New Book Release: God’s Two Governments (50% Off Pre-order)

Why does the Bible seem to have two different sets of instructions for the Earth and the Heavens? I’ve spent years exploring this, and I’ve finally put the roadmap into a new book...

New Book Release: God’s Two Governments (50% Off Pre-order)

Dear Friends and Fellow Students of the Word,

I am thrilled to share that after much study and preparation, my new book, God’s Two Governments, is officially available for pre-order on Amazon Kindle!

In the pages of this book, I introduce a character called "The Traveller"—a representation of every believer who is searching for clarity in the Scriptures. This is not a travel log, but a narrative journey designed for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by the complexities of the Bible. By exploring 24 Landmark Verses, we walk alongside The Traveller to discover the beautiful, divine order of God’s plan for both the Heavens and the Earth.

A Special "Thank You" for Early Supporters

To celebrate this launch, I want to offer a special "Early Bird" opportunity to my community. Starting today and for the next three weeks of the pre-order period:

• 50% Discount: You can secure your copy for just $2.99 (approx. R55).
• Release Day Delivery: Once the book officially launches, it will be delivered automatically to your Kindle or phone app so you can start the journey immediately.

How You Can Help This Mission

Writing the book was only the first half of the journey. To help this message reach more people searching for truth, I need your help with two simple actions:

1. Secure your copy today: Purchasing during the pre-order period tells Amazon’s "algorithm" that this is a book people care about, which helps it show up in more search results for other students of the Word.

2. Leave an Honest Review: Once you’ve had a chance to read it, please head back to the Amazon page and leave your honest feedback. Reviews are the "fuel" that keeps a book visible. Even a few short sentences about what you learned can make a massive difference in helping others find this roadmap to the Truth.

A quick update (and some BIG news!)

Hi everyone,

I hope you’ve had a wonderful festive season and a relaxing start to 2026. I’ve really enjoyed my time with friends and family over the last few weeks, and the “me time” was exactly what I needed. I hope yours was just as good.

My leave is coming to an end early next week, so I wanted to let you know that my blogs and YouTube channel will be back to their “normal” service starting then. Thank you so much for your patience and encouragement over the holiday break. I truly pray that our fellowship continues this year and that you keep finding value and edification in my content.

I also have some BIG news to share!

I used this holiday season to finally finish a book that has been a long time in the making. It is officially ready, and I’ll be publishing it soon as an eBook on Amazon.

The title of the book is:

Teaching the Word of God is my passion, and this book is a major part of that ministry. I’ll be sending out another email soon regarding a pre-order period where you can preview my book and choose to buy it at a very special promotional price during that 3‑week period.

Stepping Into 2026 With Strength and Grace

Stepping Into 2026 With Strength and Grace

I’m still enjoying the holiday season, but soon I’ll be back into the rhythm of posting regularly again. As we step into 2026, I want to wish each of you a blessed and prosperous year ahead. May these last days of rest refresh your spirit and may we all look forward to a productive time of growth, service, and joy.

Spiritually, it’s good to remember that our strength for the year ahead doesn’t come from ourselves, but from Christ. Paul reminds us: “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Phil.4:13). In the rightly divided context, this verse isn’t about chasing worldly success, but about enduring, serving, and rejoicing in Christ no matter what lies before us.

So, let’s carry that assurance into 2026—resting in His grace, walking in His strength, and setting our hearts on things above.

A Christmas and New Year Greeting in Grace

A Christmas and New Year Greeting in Grace

Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

As we celebrate this Christmas and step into a new year, my heart rejoices in the riches of His grace wherein we stand, being justified freely through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Rom.3:24).

Beloved friends, let us remember that we are complete in Him (Col.2:10)—not by works of our own, but by the finished work of the cross. This truth anchors us as we walk worthy of the vocation wherewith we are called, holding fast the faithful word, and abounding in thanksgiving.

May the love of Christ constrain us, the hope of glory sustain us, and the fellowship of the mystery strengthen us in every good word and work. The Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil (2Thess.3:3).

As we look ahead, let us rest in the assurance that He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. To Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end.

Amen.

✨ Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year to all my dear friends! May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be your strength and joy in the days to come.

A New Heart versus a New Man

A New Heart versus a New Man

Ezekiel 36:25-27 declares: “Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.”

This passage belongs to Israel’s prophetic program. It is not addressed to the Body of Christ, but to the nation of Israel under the covenants and promises given to them. To understand it rightly divided, we must place it in its proper context.

Israel’s Prophetic Doctrine 

The promise of sprinkling clean water is covenantal language tied to Israel’s purification. Under the Mosaic law, ceremonial washings were required for uncleanness (Num.19:17-19). Ezekiel’s prophecy points forward to a national cleansing when God will purify Israel from idolatry and prepare them to enter the kingdom.

This promise is directly echoed in the preaching of John the Baptist and Peter. John preached “the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins” (Mark 1:4), and Peter declared at Pentecost: “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost” (Acts 2:38). In Israel’s program, water baptism was not symbolic but required for forgiveness, in line with Ezekiel’s prophecy of cleansing. It was the outward act of repentance and purification, preparing the nation to enter the promised kingdom.

Reconciliation, Forgiveness, and Justification: Guarding the Line of Truth

Reconciliation, Forgiveness, and Justification: Guarding the Line of Truth

One of the greatest dangers in our day is the subtle fabrication of truth. A teaching may sound sincere, even biblical, yet it stretches beyond Paul’s doctrine and blurs the line between reconciliation, forgiveness, and justification. Our task is to keep our nose in the Book, rightly dividing the Word of truth, so that we can discern between what God has said and what man imagines.

Recently, in an online discussion, several of these skewed views were aired and openly debated. They reveal how easily believers can be swayed into fabricating truth — either through sincere ignorance of their Bible or through blatant negligence toward the truth. In either case, the result is the same: misinterpretation of Scripture or outright rejection of doctrine in favour of something else. Let’s look at these views and compare them to Paul’s grace doctrine, and then debunk them simply by applying Scripture in its correct context.

Fabrication 1: “You don’t need forgiveness.”

They claim that since God is not imputing sin today, forgiveness is unnecessary. They reason that if sin is not charged, then forgiveness is redundant. This view arises from a shallow reading of 2Cor.5:19 and a failure to compare Scripture with Scripture.
