I want to share this with you as I stand in the midst of what is probably one of my greatest battles yet. I have been writing to you about persistence for example keep asking and keep knocking. Here in Matthew 15 we read about this woman’s persistence to get Jesus to hear her and finally she kneeled before Him in worship and was willing to take even a little of His grace. 

Therefore Jesus said that her faith has lead to her daughter’s healing. We all have battles and we all face difficulties. The Lord reminds me that we will have tribulation but not to fear for He has overcome all. This is His Word for you: “He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.” 

Have an awesome day, my dear friend.

People have a way to challenge us. There is always one or two that you feel somedays you just want to shake them a bit. This scripture is one of my biggest challenges. I get upset at people for their lack or arrogance or even entitlement they have and I always have to ask the Holy Spirit for a clean and open heart towards them. 

Funny thing is that though we make it through today that same pre-conceived assumptions are back tomorrow. Jesus goes on here in Matthew 7 and says ““And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own?” This is so important. There are two things Jesus said that we should keep in our minds. 

One, change starts with you, so look at your own faults first before you look at others. Two, Jesus said you must even love your enemy and do good towards them. Love is the answer to all our issues with one another. 

When you correct someone out of love and concern for their wellbeing, then you display the love Jesus modelled. My dear friend, always try to see the good in other and strive to be better and guide them with respect and love. Sometimes that love is hard to hear but if you follow the Holy Spirit in it, it will have the effect needed. 

Have an awesome day.

It is so important that we fully understand what Jesus is saying here in Matthew 7. If we who are not good know to give good things to our children, then why do we doubt God. Jesus makes it clear that he who keeps on asking shall receive and he who knocks, for him the door will be opened. 

I am adding to what I wrote to you about yesterday. God is our Father and we are His sons/daughters, so how much more does He know to give us what we need. The only problem is we do not ask and when we ask we expect it to be like takealot. God is not takealot and His desires is not to see us fail or make wrong choices. 

He wants us to succeed and to prosper. The verse is clear “Keep on asking” and “Keep on knocking”. Not ask once and give up or knock once and leave, because everyone who seeks will find and everyone who knocks, the door will be opened for. My dear friend, trust God and commit your life to Him and all things will work out for good. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 20 November 2025

 

Faith is a small word but sometimes the hardest thing to do. How many times have we found ourselves before impossible odds and when it requires faith and patience we give up. We stand at the door and we knock and if Jesus does not open this door fast enough we give up and follow our own plans. How many times have we given up right before the change or breakthrough comes. 

Jesus said to His disciples “O ye of little faith”. He was upset because regardless of all He did, they still lacked faith. That is why Jesus said to the boy’s father “Anything is possible, if you believe”. Where are you today, my friend?  Are you about to give up? Is your challenges to much? Is your burden too heavy?  Are you losing hope and ready to give up?  Jesus is looking at you today and He is telling you that anything is possible. 

Have faith and be patient. Do not quit and do not give up nor stop asking God for what you need. Jesus spoke and the demons flees. He spoke and the universe was created. He is also speaking over your life. All His promises in His Word are for each of us. He will step in at the right time and He will give you the desires of your heart. Align yourself with His Word and His will and step into your inheritance. God will make all things turn out for good. 

Have an awesome day.

Ezekiel talks against idolatry here in chapter 6 and he tells Israel of God’s wrath against idol worship. By nature the human heart is idolatrous. It loves itself and the world instead of God and His will. Idolatry can take many forms and is often a secret sin. God is against idolatry and He deserves and demands our worship. We must guard ourselves against idolatry but also speak against it in the lives of others. The enemy has a way to sneak lies into our minds and to those around us. That is why it is again so important that we have and keep a close and intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit. He will always guide us in the right direction and steer us away from evil. My dear friend, we must remain humble in our journey and stand firm in our purpose. Always strive to be a light in darkness and give God His rightful place in your life. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 18 November 2025

I think that in everything we do we should seek to bring glory to God. As our holiday comes to an end I remind myself that we should delight ourselves in God and commit our ways unto Him. I guess an easier life would be great but that would not require a close relationship with God, but instead it would hinder our growth. It is not this life that we labour for but the life eternal with our Lord God. The life beyond this one. This life is the practise ground for the life that truly awaits us. If we strive to life in the kingdom of God already now we will see a glims of what awaits us in eternity. My dear friend, take time today and just be in God’s presence and wait patiently for Him to move in your life. Do not worry about tomorrow or desire that of the wicked, but seek God in everything, then He will bless you in everything. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 17 November 2025

Sometimes we all need to be a little readjusted. You know, reminded of where we should be instead of where we are headed. Sometimes we fail, we get angry and we kinda miss the plot. The enemy is cunning and patient and he will wait until you are comfortable and then they will set their trap. 

