Today Reminder – 23 February 2016

A reminder for today
Ezekiel is an example for you; you will do just as he has done. And when that time comes, you will know that I am the Sovereign LORD. (Ezekiel 24:24)

Reading through Ezekiel is quite a challenge. It is a book filled with judgement against Israel and their sins and how they turned away from God. God is very angry with them as He punishes them for their mistakes. It is an eye opener to see how God used Ezekiel and how Ezekiel did all that God commanded. Even when God took his wife, he still listened and did as God requested. Ezekiel never questioned God and did as God commanded with no fear and reluctance. 

Today I feel that God just wants us to remember that nothing we have and nothing we do is from our own abilities and strength. Everything we have and all that we achieve each day is a blessing. Everything can be taken from us in an instant and we can be left with nothing. Then again is our worldly things really so important. Does your car of your house determine who you are and how you will enter heaven? Is your position or title a pre-requisite for your entry into heaven?  Can we buy our way into heaven and can we ever have something that God does not have? 

It is the enemy that makes us believe that we must be important and live in an expensive house and drive an expensive car. It is the enemy that deems these things important, because they are of this world. These material things have been the end of so many and they will continue to ruin people as long as the desire for them is accepted. Ezekiel is an example for us and we need to look past this world and focus our lives on God. We need to understand that all we have is a blessing and we need to understand where it all comes from. God is the giver, but most of all God is the giver of life and we need to desire life with Him more than anything else.

Lord, we praise you for all you have done for us and all that you continue to do in our lives. Thank you for all the blessings we receive so lovingly from your Father hand. Let us praise your name and glorify you by the way we live and use your gifts, In Jesus name.

Let every knee bow down and every voice declare that Jesus Christ is the Lord.

Have and awesome day dear 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...
