Today Reminder - 14 December 2011


My prayer for you for today is that you will soar in faith and that you will be freed from the burden of sin through Jesus Christ our Lord. In Jesus Name.

Romans 3:22-24
We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.

The challenges in life can be overwhelming. It is funny in a way I think, when we start our days with a list of good intensions, but as the day progresses these intensions turn into irritations and before we know, we fall short of God’s standard. And then we start to doubt ourselves, we think we are not worthy to be ambassadors for God and we begin to question our own faith. And above all you feel foolish, because instead of showing God’s love you were angry or irritated. The worst part is that these terrible reactions have recurring events, and together they start to pull you down and you feel lost. You begin to doubt and that is when the devil starts to hammer you with negative thoughts. Yet, you are righteous. You are righteous because God declares you righteous! He declares you righteous with His kindness through Jesus that freed you from your penalty of sin. Yes, you are going to struggle and you are not perfect right from the beginning. It takes time and practise to be more like Jesus. What you must remember is that God is teaching and training you for what lies ahead. He is slowly moulding you into the warrior He designed you to be. No matter what lies in your path and whatever happens, remember that you are made right with God through your faith in Jesus Christ, and this is true for everyone, no matter who you are or what you did. Don’t give up, ask God to show you the way and to give you strength, courage and patience. You are not alone and you are a child of God. You remain in my prayers.

Waking up with rain outside, I get this feeling that God is telling me there is a new season of victories waiting on us.

Have an awesome day, friend of Jesus.

Cheers

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...
