Today's thought - 10 June 2026 (Protect)

 

Your prayer time (closet time) is for me one of the most important parts of my day. It is in this time that I seek my Father and I seek His Word. With my battles most mornings are me laying to my Father’s feet the desires of my heart and every morning the Holy Spirit just opens the Word and answers. I wrote to you yesterday about trust and waiting patiently for the Lord and how our faith grows in our surrender and trust in our Lord and His ways. Never ever compromise on your time in prayer with the Lord and never compromise your time in the Word of God. It is in these encounters that His fire fills me and I will go out boldly into this world and share His gospel. And never ever be ashamed or fear to share Jesus with someone. So let me paraphrase Psalm 27 a little and I pray that the Holy Spirit will bless you with this today. My dear friend, if God is for us, who can be against us.

The Lord is the very light that opens my path and directs my life. Every season He carries me so why would I fear. Even when evil people with dark hearts plan to destroy me, they will slip and fall and even when they come with lies and deceit, I will not fear and even when they seek new ways and new lawyers, I will remain confident.

There is only one thing my heart truly desires and that is to be with my Lord and walk with the Holy Spirit all the days of my life. To see His hand at work and to worship Him in church and every day for that matter.

When trouble comes, He protects me. He is my rock and my shelter and my rest. He will lift me up when my enemies surround me and, in their presence, He prepares a feast for me, and I will sing songs of victory for He is with me.

Even when the world turns its back on me, my Lord and God will never leave me, and I will continue to seek His face. He will never leave me nor forsake me. He is the great I am and I will trust Him through it all.

He will not turn me over to the malicious accusations and lies of my enemies. Instead, He will teach me His ways, and I will be confident for I will see His goodness in this season, and I will continue to serve and wait for my Lord and He will make me strong because I have the power of the Holy Spirit in me.

All things will work out for good for I know the thoughts my God has for me, and they are to give me a future and a hope. My hope remains confident in my Lord Jesus Christ, because with Him I can do all things.

Have an awesome day, my friend. I love you very much.

Today's thought - 09 June 2026 (Patience)

 

Patience is not one of my virtues. If I buy my kids gifts for Christmas, they always get them before the time. Jip, you will get your birthday gift before it is your birthday. Now, we have to take my ex-wife to court to try and force her to take my daughter to a forensic psychiatrist, which by the way was appointed by the court. We have to make a case of “contempt of court” to get her to do what the court ordered. How amazing is this and to top it off she now has a new lawyer, which means she still thinks she is going to get away with this. You see it was never about my daughter, it is all about what she wants, and I can promise you her previous lawyer probably told her she is making a mistake for God told me even her council will turn against her.

Now maybe you can understand a little of my frustration because I am worried about my little girl and she has no idea why one moment she can see her Daddy and the next not.

Now God placed patience on my mind this morning so let’s look into this a bit.

Psalm 27:14 - Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!

Psalm 40:1 - I waited patiently for the LORD; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry.

Psalm 37:7 - Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.

Lamentations 3:25 - The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him.

These four scriptures basically boil down to the fact that there is a reward in patience for patience grows trust and trust grows faith. So, let me paraphrase a bit. Wait patiently and serve patiently the Lord our God and be not afraid nor get upset or frustrated at the works of the wicked for God will listen to your prayers and He is good to those who wait, serve and seek Him.

Ok, now we are getting somewhere. My main verse is Jeremiah 17:7 - Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD.

Blessed are you who trust the Lord and serve Him diligently in patience. This verse goes on and this is what I want you to hear – “For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit (verse 8)”.

So, what does God say. Those who wait patiently and trust in the Lord our God will be blessed, and they will be fruitful in all their doings like a tree near water. They will not fear when trouble comes but instead prosper in all they do and they will never stop to bear fruit.

My dear friend, I know it is hard and I know it can seem impossible at times but keep trusting God and do not give up. Delight in the Lord and rejoice in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 08 June 2026 (Broken)

 

I think about my little girl today, basically all the time if you ask me but she has been more on my mind since I woke and I am annoyed by the arrogance and the lies and just the whole process. If it was up to me, o boy I can tell you there would be a storm and thunder and lightning. I am reminded of John and James in Luke 9:54, “When James and John saw this, they said to Jesus, “Lord, should we call down fire from heaven to burn them up?”. Honestly, I feel like that today, but Jesus did not approve of this nor would He approve of my thoughts.

