What does it mean to follow Jesus? Jesus tells in Luke 14 of the man that invited all his friends to a feast and each had an excuse. He then told his servants to bring all the poor and blind and beggars until his house was full. Many are called but only few will answer. 

That is why Jesus said that you must take up your cross and follow Him. This means that you must turn your back to the world, be humble and follow His ways. Some will lose friends and even family and as Jesus says here in verse 8 that the cost can be great, yet the reward in heaven is beyond your imagination. 

Paul refers to life as a race that you must complete even though it can be very exhausting at stages. Jesus said if the world hates you, fear not for it hated Him first. This life will come at you with so many battles because you follow Jesus. 

Remember this: You are rooted in Jesus and you stand on a rock. Nothing can move you from His hand nor can anything destroy you. Take up your cross and follow Him completely. Fear not for the Lord your God goes before you. His rod and His staff bring comfort and He prepares a table in the presence of your enemies. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 21 October 2025

Sometimes I am confused and uncertain about situations or things that happen in my life. We all walk through life daily facing different challenges and battles. Sometimes they make sense and sometimes we are confused at what is happening. 

Sometimes we think God gave us this particular thing just to realise it was more like a test and we seem to have failed miserably. We question it and wonder why would God allow this when at first it seemed so right and then we realise no not so much. 

God brings seasons over our lives. Sometimes these seasons are testing our faith to make us realise what is still required to bring us into the next season where God needs us to be. God has compared Him to a potter that takes clay and forms it into a beautiful pot that can be filled with water and this water can bring refreshment to many. 

Jesus also said that springs of living water will flow from us. To be able to bring us in that place, God will continue to work on your life until you are ready. Be patient in times of trouble and challenges because every step leads to purpose. 

Have an awesome day.

I do not come to you with my wisdom but the wisdom and guidance of the Holy Spirit. I do not have the words to give you but only that which the Holy Spirit lays on my heart. I am nothing without God nor can I boast about anything I do for it is all God. 

This scripture lies heavily on my heart today. My dear friend when Jesus said He came to give life and life in abundance He destroyed sin and satan and gave us full authority over this world and its master. That is why this is so important that you know for you who love God the things He has in store for you are way beyond that you are able to do or imagine. 

This is part of hundreds of promises God makes in His Word that will bless your life and those around you. It is our success and blessings that others will be drawn to God. My dear friend, I cannot begin to tell you of the blessing that is in my life and on my life. It took some time for me to be here but now God can use me for I am exactly where He wants me to be. 

The same applies to you. Do not put God in a box but understand that when He moves the mountain trembles and rivers flows in dry lands. That is why we walk by faith. That is why we step into the unknown knowing God is for us. 

Do not fear but be strong and courageous. What is impossible for man is possible for God. Just give Him the right place in your life and go when He calls.  

Have an awesome day.

We are all called. When Jesus left to go up to heaven He made it clear that we should go out into the world and share the gospel with everyone. 

Jesus did not say to a certain group or culture or race, He simply said go to all the nations. All I guess means all. My dear friend, just as Jesus called James and John, He calls us. We are the light and the salt that infiltrates a dark and broken world. 

We are the voice and the joyful message. Jesus came to set the captives free and He is in heaven working through us by the amazing Holy Spirit. It is as much a privilege and our duty to share the Word of God. So, no matter where you are, be kind and love your neighbour. 

When God is for us, who can be against us and know this that no weapon formed against you will work. God is with you and He goes before you. Time is running out and the day of the Lord is getting closer. Do not be afraid to share the good news and tell people about Jesus. 

Have an awesome day.

We sing this song in our church with the words “Show me your face Lord, and I will make it to the end”. When the walls come down and the storm surrounds us we have the victory that lies in Jesus Christ. 

Every morning I step out of my prayer time I can feel God restoring me and just renewing me. Yes, the day brings many challenges but I can deal with them all by the grace and mercy God showers over my life and the strength that lies in His Word. 

My friend, never underestimate the power of prayer and the time you spend with God. There lies great peace in His presence and strength we so desperately need. Seek first the kingdom of God above all else. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 17 October 2025

 

This is just in my thoughts today. Not sure if it is me or the amazing way the Holy Spirit sometimes direct me, but it surely it is for you, my friend. 

God has a way to just rock our boats and set us on course. Walking out of the storm into deliverance and healing is beyond my own expectations. Now is the time to soar. Now is the time to run for God. 

Those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength. This is so important as we step into this day. It is simply this: With God there are no limitations. 

Stand firm in your faith as we walk by faith and not by sight. Walking and never be weary nor faint. If God is for us, who can be against us. No weapon formed against you today shall succeed. Be strong, my friend, because the battle is already won. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 16 October 2025

 

There is such a need amongst people for healing. We are moving closer into the end times and there will be a massive revival in this time. My dear friend, there is a hunger in every person to be set free from a life of burdens. 

