Today's thought - 05 October 2026 (The battle for your mind)

 

How are you, my friend? My verse today is from Psalm 117:2, “For His merciful kindness is great toward us, And the truth of the LORD endures forever”. I want to talk to you about that battle of your mind or rather for your mind. Life as we know is full of challenges and some of them can push us to the limits of our strength and we become exhausted as we struggle to keep going.

The problem remains in the battle between the flesh and the spirit. You see our spirit is already in line with what God purposes and sees in us, but our minds are in a catch up proses. Our minds become the very trip wire that keeps us from stepping into what God has instore for us. Our minds limit us.

Paul writes in Romans 8, “For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God”.

You see when we live according to the desires of our flesh, our carnal self we lose the battle even before it started, but Paul also says, “But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you”.

Now, you need to understand that in the end your mind can damage the relationship between you and God for Paul clearly says that in Jesus we have life and the same Spirit that rose Him from the dead will give life to our mortal bodies. In other words, by the power of the Holy Spirit and His guidance we can put to death our mortal thoughts and bring to life our spiritual thoughts. We can live by faith, and we can be what God saw when He created us.

Satan wants you to believe you are not worthy. He wants you to believe that God is not for you and he wants you to fail. What keeps us from total destruction and complete failure? The blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus did what Adam could not do and that is to live sinless despite all the temptations and in the end become the perfect sacrifice that set us apart from the lies of the enemy and into the peace and righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The problem is that we tend to believe the lies of the enemy that we fall short of God’s grace when God clearly says in Psalm 117 that His merciful kindness is great towards us. The amplified says it even better, “For His lovingkindness prevails over us [and we triumph and overcome through Him], And the truth of the LORD endures forever”.

This is really important: We triumph and overcome through Him. It is by Him and through Him that we can defeat all challenges and all storms and all sin and all the lies of the enemy. It is through Him and by Him that we live spiritually and not in the flesh. My friend what we forget is if we can think it, it can be done. God says exceedingly, abundantly above all we can think or imagine. So, if you can dream it, God can do more that that. We limit ourselves by our minds and then we lose the fight because we allow our minds to control us when we should control our minds.

We read in 2 Corinthians, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled”.

Your power is in the Holy Spirit that will help you and guide you, but you need to take captive your thoughts and guard your heart so that you can align your mind with the Word of God. Our fight is not in our bodies but in our minds and in our hearts, but in God we will be able to overcome all that the enemy throws at us – believe it and it will become your reality and nothing will be able to hinder your growth and your success.

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 02 October 2026 (Do you not know)

 

How are you, my friend? It is a beautiful day here in Pretoria. Nice and warm and everything is so green after all the rain we received. What a blessing. Our power is back so I am doing laundry. Jip, you can only wear those underpants so many times – hahahaha.

This morning the Holy Spirit took me back to Matthew 11 and 12. My verse is from Matthew 12:6, “Yet I say to you that in this place there is One greater than the temple (NKLV)”. They were basically arguing about what you may or may not do on the Sabath and Jesus referred them to the Old Testament where David went into the temple and took the bread to feed his men.

Jesus makes this statement that He is greater than the temple. In other words, He is greater than the law. Jesus was indeed greater than the temple. Considering how highly the temple was regarded in the days of Jesus, this was a shocking statement. Yet the temple as it stood in Jesus’ day did not have the ark of the covenant, that important demonstration of the throne and presence of God. Yet Jesus was a much greater demonstration of the presence of God - He was God made flesh! The temple also lacked the Shekinah, the Urim and Thummim, and the sacred fire from heaven. Yet Jesus is all these things to us; He is surely greater than the temple.

Now why this verse? Well, I am as always glad you asked. You see when we are faced with difficult times and hardships and storms and battles and pain and suffering, we tend to forget that God is God and He is greater than our tribulations. That is why Jesus said that in this world you will have tribulation but be of good cheer for He overcome the world. Jesus plainly said that He is bigger, stronger and more powerful than the biggest storm you can face.

