I look up to the mountains. This morning, I woke up and I am tired. It felt as if the very life is drained from me. Now looking at the day ahead and then what still needs to happen, I can tell you my motivation was rock bottom. I turned to the Lord, and I just humbled myself and asked Him for help. I cannot do this on my own. 

I do not have the strength and the power to face what lies ahead and above all I am tormented with the battle of my daughter that keeps itself fresh in my subconscious. The Holy Spirit immediately said Psalm 121. As I opened my Bible and the words stared back at me. Where does my help come from? My help is from God who made the heavens and the earth. 

I tell you I was just in awe of how wonderful and loving our God is and how He just moves. I stepped out of the house and into my calling. I spoke life and truth over the guys that I give food to, and the Holy Spirit gave me the words to speak into their lives so that somewhere they will change their lives and find Him. 

My dear friend, do not take God’s promises lightly. Do not be afraid and do not worry about tomorrow. Our God is a God of miracles, and He loves to heal brokenness. Your day is going to be an awesome day, and you will see Him working in ways that will leave you speechless. I trust God with all of me, and I seek Him now more. 

Have an awesome day.

This morning God reminds us that if He had spoken it, it would come to pass. I know we all face tough times, challenges and sometimes hard decisions. Sometimes we face unjust and unfair decisions or actions in our lives. I think we should always remember that satan uses offence as one of his best disguised weapons. 

Offence can bring back old memories or hurt, and it can make us react in a harsh or disrespectful manner. We take offence and we react to it. It is important that you remember that we will be judged in our deeds and the way we judge and forgive. Jesus made this very clear in Matthew 7 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you". 

In the other part of it God makes it clear if He said it, it will be done. In Psalm 21 God says “Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever. His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.”  

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Personally, I think I am still working towards understanding the fear of the Lord and what promises lies in it. Simply put, once we comprehend this there lies wealth, prosperity, health and life in this. I think it all starts by drawing closer to God and stepping into this scripture in Matthew 6 “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you”. 

Then together with the fear of the Lord we will receive understanding in God’s ways and knowledge because it should create in us a desire to spend more time in His Word and in His presence. Now the result is as our Pastor said is “GO”. James wrote faith without works is dead and once we understand salvation and what lies within the fear of God, we will step out of our comfort zone and into our purpose and His promises. 

My dear friend, there lies a great treasure of life in the Holy Fear of the Lord and a life that will take us beyond our wildest expectations. Come with me as we draw nearer to God in holy fear and into our purpose. Do not only believe the gospel but live it out every day for the harvest is great and the labourers are few.

You shall know them by their fruit. Jesus talks about false prophets, but I believe in general all who confess to be Christians and goes to church. Although many will call themselves Christians, their hearts and priorities are clouded by a worldly or dark desires. They lack the fear of the Lord. 

Proverbs 9:10 state "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom". Proverbs have many verses that talks about fear and understanding but it is in our obedience and fear of God that lies good fruit. Psalm 111:10 says “Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom. All who obey his commandments will grow in wisdom.” Job 28:28 says, “The fear of the Lord is true wisdom; to forsake evil is real understanding”. 

The enemy is working to create a concept of Christianity with no fear of God where we continue to do the things we know as wrong, but we justify our acts by finding some or other controversial truth to support our viewpoint when in essence we are wrong. We think ourselves right even if we know we are wrong. 

We “buddy” God and we think we can argue our motives as acceptable when the very Word of God says otherwise. My dear friend, again I urge us, and believe me I am talking to myself, that we put God first above all else and that we respect Him with fear and reverence. As I step into this season of my life, my deepest desire is to do as God command and seek His will above my own. 

I desire a life that will bless other and to work diligently towards my complete purpose. I desire that the works of our hands and our hearts will glorify our Father and show His love and mercy wherever we go so that our testimonies will reach people and change hearts. 

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 05 February 2026

I think we should not take this verse lightly. If I may speak from my own life I tend to find moments when I question people’s behaviour and before I can consider the reasons I end up judging by thinking that is how they are. 

They are just lazy or spineless or even crazy. I look at their behaviour and I would make an assumption on who or what they are. I have no right to do this. In fact every person is a child of God. He made us all and He died for all of us. Yes, their behaviour is questionable but this does not give a right to label them and break into their character. 

I love my kids and a large part of my affliction and questions is based on the battle I am facing with my little girl at the moment. My offence and my hurt creates irritation that I think still lingers from the divorce. God has been working hard in my life this year to release me from past hurt and offence that I have because if we are stuck in this we will never step into the fullness of what God planned for our lives. 

