Alexander's Blog
“Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old” (Matthew 13:52)
Alexander F Venter’s blog is the product of his teaching ministry starting from January 1975 when he was ordained to ‘the ministry’ as a church planter and pastor. His years of experience, empowered by numerous significant relationships, has produced relevant resources in the form of teaching notes, audios, DVDs and books – to help all who want to follow Jesus, with a view to equipping them for life and ministry in God’s Kingdom. As a “teacher of God’s Word instructed in the Kingdom of Heaven, he brings out treasures from his storeroom, both old and new” (Matthew 13:52). This website makes some of these Kingdom treasures available to all who may be interested.

The Crown: Visible Leadership & Invisible Government
Meditation on 1 Samuel 8 and 9. A major turning point in Israel’s history was when they asked for a visible king like all the other nations: “Give us a king to lead us”. God took it personally. It was, in effect, a rejection of God’s invisible kingship over them (1...
When we Presume on God – Ichabod
Reflecting on 1 Samuel 4 and following, I was struck by Israel's presuming on God and what resulted. This story relates to what is going on in our world, and the response and role of God's people, Jesus' church. When Israel lost the battle against the Philistines,...

Off-loading my heavy heart as lamenting to God before our nation in the Hebrew prophetic tradition: Responding to this article, I believe Ace Magashule is beyond embarrassment, incapable of shame. He should start with himself and his sons - all accused of gross...
Churches to Meet or Not to Meet?
The South African government’s allowance of church gatherings (of up to 50 people) to resume at level 3, next week Monday 1 June 2020, is exposing a divided church and society… once again! As usual, socio-ethical issues and considerations become divisive,...
