91 Days of Victory – Day 70 (2026/05/08)


But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, “God is great!” This morning we spoke about God’s promises and how He makes a promise to us but in the process, we are tested for our obedience and our faith. In essence God needs to see if we take this promise serious and do we commit to it even when our world collapses and we face many trials and problems. Reading Psalm 70, and I am going to use myself as reference I can see how God just reconfirms His promise in me. Now we know I am in battle for my daughter. I have been falsely accused just as I was when I faced divorce. This time only with regard to my little girl in a very bad way. If you love your children and all that you do is to protect them and work (even at you own demise) to see them more, and then someone comes and accuse you of hurting them, well I can tell you it is probably the worst thing any person can accuse a father of or do to someone, especially falsely for their own selfish benefit. I have stepped into what God has been calling me to do and when the enemy tries to destroy me, I turn to God and to the people that disciple me seeking guidance and help. This is against the plan of the enemy but exactly what God teaches. This is His will so that I stay the course and seek His guidance and His help through His Word and through people that I walk closely with. This helps me with accountability but also reinforces my faith and the fire that burns in me. Yes, when the world collapses around me I turn to God and in His promises, He stated a few things this morning that just reconfirms His promise. 1.) May those who try to kill me be humiliated and put to shame. 2.) May those who take delight in my trouble be turned back in disgrace (verse 2). 3.) Let them be horrified by their shame, for they said, “Aha! We’ve got him now!” (verse 3) 4.) And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The enemy you see today you will not see again. My dear friend, what I need you to take from this and make it your own is this. The enemy will not get to you, he will not bring you down and he will be removed from your life. Stand firm on God’s Word reading it and meditating on it day and night. Speak to the Holy Spirit and tell Him what you face and ask Him for wisdom, guidance and deliverance from it. Trust God at all times and trust the process, for you will see God’s salvation in your life and live, my friend, for the Kingdom of God and seek the Holy Spirit at all times. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 69 (2026/05/07)

 

O God, you know how foolish I am; my sins cannot be hidden from you. Psalm 69 is an amazing Psalm and as I read through it, I see so much of what I battle with, and I can relate with David. I want to pause at verse 5 for a moment today and just remind you about grace. I will take myself as I explain and if it rings a bell well, then grace will abound. Isn’t it interesting that many people when confronted or proved wrong in an argument turn to swearing and insults and few will have the guts to admit they are wrong and apologise. Now, when I confronted a fellow driver on the road because he skipped a red robot and drove in right in front of me and when I pressed on the horn, he reacted. His argument is that there are two lanes thus it justifies the wrong and going over a red light is acceptable. Now how many times do we try to justify sin when we know we are wrong. We would look for a loophole or seek a different opinion so that just maybe somewhere someone would have empathy with our situation. In other words, we try to tell the Bible that the Bible might not be correct in this case the writer (The Holy Spirit) meant it differently when in fact He is the one condemning us of our mistake. Again, why argue it instead of accepting it as wrong and apologising to God and the Holy Spirit and seek forgiveness from the Lord and most importantly work to not fall in the same trap again. I have nothing against standing up for what is right and taking on someone that is wrong, as long as we do it respectfully and with Biblical authority. I appreciate correction and criteria as long as it is to better me and to show me my short cummings. It is imperative that we do not react in the same manner the offended person does and even if it is a waste of good air, it will leave a seed and maybe someday carry fruit. We should never underestimate Holy Spirit guidance in a stern word to redirect someone but on many occasions it may seem trivial. I have written to you about this before and I am repeating myself but in essence I need us (me included) to not take the guidance, counselling and conviction of the Holy Spirit lightly but to embrace it and seek more of Him in our journey ahead. That is why I pray boldly; “But I keep praying to you, LORD, hoping this time you will show me favor. In your unfailing love, O God, answer my prayer with your sure salvation. Rescue me from the mud; don’t let me sink any deeper! Save me from those who hate me, and pull me from these deep waters. Don’t let the floods overwhelm me, or the deep waters swallow me, or the pit of death devour me”. Have an awesome day, my friend. It will all work out for good, just keep trusting the Lord.

