91 Days of Victory – Day 1 (2026/02/28)

 

The Lord has placed it in my heart that we are going to go into ninety-one days of victory over all that is against us and trying to destroy us. I am reminded today that we already have victory through Jesus Christ but that we are going to proclaim it and own it. Psalm 1 is our kickoff verse and here God says that we should not allow wicked people, sinners and mockers to influence us but instead surround us with Godly people that will speak into your life and not against you. God says here that He watches over your path but the ways of the wicked will lead to destruction. Do not fret about the wicked people or devices in your life, God will deal with that instead stand firm on your faith and speak life over yourself and own your inheritance as a child of God. Remember that we worship Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. My friend you are a mighty warrior and victory is in your hands. 

Have an awesome day.

I am not much of a hunter and never really saw the hype in it, yet I am proficient with a rifle, and I would probably make a better sniper than a hunter because the poor animal did nothing wrong (unless for food) but humans do terrible and wicked things. Sin came into this world and took God’s perfect creation and destroyed it. 

From then on man has done more and more terrible things and child trafficking is something that lies deep in my heart, hence the sniper comment. God shows me Israels torment in a foreign land here in Psalm 137, nut in essence reminds me that vengeance is His and Jesus made it clear that we should love those who persecute and hate us, but He also gave us wisdom and courage to stand up for what is right and to allow justice to prevail, but not to take matters in our own hands. 

This has been a struggle in my heart as we continue to battle for my daughter and the arrogance that lies in the way the entire matter was and is handled by the other party. Finding peace and living in forgiveness is not always easy, but the peace that God gives me daily and I say daily because the enemy continues to taunt me, is amazing. 

So, you might find yourself beside the rivers of Babylon today and you might have lost your song, but David writes in Psalm 40 “I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me and heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth - Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear and will trust in the Lord.” 

Have an awesome day, my friend.

So, there is much more to this scripture this morning than I initially thought. I had to go to our business homecell first so that God can remind me of a few things before I could write to you this morning. We all have those moments and yes, I am sure you know exactly which ones I am referring to. I am going through this personal battle and as it continues to be delayed, I am reminded by God in such simplicity but profound beyond my imagination in this scripture to have faith. 

Now if this Word is not timely and very direct, well then, I am at a loss. God writes here that He is going ahead of you and me to prepare the way but not only that. He is also following behind you and me to spare us from the harm of our past and above all His hand of favor is on us. Now, I am in awe again at how God continuously tells us that He is already laying out His plan. Your promise lies in front of you and if you have no vision in this regard God cannot move your mountain. 

So, again I urge you, my friend, that we stand in faith and in trust in God and let us step forward and possess the land. For God says you are well abled and He is preparing the way. So, rise mighty warrior of God and stand into your calling and take every step by faith for the glory of God. Therefore, I remind you to “seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything (meaning everything) you need.” 

Have an awesome day, my friend.

I think this verse comes at a time when we all carry our burdens and the very world around us seems to have gone crazy. Jesus plainly says that you will have difficulty and you will have sorrow, but take heart (be of good cheer), because He has overcome (succeed in dealing with, defeat) this world and its ruler. Jesus clearly says in verse 24 “Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy”. 

Now we know that God works in His time and in His will and we often feel weak and lost and as if we need help, but I tell you this, we have more than help, we have an almighty God with us and Jesus called Him the helper “It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.” The Holy Spirit is the one who gives you guidance, shows you truth and prepares you for what is to come. 

He is the one who stays with you even in your darkest moments and He is the one who prays for you when you just can’t. He is the one we walk with every day, and He is the one who we should desperately seek and work to have a close relationship with. That is why God says, He who is in you is greater than He who is in the world and if God is for you who can be against you. 

My dear friend, I know your battles are tough but God is tougher, I know your mountains are high but God is higher, I know your storms are great but Jesus calms them, I know you have pain but Jesus heals more than pain, He heals the soul. That is why Jesus said, I told you this so that you can have peace. 

My friend I pray that the peace of our Lord will fill you and give you rest and that all your pain, sorrows, storms and mountains will become void in His light. 

Have an awesome day.

In a world of offence

We all live in a world that we know is broken and dark. It has been like that since the fall of Adam and Eve when sin entered. As much as we think we understand how things were then I do not think we will ever fully comprehend what pushed God to flood the entire world. If you look at the world today, we miss that Jesus said before His second coming the world will be as in the days of Noah (Matthew 24:37-39).

So, yes, the world around us is slowly decaying into what it once was, and we see more and more the darkness of man as their sins are exposed by people. Even in our day-to-day lives we are often offended by people and by circumstances. Some of these turn into bitterness that most live with all their lives and end up dying with.

