The Secret to Growing in God’s Power (with Vinesong) | Legacy Episode

So many people say that they want the power of God - power to see their prayer's answered, power to see healing miracles, power to be delivered from all that is wrong in their lives - I want to show you that the power is in the Gospel, and once you have received that power, it should be increasing. With each new day, and each new miracle, the power of God should increase in your life.

Called and Chosen by Jesus (Part 2) | Two Minute Daily Devotional

I was 15, already preaching the Gospel, evangelising in the school. I can remember being on holiday, my brother and I were staying with some Christians, and on the Saturday night we were on the beach. I knew that God was talking to me. I could not get any peace until I left the others: I could feel a battle in my heart – the devil was saying, ‘Don’t listen to God, you are doing enough. You are a Christian, preaching the Gospel; that is enough.’ And God said, ‘No, it isn’t!’ He said to me, I want you! I could get no peace until I turned to the Lord and surrendered everything to Him. 

Called and Chosen by Jesus (Part 1) | Two Minute Daily Devotional

Jesus said, You did not choose Me, I chose you! Do you understand the significance of this statement? I am an evangelist, but this wasn’t my choice, I knew from the beginning, God had chosen me. He had called me for a purpose. 

Unity in the Cross | Lessons from 1 Corinthians 1 (Part 2)

Now you have every grace and blessing; every spiritual gift and power for doing his will are yours during this time of waiting for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. And he guarantees right up to the end that you will be counted free from all sin and guilt on that day when he returns. God will surely do this for you, for he always does just what he says, and he is the one who invited you into this wonderful friendship with his Son, even Christ our Lord.
But, dear brothers, I beg you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to stop arguing among yourselves. Let there be real harmony so that there won’t be splits in the church. I plead with you to be of one mind, united in thought and purpose. (1 Corinthians 1.7-11, TLB)

God is in control | Two Minute Daily Devotional

Why are you afraid? God is in control! When Jesus is in the boat with you, even if He is asleep, it doesn't matter the severity of the storm, one word from Jesus and all will be well. All will be well with your family, health, finances, employment. Jesus will speak peace into every tumultuous situation. I believe the challenge to every one of us today is, why are you afraid? What are you afraid of?

Faith in Action | Batumi, Georgia, Ministry Report, April 2026

Your sacrificial giving in this time of soaring costs and financial hardship, has enabled a powerful event to take place in Batumi on the Black Sea coast of Georgia in the Caucasus, where we are working together with a missionary church of Moslem converts, Adjarians who themselves all came to Christ through powerful miracles of healing or deliverance from drugs and alcohol.

Unity in the Cross | Lessons from 1 Corinthians 1 (Part 1)

Paul opens by greeting the church in Corinth and reminding them that they are called by God to belong to Jesus Christ, enriched with spiritual gifts as they wait for His return. He thanks God for His grace toward them and assures them that God is faithful and will keep them strong.
Paul then addresses a serious problem: divisions in the church. Believers are lining up behind different leaders and arguing over who they follow. Paul urges them to be united, reminding them that Christ is not divided and that it was Christ – not any human leader – who died for them.
He explains that God did not send him primarily to impress people with clever speech, but to share the message of the cross. That message may seem foolish to those who rely on human wisdom, but to those who are being saved it is the very power of God.
Paul emphasises that God deliberately overturns human pride. He often chooses what the world considers weak, foolish, or insignificant to show His power and wisdom. Because of this, no one can boast before God. Everything believers have – wisdom, righteousness, holiness, and redemption – comes from Christ alone, so all boasting should be in the Lord.

The Holy Spirit brings conviction and deliverance | Two Minute Daily Devotional

My father said that it is not just preaching which brings people to repentance. He said you’ve not yet received the Holy Spirit; he told me, the Bible says Jesus taught His disciples the first lesson in evangelism when He said, “When the Holy Spirit is come, He (not you, David), He, will convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgement.” My father said, you need the Holy Spirit.
I want to emphasise; it is the Holy Spirit who convicts the world. I believe God is once again going to pour our His Spirit, just as He has done in previous revivals. This is why the Apostle Paul taught in Romans 1.16 that all the Power of God is in the Gospel. It doesn’t matter which country you live in, God is in control, He has Power and He has authority. 

You need the Holy Spirit | Two Minute Daily Devotional

Aged 13, I became anxious to evangelise in my church. Of course I was not allowed. Eventually after much persuasion, it was decided that, as they did not use the church on Fridays, I could have it then. Together with the other young people we advertised, arranged a worship group, and I was the preacher.
It all went according to plan, except for one thing. That night I went home really distressed and asked my father what was wrong? I was in tears as I explained, I had preached from the Bible just like he did, and I expected someone would repent, wasn’t that the purpose of preaching? My father sat patiently with me; after all he wasn’t just a pastor, he was Superintendent in charge of all the pastors. Slowly he calmed me down and that night, aged 13, I learned the biggest lesson of my life which would change everything and show me the secret of evangelism.
In simple terms, my father said that it is not just preaching which brings people to repentance. He said you’ve not yet received the Holy Spirit; he told me, the Bible says Jesus taught His disciples the first lesson in evangelism when He said, “When the Holy Spirit is come, He (not you, David), He, will convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgement.” My father said, you need the Holy Spirit!

