Today's thought - 25 June 2026 (Read, Pray and Repeat)

I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. I am reading this verse in Psalm 27, and I feel how the Holy Spirit says, “Did I not say so?”. You know it may feel at times I am repeating myself but honestly maybe I do. Maybe sometimes I have to hear myself say it again.

I aways come back to my court case, but I believe what I face and what I see and what I experience is relevant to me and to you. We have to complete our answering affidavit after another attack was launched to try and keep my daughter from me and to alienate her from me more. So, I bought this new printer to print what in the end was a 185-page affidavit with annexures. Now first I struggled to get it to work while I have very limited time to read through all and to print it. Finally, when I am done and amendments were made, the printer ran out of ink. To top it all off there are no 24-hour internet cafés in my area. When I finally got to one, they only have computers and no printers.

Simple things like this will drive people insane. In the end my one friend got up at two in the morning, printed what was left to print. I drove to the police to get them all commissioned and signed and waited in front of a PostNet until they opened so I could quickly scan all the pages and send it to my lawyer, who by the way also got up before dawn to make sure I am fine and that I am able to get it all done. How amazing is that?

One thing I can testify to and that is not only is Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit vital in my day-to-day life and how I remain stable and at peace throughout this, but the people the Lord brings into my life is amazing. My lawyers, my advocate, my Pastors, my friends, my work, my boss and my church and even the Police have been God send and there are no other words to describe them. They are unbelievable and amazing people. I thank God for them literally every day.

The end is near my friend. It is near. I always write to you on how important your relationship is with the Holy Spirit and believe me it may sound like I have nothing else to say, but it is unbelievable how He carries me through all this and how He just gives me peace.

Now listen to this (Galatians 5): “Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God”.

If you look at people and how they deal with things and how they live their lives, especially people who wants to hurt you or deceive you, then you will see many of these works (as Paul calls them) are visible in their lives. When the Holy Spirit is not part of your life or important to you, you will fall into any of these default reactions or actions, and you will feel no guilt or fear for your actions. If He is ignored He will be quiet. Then Paul continues to say: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another”.

I am everything but perfect and I still have a long way to go, but I can tell you I have seen how the Holy Spirit produces these fruits in my life when I would otherwise be lost and beaten. You have to understand the context. Not only is it this court case but we are busy with one of the hardest and most time-consuming projects that constantly deviates as other things are added or needed and each one is important and must be done as soon as possible. This means that I literally sit and work every day and most nights.

In the midst of all God says: “Be still and know that I am God and I am with you in it all. It shall be well”.

Do I need to say more?

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 24 June 2026 (Don't just walk but run for God)

 

My dear friend, there are a few things this morning that are on my heart and I believe the Holy Spirit is guiding us in a direction. It starts with Ezekiel 33:13, “When I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous works shall be remembered; but because of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die”.

So, we know faith without works is dead and we can not please God without faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen. Now here in Ezekiel the Holy Spirit reminds me again that we cannot go through the fire on our own for then we will surely burn (die). If we attempt to walk this journey on our own our righteousness will fail and we will fall. In other words, if we try to live in our purpose without the Holy Spirit or His guidance we will fail.

Then He goes on in Jeremiah 3:3, “Therefore the showers have been withheld,
And there has been no latter rain. You have had a harlot’s forehead; You refuse to be ashamed”. And here He is telling me if I attempt any of what lies ahead without Him or His guidance my rain will be withheld. He basically says that His favour and His blessing will not rest upon us if we try to walk on our own or continue to sin. We need to confess our sins and ask the Lord to wash us in His blood so that we can be fully righteous before God and ask Him for a pure and clean heart and a right spirit so we can hear His voice clearly and follow His direction without any guilt.

Then He says in Psalm 27:14, “Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!”.

In essence without the Holy Spirit, I am toast. I can testify to this because honestly without Him I would have lost my mind by now and I would have given up. The time and the pain and the costs and the crap surrounding this whole court case would have destroyed me months ago was it not for the Holy Spirit. His hand is constantly on this from the day it landed on me and how someone just stepped in to assist me financially and still do. From being calm and respectful with someone who lies and deceives to even willing to help her. To being arrested and the case not enrolled and no bail was needed to be paid to the amazing legal team that fights this battle to God’s hand and favour on my life, because I have not for one moment needed to worry about finances and I continue to tithe and give as much as I can and I keep obeying whatever God puts on my heart and I stop all that He does not agree with.