My dear friend, today the Holy Spirit reminds me that I am human and I have flaws but in the midst of my failures and when I am weak, God remains the strength of my heart and He is with me forever. It is important that we always seek God even when we made a mistake. It is important to be near Him and make Him your shelter when it is difficult. In the end you will rise and overcome and God will be glorified through your faithfulness. Be strong, my friend and do not allow the enemy to deceive you. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 16 November 2025

 

I can only proclaim the wonders and grace of God. His love and mercy lifts us up out of the pit and He sets our feet on a rock. He brings comfort when we are sad and joy when we are down. His blessings leaves me amazed and His grace surrounds me. He surely has put a new song in my heart and His joy is my strength. I continue to seek His will and walk in His path. As David wrote only goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. Even in the midst of our battles when the storm rages on, we will find comfort in the Lord our God. He restores and He will lead us in the paths of righteousness. My cup truly runneth over. 

Have an awesome day, my friend

Today's thought - 15 November 2025

 

The minute Jesus was baptised by John, the enemy came to tempt Him. Now important to note is that Jesus fasted for forty days and then the enemy came. This is important to understand that satan is patient and he will wait until you are at your lowest of weakest moment, then he comes. When you are tired and weary then he will bring all kinds of trials and temptations across your path. 

Now there are two things you need to consider here. One man shall not live by bread alone but from every Word that comes from God. Two when we are weak, we are strong so that the glory of God can resonate in our victories. Every day I battle against the enemy and he comes mainly when the day is near its end. Again I emphasise on the importance of our walk with the Holy Spirit. 

If I do not seek His guidance and strength in my trials, I will surely fail every time, but because we stand in a close relationship I remain standing and I defeat the enemy through the authority I have in Jesus Christ. The minute you gave your life to Jesus is the minute you stepped into war. Remember always, He who is in you is far greater than he who is in the world. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 14 November 2025

 

God was showing His people here in Ezekiel the consequences of their sin. It emphasises God’s patience with sinners and again how great His love and grace is. Although He gave many signs the message they conveyed was the same. 

Israel’s sin was going to be followed by judgement. When God speaks we should listen. He never changed His message and it was still the same as the one given over 800 years earlier to Moses. My dear friend, the wrath of God is coming to sinners. 

Let no one deceive you with empty words but share the gospel with as many as you can and if there are any sin or unforgiven grudges you carry, repent and let the Holy Spirit set you free. The harvest is great and labourers are few. 

Do not miss the opportunity so save a life. Speak Jesus to the mountains and to the streets and carry His message with you always. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 13 November 2025

 

Today the Holy Spirit just confirms again that God is with you and with His help you will do mighty things. You will conquer the enemy and succeed where it seems impossible. You will defeat the enemy and stand in victory because Jesus has already defeated the enemy. 

Rise mighty warrior for the God of heavens armies are with you and nothing can pull you from His love. As Jesus said you will trample on snakes and adders and you will do greater things than He did. My dear friend, we do not worship a mediocre God. We worship the creator of heaven and earth who by a mere Word created all. 

How much more can you accomplish by the Word of God. Be strong and courageous for streams of living water will flow from you. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 12 November 2025

 

My dear friend as someone who exercise a lot I understand the importance of nutrients in food for your body. You cannot exercise and never nourish your body. It will grow weak and exercise will be futile. Just as God tells Ezekiel to fill his stomach with bread, we need to fill our lives with the bread of life, the Word of God. 

His Word is a living book that builds and transforms our lives but most important it nourishes our souls. That is why you should spend time in the Word of God and meditate on it daily. It is a life giving source of strength and the very sword in your armour. That is why God said to Ezekiel to allow God’s Words to sink deep into his heart, because we need to nourish ourselves first before we can be nourishment to others. 

Spend as much time as you can in God’s Word and in prayer for it is the essence of our victories. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 11 November 2025

 

I am coming back to this verse today. You know that some days we have questions. We wonder about the path before us and have doubt that we hear God’s voice correct. We face storms and some battles seem to be endless. It almost feels as if you have reached the very end of it and yet it still continuous. 

Today the Holy Spirit just reconfirms that no matter the size of the waves and the strength of the wind in your storm amidst your valley, God is there. He is with you. He is that still small voice and even if it seems that you are standing alone, He will rise in your life and slain the wicked. He will speak into your storm and rebuke the wind and calm the waters. 

He will be your fortress and the wicked will fail. Delight in Him and He will give you the desires of your heart. This is a promise from God. Seek His kingdom and fill your day with His Word. He will save you and shelter you and as you commit to this, He will make it all come to pass.

 Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 10 November 2025

 

O how we love to hold on to our pain. We share our misfortunes and we cry out to God and we do not understand why we have to be burdened with this. 

My dear friend, funny enough most of our pain is due to choices we made outside God’s will and yes sometimes we are hurt by people close to us. A friend, a family member or a partner and this hurt can harden us to a world that could be helped. We can either learn from our mistakes and seek God’s wisdom or guidance or not. 

We can pass through our valleys and draw nearer to God and become a help to others or we can sit in self pity and cry. Jesus was mistreated, lied about, judged, abandoned, tortured and killed. Yes you will face many trials, but listen to God’s Word. I cry out to God and He restores my health. This means not only physical but emotional too. 