People gossip and people judge. I honestly think you would never understand how it feels to be falsely accused and judged until you stand in a position where people lie and gossip over you. It is one thing if the gossip has any substance but if you are accused falsely and ridiculed out of hatred or pure selfish desire then the picture is a different story.

Joseph’s life portrays a very similar and harsh reality that many face today and if he came out of it with a vengeful heart, he would have destroyed the twelfth tribes of Isreal including Judah, from which Jesus was born.

He was captured by his brothers (people close to him) and sold into slavery. Instead of being bitter and filled with hatred he worked and obeyed his master to the extent that he was promoted to oversee the entire household of Potifar. Potifar’s wife tried to take advantage of him and instead of submitting to the temptation, he fled from it.

He was hen falsely accused of rape and ended up in an Egyptian prison which by all standards was a place you are send to, to die. Instead of being offended and bitter he chose to stay true to God and was finally released and because of his obedience was put in charge of Egypt.

This position offered him the ability to punish those who hurt him so much, yet he chose to forgive and to bless them instead.

Sometimes the very one we place in prison is not the one who offended us, but ourselves. Hatred and bitterness are the very chains we put on ourselves that end up destroying us and keep us from entering heaven. Jesus said it so plainly in Matthew 5 “Your ancestors have also been taught. Love your neighbors and hate the one who hates you. However, I say to you, love your enemy, bless the one who curses you, do something wonderful for the one who hates you, and respond to the very ones who persecute you by praying for them. For that will reveal your identity as children of your heavenly Father. He is kind to all by bringing the sunrise to warm and rainfall to refresh whether a person does what is good or evil. What reward do you deserve if you only love the loveable? Don’t even the tax collectors do that? How are you any different from others if you limit your kindness only to your friends? Don’t even the ungodly do that? Since you are children of a perfect Father in heaven, become perfect like him.”

As hard as it is, it is in essence complete freedom. If you can love and pray for the very one that hates you and seeks your destruction, you not only show and live the very example Jesus taught and lived, but you free your soul from bitterness and unnecessary torment.

I know it is hard but the moment you step into prayer with a broken and repenting heart desperately seeking Jesus and His grace, He will lovingly heal your soul and remove all offence and give you peace that surpasses all understanding.

The only one that will bring back this hurt is you and once you have handed it over and allowed Jesus to replace it with His love and grace and you step into your new heart and new person, this stronghold will be no more. He will release it from you and give you the strength and courage to overcome it all.

Then you will truly be free and you will truly find peace and rest and life in abundance.

Do not allow the lies of the enemy and the hatred of people to determine or alter your identity but remain steadfast in Jesus and who He says you are. He sees your heart and He knows what you are going through, just step into faith and hand it over.

“I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me and heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth - Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear and will trust in the Lord.”

The yoke of sin consumes the world around us. How many of our fellow colleagues or friends are trapped in sin and we can see the devastating effect it has on their lives and their outlook on the world. We have spoken before on the images we as people have. The perceived image as how the world sees us, the projected image as how we want the world to see us and then there is the actual image, and this is the very one that will stand before God on judgement.

 Many will be professing Christians but, in their hearts, they lived a selfish, vindictive and even abusive life and as God said before. Everything will be revealed on that day, and we will basically stand exposed as Adam and Eve was when they ate the forbidden fruit. It is interesting to think that they (Adam and Eve) literally walked in the presence of God and still was deceived by the serpent. How many people today are still deceived by the same serpent living a life that they argue as acceptable to the word, yet it completely contradicts that what Jesus taught. I guess that is why God places this scripture in my heart to tell me not to fear man (afraid you will offend someone) but to fear God. 

So, if we wish to boast then let us boast as Paul did in everything we do we live as followers of Jesus not as knowables (my word for today) of Jesus. To know that God demonstrated unfailing love and brings justice and righteousness to the world. Some will see God’s judgement on their lives here on earth and some will see it on the day Jesus returns. So, do not be afraid to stand for what is right as God puts it in your heart but out of love fight for those around you so that their judgement will not be when it is too late. 

Speak truth and life over other and remind people of the things they do wrong and if you offend someone, well Jesus said if your eye makes you sin, then remove it for it is better to go through life with one eye then to end op in the pit of fire for eternity. 

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 23 February 2026

I wrote to you earlier that God sees the heart of man and knows our ways, thoughts, desires, intentions and everything we do and speak. He keeps pressing it on my heart and this morning I think I am writing to myself again, well I think most mornings I am writing to myself. God is pressing it on my heart that what we do for Him must be from a pure and humble heart seeking to glorify Him and never for our own self or for the place or position or attention we might receive. 

