Today Reminder – 28 October 2016



A reminder for today
You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.(Ephesians 5:5)

How are you, my friend? It is yet another Friday and another weekend that lies ahead. I love Fridays and I guess a lot of you too. As Friday starts you get that weekend feeling and your body goes into relax mode. You mind takes a breather and your heart takes a break. In today’s world most people work on weekends and in so many updates we spend just as much time working on a weekend than we work in the week. As we rush to get things done we fight through weekends to deliver. So your body goes into weekend mode but your mind goes into overdrive, because now it must pull things together when the body wants to rest. Greed is such a terrible thing and it can drive people insane. With greed comes so many bad things and we must be careful that we do not get ourselves tangled in it. Greed is purely an intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food. Wealth and power is something so many desires and it can make a good man a very bad man. So many lives have been lost, because of someones greed and lust for power. 

Steer away from it and focus your desires on God. Desire more of God and more time with Him. Desire to be more like Jesus and to be able to walk in His footsteps. Desire a pure heart and strong moral compass. Desire the things of heaven then the things of this earth will have no meaning for you. Desire to be good to other and good in all your relationships then you will never be embarrassed. Desire to stand for what is right then the enemy will fall in all their attempts. Desire a heart free from the greed of man and you will prosper in all that is God.

So today my challenge is simple – do not be greedy. I sound simple yet it can be a hard one. So I challenge you to steer away from greed and be contempt.

Lord, I pray that you will fill our hearts with all of you so that we will not be affected by greed, instead we will seek you above all. In Jesus name.

Have an 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...
