Reflections of faith (Life) – 24 April 2019


Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? (John 11:25-26)

Eternity is a word we often use yet a concept we throw around as if we do not comprehend the fullness of it. I think sometimes our worldly nature inhibits us to fully understand the magnitude of eternity. When Jesus said here that He is life and if you believe and live in Him will never die, He confirmed that eternity is a reality for those who follow Him. He makes it clear that He is the resurrection and even if you are dead you will live. Sometimes we are dead even though we live, because we are so controlled by the world and the things of this world that we seek happiness in the worst of places and if we do not find it, we keep looking and we are never fully satisfied. We seek something with so substance and a world that devours the lost and the broken. The enemy has no heart and he is relentless in his mission to destroy and hurt as far as he goes. Jesus changed that when He gave His life. His resurrection became our resurrection, and in our resurrection, we rise above the norm to become children of light and children of God. His love and His grace creates purpose and on His foundation we become unsinkable vessels of hope. Living in Him and believing in Him makes us different and in our love, we break the chains of darkness and we become beacons that people can follow to God and finally to eternity. Jesus is amazing in my life. I may struggle in the storms of life, but I live in the grace and blessings of an all-powerful God. I fear no more, and I have an unbreakable joy that flows from within. I am free and I am a child of God. 

Have an awesome day. 

I love you, my friend in 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...
