Today Reminder – 3 March 2016



A reminder for today
And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. And I will put my Spirit in you so that you will follow my decrees and be careful to obey my regulations. (Ezekiel 36:26-27)

I am so tired. This update has drained a lot from us and the nature of the work is very sensitive and affects our tax calculations. This on its own places another huge burden on me since I know how careful we should be. At this stage it feels as if it just does not want to stop, because just as I think we covered everything something else finds its way out and then it is another difficult change that needs to be considered and implemented. You can just imagine how this creates friction and irritation among us. Luckily the Lord seems to find a way to get me calm again and to open my eyes to a solution for each and every challenge thus far. So even though I am at my end I am so blessed by the way the Lord has guided and carried me this far.

So today the Lord wants to remind us that when we give our hearts to Him, He will give us a new heart and a new spirit. He will remove the old stubborn heart and replace it with a responsive heart that responds to Him instantly. Then He places His Spirit in us to guide us and lead us and to strengthen us through our journey. We are new and newly transformed to His perfection. We are made holy for in us lives a Holy Spirit.

I have seen the Lord do the impossible through me in my life and I am sure He will do more through you. Keep standing, my friend, and keep fighting because you are unbeatable. Your success will resonate through the night skies as it glorifies His awesome name. Stand with me today as we take our new hearts and touch the world around us. 

Lord, take this old heart and replace it with your new one so that I will respond to you at any given moment and reflect your glory through all that I do. In Jesus name.

Let every knee bow down and every voice declare that Jesus Christ is the Lord.

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...
