Today Reminder – 05 May 2017



A reminder for today
Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe. For our God is a devouring fire. (Hebrews 12:28-29)

It is Friday and it is almost weekend. I listened to the testimony of Paul Young the author of “The Shack”. He speaks about grace of a day or rather grace for a day. He says that each day we should live in that day’s grace. We should embrace the grace we receive each day and live it to the fullest. The fact that I woke this morning is by grace and the love of God. We easily forget the amazing gift that we have called “life”. Jesus spoke about this in a sense in Matthew 6. "So don't worry about these things, saying, 'What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?' These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.” 

Above all, we are receiving a kingdom that is unshakable in eternity with the Lord. So let us forget about the past and all our troubles and let us focus on God. God is a devouring fire and I must admit I love that verse. We are worshipping an awesome God and we must never forget whom He is. Paul says we must worship Him with holy fear and awe. When He says fear, he talks about God’s judgement over sin. The awe part is easy, because God leaves me in awe every day. The fear part is not so easy, because we are under constant attacks from the enemy and at days, it can be very slippery. However, fortunately, we have Jesus and He is our strength so that we can overcome these attacks. Jesus is our hope and our life, He is the way and in Him, we find shelter from darkness, as he becomes the light that guides us in the Holy Spirit. You are and will always remain in my prayers and I continue to ask God to strengthen you and keep you from stumbling. 

Lord, I pray that you lead us through this day and let us see your glory as we worship you. We are in awe of your wonder and we desire more of you and less of us. Fill us with your Holy Spirit and let us shine like the morning star. 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...
