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.

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.

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.

Psalm 91:1

 

Today's thought - 30 May 2026

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

Where do you find peace when all things seem to fall apart? When the noise of all the troubles becomes too loud to bear?

Today I was thinking of Jesus when He said in Matthew 11:28, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest”.

I keep coming back to this battle for my daughter and the emotional stress that comes with it. Honestly, I would never have been able to get this far nor keep standing if it was not for our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit that carries me each day as my battles increase and my burden some days seem impossible to carry. In this scripture Jesus gives us an offer of peace, relief, and a promise that you do not have to carry your emotional, spiritual, or physical burdens entirely on your own. God is for you, therefore nothing can be against you.

It has been a long day and some days I am exhausted emotionally and spiritually as I continue my battle. This morning I decided to take food to the guys on the street as the Holy Spirit placed it on my heart after a very hectic week. I felt Him telling me to lead them into the Lord’s prayer for salvation and I did. I guess the enemy did not like the idea, but every fight I fight for my Lord is worth it and I will continue to do so.

I asked them this question: “If you die today or tomorrow where are you going to? Heaven of hell?”. I explained to these guys that life is very short and anyone of us can die any minute and in this life there is nothing more important that Jesus Christ. So, yes regardless of all the things I face and go through I live in the shelter of our Lord and I find my rest in Him.

Hope you had a great day, my friend. I love you very much.

91 Days of Victory – Day 91 (2026/05/29)

Among all this people were seven hundred select men who were left-handed; every one could sling a stone at a hair’s breadth and not miss (Judges 20:16).

This morning I want to tell you there is power in you. Power that is unimaginable and beyond our own thinking. Power that can move mountains, change a diagnosis, open doors, heal people, raise the dead, break addiction, break strongholds, alter verdicts and break barriers. There is power in you that will calm a storm, make a path in the wilderness, bring forth springs in a desert and make dead things come to life.

We are reading Psalm 91 on our last day of 91 days of victory and if you have allowed the Holy Spirit to open the scriptures and fill you with His presence you would have already seen victory, but if you jumped in half way or later it does not mean the 91 days end today, it merely means that we are now entering into understanding our walk with the Holy Spirit and the power that is in us.

My dear friend, the Holy Spirit picked verse 13 and I am adding Judges 20:16 to this as He had revealed to me in our morning homecell. Firstly, God says that you will trample on lions and cobras and crush fierce serpents and lions. Now I want to take you to Ephesians 6, “For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places”.

Now we know that our battle is against the forces of hell and their leader satan. This morning I am reminding you of your power and of your authority through the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ and through the Holy Spirit. You are a warrior in every part of the word. Put on the armour of God and step into today with me regardless of what we face because He who is in us is greater than all the powers of darkness. You are like one of those men in Judges that can sling a stone and not miss. Your stone is in fact a sword, the Word of God. If I can only teach you this one thing then nothing will ever get you down. The Word of God is a living breathing book that empowers you and fills you with courage and strength and wisdom and understanding. If you fill your spirit man/woman with the Word of God each day you will most surely move mountains and change the outcome of all attacks and every bad situation.

My dear friend, satan lost the fight and he has no power over you. The blood of Jesus sets you free and sets you above. You will trample on the enemy even in his fiercest attack and you will rise victorious by the blood and the power of the Holy Spirit.

I love you my friend, you are not alone. You have unlimited power in you and if you have not been baptised in the Holy Spirit then just ask Him and He will or say after me. Lord Jesus, I have given my life to you, and I have accepted you as my saviour, now please baptise me in the Holy Spirit and awaken in me your gift of tongues so I can bring glory to my Abba Father. I thank you for this amazing gift in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

My dear friend you are going to have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 90 (2026/05/28)

 

Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.

The word brevity has two primary applications, both stemming from the Latin word brevis meaning "brief". In other words, the writer of this Psalm wants us to comprehend the fact that life is short, and we should not waste it but grow in it. He specifically mentions wisdom.

Now when we look at wisdom I have written to you about it previously, but I would like to emphasise Proverbs 9:10, “Fear of the LORD is the foundation of wisdom”. Now we know this fear is not hiding under your bed fear, it is the reverent fear of God out of respect.

Growing in wisdom means growing in knowledge of God and directly growing in respect for God. So, what I am trying to say is that the more time we spend with God, the more we get to know Him, the more we grow in wisdom and the more we grow in respect (fear) of the Lord.

Out of this stream two very important facts and I want to remind you again of them. 1) Gaining knowledge of God means reading His Word. This is the manual into understanding and knowing God more intimately and 2) Your relationship with the Holy Spirit which is vital to your growth in faith and in power. Remember when the Holy Spirit came upon the apostles in Acts, they received power which in turn made them bold to go into the world and preach the gospel, but it also gave them power that flows through them into the people around them.

An important example is in the book of Acts when the man asked them (Peter and John) for alms, Peter looked at him intently and famously said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk."

Now in this moment Peter grabbed the man by his hand and pulled him up and he was healed. Now Peter knew that Jesus said we would do greater things than what Jesus did when the Holy Spirit is in us. He stepped into faith with the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit and this man was healed.

Now the same power that raised Jesus from the dead resides in us, thus the same power that healed this man is in us and the same power is what we receive when the Holy Spirit enters us. This power is not an on and off switch that we have which we can use as we please. This power comes from a diligent and close walk with the Holy Spirit knowing Him, hearing Him and acting on His guidance. This comes from spending time in God’s Word, prioritising Him and putting Him first.

My dear friend, life is short so do not waste it away on worldly things and fears but give your time to God and the things of heaven and you will live a life of abundance even when life turns against you for in you is unlimited power, you just need to apply it correct and the Word of God is the first and most important step.

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