Today Reminder (No Fear) – 31 October 2018


A reminder for today
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. (1 John 4:18)

There is no fear in love. Fear is one of the best methods the enemy uses to get to us. What do we fear? We fear rejection, failure, job loss, pain, income issues, debt, hurt, tomorrow, stature, not being good enough, not being careful enough, mistakes and are we able to make it.

The enemy has a huge list of things he uses to confuse us and lead us away from the Bible and into destruction. It is our worldly nature that hampers our perception and influences our understanding of what Jesus promises in His Word. 

The enemy wants you to forget the Bible and focus on your problems and not on what God promises. You see we are so easily influenced by people and circumstances that we miss the whole point. God loves you and He will show the way and He will never leave you. When Jesus said that our Father will take care of us, He was dead serious, and God does. It is our fears and our worldly nature that drives us away from God’s promise and into sin. 

How do we cast away fear? John says that there is no fear in love. If you have fear you are not made perfect in love and to me that is God’s love. Although God loves you and will always be with you, you still have to choose. Now, do we choose out of fear or out of faith. If there is no fear in love and you love God with all your heart and all your soul, you will be made perfect in love and in that perfection lies fearlessness. 

It is when we lose focus and trust that we fall into fear. That is why I always say keep your eyes on the Lord and meditate on His word day and night. The word of God is part of the armour that keeps us from falling into fear and being misguided by the lies of the enemy. That is why we always say you can listen to everything but test everything and every word against the word of God and the word of God will reveal the truth. 

So, today I say fear not but love completely. Love the Lord our God with all your heart and all your soul and live fearless and listen to His word.

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...
