Today Reminder – 22 June 2017



A reminder for today
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. (2 Peter3:18)

Today I want to write about grace. I have a huge desire that we must see grace as Jesus gave it in abundance. Let's start with the basics. You are forgiven. Yes, I know that it feels like you held those nails in your hands and that you denied the Lord many times. I know you have done things that you wish you did not do. I know that you feel this grace is unbelievable and you are not worthy of it.
Jesus looked at you with arms wide open and He forgives you for your mistakes. He loves you even when you feel you do not deserve it. His blood makes you innocent so say good bye to the past and embrace today. I know that forgiveness in never a once of thing for us and that we continue to make mistakes and we need to be forgiven again. 

As you fall down to your knees today seeking His forgiveness remember that on the cross Jesus said, “It is done” and with these words He took your pain and sin with Him. Forgiveness in Jesus terms is starting fresh each day with a clean slate. I know this world causes us to fall and that our desires get the better of us, but Jesus pulls us out of temptation and restores us by grace. We are forgiven and we should live our lives so show that we are. 

Do not allow the enemy to pull a veil of deception over your head and confuse you with lies. Jesus does not condemn you, He saves you. It is the enemy that lurks in your thoughts trying to convince you that you are not worthy. Jesus died for all and all means all of us. He is so excited that you have found your way and He is with you every step you take from here. You could have been lost forever, but you are not. You could have seen that fire, but you will not. You are forgiven. Stand up from the ground and start living a forgiven life. Peter says that we should grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord. For all the glory is for Him. Therefore, let us stand up and start growing. Let us be steadfast in our faith and let us trust His grace. His love uplifts and restores. Be the person you are meant to be in Jesus Christ. 

Lord, we ask that you forgive our mistakes and lift us up from the dirt. I pray that you wipe us clean from our sin and restore our faith. Let us stand up more determined and more able in your strength. Let us break the chains of the enemy and live as forgiven children. 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...