Jesus rebuked the wind and calmed the storm. Jesus spoke Lazurus into life. Jesus healed and fed many people but more important is that Jesus saved many. He continues to do so through us every day.

The thing that we often forget is that Jesus said in Matthew 28:18, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth”. Because He has this authority, He can send whomever He wills to do whatever He pleases. He can change your situation in a blink of an eye. Why do we have tribulation? Well Paul said in Romans 5:3-5, “We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love (NLT)”.

God prepares us for what awaits us in the outcome of our obedience so that we will be able to handle the blessing without a fall. So, in essence God is saying that you and I must remember that He is greater than anything we can face or go through. He is greater than what the enemy can muster up against us and He is life and life in abundance. He is the way and the only way. Through Him and with Him we can do anything and if we ask it and believe it, God will change our circumstances. We must remain faithful and obedient and go when He calls.

So, be strong and courageous and please do not give up.

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 01 October 2026 (It can make your or break you)

 

How are you, my friend? Firstly, I have to say it is October and the year is nearing its end. Soon we will see Christmas decorations hit the malls and shops as we enter into the festive season.

My verse is from Psalm 131:2, “Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, Like a weaned child with his mother; Like a weaned child is my soul within me (NKJV)”.

Last night Pastor Russel said that your attitude determines your altitude. A humble attitude is far more powerful than a strong defensive attitude. If we come back to what David writes here: Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul: Instead of proud pursuits, David determined to find satisfaction and serenity of soul, content with God and His works. Those who feel constantly driven to do and achieve more in their relationship with God should learn some of what David here learned. David phrased this with an emphasis on what he did. Of course it was ultimately the work of God within him, but it was vitally connected to his own will and choices. God didn’t do this for him; God used the operation of David’s choice. We must choose to calm and quiet our soul (David Guzik notes).

Jesus gave up His divine privileges and took the humble position of a slave and was born in human form and when He appeared in human form, He humbled Himself to God and died a criminal’s death. Therefore, God elevated Him to the place if highest honor.

Philippians 2:3 says, “Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves (NLT)”.  Humility forms unity and unity carries the flow and there God commands a blessing.

You see humility will allow progress where there is division. Humility will remove division and cause unity. Unity is ultimately the one thing that can make us or break us. You see, for years we were misguided by fear to fight against unity. You see pride is the problem here. Pride separates but humility connects. Pride turns our focus inward and humility turns our focus and our strength outwards. Fear formulates ideas based on assumptions and lies. If all the people (all the Christians) unite we can change this country. In fact, if all Christians unite, we can change the world. The problem remains in pride and fear and the lack of humility.

The world’s biggest problem lies in me, myself and I. Jesus showed us a different way when He said that He gives us a new commandment to love each other as He loved us. How did Jesus love. He loved all the way to the cross and beyond. He became a servant to display what love really looks like. He showed us how important it is to love God and to show that love to the world around you.

Jesus set the standard and we should work towards that standard. That is why we should become more like Him and less of ourselves. In that we must embrace the love of Jesus and allowing it to flow from within us. God is love and to live a life of love it means taking up your cross and follow Jesus so that our lives will reflect that love.

Christians should invade the world with love, because love defeats the enemy in all areas of life.

So today I just want you to think about this: You attitude will determine your altitude. You can be either for Jesus or not. You can be humble or not. You can start the change or remain part of the problem. Come with me as we love or try to love as Jesus did.

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 30 September 2026 (The enemy in the shadows)

 

How are you, my friend? It is still raining. What a blessing and the power has been out twice now. These are the battles that we have over and above what life throws at us. This week is our Dreamweek conference at our church (CRC – Christian Revival Church) and the enemy is hard at work to hinder people to attend. Last night was our opening and what a message. We had the privilege to hear Pastor Samual Rodriguez as he brought the message and it was just amazing. If you have access to YouTube, then do yourself a favor and listen to the Dreamweek sermons on https://www.youtube.com/@crcchurch_

It is worth it. Now Pastor Sam said last night, “If the Nile did not kill you, the red sea will not stop you”. This is so awesome and it brings me back to our message yesterday and what the Holy Spirit points out this morning.

