Today's Reminder

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.
Wednesday, 29 April 2026
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.
