Today's thought - 19 February 2026

I took this scripture from the Passion translation which sometimes just has an awesome way to bring life into the Word. Read it, maybe read it again. The Bible says in Psalm 139 “How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!” 

I know your challenges are bigger than what I can understand and that you battle with them daily. You may think that God is not listening or He is not interested in your problems. You condemn yourself thinking that maybe you are not that important and that your life is not worth saving. You may even consider that there is no hope and that you are worthless. Sometimes in your car or wherever you find yourself alone you break into pieces and you are angry. You feel your questions seem to have no answers and above all those close to you feels so far. 

You begin to question. Is this season or this wilderness ever going to stop. Did God abandon me. And you begin to stand in agreement that just maybe you are not good enough or loved enough or even important enough and that the words you read are for other people. My friend, this morning the God who gave His only Son for you so that your past, your mistakes, you faults and your hurt can be removed, is calling you by your name. He is saying to you that His love is deeper and more far reaching than we can comprehend. 

Endless and beyond measurement that surpasses our own understanding. This morning, I pray that this amazing and extravagant love will pour into you and overflow in you with the fullness of God. So, that the peace of our Lord Jesus will remove all fear, all pain, all worry, all guilt, all lies, all mistakes and all that burdens you. 

As you seek more of our Lord, I pray that He will reveal to you the plans He has for you and that you will be reminded that this life is just a moment. It is the life after this that we so desire and even if it means going through unthinkable pain, that you will remain strong and courageous seeking Him above all else. I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. 

Have an awesome day.

I am a little in awe this morning as God just opens His thoughts. He says that we should not faint at our tribulation but instead with boldness and confidence step into our purpose for the Holy Spirit will strengthen our inner man (spirit) and fill us with His fullness for He is about to do abundantly, exceedingly above all we can think or ask. 

My dear friend, I am just in awe of the wonderful and magnificent God we worship and how wonderful and vast His mercy and grace are. Truly His grace is enough, and He will open for us the way before us as we continue to step into faith, waiting patiently on the Lord as He will move our mountains and restore that which is taken from us and what we have lost. 

I speak life over you today and life in abundance by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. I speak strength and love and fullness of God over you so that your dry lands will spring forth with steams of life and that there will be a path through your wilderness. I pray that God will anoint you with new oil so that your cup will run over and that goodness and mercy will be with you every step of the way. I pray that you will not hear the lies of the enemy but instead stand firm and grounded on the Word of God. 

Have an awesome day.

Balance. The Lord takes me back to Psalm 127 today with the emphasis on work life balance. We have a massive project that lies before us and the time frame that we must complete it is challenging to the extent that I do not think we have enough time for the work and the complexity of it. So, as per my human self, I will grind it and put everything else aside and focus on making it work. 

God wants me to take a different approach and trust His guidance and help throughout the process not neglecting what He wants me to do but to remain obedient and continue to seek Him diligently. In other words, God want me to trust Him completely in all my challenges as He takes me through my wilderness into my promised land. 

My dear friend, to live a balanced life may seem a bit difficult at times but when we put God in the center of everything, we will realize that, that balance is more rewarding than the time, effort and stress. That is why Jesus said come to me all who are tired and heavily burdened and I will give you rest. 

Just as the Israelites needed to step into faith and possess that which God has given them regardless of the giants and the mountains in the land. In the same way we must take on our mountains and possess the land God has already prepared for us. 

Have an awesome day, my friend.

The people could not enter God’s rest because of their unbelieve. When the scouts returned from spying the promised land, they were afraid of the inhabitants and chose not to trust God but instead fear overwhelmed them. They looked at what lies ahead from a worldly perspective and ended up in the wilderness. 

Hebrews warns us against this type of unbelieve and that many times we stand before our promise and fear, or doubt keeps us from it. Sometimes we truly need to get out of the boat and into the stormy ocean before us. Why did Peter start to sink? He looked away from Jesus and saw the waves and the wind and fear entered. 

From a bold step out into the ocean to a scream for help when he began to sink. This was a man that knew the ocean and Jesus, yet he allowed fear to sink him. The Israelites had God’s promise of a promise land. They walked through the sea on dry land and watched their enemy destroyed and yet they too were overwhelmed by fear when they stood at the very gateway to a new life. 

My dear friend, this morning God reminds me that there is nothing He can’t do and there is no battle He cannot overcome. The important thing is that we should always trust Him no matter the size of the giant or the power of the waves in our storms. He is for you so who can be against you. 

Have an awesome day.

Every one of us has that moment when we must choose between God and the world. Just as Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego stood before the throne of Nebuchadnezzar and were confronted with the law to bow down before his gods and his statue and worship him. They refused and it is interesting that he had his people increase the temperature of the furnace seven times more than what the norm was to such an extent that it burned the people that pushed Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego into the furnace. 

