Keith Daniel

Keith Daniel (1946 - 2021). South African evangelist and Bible teacher born in Cape Town to Jack, a businessman and World War II veteran, and Maud. Raised in a troubled home marked by his father’s alcoholism, he ran away as a teen, facing family strife until his brother Dudley’s conversion in the 1960s sparked his own at 20. Called to ministry soon after, he studied at Glenvar Bible College, memorizing vast Scripture passages, a hallmark of his preaching. Joining the African Evangelistic Band, he traveled across South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, and made over 20 North American tours, speaking at churches, schools, and IBLP Family Conferences. Daniel’s sermons, like his recitation of the Sermon on the Mount, emphasized holiness, repentance, and Scripture’s authority. Married to Jenny le Roux in 1978, a godly woman 12 years his junior, they had children, including Roy, and ministered together. He authored no books but recorded 200 video sermons, now shared online. His uncompromising style, blending conviction and empathy, influenced thousands globally.

Sermon Transcription
I'm very grateful to the dear Lord Jesus for this privilege of being in your pulpit and to worship him together with you. I thank very much our dear brother John Speed and his good friend and brother Tim Crawford I'm coming right for allowing me to come to this part of your country and I'm very grateful for this meeting's last evening where I was able to preach one sermon broken up into two and I'd long for every one of you if God would put it on your heart to try and get that video or DVD, whatever you would name it here those of you that were not here but God bless you and thank you good brothers for allowing me to be here with you and also there's some young people that kept us rather late last night Ryan Ringnold, Sean Morris, Jake Gardner, Tucker Seale all these fellows who love the King James Bible and we sat there last night and I just sensed your integrity and zeal for Christ and I'm sure heaven was standing still at some of the statements you made last night and your love for Christ and I'm very grateful for the honor of having sat with those young people last evening after the service also I see quite a lot of folks put their names down for the newsletter that my wife well different people in your continent send it out if you don't want to receive a newsletter to pray for this old man in Africa then just take a copy they made photocopies as best as they could of this program in America it's the 32nd time I've toured your country and sometimes to many great auditoriums sometimes to small doesn't matter so long as it's God's itinerary and over the last 32 tours of 10 week tours of your country God has helped me to have the privilege normally in very deeply conservative pulpits across this whole land and I am deeply grateful for that privilege also I see my wife's book one of the books is in the back there they must have sent it ahead I only saw it after the meeting so thank you for putting it out there I don't know how you work in your country but on Sundays the conservative Christians we don't do any trading with money at all because you've got 6 days to do that from what I gather it's something of a donation of whatever you feel even if you haven't got money and you're starving please take it for nothing but there's a table there with my wife Jenny's book it has been used in a remarkable way to bring many multitudes of people to know Christ and many preachers in the world who've sent these emails and phone calls of how God met with them in a way they've never ever experienced through one of the poems that's been put in their hands it is broken before God and found vital reality some for the first time in their lives so that poetry book of hers has been honoured in a lovely way and I see there's a few copies back there on some table of my darling wife and if you'd like to see why I'm such a very blessed and happy man just go and see the photograph on that poetry book of hers and you'll know how wealthy I am well God bless every one of you for being here I am deeply grateful I'm putting that on to know when to stop can we bow before God there is a baby's room I believe with every bit of equipment to make you comfortable and not to disturb God's word to others to those who perhaps don't know of that I'm very scared not to offend but scared that anyone might not be able to concentrate who came here this morning so our father we bless thee for the mercy of God upon sinners we bless thee for the grace and mercy upon every one of us who deserve eternal damnation apart from our Lord Jesus Christ's great sacrifice there's none of us that would be able to have hope of eternal life we praise thee above everything for Christ for his love to all men for he tasted death for every man he faced death for every man how we love thee for our Saviour and those of us who have been washed in the blood of God God the Son in whom God the Holy Spirit dwells for he that hath not the Spirit of Christ is none of him to every one of us who as newborn babes have desired, devoured the murk of the word to be renewed day by day to enable us to walk with God and not to bring blaspheme on God's name by daring to say we're saved if we're not kept by the power of God through faith that cometh by the word alone to the degree we soak ourselves in it to all of us who were washed in the blood we come and offer thee praise and adoration and gratitude we ask thee to visit us now wash me in mercy in the blood of Jesus Christ fill me with the Holy Spirit anoint my mind and my lips and every faculty of my being I suppose the greatest fear I have on earth is to be in the pulpit without God there's nothing more dangerous on earth in history than a man in the pulpit before men with a Bible in his hand alone, without God have mercy, please and because of the blood, wash me clean that I might be a vessel of meat for the Master's use and visit us now through thy holy word even the hardest heart break completely forever today through thy word protect us from our only enemy, Satan and all the demons the third of the angels of heaven who were swept with his tail as he was cast down all who rebelled against thee who are now desperate demons protect us from all the powers of darkness that follow and serve Satan and visit us visit us now in Jesus the Christ holy name and for his glory alone and don't let Satan use any one of us even if it was a cell phone to break down God's work now for Christ's sake, amen please don't follow me in your Bibles because it's a few hundred verses I'm quoting and I don't want pages ruffling and trust me I'm not taking anything out of its context Psalm 73 verse 3 I was envious at the foolish I was envious at the foolish when I saw the prosperity of the wicked I was envious at the foolish when I saw the prosperity of the wicked verse 17 until I went into the sanctuary until I went into the sanctuary of God then understood I their end then understood I their end Job 21 verse 13 they spend their days in wealth and in