Yesterday the Holy Spirit said, “Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’” (Joel 3:10) and today He says, “For God had something better in mind for us” (Hebrews 11:40). You see as the enemy hides in the shadows and tries to pull us down and continues to attack us in all the possible ways that he can think of. Now you can say with confidence, if the enemy is attacking you, then God is going to use you. If the enemy is attacking you, he knows God has plan for you that will be more than what you can expect. A plan better than what we expect and a plan that will touch many lives.

He wants to kill our faith, and he wants to isolate us, and he wants to stop us. God says in Psalm 147:6, “The LORD supports the humble, but he brings the wicked down into the dust”. God is for you and He stands beside you. He supports you and He keeps you going. He goes before you and nothing can pull you from His hand. Nothing can alter your purpose, and no hidden agenda will prosper, and no weapon formed against you will prosper and no one will be able to stop God’s plan in your life.

Stand on our rock, Jesus Christ and trust Him. Have faith because behind you in the shadows is the enemy trying to destroy you and before you lies the sea and God will split the sea and let you walk through on dry land. I have been writing about this a few times in the last month and I feel God just confirmed it last night. And most important is the result of the enemy behind you. The Egyptians was destroyed in the very sea that was supposed to stop the Israelites. The very thing that the enemy is using against you will be the very thing that will deliver you. JUST HAVE FAITH.

I want to end with this, “He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds” Psalm 147:3.

He’s got you and He is in it with you. Just keep going.

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 29 September 2026 (Pick up your sword)

How are you, my friend? It rained in this Pretoria like you cannot believe. Wow, what a blessing, but what a storm. It reminds me today of the storms we face in life and the challenges we daily have to deal with. You know those things where you put your face in your hands and you feel like screaming. Those where you just stand dumb stunned at the issues people have and the stuff they say and do.

Today the Holy Spirit took me to Joel 3, “Proclaim this among the nations: “Prepare for war! Wake up the mighty men, Let all the men of war draw near, Let them come up. Beat your plowshares into swords And your pruning hooks into spears; Let the weak say, ‘I am strong’”.

My friend, the battle is real and the enemy is a cunning adversary. What is God saying to you today?

Prepare for war. Am I not God, the creator of heaven and earth. The one who holds the universe in His hands and counts the stars. Am in not the one who knows their names. Am I not the God who made you and formed you in your mother’s womb. Am I not the God who saves and protects you. Am I not the God who gave up my only Son so that you can be saved from your sins. Am I not the God who split the red sea and let my people through on dry land. Am I not the God who blessed you with this day. Am I not the God who gave you a body and brain. Am I not the God who brings people into your life to stand by you, help you and support you. Am I not the God who defeated satan and death. Am I not the God who keeps the ocean in its place and the sun in its position. Am I not the God who brought you this far and guided you even when you rejected me.

Am I not the God who goes before you and prepare the way for you.

My dear friend, it is time that we stand and rise above the standards of this world. It is time that we get up and go. It is time that we step into our purpose and share our testimony and the gospel with the people we know and see each day. It is time that we rise up against the enemy and fight for the lost. It is time that we proclaim the victory of Jesus on the cross to all people and that we go where God sends us. This may be far or it can be just next door. See the need and act upon it. It takes only one to step up and follow the voice of the Holy Spirit and many lives can be saved in the process.

Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Take what you have and step into the light and speak the truth. Take what you have and trust God in it and you will bear mega fruit. Do not fear what lies ahead and do not fear what the enemy throws at you because God says, “Let the weak say – I am strong”.

Let the weak say I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me.

You can make a change. You can save a life. You can overcome your battles. You can, because Jesus did. You are a mighty warrior. Rise, my friend and go.

