When reading Matthew 7 this morning there are several things that just jumps off the page, yet I feel we should ponder around this verse a bit. Since we are doing a bit of inner inspection I guess we should start with perception. We know that a contrite and broken heart gets God’s attention and that Jesus said, “Love each other”. 

I want to challenge myself and you today to put a filter of discernment on our thoughts towards people and our challenges. It is by our complete surrender and commitment that we step into God’s presence and His purpose. Do not resent or judge but seek to love and understand. My dear friend, Proverbs 16:24 says "Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body." So come with me today as we try our best to do just that. 

Have an awesome day.

In today’s world people are so focussed on who they are and the positions they hold. How many move into a position of power and abuses the very blessing that is given to them. How many of us accepts Jesus as our saviour and judges other. We gossip and we get angry and we enjoy it when they go through a tough time. 

We love to use the word karma as to say you reap what you so. Yes, that is true, you do reap what you sow and sometimes God uses another person to teach you that you are not exempt from what is to come on the day of judgement. What is important and believe me I struggle with this, is to remember what God has forgiven us for before we say of think something bad about someone we do not like. 

Ultimately God will determine the path a person takes and He is very clear on what happens with the wicked. So, yes we do not trust people for our trust is in God, but we should still pray for them and ask God to help them find their way. So, be kind to that person at work that really gets on your nerve. Jesus gave His life for all even those who reject Him and generalise Him. No matter how difficult it gets, my friend, keep trusting God. 

He is already working and He will give you the desires of your heart. His time is always perfect. 

Have an awesome day.

Moses was called a friend of God and God had an intimate relationship with Moses as he lead the people of Isreal out of Egypt through the desert. We continue on this because holy fear of God is immensely important in our day to day walk. 

I can tell you with all honesty that the enemy is relentless and he will find a place to creep into your life and into your mind and just cause chaos. The battle for your mind is a constant onslaught of satan’s plans to make us fall just as he deceived Adam and Eve initially he continues to bring lies into our minds to pollute our thoughts so we can follow the wrong concepts. 

Holy fear of God and complete obedience to His Word breaks the attacks of the enemy and helps us to resist. The essence of fearing God with reverence is the voice of God, that still small voice that will show us the right path to take. My dear friend, come and let us seek God every step of the way. He will make a path through the storm and shield you from the arrows of the enemy. He is God and all things are possible because He is the God of the impossible.

 Have an awesome day.

We all face times of trouble and days where things just seem out if control. I guess I get most annoyed with myself when I work so hard to walk close to God and then out of the blue I am filled with irritation and frustration. 

I get upset and it is almost as if I lost all that I worked so hard to gain. Once we make a mistake like getting angry the enemy pounces on you like a hungry lion. He reminds me of the fruits of the Spirit and that I am just not good enough and that I am wasting my time fighting this battle. 

What is the one thing we know about satan that stands out - he is the father of lies. In fact he is the inventor of lies since it all started with a lie in the garden of eden and since then he has perfected this attribute. God will always protect us from their power and lies. It is with a broken heart and true repentance that we get God’s attention as we take shelter in Him. 

I am just a man living in a world filled with trials and tribulation. When you are at your lowest and when you are at your highest always seek God with all your heart. Even when you think that your mistakes are beyond repair and you are not worthy of His grace. 

In fact it is then when you are even more deserving of His grace. My dear friend, come with me as we fully surrender to God and ask Him to rescue us from the lies of the enemy. 

Have an awesome day.

In today’s world we hear all kinds of weird and wonderful things. It is important that we always stand on the Word of God as the source we compare all with. The world’s primary objective is to turn people away from God so they will seek all kinds of ways to bring doubt in our minds. 

Even now with all the alien phenomenon that is exposed they will attack your faith with all kinds of man made ideas. My dear friend, all things were made through Jesus. He made everything. The universe, the world, dinosaurs, people, angels, fallen angels and yes also satan. So, the world can speculate all they want and yes there are lots we do not understand but what we do know is that Jesus is who He said He is and He is the creator of everything. 

