a time in your life where things didn’t go quite as plan? What you desired didn’t meet your timeline? Are you in a standstill just waiting for a breakthrough, or waiting for things to actually turn out the way you anticipate? I want things to happen according to MY timeline! I am done waiting! Nothing is happening. Well can I tell you friends that OUR timeline isn’t always the perfect one. Because only God knows what’s perfect for us. He knows what we need. He knows what our heart desires. Get excited because...
2021-08-0820 minBearing FruitA Mary Heart in a Martha WorldAre you caught up in life’s timeless schedule? Flesh worrying about daily agendas, but your heart wanting to sit with the Lord. Well, let me tell you about two of the many extraordinary women in the Bible. Mary and Martha. Mary pushing aside the busy callings of the world and sitting at the Lord’s feet. Whereas Martha, still with the intention to serve the Lord, gets caught up with the daily duties of the world. I think you and I can resonate more with Martha. How do we grow and strengthen our devotion for the Lord when ther...