And to be honest as He teaches and guides me through scripture (like today) and books and people I am healed and released from it. And I can see it in my day to day experience and my fears I have for my daughter. In essence as I am releasing, God is releasing and His grace not only overwhelms but abounds in me daily and the peace of Jesus that surpasses all understanding is just that. It truly does. 

So, I guess what the Holy Spirit is saying is simply let it go and live in holy fear for then all God’s promises will become visible in our lives. Have an awesome day, my friend and know that I love you very much.

I just want to continue on Matthew 7 a bit. There is so much here that we should remember and not take lightly. Firstly God is Jehovah Jireh, our provider. As Jesus say here God will surely give good things to those who ask Him. Jesus mentions ask, seek and knock. 

He is saying that we should persevere in prayer and place all areas of our lives under God’s authority. Paul wrote “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” My dear friend I am asking, I am praying that these words will resonate in your heart and that you will boldly step into God’s presence letting go of everything that so worries you and giving it all in prayer you the Lord and He will lift you up and give you peace. 

Have an awesome day.

When reading Matthew 7 this morning there are several things that just jumps off the page, yet I feel we should ponder around this verse a bit. Since we are doing a bit of inner inspection I guess we should start with perception. We know that a contrite and broken heart gets God’s attention and that Jesus said, “Love each other”. 

I want to challenge myself and you today to put a filter of discernment on our thoughts towards people and our challenges. It is by our complete surrender and commitment that we step into God’s presence and His purpose. Do not resent or judge but seek to love and understand. My dear friend, Proverbs 16:24 says "Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body." So come with me today as we try our best to do just that. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 02 February 2026

 

In today’s world people are so focussed on who they are and the positions they hold. How many move into a position of power and abuses the very blessing that is given to them. How many of us accepts Jesus as our saviour and judges other. We gossip and we get angry and we enjoy it when they go through a tough time. 

We love to use the word karma as to say you reap what you so. Yes, that is true, you do reap what you sow and sometimes God uses another person to teach you that you are not exempt from what is to come on the day of judgement. What is important and believe me I struggle with this, is to remember what God has forgiven us for before we say of think something bad about someone we do not like. 

Ultimately God will determine the path a person takes and He is very clear on what happens with the wicked. So, yes we do not trust people for our trust is in God, but we should still pray for them and ask God to help them find their way. So, be kind to that person at work that really gets on your nerve. Jesus gave His life for all even those who reject Him and generalise Him. No matter how difficult it gets, my friend, keep trusting God. 

He is already working and He will give you the desires of your heart. His time is always perfect. 

Have an awesome day.

Moses was called a friend of God and God had an intimate relationship with Moses as he lead the people of Isreal out of Egypt through the desert. We continue on this because holy fear of God is immensely important in our day to day walk. 

I can tell you with all honesty that the enemy is relentless and he will find a place to creep into your life and into your mind and just cause chaos. The battle for your mind is a constant onslaught of satan’s plans to make us fall just as he deceived Adam and Eve initially he continues to bring lies into our minds to pollute our thoughts so we can follow the wrong concepts. 

Holy fear of God and complete obedience to His Word breaks the attacks of the enemy and helps us to resist. The essence of fearing God with reverence is the voice of God, that still small voice that will show us the right path to take. My dear friend, come and let us seek God every step of the way. He will make a path through the storm and shield you from the arrows of the enemy. He is God and all things are possible because He is the God of the impossible.

 Have an awesome day.

We all face times of trouble and days where things just seem out if control. I guess I get most annoyed with myself when I work so hard to walk close to God and then out of the blue I am filled with irritation and frustration. 

I get upset and it is almost as if I lost all that I worked so hard to gain. Once we make a mistake like getting angry the enemy pounces on you like a hungry lion. He reminds me of the fruits of the Spirit and that I am just not good enough and that I am wasting my time fighting this battle. 

What is the one thing we know about satan that stands out - he is the father of lies. In fact he is the inventor of lies since it all started with a lie in the garden of eden and since then he has perfected this attribute. God will always protect us from their power and lies. It is with a broken heart and true repentance that we get God’s attention as we take shelter in Him. 

I am just a man living in a world filled with trials and tribulation. When you are at your lowest and when you are at your highest always seek God with all your heart. Even when you think that your mistakes are beyond repair and you are not worthy of His grace. 

In fact it is then when you are even more deserving of His grace. My dear friend, come with me as we fully surrender to God and ask Him to rescue us from the lies of the enemy. 

Have an awesome day.