I love how the passion translation says a tangible, supernatural power emanated from Jesus.  Now listen carefully: The same power that rose Jesus from the dead, is the same power that is in us. Jesus also stated clearly that we will do the same things He did and more. 

It all starts with love. When you love your neighbour you can show Jesus through your kindness. Jesus said that those who are weary and heavily burdened must come to Him. When you give your life to Jesus, He lifts up that worldly burden and replaces it with His love and grace. It is in Him that we find complete freedom, forgiveness and healing. 

This verse ends with all who came close to Him were healed. When you give your life to Jesus, He restores and heals. My friend, I pray that the same supernatural power flows into you today healing you from all that still hinders your life and your body. In the name of Jesus Christ. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 15 October 2025

 

Temptation comes in many forms. Sometimes it is something so familiar in our lives and we kinda see the red lights yet we consider all aspects and think that this is God’s plan. 

We even convince ourselves that this thing or situation or person is there because that is God’s plan. We can always find a hundred reasons why something will not be bad. When Jesus was tempted by satan, He consistently countered every attack by the Word of God. 

Thus analysing the situation and taking it to the Word to silence the enemy. That is what you need in your attacks. Seek God’s Word and put God first and then look at the outcome. When you turn to God away from the enemy’s lies you will ultimately resist his attack and he will have no choice but to leave. 

Be bold and be strong, my friend. The enemy is cunning and he knows your weakness. In Jesus lies our true strength and the only way to eternal freedom. 

Have an awesome day.

I do not know anyone that does not know this battle. I love how Pastor Don said it. You know every one looked at the size of the giant and feared him and David full of God’s anointing looked and maybe thought “This guy is so big, it is impossible to miss him”. What the world saw as an obstacle, David saw as opportunity. 

He knew who God is and he knew what God had already done in his life. He stood on the promises in the Word that God will never leave you nor forsake you and if He did it before, He will surely do it again. David knew God’s plan and He did not step into battle for his own glory, but for the glory of God. 

That is in essence the two most important things. Do not fear because we can do anything if God is for us and when we do, we should do for God’s glory. Nothing in this world and no battle will be too great. This is how God moves. In partnership with you. You go and God does. 

My dear friend, do not underestimate the power of God in your life nor be afraid to step into what God sets before you. He is faithful and He will stand on His promises and you will succeed no matter what the world says or thinks. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 13 October 2025

 

There are days when I think what a great job the enemy did. He tricks you into saying something or thinking something and when it is too late you realise your mistake. 

It is sad to know how many people seek the fall of Christians and they enjoy it when we go through tough times. What they do not know is that God put us through trials to teach us and prepare us so that when judgement comes we will not face the same end as those who rejected Jesus. 

Most important is that when we face these troubles with a joyous heart trusting God it will have an effect on others. They will see your joy regardless of your challenges and they will start to desire it too. Thus you become the very vessel that leads them to Christ. 

That is why Paul wrote “Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.”  Stand strong today and do not allow the enemy a place at your table. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 10 October 2025

 

As I reach the end of Jeremiah it shows clearly that all the destruction of Jerusalem is a confirmation of what God told Jeremiah at the start of his ministry. 

This directly confirms that we can have confidence that all God promises and says in His Word will be fulfilled. This should encourage and energise our faith. 

This scripture is significant for it shows that Jehoiachin’s preservation is confirmation of God’s redemptive purpose for when Jesus would come. 

There needed to be a royal line of the seed of David. When everything seemed hopeless God did not forget His promise. 

My dear friend, God never forget His promises nor will He ever forget you. He loves you way too much. Be confident in your faith and stand firm on God’s Word. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 09 October 2025

 

In this life you shall have tribulation. Jesus was never unclear about this. I do not know your battles today nor can I possibly stand in your shoes, but I know God knows. 

He knows where you are and He knows how you feel. The enemy is relentless and I am sure we can agree to that, but always know this: He who is in you are far greater than he that is in the world. The Lord is always close to you and always ready to restore and heal. 

God promises that when bad things come He will save us and He will not allow these to defeat us. 

Jesus said: “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!”  

Have an awesome day, my friend.

Today's thought - 08 October 2025

 

My dear friend, what do you see when you look into the mirror? He or she that looks back at you, how do you see that person. Who do you identify with. 

The Bible says if you cannot love your neighbour whom you can see, how can you love your Father God that you cannot see. How can you love others if you do not love the person in the mirror. 

When we identify with the world, the world will amplify so called flaws in our image. When we identify with Jesus Christ we identify with God who created you perfectly in His image. My friend, the Bible says you are wonderfully and fearfully made. 

God knew you and saw your life before you were born. You were chosen and you are not a mistake no matter the origins. God looks at you and He sees His wonderful and beautiful creation that He loves so much He was willing to sacrifice His only Son for you. 