91 Days of Victory – Day 68 (2026/05/06)

 


But let the godly rejoice. Let them be glad in God’s presence. Let them be filled with joy. Rejoice is the centre of this verse in Psalm 68. Have you ever had a day when you woke up you were already overwhelmed at what lies ahead and knowing the hours available to you and the schedule that lies ahead it all seems impossible. You are frustrated with work, traffic, laundry, your finances and at a point it all seems to bundle together and hit you all at the same time. You are overwhelmed and frustrated and it feels as if this also is all at once. My dear friend, you are not alone. I have many of these days and honestly, I wish the answer was a simple one or even a five-point plan to financial freedom. You know like those guys on YouTube that sells you the idea that if you follow these steps, you will be a millionaire. And then there are steps to perfect health and complete peace and mental stability. I am sorry but my wires are never in line, nor do they go through a day without a few sparks and near shutdown. Coffee is not the answer, drugs and alcohol is even further away from the answer and jumping is going to cause even more problems because I will probably just break a leg and then I am disabled. So, NO! Bad idea(s). So, where is the answer? Will you believe me when I say – Jesus Christ. Let me give it some personal context. Now we all know the scripture – “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour”. Plus, we all know this one – “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy”. Now would you believe me if I tell you that the strategy of the enemy, although cunning, has not changed in seven thousand years. Here is food for thought; the minute you were born a familiar spirit was allocated to you to get to know you. Now think about that for a minute, he knows what makes you angry, upset, hurts you, overwhelms you, frustrates you, bothers you, makes you fall, your weaknesses, your needs, your faults, your past for that matter and what makes you happy. Now with that in mind why would he wait for the right moment when he can start the plan days before you get to the point of giving up. So, yes, his plans are the same always, he just tries a different (and most times the same) angle. Then I guess we all know this scripture – “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you”. So, how do we do that, the whole resist and flee part. Well, we have an example in the Bible, and we find it in Matthew 4 where Jesus was tempted by satan. Jesus simply said - “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Deuteronomy 8:3). How do we do that, well the answer lies in our relationship with the Holy Spirit. Yes, we can get angry and overwhelmed and complain and talk to people about this and it will probably make it worse. The moment you realise this is an attack on you, then and immediately turn to the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, you will find satan does not like that. I simply say – “Holy Spirit please help” and then I explain myself even though I know the Holy Spirit already knows all of my issues but it helps so that I finally get to this point (and yes we all know this one) – “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus”. And then His peace flows over me, and I get things done in the half of the time and all things work out for good. I testify to this not once, but many times. So, trust me on this and try it, you are not destined to fail but to be victorious in Jesus Christ. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 67 (2026/05/05)

 


May God be merciful and bless us. May his face smile with favor on us. I think the hardest thing for a parent is to lose a child and equal to that is to be falsely accused with a motive to destroy. Going through a divorce is probably one of the hardest things I had to deal with. In my first marriage I was the one who cheated and then to try and reconcile and “fix” your marriage without God is like jumping out of a plane without a parachute. Obviously when you marry again the pain from that divorce is ever present in your mind and believe me with true remorse from your previous mistakes you will do anything to make it work even to the extent of losing yourself and fighting to be better even when that seems not enough. I had to go through a second divorce and this time I did everything in my power (note in my power) to make it work, but an abusive relationship is a ship heading for the rocks. Abuse can be verbal and physical and as much as I tried to live past it and forgive and carry on it just got worse. Finally, I gave up and walked out. I did anything in my power to see my little girl as much as I could and all I ever asked was to see her enough until I was attacked with probably the most devastating law suite ever. It is one thing to be accused of something you did wrong, but way different when you must fight a lie. Why? I have no idea. The battle continues and as the weeks turn into months it seems to linger on, and nobody is thinking of that little girl as I fight on my knees so that God can make this come to pass. One thing I have learned in the last couple of months is to take my battles to the Holy Spirit, to trust His voice and His guidance and to trust in God’s process. It may be hard and even impossible at times, but I see His grace every time. My dear friend, that is why the Holy Spirit wants you to read these verses in Psalm 67, “Then the earth will yield its harvests, and God, our God, will richly bless us. Yes, God will bless us, and people all over the world will fear him”. It is imperative that you remember that we will face many trials and temptations, but as we walk our journey with the Holy Spirit seeking Him, listening to Him and many times asking for forgiveness, God will bless us (richly) and in our victories the world will see God and He will be glorified and people will turn back to Him. Never let your battles blur your faith for in our faith God will move. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 66 (2026/05/04)

 