This is God and this is one miracle after another. People I pray for got healed. Men on the street who is forgotten by the world now goes to church and read a Bible. People from my work start to listen to our church sermons and they go to church. In the midst of my worst battles yet, God continue to do miracle after miracle. Why? Because I keep my eyes on Him and when I fall, I go on my knees before Him, and I confess and ask for forgiveness, and I stand up stronger and more determined. Because I dare not take my eyes of Him. Now He is saying that in the days ahead this attitude will be even more important and I need to walk closer with Him. That is why He says wait patiently and be of good courage. He will give us strength in it and He will be with us.

All I can say is that if God is for me, who can be against me.

Do not be dismayed or confused but remain focussed on Jesus and make your prayer time a priority each and every day.

If He can do all this for me, He can do it for you. Just seek Him above all else and trust His way and His time. Soon it will all be over and God will be glorified in my testimony, and many will know that He is God and I will continue to serve Him and worship Him no matter what.

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 23 June 2026 (Tribulation)

 

Ok, so today’s message is kind of a dual message. Two things are on my mind hence my very somber scripture, but I believe the Holy Spirit is placing this on my heart for a reason. So, here we go.

Ezekiel 32 is a prophetic message from the prophet Ezekiel that pronounces the fall and judgment of Egypt and its ruler, Pharaoh. It delivers a stern warning about the consequences of human pride and highlights that no earthly power, no matter how great, is exempt from God’s justice.

Now Jesus said in John 16:33, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world”. Now this scripture has pretty much become one that is daily on my mind since this whole court case started, but why today so much.

I wrote earlier in one my messages that I did not realize for some time how many people all over the world reads my blog and I have to emphasize this. It is and will always be an honour and a privilege to write to you my friend and please know that I do not take this lightly, but I understand the importance of sharing what God puts on my heart. Now with that in mind I also realise that many of you reading this blog are in countries where Christianity is not celebrated freely and that you are persecuted for your faith in Jesus Christ.

This makes writing to you even more important and sharing what God does in my life and in the lives or other more relevant. You see Paul writes in Romans 5, “And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us”.

You see my faith and my love of Christ has taken me through lies, deceit, loss, pain and even prison. Yet, in all of this I remain focused on the Lord my God and on Jesus Christ who saved me.

So, what I am trying to say is that we face tribulation and we go through stuff, but God’s Word remains unchanged and we must never live for this world but for the life after this. Yes, we may be persecuted and even killed but to live is Christ and to die is gain for we know that in the end we will live forever in the house of the Lord and all that we face now is but a mere moment.

Then part two, is simply in the end we will all stand before the judgment seat of God, and we will face His wrath for the things we have done. Do not underestimate your value in the kingdom of God but boldly live out your faith and save as many as you can. For one more salvation is one less lost.

I love you, my friend, and I know it is hard, but know this. God is with you all the way. I know this because I see it so clearly every day. No matter the outcome of my day, I will still praise His name. It shall be well.

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 22 June 2026 (Waves)

 

And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” (Matthew 14:28)

Today is my little girl’s birthday and you can imagine it is hard not being able to see her or talk to her due to the nonsense that one person started for her own selfish gain. I know it will all be over soon and the truth will come out and that God is fighting this battle for me, but it still hurts and it is still hard and I miss her so very much.

Peter is on my mind since yesterday and I will share with you why. Peter got out of the boat and walked towards Jesus on the water. Joyce Meyer once said that sometimes we should get out of the boat, but I feel we should get out of the boat every day. Life is like the ocean. Sometimes it is quiet, sometimes there are waves and sometimes there are storms and even hurricanes. Sometimes we sink because we fear the waves and the wind and sometimes, we sink in quiet waters because the world and our own carnal desires make us lose focus and we begin to make God a 911 God. We only call when we need Him.

Walking with God should not be a once in a while moment when we feel like it. Walking with God should be an all-time thing. In our good and in our bad and in our in-between times. In fact, it should be an every minute type of thing.

A few years ago, before we got divorced, I had an encounter with God, but I would say an unexpected one. You see my circumstances and emotional abuse at that time had driven me to fatigue and I faced severe financial problems over it all and the stress and lack of sleep made me make mistakes in my work. God stepped in and in a moment it all changed, but it had a ripple effect and my entire work environment changed in such a way that it was noted by my managers and commended on. You see when God changed my circumstances He changed my identity. He took a man who was broken and hurt, and He showed me that He is in it with me and that gave me more than confidence, it changed my heart. It changed my mind.

My battles at home were still there but the peace of God overtook all the lies and the abuse and the hurt and the pain. It changed my direction and I guess the enemy did not like that.