You are what you say over yourself. I pray that God will rejoice and restore your soul and that He will lift you up today and show you the beauty of His creation in you. I pray that all bondage from your past life will be broken and that you will be set free from the lies of the enemy into the truth of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 07 October 2025

 

We all face challenges and do life the best we can. I love how David writes further that he who trust in the Lord that mercy shall compass him (mercy: covenant, loyalty and love). 

My dear friend, when darkness tries to pull us down we find shelter in the Lord most high. He will preserve us when we face darkness and He will fill us with His amazing joy. 

The enemy hates praise and worship so rejoice in the Lord and let God show you the ways you should go, because nothing can stop God’s will. Let us worship our Father and hear His guiding voice today. 

As I said before, be patient and let go and let God. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 06 October 2025

 

My dear friend, I want to share this with you today. In life we will have someone that disappoints us or hurt us or gossip and lie about us. Jesus had this all through His life. 

Judas who was His friend and disciple betrayed Him. Jesus knew this long before it happened and still loved him hoping that he will come to his senses. Who are we to hate our enemies or those who hurts us when Jesus not just preached it, but lived it. 

Yes God can move mountains and He can change any situation or heart. But moving a mountain is not just pick up and go. There is planning, things need to move or get out of the way. A new place must be prepared and then the mountain can move. 

Once moved the now open and barred area must be restored and rebuild and the land must heal. Do not lose hope if your mountain is still there. God moves in His time, because He considers all aspects which we miss. 

God is good and He only wants what is best for you. So love unconditional. Give without expectations and give more time to God. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 05 October 2025

 

The world we live in can be a very enticing with all the nice things we get today. It was not easy to remember Jerusalem when the Jews saw the splendour of Babylon. 

Living with sin all around us can affect our spiritual vitality. We can so easily be tempted by earthly ambition and pleasure that can be our downfall so quickly. From the beginning man was tempted by power en material things and today the enemy has a vast world of social media and access to the internet that can open a world of deceit in mere seconds. 

It is imperative that we do not love and desire the things of this world for they will perish and pass away just like Babylon. We must strive to set our affections on things above and put our treasure in heaven. 

Put God first and seek Him above all else because eternity is a very very very long time. A little bit of God is far greater than all this world can offer. Stand firm and seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit and His love and grace will carry you through it all. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 04 October 2025

 

In us lives the Holy Spirit. He is a kind and loving God that literally walks every step of the way with us. He is a Spirit of resurrection and restoration. 

He takes that which was damaged by the world and transforms it into a strong and courageous person. He renews and heals. He teaches and guides. 

He reveals and shows. He is a living person dwelling in you with feelings and emotions and thoughts. He shares and reveals God’s plan and He protects by warning us. He is a wonderful and amazing God. 

My dear friend, I cannot emphasise it more how important it is that you get to know the Holy Spirit. Seek Him and spend time with Him. He so desires to spend time with you. Be part of your day to day work and thoughts. 

You are His priority, so please also make Him yours. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 03 October 2025

 

The passion translation just opens Romans 8 so nicely. I just want to put this in your thoughts today: if God is for us, who can be against us. I think in this lies so much power. 

Consider for a moment you have the Holy Spirit living in you. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead resides in you. 

Now put this together - God dwells in me and if He is for me what can possibly get me down, hurt me, take from me, curse me, damage me, joke about me, gossip, lie or even destroy. 

If God was willing to give His only Son for your salvation, how much more will He not give that which is truly in your best interest. My dear friend, God is for you in every way and you are a son/daughter of the most high. Take on today knowing this and meditating on this every moment. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 02 October 2025

 

Our path is set and determined by God. In essence the cloud of witnesses is not primarily given for support or moral encouragement but also serves like witnesses  in courtroom for God’s redemptive purposes. 

Lay aside the sins that beset us especially unbelief and apostasy. Then we run the race. So, basically we should change or allow the Holy Spirit to change the way we think and walk by faith knowing God’s intensions and purpose is for good. 

God states it clearly in Jeremiah: For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 

My dear friend, come with me as we run the race set before us in faith knowing we already have the victory in Jesus and the authority to step on the attacks of the enemy as we push on with endurance and courage. 

Look up at the mountain. Where does your strength comes from? Your strength is from God who made heaven and earth. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 01 October 2025

 

Jeremiah gives us a beautiful picture here of conversion. In the mercy and grace of our Lord God, He brings about true contrition in the hearts of His people. 

They weep over their sins and return not only to their land but also to God. Conversion is not a movement of the body but a motion of the heart, turning away from sin in humility, brokenness, and grief and turning to the Lord in desire and hope. 

It is in that humble conviction that we find true forgiveness and salvation. When we help others in their conversions we should be careful that our intentions are for God’s glory and not our own. Nobody is too lost to be saved. 

It is so important that we love unconditionally and seek God’s will in everything. Sometimes the only Jesus people will see before conversion, is you. 

Be humble and kind and allow God to move in His time. 

Have an awesome day, my friend.
