My Heart Leaped Up

When He Spoke

 

Her Beloved knocked and her heart yearned for Him.…she hesitated, and too late, she opened the door, but He had gone.          

 

The timeless story of the Shulamite woman and her Prince emulates our own ‘fairytale’ with the Sweet Lover of Mankind. The ending however, is up to you. Too gentle to encroach upon our freedom, He beckons us to go deeper with Him, but never oversteps our ‘liberty’.

The Shulamite woman troubled herself with irrelevant worries; ‘I have taken off my robe; How can I put it on again? I have washed my feet; How can I defile them?’, till she’d missed the opportunity to open the door to Him. Today, much the same still occurs; ‘My day is all planned out; How can I risk answering God’s call? I have a good reputation; How can I admit my sin?’.

The Visible Hands of the Invisible God

HTB, with St Paul’s Church, is a lively Christian community based in London, England. The Alpha course, which has been key in spreading the Gospel internationally, originated from this group of people with a passion for Jesus.

 

Kay Warren, wife of the author of ‘Purpose Driven Life & Church’, was guest speaker at the six services held throughout the day, where over 3000 people attended to worship God. With great fervor, stemming from a heart stirred by the finger of God, Kay spoke of total surrender.

Turn the World

Upside Down

‘Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them.’ Luke 7:22 This is how Jesus answered the doubts of John the Baptist, when he was wondering if Jesus really was the One. And with that answer, it was confirmed, the Son of God was here!

Peace at last in Kenya

'The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy'

 
Psalm 126:3

The last Sunday before the Fast, has proven to be a sign of greater things to come through the grace of our Lord. Reconciliation and healing abounded in our Kenyan Coptic churches. The glorious sight of people hugging one another, and seeking the forgiveness of our Merciful Savior, has heralded the miracles expected during the Great Lent of 2008.

Through the soft, yet powerful whisper of the Holy Spirit, people realized their place within the family of God, as children of the Almighty. As such, God highlighted to each one’s heart that there is no distinction of color, gender, race or tribe.

Calabar, Nigeria

A Land Flowing with Milk and Honey

Calabar, a village in southern Nigeria, is called by the local natives 'Canaan'.  Canaan is the land promised to Abraham's descendants – a land flowing with milk and honey.  The land in Calabar is lush and green, as if one was in a tropical paradise.  The palm trees, mountains, rivers, and quiet breeze bring peace and tranquility to this land.  The people living in Calabar are very friendly.  They welcome you in their homes, in the marketplace and on the streets.

Mary Slessor, a courageous missionary, lived and died in this place of Calabar, never understanding why she was so attached to the people of Calabar.

The Way to the Bridegroom

Most girls dream of finding their perfect Bridegroom. Dream of what he’ll look like…how romantic he’ll be…the list goes on! The Bible speaks of our heavenly Bridegroom. For a while, I thought I had found Him but little did I know.  After beginning to discover His real sweetness I can now say that everything else before was but second hand; cold and stale food.

Jesus does not just want me to befriend Him merely as an acquaintance. He wants me to live with Him, to become His bride.  ‘I will betroth you to Me forever; yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and justice, in lovingkindness and mercy; I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness, and you shall know the Lord.’ (Hos. 2:19-20).