But we have this promise in Philippians 4, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done”. We can take our case before God and plead with Him. Jesus told the parable of the persistent woman in Luke 18 and He said, “Even he rendered a just decision in the end. So, don’t you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?”

This is very important because when we step into God’s court and we lay our case before Him, He will be just and swift in His time and in His anger, because God says that vengeance is His.

Therefore, my scripture today is Isaiah 54, “No weapon turned against you will succeed”. So, nothing that this world brings against the righteous children of God will succeed. It is by faith that we know this and there are two vital thoughts I wish to leave with you.

One: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1).

Two: He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you (Matthew 17:20).

Now faith is not what we see but what we hope for. In other words what we plead with God in His courts and then by faith we will move this mountain because God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.

My dear friend, ask and you shall receive. If you can believe, all things are possible to Him who believes. Come with me today and let us trust God in all our battles, challenges and troubles. He is a just and amazing God and He will hear from the heavens, and He will come down and rescue us.

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 06 June 2026 (Clay)

 

You know I write this blog every day or at least I try to write it every day and I always follow what the Holy Spirit places on my heart, but I believe to make it real and to share my life and my battles with you may help you. You see I am all but perfect and I make mistakes all the time just like you. Paul writes in Romans 7, “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good”.

He really goes into this matter as we are subject to our sinful nature, and we fall from time to time. Now as I spoke to the Holy Spirit this morning, He said this to me, “He (God) said, “Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?” declares the LORD. “Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, Israel”.

Now, God says that we are in His hands and is He not able to form us as the potter forms the clay into a perfect pot for the very purpose we are designed. Is He not able to change us and form us into the person He saw when He created us. Most certainly He is and the difference between a worldly person and Godly person is that we run to God and not to the world and that is important. When we make mistakes, we are vulnerable to the accusations of the enemy, but we are also under the blood and forgiveness of our Lord Jesus Christ.

This does not mean we can sin all we like and that it is ok, it means that we turn away from the world and towards God as He continues to form us into His design for us. It means we turn from our sins and into obedience. It means that we allow the Holy Spirit to change our hearts and renew our minds. It means that we stop living in the flesh and start living more in the spirit.

My dear friend again I say that we must work towards obedience and the will of God in all that we do, thus striving to bring glory to His name and work to fulfill our purpose and that is to share the Gospel and win the lost at any cost.

I leave you with Joshua 1:7, “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go”.

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 05 June 2026 (Time)

 

My verse comes from Ezekiel 29 which contains a series of prophecies pronouncing God’s judgment on Egypt and its Pharaoh for their supreme arrogance, self-deification, and betrayal of Israel.

From this jumps up my theme for time. You see some of Israel placed their hope in Egypt as this mighty force when God does not want us to place our hope and trust in people and worldly things but in Him alone. Thus, the downfall of Egypt in this passage.

Now, time is one of the things we cannot control or buy or have more of or take back, but we can waste it, lose it, abuse it, hate it, steal it and forget it. We know time has one constant and that is it never stops and only God can control time, yet He exists outside of time.

What are our time stealers? They are very familiar because they are known to all of us. Let me introduce you to some of the main characters in the story. They are shame, guilt, fear, hate, anger, anxiety and bitterness.

Why do they steal time? Well because they have the ability to occupy our thoughts, steal our purpose and destroy our lives. They can stop you from God’s blessings and put you on a path of destruction or depression that will inevitably lead to death. Maybe not physical but most definitely spiritual. It will keep you from the kingdom of heaven and put you in darkness.

In Philippians 4:6-7 we read "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

There are three main things here:

1) Do not be anxious – in other words do not worry about anything and do not allow the enemy a seat at your table (in your life). Jesus gave up His life for ALL sin. Not a specific list, all of them so there is nothing He cannot forgive.

2) By prayer present your requests – meaning go to God in prayer and ask the Lord Jesus for help. Bring it all to Him.

