The impact of 81% of evangelical Christians voting for Donald Trump, more than voted for George Bush, has had a significant impact on how the world Perceives the church in the west, but not necessarily how other Christian conservative peoples have perceived America.1   underlining this explosive shift in American politics is a deep dissatisfaction that demonstrates that voters no longer trust career politicians. This political shift has particularly stunned what had been a centrist liberal Consensus in the west. In eastern Europe in particular, we now see what are essentially extremist parties making progress and even in wester Europe their...

Watching the BBC attempt to justify how it treated Sir Cliff Richard was embarrassing. The disgraceful sensationalising of a very difficult issue should have solicited a clear unequivocal apology, instead, they tried to bury their misdemeanour and wrap it up in the flag of ‘freedom of speech’. The founding fathers in America fought for the right of individuals to have freedom of speech, to express whatever they wished without fear of persecution from the state, to believe whatever they wanted to believe without being oppressed by the government to assemble peaceably and to be able to petition for redress of grievances. In fact,...

Thanks for loving ‘The One’ We have now trained over 1647 people in how to do street evangelism which is exciting. Of course, we could not have done any of this without your willingness to be trained and come out with us onto the streets of your city or town. If you had not chosen to love the one sheep who Christ loves and cared enough to overcome your nervousness about going out onto the streets and sharing your faith, we would not be able to celebrate this landmark breakthrough. The impact of what we are doing cannot be over exaggerated. We are truly on the verge of one of the greatest outpourings of the Spirt we have seen in our...

  “The church is more important than the Kingdom if by kingdom we essentially mean our ministry and activities.  Yinka Oyekan”.   Wow! What a statement can it really be justified, you may be surprised that my answer is yes depending on the context. But in what context could such a statement hold legitimacy, when can the church be said to be more important than the Kingdom? The answer is to be found Within our contemporary culture filled with a pop theology that denigrates the meaning of kingdom to an activity centred perspective, in our contemporary culture, Kingdom has come to mean “my ministry and the activities of my organisation” in as...

The business man and his family who own the rental property we rented for our Holiday in LA. Came to see Fiona and l for prayer for their daughter. it Was an awesome time- I prophesied revelation from three years ago, the husband wept as Jesus just loved them to bits. I knew God had favour for them when they opened up  with these words “the very next day after you said  you would pray a miracle happened We saw a dramatic Change in the eczema on our daughter literally overnight after three weeks of  real difficulty and no change, we were at our wits end” when they said this a powerful prophetic anointing flowed and after they ...

Renewals response to the ethics of War &, the bombing of civilians.: You may not agree with what I am about to say, but expand, enlarge and inform your perspective by reading it. The lazy response is to say war is never right.  For those who love renewal, mercy, grace and love, the question remains‘ how do we apply the higher values of renewal, kindness and mercy to war’? “Every act has a moral consequence”  for example; I may not kill a man but if I falsely slander him, I remove that quality of life he would otherwise enjoy, a good name.  Thus for the Christian in renewal  there are degrees of murder, a kind of...

    The arguments in the west over the debate on what defines acceptable morality and what is unacceptable will not go away and will cause a rift amongst even evangelicals in the west. The church cannot sweep it under the carpet and will not be able to avoid it. In the third world western morality linked with aid is increasingly being understood as another form of colonialism resulting in extreme and unfortunate laws being passed to delineate such nations values from the west. At least china with it’s resources grab is not seen as demanding a change in national values. For Christianity the stakes are really high and go far beyond the...

An open challenge to all Christians who think they are postmodernists please forward to Brian McLaren and Rob Bell Dear friends the idea of Christian Postmodernism is a fable which needs deconstructing. If you believed postmodernists (even they don’t truly understand what they believe)  and it takes years to master, a bit like jujitsu. Of course unlike ju-jitsu there is no grand masters red belt at the end of the study period, just a lot of doubt. But what is it? Well, postmodernism is at the core of a ideology best described as ’emergent church philosophy and doctrine’, it goes something like this, the big meta-narratives e.g....

Over the first weekend in December a group of six church friends accompanied me to visit the church in Luxembourg. It was wonderful to once again spend time with my friends Graham and Chris Kettle who have done an extraordinary work in the country. Our goal in going was to impart a fresh experience of the renewal that has started in our nation and to bless them. We ministered in both congregations of the church, an English speaking and then a French speaking church. Many responded in prayer and repentance as they adjusted their lives and stuck out for a fresh and deeper relationship with their heavenly father. A sense of reneweal was in the...