What I am trying to say is that God is always walking with us even if we do not walk with Him. I walked with Him in that time but it was more a casual walk and I guess a place of comfort walk. In that encounter that all changed because now I started to desire more and the direction of my life started to get in line with the purpose of my life.

When you step out of the boat today (out of bed) there is only one thing to consider, to remember and to apply. Keep your eyes on Jesus. He is the way, the truth and the life. He alone is the answer in all the types of oceans we walk into, and He alone can change your storms. Give it all to Him and trust His way, His will and His timing. He steps in when we the time is right and when He steps in, things change and sometimes radically. My dear friend, God is right there with you right now and He is listening. Tell Him all about it and hand it over. God says in Psalm 91:15, “He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honour him”.

This is a promise and just as God changed my circumstances and as He going to change them again, He will also change yours. Just have faith because “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17)”. In other words, read the Word of God and speak the Word of God. There is power in your words, so speak life over your circumstances.

I love you my friend. Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 21 June 2026 (Worship)

 

My dear friend, this scripture is definitely for me but also for you reading my blog. The Holy Spirit will reveal that to you. It says here in Ezekiel 30:3, “For the day is near,Even the day of the LORD is near; It will be a day of clouds, the time of the Gentiles”.

The end is near. The day of the Lord is near. The end of your battle is near.

The day of the Lord, the day of the return of our Lord Jesus is closer than we think and we know this for the times we live in and the things that are happening point towards the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

My message is short today. My dear friend, go to church and worship the Lord our God for the victory of your battle is at hand and it will soon come to pass. Worship God for your healing and for your pain and whatever it is that is a thorn in your flesh for He will help you and you will see His hand in your challenge. I believe this and I know this for I know what we ask Jesus to help us with and if we believe it, it shall be so.

Come with me today and let us worship and praise our amazing and wonderful Lord and God. It is Father’s Day and I will worship my Father for His grace and mercy and for working all things for good for my daughter. For I walk by faith and not by sight and I know it shall be well.

I honour all the fathers out there reading my blog and I pray that our Lord will bless you and your family and that you will see His grace unfold in your life and in your challenges. All things will work out for good for us just as God promises. Just keep trusting Him.

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 20 June 2026 (Process)

 

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31). Every season, every battle and every challenge is a process that is initiated whether it is something we did or something that happens to us. It remains a process and in it we will be in that fire where things happen, and we will have to deal with them as they come.

Now my verse is from Psalm 27, and I am just going to repeat it here for effect, “Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, spouting malicious accusations. I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living (NIV)”.

Now we know that we know there is a process. The process God will determine how it happens for in the process there are things that need to happen and most of the time these things require faith. Remember it is impossible to please God without faith (Hebrews 11:6).

King Hezekiah was the 13th king of Judah, reigning from approximately 715 to 686 BC. He is celebrated in the Bible as one of the most faithful kings of the southern kingdom, renowned for his sweeping religious reforms, his deep reliance on prayer, and his miraculous deliverance from the Assyrian army.

Now this battle with the Assyrian army is where I want to place your focus. These guys were rough and tough and meaner than a junk yard dog. The poor Judah were terrified of this vast army that was about to destroy them and they were discouraged. Let’s dive in at 2 Chronicles 32 after the people raised their concerns and their uncertainty of what awaited them. This is King Hezekiah’s response:

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him. With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people gained confidence from what Hezekiah the king of Judah said.

Two things: One - He said that they (the enemy) rely on their own strength and on people, but they rely on God who will help them fight their battles. Two – After they heard his words (God’s Word) they were encouraged. They had confidence.

What does the Bible give us? It gives guidance, it gives direction, it gives God’s promises and it gives us confidence. The more time you spend in the Word, the more your confidence grows. The more time you spend in the Word, the better you get to know God and the more time you spend in the Word, the more real the armour of God becomes. The more you grow in your confidence the more you will trust and rely on God for the outcome and the victory. In other words more of Christ and less of me.

Because why do we need this?

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand (Ephesians 6).

My dear friend, the battles are real, and the enemy walks around like a lion ready to devour us, but we no longer live in the world. We live in the kingdom of heaven. We are God’s children and we live in His grace and in His strength and in His protection. That is why we rejoice even in our tribulations because Jesus said in John 16, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world”.

Be of good cheer (take heart) in your trials, in your pain, in your struggles, in your divorce, in your court case, in your sickness, in your hurt, in your loss and in your brokenness for Jesus Christ's triumph over sin, suffering, and death means that no worldly struggle or challenge has the final say, ever. Plus, you will not be affected by the lies of the enemy, but you will stand in the truth of God’s Word and in your relationship with the Holy Spirit.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 19 June 2026 (In it with you)

 

I want to add on what we were talking about yesterday. We know that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were thrown into the fire and God did not extinguish the fire. We know that when they came out, they did not even smell of fire. There are three important things we need to remember, and I think we need to make it part of our daily walk.