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 28 September 2026 (That damn mountain)

 

How are you, my friend? We are blessed with yet another day and another chance. I wrote to you before that God is a God of second chances as He allowed Samson’s hair to grow back and he was able to bring down the temple of the Pharisees. It is just sad that his life ended with this one deed and that hatred and anger was what was left of this magnificent man.

I am laughing a bit at myself this morning, because I think ninety nine percent of the time I am writing to myself and the battles I face. This week is no different as I stare at my mountains and the best word or phrase that I can come up with is, “I am so tired off all of this crap”.

This brings me to my verse from Psalm 139, and I would suggest you read the whole Psalm. It is truly amazing. Now verse 1, “O LORD, You have searched me and known me”.

You see life is all about ups and downs. There is always a good day and there is always a bad day. Some days we can take on the world and some days the world just drives all over us. And what the enemy so loves is to make us believe that we are alone in it and nobody knows our pain or our suffering or the things we must deal with and sometimes those things are just a whole lot of emotional mumbo jumbo and we feel that the end is upon us.

Why is this? Well, we are all emotional beings and the enemy as we know preys on our emotions. He will systematically work to make you tired and exhausted and pro long things and keep distracting us in his simple attempt to weaken us. It can be work, family, friends or just plain old stress that he uses to get to you. Oooh and once he sees you have weak moment well then comes all the lies and the feeling “sorry for myself” emotions. The enemy loves this state of mind because then we are fallible to any of his suggestions and nonsense.

How do we beat this? Let’s look at what we see in Psalm 139:1. David writes that God searches us and knows us. The NLT says it like this, “O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me”.

It is simply this – God knows. He knows where you are, what you are facing, what you have been through, what you did, what you did not and what you have to do.

He is not a God that sits in heaven and thinks that maybe He should help or assist or call someone. God is a God of His Word and His Word says that He will never leave you or forsake you and that He goes before you and that He is with you in your battles. He is your refuge and your place of safety. He will cover you and protect you. The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name”. Psalm 91:14.

There you have it. Those who trust in my name. Those who abide in me. Those who seek me above all else. Those who listens to my voice. In verse 15 God says, “When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honour them”.

My dear friend, do not let the enemy steal your joy.

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 25 September 2026 (Emotions)

 

How are you, my friend? Today I want to talk to you about emotions. Yes, there are those we meet in life we think might need a few, but I am referring to acting on your emotions. You see I sometimes act on or react on how I feel. If I feel it is unfair or unjust I will sometimes allow my emotions to get the better of me, I react to that.

Here in Job 10, Job is on the complain train. Verse 1 starts with, “I am disgusted with my life. Let me complain freely. My bitter soul must complain”. Now rightfully so, because Job has lost everything and he is tormented by his position and his circumstances. The funny thing is that so many of us (me included) will have the same attitude with a lot less lost.

In verse 12 he says, “You gave me life and showed me your unfailing love. My life was preserved by your care”. Job as we know was a blessed man before he lost everything including his health. He is reflecting on God’s grace as he looks over his current situation. Does it sound familiar?

We look back at all the good we had and we become bitter and depressed because our current situation is slowly deteriorating and we can only see darkness. Job says in verse 22, “It is a land as dark as midnight, a land of gloom and confusion, where even the light is dark as midnight.”

Then God answers in Job 38, “Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorant words?” God asks Job who laid the foundations of the earth and who kept the see inside its boundaries. God goes on and basically shows Job that he has forgotten who God is and what He can do. I love how God just puts him (and us) in his place showing him through a number of questions what God is doing while we are basically living our lives.

 Job replies, “I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you. You asked, ‘Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorance?’ It is I and I was talking about things I knew nothing about, things far too wonderful for me. You said, ‘Listen and I will speak! I have some questions for you, and you must answer them.’ I had only heard about you before, but now I have seen you with my own eyes. I take back everything I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance.”

My friend we often forget who God is when we face our battles and we often take the wrong path because we talk about things we do not know. Job said that he had only heard about God, but now he saw. Sometimes when we listen and we are still and we remember who God is while we are upset, we can change the direction of our thoughts and turn bad into good. We can steer away from negativity and turn depression around. It is a choice. Do I seek God or do I seek me? Do I listen to God or do I want to rant and moan about my problems instead of trusting God.