That is why it is so important to me that I share what the Holy Spirit puts in my heart more than my own ideas or thoughts. I am humble before an amazing and wonderful God who continues to do more in my life than what I think I deserve. To have you as my friend or family is more than a gift but a privilege and to be able to share God’s Word with you is more than a gift but something I value a lot and are honestly so grateful to be able to do. 

Therefore, I urge you and myself to be obedient to God even when it hurts and mostly without seeking a benefit. Sometimes it is to be kind to a bad person or forgiving someone you still hold a grudge against or just accepting someone with their flaws and faults regardless of who or what they are. Jesus did not come for the great and wonderful leaders of the church, He came for the broken and hurt and lost and we should have the same mindset even if they are the very ones who hurt us. 

So, beware of hypocrisy and stand firm on the Word of God for it is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. I pray that the Lord will keep you, guide you and bless you in everything you do today. 

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 22 February 2026

 

I want to remind you today that we can truly move mountains in faith. Paul writes in Hebrews 11 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Faith provides the substance (Greek: hupostasis - realism, essence, or assurance) to things that are currently only hoped for. It acts as the evidence (or proof) for things that are not visible in the natural world. Therefore, the emphasis lies in trust and trust in what we ask and pray for. 

That is why Jesus simply said it is due to your lack (firmly relying on or trust) that they could not cast out the demon. It is as Jesus explained in Mark 11 “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” It is in this childlike faith that we can possess the mountain and move the mountain. The enemy as we know walks around like a roaring lion ready to devour everything. He literally walks around looking and seeking ways to destroy your faith. 

When there is but a mere crack in your defence, he will jump on it and take whatever he can. So, do not give him the opportunity but remind him that his place is under your feat as you are given the authority to trample snakes and scorpions. Jesus requires a mustard seed faith from us and in that all He needs is your trust and hope and faith in what He is doing and going to do. See it, believe it and let Him move your mountains. I pray that the Holy Spirit will fill you by “giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases God” and to stand firm in your faith. 

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 21 February 2026

 

I woke up this morning, and my mind is running with questions and ideas and I guess answers. I have written to you a few times about the fear of the Lord and the reverence with which we should approach Him. I know there will always be that moment of “why” and “how” that slips into our minds and we are confronted with doubts. 

Maybe doubts in the systems or people or ourselves or even in God. I guess frustration and irritation sets in and we are easily offended or annoyed. On the one side I am reading Ezekiel 24 where Tyre is destroyed due to their pride and on the other hand God reminds me in Proverbs 5 that He sees and knows everything we do and think. “God sees everything you do and His eyes are wide open as He observes every single habit you have”. 

I think what He wants me to see is that pride is often the downfall of man and in our pride, we think God does not see our thoughts an even our actions derived by our thoughts. Wickedness robs us of our destiny and honestly, I do not want to miss the mark and not finish the race. Yes, we will fall, fail, lose, win, lose, suffer, defeat, lose, win, cry out, be confused, want to quit, try again, fail again, question… and so on it will go. In the end Paul writes in 2 Timothy 4 “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. 

And now the prize awaits me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.” So, in the end the race (journey) will be hard and at times you would want to give up, but please, my dear friend. Please keep fighting. 

Have an awesome day.

I think you all know this scripture, and it is important that I just share something with you. I know we have questions and as I wrote yesterday, we often do not understand why things happen or do not happen and why God seems distant at times. I think what I would want to emphasize is written here in Psalm 37:34 “Wait on the Lord, and keep His way, And He shall exalt you to inherit the land”. 

I wrote to you about the promise land how we go through the wilderness to reach it. Once there we are faced with fortified cities and giants. Paul writes that when he was a child, he saw things as a child, but once he grew up (matured in faith), he saw it differently. As we grow in our faith we also grow in our relationship with God and in drawing nearer to Him, He reveals His plans and our future to us. 

And yes, we see but a faint reflection of what is really happening, and we have a worldly perspective many times where we miss the picture. And our understanding is far from complete but one day it will all make sense and we will see and understand all. The faint picture will become a canvas of understanding and revelation above all else. It is vital that you have a vision and dream big. God is bigger than your imagination so dream big dreams. Have a massive vision for God is the God of the impossible. 

And remember having the dream is not getting the dream, we need to get of our rear happy place and take a step of faith in the direction of our vision. Then we trust God and in due time He will exalt you and you will inherit the land He promised. 

Have an awesome day, my friend, and remember James 2:26 “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”