1) God did not stop the fire. So, sometimes we must go through the fire.

2) Three were thrown into the fire, but four walked in the fire. God will be with you through whatever you face. He is in it with you.

3) When they came out the fire it had no effect on them, but it affected the viewpoint of Nebuchadnezzar because he said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here”. His entire view changed and that means that our fires (battles) will affect other even while we are going through them.

That is why our scripture is so important today and I know God is speaking to me just as much to you that you hear it and remember it - When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.

We read in Isaiah 43:1, “But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine”.

Not only does He call you by your name, He declares that you are His. Jesus did not just go through the pain and the suffering and the cross. He defeated death, satan and sin. He took all your sin on Him, but He also stands daily and intercedes for you. The Bible says in Romans 8:34, “Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us”.

My dear friend I am trying to make a very important point here. Jesus will be in the fire with you. No weapon will prosper and the fire will not scorch you. He walks and carries you when you can’t go on and above all that He calls you His own and He stands at the right hand of God the Father and He prays for you. 

This is absolutely mind blowing. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8).

My dear friend, I love you very much, but it is a drop in the ocean compared to the love of God. What He did and what He continuous to do every day. He is for you and you are His and this means that nothing and I say nothing can separate us from the love of God and nothing can take you from His hand. Be strong and courageous because He is already in the fight for you. Come and let us battle on our knees and let God fight the actual battle. Just as God is putting things in place in my court case and fighting for me, He is also fighting for you and preparing things for you. Be patient in the fire, that is why they walked around in the fire. They did not lie down and felt sorry for themselves, they walked around free giving glory to God and in the end the fire they were thrown in became the fire that changed their lives and the lives of other.

Have an awesome, awesome day.

Today's thought - 18 June 2026 (Faith)

 

I think God is busy teaching me something around faith. He keeps brining me back to Hebrews 11 and He seem to keep pointing me to the faith that is described by the writer through the lives of the people in the Bible. That is why He is saying to us this morning that we have been invited to live in something better that what those guys had and that is faith’s fullness.

Faith is believing in something before you have received it and I know my battles will increase and my attacks will get more. Believe me the enemy is using all his cards to keep me from living in my purpose and doing what I have been called to do.

I want to use Shadrach, Mesarch and Abednego as an example. We know they did not want to bow down to the statue and that Nebuchadnezzar asked his men to increase the furnace seven time more than usual. The bible says that the men who threw them in the furnace was consumed by the fire so hot it was. Once in the fire there was a fourth man with them in the fire walking around.

Now, when we face the fires of life (the attacks), the enemy will increase it more and more and even when it is increased God will intervene and our enemies will be destroyed (consumed) by God’s fire and in the midst of this fire (storm) we will rise and He (Jesus) will walk in it and through it with us.

My friend, Jesus said if you have faith the size of a mustard seed you can move a mountain and everything we ask in faith He will give us. I am reminded of this verse in Matthew 7, “If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!”.

If we know how to take care of our children, how much more will our father take care of us. Jesus on a more than one occasion said to the disciples that their faith is lacking. So, Jesus is saying to you and me today, “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”.

My dear friend, God is saying, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9).

Do not allow what you are facing and what you are going through to alter your direction or influence your faith. In fact, be more tenacious in your faith and trust God because He said, “Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun”.

I love you my friend, have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 17 June 2026 (Just do it)

 

A couple of years ago Nike came up with the slogan, “Just do it”. I loved it because I was an athlete in South Africa’s National Taekwondo team. I was light weight in our national team for almost ten years. I loved it. I loved the adrenaline before the match and I loved to compete. I won many fights, but I also lost many fights. I always taught my students that you can lose a fight like a winner or win a fight and actually lose it. It is the attitude that you compete with and how you respond to victory and to losing. I did not like losing, but I learned from it.

Hebrews 11:6 says, “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him”.

The writer of Hebrews goes on here in Hebrews 11 and takes examples of people in the Bible and how they acted on faith and the result of this. Much like I have been doing the last few days as we dived into encounters with God. Today the Holy Spirit points me back to faith and how it is impossible to please God without faith.

Faith is a lot like the “Just do it” slogan of Nike. Faith is as we saw the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen. Jesus walked in that same just do it faith when He ministered here on earth and it is the same concept that He taught when He said if you ask for it and you believe it you shall receive it. It is in this same context that He took five loaves of bread and two fishes and fed over five thousand people. It is by this very same faith He raised Lazarus from the dead and the same faith Peter used when he boldly preached the gospel and Paul when he was in prison. It is by this faith that Moses placed his staff in the red sea, and it is by this same faith we should walk each day.