So, sometimes we need to do as Job did and take back everything we said, and repent. God is a God of His Word and if He is for you then nothing can be against you. If He says He goes before you, He does. If He said no weapon formed against you will prosper, it won’t and if He says His thoughts about you are of a future and a hope, then it is so.

Sometimes we need to stop and just listen.

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 24 September 2026 (Oh how hard life is)

 

How are you my friend? I do hope you are well and that you will have the best day ever. Oh, the nay sayers and the gossipers and those complainers. Oh, how terrible life is and how hard it is for some. Haha, I am being sarcastic. Sorry, my day started early and I have not had my second cup of coffee.

We read in Psalm 1:1, “Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers”.

I find that in general people are negative and they are so good at influencing people and make them sing the same tune. You know that song they love to sing of how unfair life is and how they are just so disadvantaged and then all the things they want and how they struggle. Oh, my goodness and most of them own a house, drive a car, order takeout food and have lots of clothes to pick from.

You know what makes me wonder today is how hard it is for some people to hear the gospel and to apply the Word of God in their lives and then how easy it is for them to complain and how easy people are influenced by this. But they do not go to church or homecell or spend time in God’s Word.

That is why I chose to run from the gossipers and the negative crowd. I chose not to say the negative, but I take all that bothers me or gets to me in submissive prayer to the Lord. Now, I am not saying I am doing this right and that it is this one stop quick stop solution to all that you face. I am saying steer clear of saying the wrong thing and rather seek the guidance and wisdom of God in it. I am also not saying I have perfected this, but I find that this option always has a better outcome for me and for my day.

Remember: There is power in your words. What you say has a direct effect on your life. If you complain about your problem and you keep saying it is impossible or too much, you give that issue authority and power. But if you speak to it and you speak the Word of God you will have power over it. It is a small step, day by day, keep trying, keep focusing, coming back to the drawing board and trying again type of thing. By trying again and again you will eventually act out of repetition against the problem and speak life rather than death over it. It is a practice makes perfect mind over problem type of thing. You know the “you shall reap what you sow” result.

My dear friend, I am just worried that you will allow bad and negative things to steal your blessing and your joy. Do not let negative worldly people affect your day nor allow them to speak into your life. Rebuke the negativity and remove it from your life. You are not what the nay sayers and blame seekers say. You are not what the lies of the enemy try to say nor are you defined by what another think.

You are a child or God, a mighty warrior. An overcomer and a world changer. If the enemy keeps attacking you, it means he is afraid of what you can do. Step with me today into your purpose and into your calling and remind the enemy of his destiny. He has no power over you, and he has no place in your mind or in your life.

Jesus defeated that old devil and he knows it. Submit it all to God and resist the enemy.

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 23 September 2026 (The door)

 

How are you my friend? I am writing backwards today meaning I am writing about yesterday today. No, I am not looking back if that is what you are wondering, I am just understanding this scripture from Joshua 1:11 a little better after my Tuesday.

How will I put this? Well, let’s say it was not a good day, but it was a good day. Now that does not make sense. Proverbs 17:27 says, “A truly wise person uses few words; a person with understanding is even-tempered”.

I have always been a person that is quick to anger and quicker to act. Yesterday I sat in a meeting listening to a person ranting on, on what was not aimed at him but instead a statement I made based on the improbability of what was asked. He took it personal and had what we call a fit. I calmly apologised and said the comment was not aimed at him but said in context to the end user. He took another shot and I kept quiet letting him run his mouth basically confirming the type of person he truly is.

You see I have written to you many times about the seed you sow and how that has an impact on our lives. Now, please do not get me wrong. I was furious at this petty fit that he threw but I did not voice it. I took my anger and my frustration to the Holy Spirit and carried on with my work.

