Today Reminder (The end) – 6 December 2018


A reminder for today
Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. Let all your things be done with charity. (1 Corinthians 16:13-14)

The year is at its end and despite all the waves and storms it was a great year and a year where I lived in God’s grace and saw His blessings over my life. If we have to reflect back over the past year, I would prefer to look at the good. I am not a person that keeps a book of the bad and I prefer to forgive, forget and move on. We all make mistakes and we all have the same gift of forgiveness that is in Jesus Christ.

I am not a fan of Christmas and I have written to you before about the pagan holiday that is now Christmas, but I am a huge fan of Jesus Christ and if we want to honour Him, we should do so every day of the year. But Christmas gives us an opportunity to represent Jesus in front of the masses and to tell people of Him. It is a time of the year where the focus of everyone should be on Him and not the fat guy in the red suite. 

So, if this season sets the trend on love and forgiveness, then let us carry it into the new year and into our lives. Let is show Jesus to everyone tell everyone of His love and the gift we have in Him. Make sure that you teach your kids the real reason we can have December celebrations and what Jesus did on that cross. 

I am going to sign of for now as we are about to take a break away from the city and off to the beach. I am taking my kids on holiday and I am so looking forward to it. I love the ocean and it is a huge blessing that we are able to go this year.

So, I want to end 2018 with this. I love you, my friend and you remain in my prayers. Have an awesome Christmas and do not eat to much. Stand fast in your faith and do not be afraid to share it. Be strong, be so very strong and do not let the enemy fool you into bad choices. And most off all do all things with charity (love, caring, giving and kindness).

Be safe and if you are driving, I pray that the Lord will be with you and keep you safe. Enjoy the festive season and take a break. See you soon. 

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...
