Today Reminder (Be still) – 12 March 2018



A reminder for today
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. (Psalms 46:1)

How was your weekend, my friend? I do hope you rested well and that you are set and ready for the week ahead. This whole land reform thing bothered me this weekend, so I did a little research. I looked at the documentaries done by Lauren Southern and the hatred and brutality that the farm murders are executed, and they are terrible. I was shocked again by what is happening in South Africa. The whole land reform and redistribution without compensation is stirring up people and I am afraid this could not end well. 

I woke up this morning worried about what awaits us and what is going to happen. The uncertainty of tomorrow and the results of land reform in Zimbabwe just added to my concern. The funny thing is that after the land was repossessed in Zimbabwe they are now giving it back to the white farmers. The Zimbabwean economy broke down and the people of Zimbabwe suffered terribly. Is this our future? 

I find myself at a cross road where I am considering leaving everything behind and immigrating. I do not want my children to be brutally murdered and tortured by the hatred of these people. The funny thing is that not all South Africans feel that way. Those who can see the wrongs in Africa knows that there is no good going to come out of this. Yet we continue to divide this country by race. We are once again back in the days of the early settlers where the Zulu nation under Dingaan tried to kill all the whites. 

The sad thing is that we now have an opportunity to rebuild and grow this country, but the leaders will rather destroy it. So, I find myself questioning this and thinking that maybe I have it wrong. Are they actually going to go through with this? And when they do, how will they sustain the economy? It is here where God jumped in and pulled me out of my misery and reminded me that I must Be still, and know that He is God.

I must trust Him and know that He will deliver South Africa out of the confusion and pain we are facing. I must not worry for I worship an almighty God and He will not let the enemy destroy us. He will save us and heal our land. He will unite us and change the hatred hearts into good hearts. He will show us a common ground where we can build our future together.

Lord, come and save your people. Please touch the hearts of our people and show them the correct way of dealing with the issues at hand. Steer them towards unity and away from pain and hatred. Come and heal our land. 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...