It is interesting how many attempts the enemy is making at me this week. It started with my ex-wife who made a number of new false claims for which she has no evidence and her continuous attempts to disrupt my time with my daughter. Then it is my colleagues who just had to add to my challenges and then there is this project that I assumed was over and here we are still adding and making changes. Hence, my comment on the unnecessary work that we do now that is prolonging this project and the negligence on their behalf.

You see it all hits at the same time. Where am I going with this? Well, I want to chat to you about doors. You see my verse talks about the land that we will possess, but sometimes the land that we want is not the land God has in mind. In other words, the door we want to go through is closed. You see God closes some doors to protect you and to keep you from making a mistake. We get negative because we do not get what we want, but we forget God said He will never leave us nor forsake us and He goes before us and He will protect us and He will deliver us. God can only achieve this by keeping us on the right path.

I know it can be very exhausting at times, but we need to stay the course and keep trusting Him. Yes, I am talking to myself. You see Moses and all the Israelites stood before the Red Sea and they were in a cull de sac of challenges. Mountains on the side, the red sea in front of them and a very relentless and angry bunch of Egyptians from the back. The scenario is impossible, but what does God do? He creates a way that is extremely unexpected. God said why do you cry? Tell the people to step into the ocean and stetch out your rod. You see they needed to step into the impossible and then God made the way. Their faith moved with God. God has already made the way, we must just trust Him and keep going.

My dear friend, the door in front of you may be closed but as I said before. God is doing a new thing, and He will make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He will change the impossible into the possible and give you a way through it. Just have faith and trust Him.

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 22 September 2026 (The cornerstone)

 

How are you my friend? Today the Holy Spirit is taking us to Matthew 11. Jesus said in verse 4, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see”.

Jesus said that the blind can see, the lame can walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

What is salvation? Salvation is God's act of rescuing people from sin and its penalty and restoring them to a right relationship with Him. What does salvation do? Salvation saves you basically from yourself.

Jesus said in Luke 4:18-19, “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD”.

Jesus basically confirms His deity twice here. Once reading from Isiah and confirming that this is who He is and once again to the disciples of John. Why is this significant today? I am glad you asked. You see when you realize that Jesus is the only way and without Him, we can do nothing, then you are on the path to success. Yes, we will continue on in our way of life but there will always be this deep void that we will constantly try to fill with all kinds of crap that we really do not need.

Jesus goes on in Matthew 11:6, “And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.”

Jesus says here that He is either the rock that we build on or the stone that becomes an offensive obstacle that causes us to trip. He is the precious cornerstone that we build our lives on as we trust Him for salvation, or we reject Him and face spiritual ruin.

Many stumbles at this because the world and all the world offers is just too attractive and they are basically enslaved by this need for stuff that controls them. Jesus said He came to set the captives free and to let the blind see. Now this is literal and it is spiritual, because He can heal you from all your physical challenges, but He also heals us from our spiritual blindness so that we can see the traps of this world.

So, what are we saying today. Jesus is the cornerstone on whom we should build our lives so that we can be set free from bondage and strongholds that control our minds and hearts. He came so that we can be free from a worldly need and seek a heavenly need. Our Pastor reminded us that your heart is where your treasure is. So, if you seek Jesus above all things and place Him first then you invest in your eternal annuity and this one is the important one.

My dear friend, I guess I am trying to say to you that life is really short, and it can end so abruptly. Why do you still seek the things that will destroy you and reject the stone that will give you stability and purpose? Why do we have money for entertainment and things that we do not need, but we do not sow into God’s kingdom and we do not tithe. We do not help the poor and we do not see the need of others. Jesus said that the gospel is preached to the poor. He said that we should go into this world and share the gospel. He said that as we abide in Him and He in us we will bear mega fruit.

My friend, again I say to you there is more to you than meets the eye. You are more than what the world wants you to see. You are a mighty warrior. Come with me today as we realign our lives with the perfect cornerstone and build on this stone with me as we seek Him above all things. In this you will be prosperous and you will have success and this is in all areas of your life.

Have an awesome day, my friend.