3) Guard your heart - Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. (Proverbs 4:23 NIV). This is vital for what we allow into our hearts dominate our thoughts and eventually our lives. It is either Jesus or nothing. He should be the first in all.

So, what I am trying to get at is that do not waste your time listening to the lies of the enemy. Take a stand and take your troubles and your problems and your sins to the Lord and receive His forgiveness and His peace. Stay away from worldly solutions and the wrong people. Jesus says in John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid”.

So when you leave it all with Him, His peace will come over you and that is what the enemy does not want because that makes you very dangerous to the kingdom of darkness for it allows the power and the fire of the Holy Spirit to flow in you and out of you.

My dear friend, you know Jesus died for you. Do not waste another minute playing into the hands of the enemy. Jesus did not only die for you but in Him you will find complete freedom from all that holds you back. He is the way, the truth and life.

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 04 June 2026 (Fire)

 

No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the LORD (NIV).

I want to share a little of my fight with you, I think it is imperative as I bring two things in perspective. In my fight thus far, I have been accused of many allegations which in my mind was purely out of hatred and I can to this day not tell you why. I have been in court, and it did not turn out good for my ex-wife, then a criminal case was made against me which means I was arrested and placed in jail as I awaited trail. This was thrown out due to the existing judgement in the high court. As we continue to push for a forensic psychiatrist to do her investigation (which was appointed by the high court) it is avoided and ignored by her. Instead of doing this which I also believe is for my little girl’s best, it is merely ignored. Finally, my visit rights are now also stopped by her, so I cannot see my daughter.

Now when you read through this you would think that is good bases to question things and God, yet instead wherever I go I share the gospel (even in jail) and I continue to trust God for He will be glorified in all of this. Now I am going to baffle you for a moment, I think. I stand on God’s promise that no weapon will prosper and that the truth will come out and God will end this in His time and in His will.

I have never had this amazing peace over me and where I find myself, I am not afraid not anxious, yet I am determined to touch as many lives as possible and to win the lost at any cost. I am not trying to be religious nor am I trying to put myself on a pedestal. All I am saying is that the Holy Spirit truly gives us power and the fire that burns in me makes me step in and share the gospel even to guys in jail. The impact is amazing and is that not what Jesus said. He said He came for the lost and He said as the Father sent me, I am sending you.

This brings me to Romans 5, “Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us”.

And this is why I continue to do what I do, for it is not by power nor by might but by the power of the Holy Spirit for the glory or our Lord. It will all come to an end, and I will have my little girl. Vengeance is mine says the Lord so I will continue to pray for my ex-wife so that she will see the errors of her ways and finally be set free.

My dear friend, In all this I have hope and my hope is in the Lord. I pray that in whatever you face and in all the battles you have, God will change it all and make all things work out for good. I love you my friend, but Jesus loves you more than you can ever imagine.

Have an awesome day

Today's thought - 03 June 2026 (Obedience)

 

So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.

My dear friend, I am guided by the Holy Spirit to Romans 8 today and after I was in the street this morning, I understand better. You see Paul writes in Romans 8 that there is no condemnation in Jesus and once we gave our lives to Him, we receive the Holy Spirit who daily guides and councils us and strengthens us. Therefore, we are not bound by our carnal (worldly) self anymore, but we now live by the spirit. The Holy Spirit in us convicts us when we do wrong guides us into doing better.

Now where am I going with this. Simply this – for over a year now I come every week and give food to these guys on the street and then I pray with them and I teach the gospel. This morning as I gave out food one of them gave up work time on a Sunday to go to church, the other guys all have Bibles even if they are old and beaten Bibles. The important thing is, they read them. Now this is all Holy Spirit. I am saying this again, this is all the Holy Spirit and more so am I even more grateful for the responsibility that God placed in my heart to reach out to these guys, for now there is no more condemnation for them but a better life through Jesus Christ and I am referring to the life after this one.

My dear friend, I have said it before, and I am saying it again. Nothing we do for God is ever insignificant or a waste. God can make all things work out for good for those who love Him, and that is my heart for these guys and for you. To love the Lord and to obey His Word and His commands. To walk with the power of the Holy Spirit and boldly live out the gospel of Jesus Christ.

