Today Reminder – 13 June 2017



A reminder for today
By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvellous glory and excellence. (2 Peter 1:3)

I slept like a log last night and off course I did not want to get up this morning. It was cold and the bed was so nice and warm. I had to force myself out of the bed. I am convinced those blankets tried to hold me back. I guess everyone has a morning where you just want to fall back into the bed and stay there. I think I have way too many mornings like that. 

How can we live a godly life when we are going through so many challenges each day? How can we live a godly life when our life has not been so godly so far? When you walked into His presence and you asked for forgiveness your past became history. When you gave your heart to Jesus and you accepted Him as your saviour, your sins were wiped away. When you accepted Jesus and realised that you cannot do this on your own, your life became godly. 

By His amazing and divine power, He made you holy so that you can live a godly life. It is by our faith in Jesus and our love for Him that we are granted the abilities to live a godly life. It is by the realisation that we need Jesus and we can’t do without Him that our weaknesses are turned into strength. We are called to God by grace and given a new purpose by love. We are not broken anymore and nor are we lost. We have been given the most awesome gift and with this we have turned into vessels of honour that carries His words in our hearts so that our very deeds become holy. 

It is in our manor and in our way of life that we show Him. It is in our acceptance that He is God and in our faith that He took away all our sins so that we can be the warriors He wants us to be. It is in our trust and faith that we walk fearlessly and courageously on our journey. Jesus is our all and with Him we are stronger than we have ever been. We see life differently and we live life differently. We do not accept the lies of the enemy and we do not fear his attacks. We are the voice of Jesus and our lights shine brightly for Him.

Lord, we know you have given us all we need to live godly lives. Let us become the warriors you need us to be so that we can resist and defeat the enemy and show you to those who have forgotten you. Let our lives testify of your grace and glory so that other will seek it to. In Jesus name. 

Have an 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...
