Today Reminder - 09 September 2013 (Day 6 - Victories)



A reminder for today
Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid or lose heart! (1 Chronicles 22:13)

How was your weekend? I don’t know about you but my weekend gave me more challenges than what I expected. It is funny how we can be so short sighted and hard headed sometimes. The enemy once again successfully used all my weaknesses against me and I failed miserably. I came to a place where I felt that I am frustrated with my own inabilities to withstand the temptations of the enemy and to see through their disguised intentions and that I don’t have enough wisdom to not slip and remain focussed on my goal and my goal is to be an ambassador for Christ. 

So all the victories that I wanted to achieve ended in losses on my side and felt lost and insecure about myself. So this morning the Lord highlighted these words of David to his son Solomon and I feel how the Holy Spirit just wants us to sit back for a moment and reflect. God is reminding us today that we should keep the faith and be strong and courageous. This reminded me of the movie courageous and how we are supposed to place our trust in God and be more than what the world requires. We must be vessels of honour and soldiers of good that fights for God and as we become pillars in our families that resemble the strength of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.

My victory verse for today is James 1:12 - God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation, and I feel that I have lost this battle. So I am on my knees asking God to give me strength, wisdom and understanding so that I will not fall again, but remain steadfast in the midst of all my storms. I pray that the Lord will uplift us with wisdom and courage so that we will not be afraid and that we will not lose heart, but that we will be courageous all the time, in Jesus name.

“Whatever your station or position in life, there is always room for improvement, enhancement, and perfection. I say this with a great sense of humility. Regardless of what you are enjoying at the moment, the Lord says that he has something better for you! No matter what you have achieved, attained, or accomplished in this world, there are more challenges and blessings ahead. God says that you have stayed long enough on this mountain. It is time to press forward to take more territories and receive more trophies.” – Pedro Okoro

Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus

Cheers

Just to remind you

When I say that 'I am a Christian', I am not shouting that 'I am clean living. I'm whispering 'I was lost, but now I'm found and forgiven.'  When I say 'I am a Christian', I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.   When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.  When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.  When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not claiming to be perfect. My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it. When I say 'I am a Christian', I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name. When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not holier than you. I’m just a simple sinner who received God...

Today Reminder – 7 August 2014 (Day 5 – Return to Proverbs)

A reminder for today Honour the LORD with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine. (Proverbs 3:9-10) When we realise that all we are and all that we are good at is a blessing from the Lord we soon see how we can honour Him with these wonderful talents. I give all the credit to the Lord for all that I accomplish and all that I do and I am humbled by the way He continues to give me wisdom in my work. The promise here is much greater than we realise. When we honour Him with all that we produce, He will fill our barns and let our vats overflow. This to me means that the more we honour Him in what we produce (do) the more He will bless what we do up to the extend where we will see His blessings and they will leave us completely overwhelmed. In the end all that we have comes from God and He will increase what we have when we seek Him above all and live to bring glory to Him. ...

Today Reminder (Boxes) – 9 November 2017

A reminder for today   I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End [the Eternal One]. (Revelation 22:13 ) When you are reading this, I will be well on my way to my parents. Today is their moving day and we are off to help. Now, when it comes to moving I am almost an expert. We moved a few times and I can tell you it was never fun. Even still today our furniture starts to shake when a truck drives by. Now moving is all about boxes. Your stuff goes into the box and then onto the truck and finally at the new destination the stuff comes out of the box. One thing I can tell you is that with every move our stuff got lesser and lesser, because I gave some away that I thought we do not need anymore. Some would think I just made it less and easier to move. I would argue the opposite, but surely everyone is entitled to their own opinion. When we look at life it is a bit like moving. You see we experience things in life and we box it. This c...