Prayer for healing (with Vinesong) | Legacy Episode

If you are believing for a healing miracle, Jesus said in Mark 16:17-18, 'And these signs will follow those who believe, they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.' Jesus doesn't lie. The Bible doesn't lie. If you believe, put your hand on your sickness and pray for your healing in Jesus Name. First, I will pray for you, then I will lead you in prayer.

We have a big God! | Two Minute Daily Devotional

When God wanted to bring His people out of Egypt, Pharaoh said, ‘No!’ God used Moses until Pharaoh said, ‘Yes!’ God uses men. But only men and women willing to yield to His authority. I am not a big man with a little God – I am a little man with a big God! I may be a little David with a Goliath of a problem, but with my God I can kill him!
Take the land! Possess the promises of God. So many believers are without power because they don’t understand the promises and power of God to those who believe. Don’t just take ‘spiritual’ blessings – take the land, possess what you need in the material realm as well. When Israel went in, it meant war, a spiritual fight, but it also meant that they could have the milk and the honey, all their material needs supplied.
The greatest command is to evangelise! God pours out His Spirit for a reason – so that we can evangelise. Every revival has died out when they stopped evangelising. Possess the land! Preach the Gospel, heal the sick!

There is no limit to what God can do | Two Minute Daily Devotional

Spiritual warfare is not merely against the devil, it is also when you fight your own unbelief. My God answers prayer. If you are totally convinced, God CANNOT fail. But it takes a lot of faith to believe God to work miracles. 
Fight against the devil by taking authority over him in Jesus’ Name. Command him to get out and the problem to go! Exercise the gift of faith, NOW, in a new way – this is not just receiving an answer to prayer – it means taking authority. Nobody has ever used the full amount of power that God has! There is no limit to what God can do! Elijah, Moses, David, only used a small part of God’s available power. No man has ever used all of God’s power, not John Wesley nor Smith Wigglesworth, no-one. God wants to show His power on earth, but He can only do it through you! Why not use more of His power than any man before you? When God wanted to bring His people out of Egypt, Pharaoh said, ‘No!’ God used Moses until Pharaoh said, ‘Yes!’ God uses men. But only men and women willing to yield to His authority. 

What happens when we die? | 1 Corinthians 15 (Part 3)

Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised, and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is in vain and your faith is in vain... 
If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile, and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have died in Christ have perished. If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died...
What I am saying, brothers and sisters, is this: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Look, I will tell you a mystery! We will not all die, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable body must put on imperishability, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When this perishable body puts on imperishability and this mortal body puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will be fulfilled:
“Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15, NRSV.)

Act with faith | Two Minute Daily Devotional

You have to make a conscious decision, either to continue to live ‘normally’ or to live in a faith-experience of letting God’s Word govern your decisions.
It is a command of God that we must possess and receive all that God has for us.It is not an option – obey!
It takes faith to possess all that God has given and act on it. Real faith does not come easily, but it is a specific gift from God through the Holy Spirit and you can ask for it, as I do. First you must come into an experience of receiving the Holy Spirit, then you can receive His gifts. In 1 Corinthians 12 there are nine gifts. One is speaking with other tongues, but when you receive this, why not also ask for the gift of faith? If you will fight this spiritual battle, God will give a miracle – but choosing to have miracles is the hard way! Not many people have the faith to fight this battle and win. Spiritual warfare is not merely against the devil, it is also when you fight your own unbelief. My God answers prayer. If you are totally convinced, God CANNOT fail. But it takes a lot of faith to believe God to work miracles. 

What happens when we die? | 1 Corinthians 15 (Part 2)

What happens when we die? As Christians we believe in the resurrection of Christ. We know from reading the Gospel that there were many witnesses to the resurrection. And because Christ was raised, we can know with certainty that we too will be raised from the dead. 
Paul argues that if there is no resurrection, then Christ has not been raised, and if Christ has not been raised, faith is futile, sin remains unforgiven, the apostles are false witnesses, and Christians are to be pitied above all people. The resurrection, therefore, is not optional – it is foundational.
Paul proclaims that Christ has been raised as the “firstfruits”, guaranteeing the future resurrection of all who belong to Him. Just as death came through Adam, resurrection life comes through Christ. At the end, Christ will defeat every enemy, including death itself, and deliver the kingdom to the Father.
Paul addresses questions about the nature of the resurrection body, explaining that it will be transformed – imperishable, glorious, powerful, and spiritual – yet still bodily. Believers will be changed at Christ’s return, when mortality puts on immortality.

Put your faith in God | Two Minute Daily Devotional

It is easy for us as believers to read and hear about these things that happened in the Bible without personally identifying with them. But if God did these things in the past, why not believe for them today? Some Christians would dismiss miracles like speaking in tongues and healing by saying either that these were in the past, or that they were ‘dispensational’, that they can only happen at certain times! The real truth is that they do not want these things to happen, it would disturb the religious ‘order’ of their lives! 
I came into a totally new experience of faith, the realisation that if God says it – then He will always do it! This is what faith is, not faith in a promise or a healing, but faith in God as a person, that my God is a God of His Word, who will always keep a given promise! This means that you have to make a conscious decision, either to continue to live ‘normally’ or to live in a faith-experience of letting God’s Word govern your decisions.
It is a command of God that we must possess and receive all that God has for us.