Everything on earth will worship you; they will sing your praises, shouting your name in glorious songs. We are reading Psalm 66 today and this verse reminds me of Philippians 2 where Paul writes, “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father”. We must be aware of the fact that Jesus will return soon, and it is so important that we are ready for His return. My friend, we should not live for today or tomorrow, but instead we should have an eternal mindset living now for eternity. You should be in a place where you know without a doubt that if you die tomorrow or Jesus returns tomorrow, you will be in heaven. There should be no doubt in you about this and if so I earnestly plead with you that you ask the Lord to cleanse you or whatever keeps you from receiving salvation and that you ask Him to be your Lord and God and that you give your life to Him and let Him free your mind from doubt and that the Holy Spirit fills you with His peace. It is imperative that you let go of all that is in the past and look ahead with me (expectantly) at what lies ahead. God will hear your prayer and see your heart, and you will be set free and your name will be written in the book of life. Jesus is the only way, and He already took it all to the cross for by His stripes we are healed. My verse for us today is verse 19 and 20. Read it and meditate on it all day and let the Holy Spirit open it up and make it part of you. Always know this – “But God did listen! He paid attention to my prayer. Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer or withdraw his unfailing love from me”. He will step in and He will move your mountains, and He will save you and He will redeem you and He will set things right and He will be your God, your saviour and your help in times of trouble. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 65 (2026/05/03)

 


You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds, O God our savior. You are the hope of everyone on earth, even those who sail on distant seas. Prosperity is always this evil word that church people fear because the world makes us think that money is the root of all evil when in fact, we read in 1 Timothy 6:10 that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Another important aspect is that the Kingdom of heaven is not a distant idea but instead the minute you give your life to Jesus you are already in the kingdom of heaven, and this world is not your place anymore. You are now a tourist travelling through life in the kingdom of heaven with one true purpose and that is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In other words, you become a do-er and not a bystander. That is why the scripture say in Matthew 6, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you”. When you give your life to Jesus you become a new creation and the Holy Spirit then dwells within you and all that you give Him will become His. Most important is that we should have an intimate, day-to-day relationship with the Holy Spirit as He becomes your best friend and the one you share everything with. Even more so is the time you spend with Him in your prayer closet (room) of great importance and value. It is here where you seek and where you build your relationship with the Holy Spirit. It is here where we grow in our faith and we equip ourselves with the Word of God for we can not live by bread alone but by every Word that God speaks through the Bible. When you do this, you will be contempt and you will find true prosperity. Now, God did not say money is bad, He said the love of money (or material things) is bad. Having lots of money or possessions is not bad in fact God wants you to have “all things”. It is what we do with money or possessions that is important. When we live in a close and intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit (seeking Him above all else) we will have all we need. This brings me to verse 11 and 12 of Psalm 65, “You crown the year with a bountiful harvest; even the hard pathways overflow with abundance. The grasslands of the wilderness become a lush pasture, and the hillsides blossom with joy”.  This is what God wants for your life and that is to bear fruit. When we steward what God blesses us with for His glory, we will have more than we can think or dream of. My dear friend, I pray that the Holy Spirit will guide you into a more and deeper relationship with Him and that you will prosper in all things. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 64 (2026/05/02)

 


But God himself will shoot them with his arrows, suddenly striking them down. This morning I am desperate for my Lord as I continue my battle for my little girl. Some days it feels as if I am stuck in a box as I struggle with the process. As I read Psalm 64 it is almost as if the Holy Spirit shows me the wickedness of what happened and is happening. In verse 5 David writes, “They encourage each other to do evil and plan how to set their traps in secret. “Who will ever notice?” they ask”. And to be honest I think this is exactly what happened. This terrible plan was set in motion with the very idea that no one will notice as a trap is set for me to lose my daughter. Instead, God intervened and opened a door that I can only say is by His grace and His work. When I needed funds to battle this court case God send someone to help me and every day, I am still in awe of how it all fell into place. Yes, this process is exhausting and really gets to me some days. In verse 6 David writes, “As they plot their crimes, they say, “We have devised the perfect plan!” Yes, the human heart and mind are cunning”. This is so true in my situation. Yes, she must have thought the plan is perfect for she planned it for months. When the first attempt failed, she went in for a more devious and extreme one. It is so true that the human heart and mind can be cunning. We know that it is the ideas of the enemy but in the end, people make the choice. Days when I struggle with the battle God gives me answers like what He says here in verse 7 and 8, “But God himself will shoot them with his arrows, suddenly striking them down. Their own tongues will ruin them, and all who see them will shake their heads in scorn”. My dear friend, Jesus said that we will have tribulation on earth and we will face many trials for Him. When we chose to follow Jesus and we take up our cross, the war starts. As I battle through this day by day, I know that no weapon formed against us will prosper and the thoughts God has for us is thoughts of peace so we will have a hope and a future. That is why I know God will give me victory and, in the end, people will rejoice in the Lord knowing that He is my shelter and they will praise Him for what He has done. Have an awesome day, my friend, remember this and meditate on this all day – “What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?”.

