In the Old Testament, God spoke to Adam, Noah, Moses and many others. He did this in many ways—such as parables, prophecy, dreams, visions and angelic visitations. Yet these revelations were never complete.

But we no longer need to seek visions or go to prophets to know God. Why? Because as the book of Hebrews tells us, that was how God spoke long ago to our ancestors. The good news is that today He has spoken to us by His own Son, Jesus Christ, “the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature”—the very one who “upholds all things by the word of His power,” as Rodgers Atwebembeire explains.

“Deliverance ministries” are everywhere in Africa. Are you sick? Unable to have children? Maybe your finances are bad. If so, there is surely a “ministry” near you that promises to cast out the demon behind your problem! But is such “deliverance” what the Bible teaches? Rodgers Atwebembeire brings practical insights and answers on this vital topic.

Suffering is a common experience for all people everywhere. In the midst of it we can feel far from God—or even rejected by Him. Is there hope for believers who suffer? In this compelling message, Rodgers Atwebembeire explains how Psalm 22 can help us not just endure suffering well, but glorify God in the midst of it.

Three major movements have shaped how Ugandan Christians understand themselves:

1) The East African Revival emphasized that we are sinners.

2) Today’s hyper-grace movement emphasizes that we are saints.

3) Some Word-Faith teachers confidently say we are gods.

Is there truth to any of these positions? 

A healthy Christian life depends on properly understanding the believer’s position before God. 

Rodgers Atwebembeire explains these movements—and brings sharp clarity from Scripture.

Many Christians are aware that the Jehovah’s Witness cult promotes heretical doctrines. But did you know that their aggressive denial of Jesus’ deity is nothing new? This teaching was first made popular in the fourth century AD by Arius of Alexandria, who claimed that “there was a time when the Son was not.” Danson Ottawa gives the biblical remedy for this deadly teaching.

The article on which this message is based was first published by The Gospel Coalition Africa.

In the first century there were dangerous “mockers” who caused divisions in the Body of Christ and were “worldly minded, devoid of the Spirit.” We, too, must be ready to recognize and respond to those who deny Jesus and His Gospel. Danson Ottawa of ACFAR Kenya applies Jude 17–23 to our day, giving three clear exhortations on how to respond to the challenge of false teaching and deal compassionately with those who are harmed by it.