a moment go down to the grave they live their lives in luxury and wealth and without any prolonged sickness and suffering they die they spend their days in wealth and in a moment go down to the grave therefore therefore they say unto God depart from us depart from us for we desire not the knowledge we desire not the knowledge of thy ways what is the almighty that we should serve him and what profit should we have that we should pray unto him in Proverbs 30 verse 8 a godly and wise man earnestly but carefully prayed give me give me neither poverty nor riches give me neither poverty nor riches feed me with food convenient for me lest I be full and deny thee and say who is the Lord lest I be full and deny thee and say who is the Lord or lest I be poor and steal and take the name of my God in vain in Luke 12 verse 15 Jesus said take heed and beware of covetousness take heed and beware of covetousness for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth and he spake a parable unto them he spake a parable unto them saying the ground of a certain rich man the ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully and he thought within himself saying what shall I do because I have no room where to bestow my fruits and he said this will I do I will pull down my barns and build greater I will pull down my barns and build greater and there will I bestow all my fruits and all my goods and I will say to my soul so now as much goods laid up for many years take thine ease eat drink and be merry but God said unto him thou fool this night thy soul shall be required of thee then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided whose shall those things be which thou hast provided so as he that layeth up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God so is he that layeth up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God Psalm 49 verse 16 be not thou afraid when one is made rich when the glory of his house is increased for when he dieth he shall carry nothing away when he dieth he shall carry nothing away his glory shall not descend after him though while he lived he blessed his soul and men will praise thee when thou dost well to thyself he shall go to the generation of his fathers they shall never see light in Luke 16 verse 19 Jesus said there was a certain rich man which was clothed in purple and fine linen and fed sumptuously every day he lived in luxury every day there was a certain beggar named Lazarus which was laid at his gate full of sores desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table moreover the dogs came and licked his sores and it came to pass it came to pass that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom the rich man also died the rich man also died and was buried and in hell in hell he lift up his eyes being in torments and seeth Abraham afar off and Lazarus Lazarus in his bosom and he cried and said father Abraham have mercy on me for I am tormented in this flame father Abraham have mercy on me and send Lazarus send Lazarus send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue for I am tormented I am tormented in this flame but Abraham said son remember that thou in thy lifetime receive it thy good things and likewise Lazarus evil things but now he is comforted and thou are tormented and beside all this between us and you there is a great gulf fixed so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot neither can they pass to us that would come from thence then he said I pray thee therefore father I pray thee therefore father that thou wouldst send him to my father's house for I have five brethren I have five brothers that he may testify unto them that they also come into this place of torment Abraham saith unto him they have Moses and the prophets let them hear them and he said nay father Abraham but if one went unto them from the dead if one went unto them from the dead they will repent and he said unto him if they hear not Moses and the prophets neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead if they hear not Moses and the prophets neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead oh how many on the day of judgment will hear Christ cry the words recorded in Matthew 25 verse 41 oh how many on the day of judgment will hear Christ cry the words recorded in Matthew 25 verse 41 depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels for I was not hungry and he gave me no meat I was thirsty and he gave me no drink I was a stranger and he took me not in naked and he clothed me not sick and in prison and he visited me not then shall they also answer him saying then shall they also answer him saying Lord when saw we thee and hungry when saw we thee and hungry or a thirst or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister unto thee then shall he answer them saying verily I say unto you in as much as ye did it not for one of the least of these ye did it not to me in as much as ye did it not to one of the least of these ye did it not to me and these shall go away into everlasting punishment these shall go away into everlasting punishment but the righteous into life eternal the righteous into life eternal James 5 verse 1 go to now ye rich men weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you your riches are corrupted your riches are corrupted your garments are moth-eaten your gold and silver is cankered and the rust of them shall be a witness against you and shall eat your flesh as it were fire the rust of them shall be a witness against you and shall eat your flesh as it were fire Mark 10 verse 17 and when he was gone forth into the way there came one running there came one running and kneeled to him and asked him good master what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life and Jesus said unto him why why callest thou me good there is none good but one that is God God thou knowest the commandments do not commit adultery do not kill do not steal do not bear false witness defraud not honor thy father and mother and he answered and said unto him master all these have I observed from my youth then Jesus beholding him loved him then Jesus beholding him loved him and said unto him one thing thou lackest go thy way sell whatsoever thou hast sell whatsoever thou hast and give to the poor and thou shalt have treasure in heaven thou shalt have treasure in heaven and come come take up the cross and follow me come take up the cross and follow me and he he was sad at that saying he was sad at that saying and went away grieved for he had great possessions and Jesus looked round about and saith unto his disciples how hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God and the disciples were astonished the disciples were astonished at his words but Jesus answereth again and saith children how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God and they were astonished out of measure saying among themselves who then can enter into the of God it is for a camel to go through eye than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God it is for a rich man to enter into the kingdom God is for a