91 Days of Victory – Day 63 (2026/05/01)

 


I have to quote this scripture again, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). As I am reading Psalm 63 today and I think about the challenges I face, and you know when we face battles we tend to think about our past and the mistakes, we made. Those forgotten and those that still haunts us today. I have made many mistakes and I still do. Paul writes that no one is good not even one and Jesus also said that no one is good, but we are made right by the sacrifice Jesus made for us. We can never defeat sin, so Jesus did it for us. Therefore, be cheerful for Jesus has already overcome the world. Now in verse 8 David writes, “I cling to you; your strong right hand holds me securely”. If I may take my kids as an example. When they were little and my daughter still is, they would run to you when they are afraid or hurt and they would cling to you, knowing that you will do something about their fear or their hurt. They instinctively seek out their parents for help when they have to deal with something that is too much for them at that age. Now that instinct is supported by love and authority, because you love your kids and instinctively you are wired to protect them. Now I am getting to something, stay with me. Jesus said in Matthew 7, “How much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him”. How much more does your Father know what you need, so if He created us to instinctively protect our children and they instinctively run to us when in danger or in need, then when David says I cling to the Father (like a child for we are His children) then He will protect us by His strong right hand (His power and authority) and then all things will work out for good because the reason we cling to Him is because we love Him and when we delight in Him, He will make it all come to pass. In other words when we seek Him (cling) above all else everything else will be added (given or receive). So, my dear friend, come with me today as we cling to the Father and be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 62 (2026/04/30)

 


My victory and honour come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me. Today I want to remind you that seeking God and placing Him first in your life should always be a priority. Why do we fail and why do we fall, because for a moment we lose sight of that. The very fear of God, the respect we should have for Him becomes a distant thought and we step into the trap before us. The only way the enemy will not be able to get to you is when God is your refuge. The very rock you stand on. How do we accomplish this? We must consistently seek God above all else and we should seek to obey His commands and walk the path set before us. Why are we attacked, because we become a thorn in the side of the enemy and he does not like it. When we align ourselves with the Word and we follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the enemy will come with every cunning trick in the book, and he will throw at you anything that he can get. James writes in chapter 4 – “Resist the devil and he will flee from you”. True resistance is impossible without first surrendering to God's will and authority. "Resist" comes from the Greek word anthistemi, meaning to "stand against" or oppose, implying an active, aggressive stand rather than a passive one. When a believer stands firm in faith and acts on God’s authority, the devil will "flee" - meaning to run away or retreat. Resistance involves using Scripture and faith to fight against the devil’s lies and temptations, similar to what Jesus did in the wilderness. That brings me back to Psalm 62 verse 12, “Surely you repay all people according to what they have done”. It simply states that God is both loving and just and it reminds us to trust in His judgements and not in man or man’s wealth. That is why I say as for me and my house, we will follow God. My friend, truly seek God and let Him be your refuge and your rock. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 61 (2026/04/29)


From the ends of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety, for you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me. Let me live forever in your sanctuary, safe beneath the shelter of your wings! (Psalm 61:2-4). Wherever you find yourself today, God is aware of your challenges and the obstacles you face. I may be good at falling down and doing the wrong thing, making mistakes, taking the wrong direction and listening to the wrong voice, but God is good at never giving up and never leaving you. He is good at forgiveness, and He is good at washing away our hurt and sorrow. He is good at love and His love is unconditional. He is good at understanding and listening and He is really good at changing circumstances and creating a way out when you face a dilemma. He is good and He is good all the time. He loves me as I am and even when I can’t He still loves me as I am. So, I will stand up each day no matter what comes my way or what I have to face and even when I am overwhelmed, I will remain standing for He is my rock and my refuge where I seek help and my answers. He is the place of safety where nothing and no one can remove me. I am safe in His hands and under His wings. I am more because He is my God and even when I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will walk with confidence and without fear. I may see thousands fall beside me and thousands more before me, yet I will not be afraid nor will I give up. I may fail today but with Him all things are possible. I may struggle today but His plans for me is of hope and a future. I may be under attack, but the swords of my enemy will pierce their own heart. I may seem poor but the meek shall inherit the earth. I may seem broken, but Jesus came for the broken and hurt. I may be a little unstable but with Him I am strong and powerful, and I will be cheerful all day for He already overcome this world. I may lose my life for Him, but I gain heaven. Have an awesome day, my friend.
