(March 17, 2025) Pastor George Caleb Oguta shares a great testimony…
Born in Kenya I was raised by what became a Christian family. My parents, Caleb and Grace, are now in heaven… but it wasn’t always a happy family. I grew up in a disorganised and sinful family despite the fact that my parents were strong Catholic. We just didn’t know God!
But they came to knowing Him— and I too was to discover and know Jesus as my Saviour and Lord… and enjoy Christianity and a great church life.

(June 17, 2022) Robert McQuillan encourages a Pentecost enquirer…
Dear Dr Robert
Thanks for sharing last month about Pentecost Sunday. Please tell me about what’s called either ‘a word of prophecy’ or ‘a prophetic word.’ Jonno.
Dear Jonno
Either term is acceptable. In brief, prophesying means boldly speaking an encouraging, timely word from God to bless people –
a) One on one, not just face-to-face but via phone/email/Skype.
b) To your church on Sundays (as was generally expected years ago!), or at other church meetings even business ones.
As one of the Holy Spirit’s nine supernatural manifestation gifts (1 Corinthians 12) it can operate anywhere, anytime. Like the accompanying gifts word of wisdom and word of knowledge, it’s spoken in faith (itself one of those nine ‘operational gifts’).
This means that you must know the Holy Spirit personally eg through an intimate relationship of prayer, reading God’s word, trust and experience, whereby you just know that know that you know it is the Holy Spirit taking over and using you to bless, encourage, challenge some individual, or your church in general.