The Bible says, “the flame of the fire slew those men”. Slew meaning to kill, murder, destroy, or put to death violently. So, the image I have this morning is simply that amid our battles even those that is intended to destroy us, God is with us. The Bible says that Nebuchadnezzar said he saw four men walking around in the furnace and one looked like the Son of God. This is so important to know today, and I say this with emphasis that God said He will never (never meaning never) leave us nor forsake us. 

So, while you are walking in your wilderness or your desert or your furnace, Jesus is always there. Always present, always looking out for you and always listening. I am in my wilderness, but just as the Israelites had to go through the wilderness and prepare for the promise land so do, we sometimes need to go through certain trails and challenges to reach full maturity and to step into our promise. 

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 14 February 2026

This morning God reminds me again that it is with reverence and Godly fear that we should serve Him. Notice that reverence and godly fear is separated in this verse. Reverence is the dictionary means “deep respect for someone or something”. Holy fear (or the fear of the Lord) is a profound reverence, awe, and adoration for God based on His holiness, power, and love, rather than terror of punishment. 

It drives obedience, intimacy, and a desire to please Him, acting as a respectful "awe" that draws believers closer to the Creator. And then finally Paul says that our God is a consuming fire stating that we should approach God with respect and obedience and also that He is a cleansing fire that will purify us and heal us from all evil. 

Our inheritance is far greater than what this world has to offer and our God is the one and only creator of heaven and earth. In Him and Him alone lies our salvation and in Him will we find unlimited strength and grace. 

My dear friend, let us worship God with renewed awe and holy fear and give Him all the praise as we continue to commit our lives for His glory. Do not give up but continue to stand strong and courageous for God knows our sorrows and what we need. He is already working behind the scenes to give us our hearts desires. 

Just have faith for we walk by faith not by sight. 

Have an awesome day.

This Psalm starts with “The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear”. This is so for me today as I question myself and who I am. We all stare at the person in the mirror and some will see their past mistakes and it creates doubt. 

We think we are not good enough yet when we choose to follow Jesus we are made right by the grace of God. God removes our past mistakes and sins as far as the east from the west. Therefore you should be confident in who you are and who you are in Jesus Christ. We will see the goodness of the Lord here on earth. 

All we must continue to do is to wait patiently for the Lord and be brave and courageous. You do not have a Spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind. So be confident and stay the path giving God all the glory and confidently waiting on Him. 

Have an awesome day, my friend.

My dear friend, there is much to say about this scripture in Philippians 3. Paul says that one thing he does is to forget what is behind him and to look forward (excited) at what lies ahead. It is when we hold on to the past. The hurts, the sorrow, our mistakes, fear and even unforgiveness then we get stuck and we do not allow ourselves to step into the kingdom of God. It is by these offences that we remain stagnant and it hinders our spiritual growth. 

It is something that I struggled with the last few months and God had to show me so many scriptures and guide me into complete healing from the pain that was caused by the things that happened. Once I submitted completely God could heal and transform and now there burns a stronger fire for Jesus than ever before. 

God is truly amazing and He will never abandon you and He will never let you stand alone. Come with me today as we just hand it all over and give it all to Him committed and in complete trust. Let us not look back but stay the coarse and look ahead to the prize. 

Have an awesome day.

To God be all the glory and all the praise. In creation everything worships and praises God from the mightiest angel to the smallest bird. How much more should man, the apex of God’s creation praise Him. 

May I ask that when you step into prayer today that we start by praising God before you bring your requests to Him. Just glorify Him for who He is and what He has done for us. I often think of how much God has forgiven me for in my past life and how wonderful His mercies are. 

Even now when I battle with an ongoing fight for my daughter, I find myself seeking His presence and I just worship Him. God and God alone deserves all our praise and nothing this world bings should ever bite into that. My dear friend, this morning I pray that God fills us with His Spirit and His Spirit of Holy Fear so that we can fully worship Him for who He is and what He does. 

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord and let our love for Him exalt Him and pour out on the world we influence. 

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Our theme this year is “Invasion” as we invade the world seeking the lost, the needy and answering the call Jesus made when He said “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” Here in Isaiah God makes a promise in this call. He says your light will shine, He will guide you, give you water, restore your strength and you will be like a well-watered garde. 

Jesus made a similar statement saying, “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” There are mainly two things to consider, and one is that God says go into the world and feed the hungry. Now world is not necessarily China, but the very world we live in daily. 

The hungry is not just those who need food to eat but those who are hungry for God and has a desperate need to step out of their burdens and find salvation. The lost and the needy. Secondly it is important that Jesus did not expect you to do this on your own so that is why God says He will restore you and give you strength. 

That is why God does not call the qualified but qualifies the called. It is not by power nor by might, but by the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit. That is why Jesus said that He is sending us a helper. My dear friend, one soul saved is one soul that is not lost to this world. So, I challenge you today to walk in faith and trust God and live out your faith in Jesus. 

Have an awesome day.
