Today Reminder (Patience) – 31 July 2017



A reminder for today
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)

How was your weekend, my friend? I am 5 days away from my competition and my diet is tough at the moment. When I am hungry I get cranky so I had a grumpy weekend. It is amazing how the enemy seek out our weakness and exploits it. It takes seconds for us to respond to the lies of the enemy, but several minutes to hear the voice of the Lord and just relax, because He’s got it all under control. We must learn to let go and leave it to Him. 

This passage in 2 Peter we read about the return of the Lord. Now Peter reminds us here in verse 9 that the Lord is definitely not relaxed concerning His return, but He is giving us time to return to Him and turn away from our old way of life so that all may be saved. Many of us are ready for His return, but so many are still lost and heading towards destruction. It is imperative that we use what time is left and tell all about Jesus and give them the opportunity to hear the truth. We must remain patient in this and let the Lord return in His time, yet we know that His time is very close.

As Peter so nicely reminds us in verse 10: But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Come with me today and let us try and save at least one more soul for the kingdom of the Lord. Do not keep this amazing truth for yourself but tell all about the wonder and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. He came and He took away our sin and He defeated death so that we will have eternal life with Him. What more do we need? 

Lord, let us show your love to all around us and in this way, give them the truth and show them the way to you. Let your Holy Spirit guide us and let us help other to find their way back to you. 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...
