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.

I look up to the mountains. This morning, I woke up and I am tired. It felt as if the very life is drained from me. Now looking at the day ahead and then what still needs to happen, I can tell you my motivation was rock bottom. I turned to the Lord, and I just humbled myself and asked Him for help. I cannot do this on my own. 

I do not have the strength and the power to face what lies ahead and above all I am tormented with the battle of my daughter that keeps itself fresh in my subconscious. The Holy Spirit immediately said Psalm 121. As I opened my Bible and the words stared back at me. Where does my help come from? My help is from God who made the heavens and the earth. 

I tell you I was just in awe of how wonderful and loving our God is and how He just moves. I stepped out of the house and into my calling. I spoke life and truth over the guys that I give food to, and the Holy Spirit gave me the words to speak into their lives so that somewhere they will change their lives and find Him. 

My dear friend, do not take God’s promises lightly. Do not be afraid and do not worry about tomorrow. Our God is a God of miracles, and He loves to heal brokenness. Your day is going to be an awesome day, and you will see Him working in ways that will leave you speechless. I trust God with all of me, and I seek Him now more. 

Have an awesome day.

This morning God reminds us that if He had spoken it, it would come to pass. I know we all face tough times, challenges and sometimes hard decisions. Sometimes we face unjust and unfair decisions or actions in our lives. I think we should always remember that satan uses offence as one of his best disguised weapons. 

Offence can bring back old memories or hurt, and it can make us react in a harsh or disrespectful manner. We take offence and we react to it. It is important that you remember that we will be judged in our deeds and the way we judge and forgive. Jesus made this very clear in Matthew 7 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you". 

In the other part of it God makes it clear if He said it, it will be done. In Psalm 21 God says “Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever. His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.”  

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Personally, I think I am still working towards understanding the fear of the Lord and what promises lies in it. Simply put, once we comprehend this there lies wealth, prosperity, health and life in this. I think it all starts by drawing closer to God and stepping into this scripture in Matthew 6 “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you”. 

Then together with the fear of the Lord we will receive understanding in God’s ways and knowledge because it should create in us a desire to spend more time in His Word and in His presence. Now the result is as our Pastor said is “GO”. James wrote faith without works is dead and once we understand salvation and what lies within the fear of God, we will step out of our comfort zone and into our purpose and His promises. 

My dear friend, there lies a great treasure of life in the Holy Fear of the Lord and a life that will take us beyond our wildest expectations. Come with me as we draw nearer to God in holy fear and into our purpose. Do not only believe the gospel but live it out every day for the harvest is great and the labourers are few.

You shall know them by their fruit. Jesus talks about false prophets, but I believe in general all who confess to be Christians and goes to church. Although many will call themselves Christians, their hearts and priorities are clouded by a worldly or dark desires. They lack the fear of the Lord. 

Proverbs 9:10 state "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom". Proverbs have many verses that talks about fear and understanding but it is in our obedience and fear of God that lies good fruit. Psalm 111:10 says “Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom. All who obey his commandments will grow in wisdom.” Job 28:28 says, “The fear of the Lord is true wisdom; to forsake evil is real understanding”. 

The enemy is working to create a concept of Christianity with no fear of God where we continue to do the things we know as wrong, but we justify our acts by finding some or other controversial truth to support our viewpoint when in essence we are wrong. We think ourselves right even if we know we are wrong. 

We “buddy” God and we think we can argue our motives as acceptable when the very Word of God says otherwise. My dear friend, again I urge us, and believe me I am talking to myself, that we put God first above all else and that we respect Him with fear and reverence. As I step into this season of my life, my deepest desire is to do as God command and seek His will above my own. 

I desire a life that will bless other and to work diligently towards my complete purpose. I desire that the works of our hands and our hearts will glorify our Father and show His love and mercy wherever we go so that our testimonies will reach people and change hearts. 

Have an awesome day, my friend.

I think we should not take this verse lightly. If I may speak from my own life I tend to find moments when I question people’s behaviour and before I can consider the reasons I end up judging by thinking that is how they are. 

They are just lazy or spineless or even crazy. I look at their behaviour and I would make an assumption on who or what they are. I have no right to do this. In fact every person is a child of God. He made us all and He died for all of us. Yes, their behaviour is questionable but this does not give a right to label them and break into their character. 

I love my kids and a large part of my affliction and questions is based on the battle I am facing with my little girl at the moment. My offence and my hurt creates irritation that I think still lingers from the divorce. God has been working hard in my life this year to release me from past hurt and offence that I have because if we are stuck in this we will never step into the fullness of what God planned for our lives. 

And to be honest as He teaches and guides me through scripture (like today) and books and people I am healed and released from it. And I can see it in my day to day experience and my fears I have for my daughter. In essence as I am releasing, God is releasing and His grace not only overwhelms but abounds in me daily and the peace of Jesus that surpasses all understanding is just that. It truly does. 

So, I guess what the Holy Spirit is saying is simply let it go and live in holy fear for then all God’s promises will become visible in our lives. Have an awesome day, my friend and know that I love you very much.

I just want to continue on Matthew 7 a bit. There is so much here that we should remember and not take lightly. Firstly God is Jehovah Jireh, our provider. As Jesus say here God will surely give good things to those who ask Him. Jesus mentions ask, seek and knock. 

He is saying that we should persevere in prayer and place all areas of our lives under God’s authority. Paul wrote “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” My dear friend I am asking, I am praying that these words will resonate in your heart and that you will boldly step into God’s presence letting go of everything that so worries you and giving it all in prayer you the Lord and He will lift you up and give you peace. 

Have an awesome day.

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.
