Today Reminder – 28 December 2016



A reminder for today
Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other's faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. (Colossians 3:12-13)

How are you, my friend? Yesterday was a public holiday and I had so much to do I missed my time to write to you. But believe me you were in my thoughts. I got up early and went to the gym, then I cut the grass, washed the cars and bathed the dogs. Then we still had our electricity fault so new electrician came out to have a look and yes it costed an arm and a leg. I think at this stage in our financial situation it costed an ear and a nose also. But anyway it seems to be fine now and the grass does look nicer when it is mowed. It has been raining unbelievably here and it is amazing how the Lord is just blessing us with this amazing rain. It rained a few minutes ago and I can see clouds are thick again so I am sure it will rain again soon. 

God is full of love and His amazing blessings in our lives are just beyond believe. Today the Lord wants us to remember that He chose us to be holy and He wants us to be full of mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Accept other people’s faults and forgive, because you are forgiven.

Forgiveness is the best weapon besides prayer that we can use against the enemy. He wants you to hate and hold grudges, where the Lord wants you to forgive and live. So as the new year approaches I challenge you to take up this new year’s resolution with me as we leave the past in the past and forgive all as we step into His light into a new year with no burdens holding us back.

Lord, help us to let go of the past and focus on the new us as we look to you and eternity that awaits us. 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...