My friend, when I say I love you I mean it in every sense of the word and I pray that the Lord Jesus will open all the doors that you need opened and close all the ones that you do not need. I pray that you will be filled by the Holy Spirit and that in this day you will have victory in all things and that all things will work out for good as God promises in His Word. Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 02 June 2026 (Church)

 

But you have made me as strong as a wild ox. You have anointed me with the finest oil.

Yesterday saw a turning point in my battle for my little girl as God stepped in and changed what was designed to hurt or destroy me. Now I will tell of my full testimony later and you will see how God moved in my battle.

What I want to talk to you about is being rooted in a church family. I have written about this before, but why I think it is so important for me specifically is basically three things.

The first being the ability to worship God with fellow Christians, two will be the work of the Holy Spirit in the service, the worship and the message and finally it is the family. The people that are in my church and my pastors. I if I was not planted in this church and experienced the Holy Spirit plus the Word that is preached every Sunday, I would not have been where I am now.

It is not just going to church, it going to be with my Lord and experience Him in ways you would not have when you are at home or watching the service online. My church and the people that I now have in my life plays a vital role in my spiritual growth and in my resistance to the enemy and his attacks.

In short, did I not get planted and rooted in my church I would have been destroyed by now. I am part of CRC (Christian Revival Church) here in South Africa and you are most welcome to check out our services, but it is strong on my heart that I share this with you because I have seen how important it is and how it builds you in what you have to face daily. I would not have received the anointing that is on me and the power and boldness to share the gospel everywhere I go and believe me when we do what Jesus so clearly told us to do, we grow in our faith, and we get closer to God. God opens doors and He fights for us when the enemy wants to destroy us.

That is why Psalm 92 is so profound today for I experience what it says and believe me when I say, “in many aspects”. Go and read the whole one and let the Holy Spirit open it to you as He will teach you and guide you.

Today I do not have a deep message, nor I am I breaking up scripture, but what I am telling you will change your life and when it feels there is no more left, you will receive power and you will see miracle after miracle just as I saw yesterday.

Jesus is the name that should be on our lips all day. In our ways and in our minds and in our thoughts and in everything we do. For His glory.

I love you my friend and I pray that today God will open doors for you that was shut and strengthen you when you are at your last. Uplift you when you are down and restore that what you have lost. I pray that His grace will overflow in you and that the Holy Spirit will fill you again and that you will find a good church family if you have not yet. To God all the glory and all the praise in Jesus name.

Today's thought - 31 May 2026

 

The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.

Hebrews 4:16 tells us, “Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” This is a good reminder that Jesus calls His people to a life that is beyond their abilities. In our own strength, we cannot give, love or serve others as we should. We need God’s Holy Spirit and empowerment in order to do God’s will. 

We find that empowerment as we lean into the Lord through time in His Word, prayer, fellowship and walking in faith and obedience. The work the Lord has called us to isn’t easy and requires courage.

Nothing in this life is easy and there are many battles we have to face daily as we step into our full purpose and carry the gospel into our world. Here are a few scriptures that will encourage you in your journey:

Numbers 14:9 - Do not rebel against the LORD, and don’t be afraid of the people of the land. They are only helpless prey to us! They have no protection, but the LORD is with us! Don’t be afraid of them!

Joshua 1:9 - This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.

Psalm 9:10 - Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you.

Psalm 20:7 - Some nations boast of their chariots and horses, but we boast in the name of the LORD our God.

Psalm 37:3-5 - Trust in the LORD and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart’s desires. Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you.

Psalm 40:4 - Oh, the joys of those who trust the LORD, who have no confidence in the proud or in those who worship idols.

Psalm 56:3 - But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

Psalm 112:7 - They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the LORD to care for them.

Psalm 143:12 - In your unfailing love, silence all my enemies and destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.

Proverbs 3:5-6 - Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

Isaiah 2:22 - Don’t put your trust in mere humans. They are as frail as breath.
What good are they?

Isaiah 26:4 - Trust in the LORD always, for the LORD GOD is the eternal Rock.

John 14:27 - I am leaving you with a gift - peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.

Romans 8:28 - And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

Hebrews 13:6 - So we can say with confidence, “The LORD is my helper,
so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?

Have an awesome day, my friend. I love you very much.