We looked at encounters and the importance of walking in a close relationship with the Holy Spirit. Now the Holy Spirit is saying that it does not stop there. Now we walk by faith and not by sight. It is this just do it mentality that will help us to grow in our faith and to trust in the Lord. It is by boldly stepping out into the world and walking different, acting differently, speaking differently, feeling different and loving people differently.

It is by our full and complete surrender to the Holy Spirit and seeking Him all the time and not just for a few minutes in the morning. When my world shakes and I start to feel the pressures of this world, I turn to Him. Hebrews 12:3 (TPT) says, “So consider carefully how Jesus faced such intense opposition from sinners who opposed their own souls, so that you won’t become worn down and cave in under life’s pressures”.

This is profound for you and me as we face life’s pressures. Through Jesus Christ who gives us enough strength to overcome all, we will be more than conquerors, and we will succeed even when the storm overwhelms us.

My dear friend, I love you very much and I say this again and I want you to hear it and believe it. He who is in us, is far greater than he who is in this world and we will overcome all our battles and the Lord is preparing a table while our enemies are watching. A table of victory not a table of loss. A table of joy and not a table of sorrow. A table of abundance and not a table of pain and sorrow. A table that is full and a cup that overflows. Nothing can separate us from the love of God, and all things will work out for good. That is a Biblical promise. Just do it, just have faith.

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 16 June 2026 (Moses)

 

Moses was the man that God spoke to. He was raised in Pharoah’s court and then decided to become the one who stepped in for the oppression of his people and killed a man. He then ran away and hid in the wilderness. His encounter was on the mountain with the burning bush. Now I do not know if burning bushes was common in that area, but this one stood out because it did not consume the bush but remained burning and once Moses came close God spoke. Moses needed to step into God’s presence or rather his prayer closet. I like that comparison. Your prayer time with God is your burning bush.

A few things to consider. He did not willingly accept his calling, no he had a few excuses. First Moses said, “Who am I” and this is not a bad thing for God does not call the qualified, he qualifies the called. It also points to humility and thus will make him more dependant on God for that is where we all should be. What did God say and you have to love this, “I will certainly be with you”. If you have been reading with us for some time you will know that this is something God clearly says to us all. He is with you and He will never leave you nor forsake you.

Secondly Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?”. He needed more confirmation. Do we do the same thing, yes, we do. God tells us something and we say yes and we wait. God says it again and we say yes and we wait. We take up a I need proof over my proof mentality and fear that we are not hearing correct because we do not like to step out of our comfort zones.

Thirdly then Moses answered and said, “But suppose they will not believe me or listen to my voice; suppose they say, The LORD has not appeared to you”. Then God gave him confirmation through signs. Sometimes God speaks through someone else confirming His plan for us.

And the fourth excuse then Moses said to the LORD, “O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.”

I love God’s answer here: So the LORD said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the LORD? Now therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say”.

So, here God confirms He is God and He will be with you and through the Holy Spirit, He will give you the right words and teach you the right things to say. Just as He did for Peter when thousands of people gave their lives to Jesus. Even then Moses still asked God to send another and it angered God for your calling is not someone else’s calling. What God puts on your heart you cannot delegate. What God entrust on you is for you and you alone. He will be with you, and He will carry you through it. He will give you wisdom and guidance and He will sustain you.

Even the trials and the tribulations that come into your life, even then God will be with you, and He will guide you and protect you.

Just trust Him.

Here is a few key attributes of Moses to ponder on:

Humility: Despite his royal upbringing in Egypt and his status as a chosen prophet, Moses is described as exceptionally humble and meek, often deferring to God's will rather than exalting himself.

Prayer and Intercession: He maintained a highly intimate relationship with God, frequently acting as an urgent intercessor to plead for the salvation and forgiveness of the rebellious Israelites.

Obedience and Faith: Though he initially doubted his own abilities (such as having speech insecurities), he developed a fierce, enduring faith that empowered him to refuse the fleeting pleasures of Egypt.

Visionary Leadership: He successfully managed a chaotic, shifting population for forty years in the wilderness. He eventually mastered the art of delegating tasks and empowering other leaders.

Passionate Stewardship: His deep care for the people he led was paired with a passionate—and sometimes impulsive—sense of justice, famously shown when he broke the stone tablets in response to idol worship.

Have an awesome day, my friend.
