There is only one God
(1 Kings 18:36)  At the hour of the afternoon sacrifice the prophet Elijah approached the altar and prayed, "O LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, prove now that you are the God of Israel and that I am your servant and have done all this at your command.
(1 Kings 18:37)  Answer me, LORD, answer me, so that this people will know that you, the LORD, are God and that you are bringing them back to yourself."
(1 Kings 18:38)  The LORD sent fire down, and it burned up the sacrifice, the wood, and the stones, scorched the earth and dried up the water in the trench.
(1 Kings 18:39)  When the people saw this, they threw themselves on the ground and exclaimed, "The LORD is God; the LORD alone is God!"

In our daily life’s we are constantly faced with challenges that pulls us away from God. It is important to remember again that it is all about God. Everything we do must be to glorify His great name.
It is also important to remember that we can only be successful if we trust Him and focus on Him.
God wants to make Him visible through you. It is in Him that you will find your strength.
In the history behind Elijah and the prophets of Baal, it is clear that God wanted Israel to see that He is the only living God. In the same way God stunned the people of Israel with His awesome power He wants to surprise the world around you with His awesome power.
Jesus came to be the light in our world. He already faced death and defeated sin. He carried the burden so that we can just glorify God. He died so that we can live. Let your life be a reflection of His great love. Anything is possible through Him.
(John 1:1)  In the beginning the Word already existed; the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
(John 1:2)  From the very beginning the Word was with God.
(John 1:3)  Through him God made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without him.
(John 1:4)  The Word was the source of life, and this life brought light to people.
(John 1:5)  The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has never put it out.

The creator of heaven and earth is your protector. He will never leave you and He will never sleep. He is God.
(Philippians 2:8)  He was humble and walked the path of obedience all the way to death--- his death on the cross.
(Philippians 2:9)  For this reason God raised him to the highest place above and gave him the name that is greater than any other name.
(Philippians 2:10)  And so, in honor of the name of Jesus all beings in heaven, on earth, and in the world below will fall on their knees,
(Philippians 2:11)  and all will openly proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Just to remind you

When I say that 'I am a Christian', I am not shouting that 'I am clean living. I'm whispering 'I was lost, but now I'm found and forgiven.'  When I say 'I am a Christian', I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.   When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.  When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.  When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not claiming to be perfect. My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it. When I say 'I am a Christian', I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name. When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not holier than you. I’m just a simple sinner who received God...

Today Reminder – 7 August 2014 (Day 5 – Return to Proverbs)

A reminder for today Honour the LORD with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine. (Proverbs 3:9-10) When we realise that all we are and all that we are good at is a blessing from the Lord we soon see how we can honour Him with these wonderful talents. I give all the credit to the Lord for all that I accomplish and all that I do and I am humbled by the way He continues to give me wisdom in my work. The promise here is much greater than we realise. When we honour Him with all that we produce, He will fill our barns and let our vats overflow. This to me means that the more we honour Him in what we produce (do) the more He will bless what we do up to the extend where we will see His blessings and they will leave us completely overwhelmed. In the end all that we have comes from God and He will increase what we have when we seek Him above all and live to bring glory to Him. ...

Today Reminder (Boxes) – 9 November 2017

A reminder for today   I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End [the Eternal One]. (Revelation 22:13 ) When you are reading this, I will be well on my way to my parents. Today is their moving day and we are off to help. Now, when it comes to moving I am almost an expert. We moved a few times and I can tell you it was never fun. Even still today our furniture starts to shake when a truck drives by. Now moving is all about boxes. Your stuff goes into the box and then onto the truck and finally at the new destination the stuff comes out of the box. One thing I can tell you is that with every move our stuff got lesser and lesser, because I gave some away that I thought we do not need anymore. Some would think I just made it less and easier to move. I would argue the opposite, but surely everyone is entitled to their own opinion. When we look at life it is a bit like moving. You see we experience things in life and we box it. This c...