As Paul writes “For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.”  Whatever the world tries to make us doubt will be known one day. So, do not let people’s self made ideas steer you away or damage your faith. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness does not comprehend it.

 Have an awesome day.

God has been placing Psalm 51 on my heart a few times this week and as we continue on into this year I feel it is important that I again acknowledge the Holy Spirit’s guidance into telling us that we should desire an intimate and close relationship with God. 

Jesus was in constant prayer and Paul writes that he also pray all the time. It is important that we understand that we cannot do this on our own strength but purely out of grace. So I pray this morning that God will give us more grace and more wisdom so that we can obey His Word to its fullness and live lives that is close to God. 

I pray that His voice will be clear every moment and that our hearts will long for more of Him and that we fully surrender to God and His Word. I pray that your day will be filled with love and grace and that you will experience intimacy with God on new level. 

Have an awesome day, my friend. Remember who He is.

From this chapter in Ezekiel there are four important things to consider about God’s judgement. 

1) Divine judgement is justified. The text shows that sinners are completely defiled and deluded, being complacent in sin. 

2) Divine judgement is comprehensive. None will be spared regardless of age, gender because they have sinned. 

3) Divine judgement is infallible. It began at the sanctuary and shows that the religious hypocrites are known to God, who looks through religion at the heart. 

4) Devine judgement is escapable. God has marked those who belong to Him, redeeming them through the blood of Jesus and sealing them with the Holy Spirit and enabling them to live out as evidence their salvation with holy fear and repentance of sin. 

Jesus is the only one who can save and He saves those who are broken before God in sorrow about sin and who cry out to Him daily. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. 

Have an awesome day.

Create in me a clean heart O God and renew a right spirit within me. I often write about intimacy with God and draw near to God and He will draw near to you. It is important that we grasp the importance of having an intimate relationship with God. The message translation just brings the Psalm to life. Soak me in your laundry and wash me clean. 

Don’t look at my faults but give me a clean bill. Shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life. This is so important that we let go of things that holds us back and let God just cleanse our souls. Each day His mercies are new and each day we must renew ourselves. God does not look at perfection. He looks at the broken heart that cries out to Him. He looks at your innermost feelings and the desires of your heart. 

To know someone intimate is to know their deepest secrets, needs and desires. You only know someone intimately if you work at getting to know them and spending time with them. Fellowship with God, read His Word, worship Him in your own time and take everything in prayer to Him and your life will soar to new highs. 

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Life is full of ups and downs and some days we are strong and some days we battle. Paul writes here in Philippians 4 that we should not be anxious about anything but in everything rather bring your concerns to the Lord in prayer. God will give us peace in the presence of suffering that surpasses all understanding. 

Jesus will keep and protect our hearts and minds. Instead of allowing our thoughts to run away with us we give it to Him and His peace will calm our minds and give us hope. Storms will rise and some days it will feel as if you are drowning but through our Lord Jesus Christ we can do anything. Face anything, overcome everything and survive any storm. It may feel to you that you are overwhelmed and unable to carry on but the moment you turn to the Lord in prayer it will lift and His love will overflow through you. 

There lies great victory and freedom in Jesus our Lord and saviour. My dear friend, do not be troubled by this world and the battles you face but humble yourself in prayer and listen to your conscience. God will give us the desires of our hearts when we obey and trust Him. 

Have an awesome day.

In essence this is our faith. He became a man and carried all our sin to the cross where He gave His life so we can be saved from the grip of sin and death. He then will return and those who are still alive and eagerly waiting will be saved, the final salvation. Jesus is the name that saves, the name that heals, the name to gives hope, the name that strengthen us, the name above all names. 

He is the way, the truth and the life. There is no other name. My dear friend, Jesus will return and His return is near. The star breathing, sin bearing, life giving creator of the universe is the one who became a man and obeyed God to the end giving us the greatest gift and in Him lies our strength and joy. Come with me as we just give Him glory and thanksgiving for all that He did and is still doing every day. 

Have an awesome day.
