Today Reminder (Unseen) – 5 September 2018


A reminder for today
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:18)

I woke up this morning to go to the gym and everything was very quiet in the house. We had a power failure again. As far as I can see the power went off before midnight and it is still off. Welcome to Africa. I believe it is sabotage again, because if one good one stands against the masses they always retaliate. This is classic ANC and EFF syndrome. They can’t get the DA out of office in Pretoria, so they sabotage them. Little people.

Paul reminds me again today that it is not about the things we see, but the unseen things of eternity. When I get frustrated and irritated by what is happening here in South Africa I am always reminded that this is not important. It is not about this world, but it is all about Jesus. 

You see we have to remember that this world that we see is all temporary and despite all the hate and murder and terrible things that happen around us for control off this temporary world, it is still just temporary and not important. It is difficult to see the enemy use people to hurt and destroy and how blind people are for what is actually happening. It is almost as if the whole moral compass does not exist when you see what evil truly looks like. For a Christian this is hard to understand. 

So, I find myself challenged a lot lately and I can tell you the enemy is hard at work to pull me down and make me fall. Unfortunately for him I am a child of God and my life belongs to Jesus Christ. I have been bought and saved by the blood of my saviour on the cross and I continue to pray for my enemies and all you, my dear friends. 

We may struggle to understand why, and we may not see God’s plan, but one day we will see and understand. “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” (1 Corinthians 13:12)

One day we will see and understand, but now we need to focus on the things that is unseen and carry the gospel with us so that we can lead people to Jesus and encourage those that are going through hardships and challenges. 

We must not give up now, but rather fight harder. We must stand up and unite in prayer for our people and for all Christians all over the world. We must not forget that Jesus is coming again, and we should be ready at all times. Clear you mind of all the bad and negative and focus on that which we are promised by God. He will save us, and He will return. Stand strong and be courageous and pray.

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...