It is amazing how God heals my pain, my sorrow and my sickness. His grace is truly sufficient. The man I was a year ago and the man that writes to you are two complete different people. One was lost in his misery and the other is a son of God living in a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit. 

The one was doomed and the other is a blessing to a broken world by the grace and mercy of a loving God. It is so true, weeping may last through the night but joy comes in the mourning. Step out of your pity and into your freedom through the love of Jesus Christ. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 09 November 2025

We all know that there is only one way into heaven. Jesus came to set all people free from sin and to open heavens doors to us. He is the spotless lamb of God who gave His life for us so that we can step into our Father’s presence without blemish. 

I always loved Pauls words “To live is Christ and to die is gain”. Yes the obvious is that one day we all die and we will dwell forever in the house of the Lord, but last night the Holy Spirit showed me something else. When we give our lives to Jesus we die. Yes, we die from the old and worldly self into gain and that is a life filled by the Holy Spirit and walking daily in God’s grace and love knowing we are saved from a certain death into an eternal life. We died to this world and we inherit an eternal world. 

This does not mean one day we will see the kingdom of God. No my dear friend.  Once you give your life to Jesus and you step into your purpose and you live your life according to the Word of God, you will come to experience the kingdom of heaven now. God said it simply and I have written it so many times. Seek first the kingdom of heaven and its righteousness and all shall be given to you. 

Stop living in a poor and broken mindset and live in a forgiven, restored, child of God mindset. God look at you and He sees good life of hope and prosperity.   That is why Jesus said, look at the birds and God takes care of them, how much more valuable are you because He gave is only Son to save you. Why do we live in a guild driven I am not worthy lifestyle, because the enemy keeps lying to you. 

God can bless the little and turn it into abundance. He did it with two fishes and five loafs of bread. He turned a fruitless day of fishing into a catch so great they needed more boats. How much more will He do for you when you wait patiently on Him and live a life dedicated to Him.

 Have an awesome day.

The age old battle in the mirror has left so many seeking the wrong acceptance. Who do you see when you look into the mirror? Do you see fault and a need to change what is staring back at you or do you see someone made in the perfect image of God. How we see ourselves has a direct link to where our identity lies. 

Paul writes that the created thing cannot say to the creator why did he make it like that. We so like to question God and when it comes to imperfections we supposedly see, we listen to the enemy and we eat the apple. My dear friend, a worldly mentally will always leave a void that is impossible to fill. It is like a bottomless well, the more you put in the deeper it goes. You will never fill it because there will always be something else. 

When we accept Jesus He fills that void with His unlimited presence in our lives. Now our identity shifts from a bottomless pit to the glory of a living God. Our perspective changed and so our desires. We stop the need to please a world and seek to please and glorify God. Now we see through the eyes of a perfect God who makes perfect creations. Thus we see ourselves as His children and no more orphans of a broken world. 

My friend you are wonderfully and fearfully made meaning you are created with awe-inspiring care, uniqueness, and intentionality. It suggests that "fearfully" implies a sense of reverence and respect for God's powerful creation, while "wonderfully" points to your unique and distinct design, which is set apart. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 07 November 2025

 

They say that your eyes are the window to your soul. Jesus also states that your eyes give light to your body and healthy eyes fills the body with light. In Proverbs we read “Don’t eat with people who are stingy; don’t desire their delicacies.They are always thinking about how much it costs.”Eat and drink,” they say, but they don’t mean it.You will throw up what little you’ve eaten,and your compliments will be wasted.” 

People with darkness are worldly people who models a giving heart but in reality are deep and dark and money is their master. That is why Jesus went on to say in Matthew 6 you cannot have two masters. My dear friend, when we are Holy Spirit filled and God becomes the centre of our lives we will shine a light that flows with waters of blessing. Do not fear what tomorrow brings but seek always the Kingdom of God. 

Let you light shine in this dark world and share the love of Jesus Christ wherever you go. 

Have an awesome day.

Are you tired, my friend? Are you at a place where you feel weary and overburdened. Does it feel that even though you sleep, it does not feel enough. The battles that we face emotionally can be ten times more exhausting than any physical one. 

Stress and anxiety can burden you into a place of depression. Sometimes it is personal and sometimes it is work related, but emotionally you are at your end. Days seem to be just another day as you continue to stay above the water. 

My dear friend, God knows where you are and He sees your fight. You belong to Him and He paid a very high price for you. This means that you are so valuable to God and He will not let you be overwhelmed by your circumstances. 

He will hold you up by His right hand and guide you with His council. Your health may fail and your spirit may be tired, but God will be the very strength that will pull you from the pit back into the palace. He is your God and your redeemer and your saviour forever. 

Step into His presence and let Him revive you and you will be a force to be feared by the enemy. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 05 November 2025

Do not fear. There are so many times in the Bible that God clearly says do not be afraid. Fear creeps into our lives to divide us and to bring distance between us and God. 

Fear destroys faith and fear can be very overwhelming at times. Jesus said that in this world we will have tribulation but fear not for He already overcome this world. In essence fear is a liar and a tool the enemy uses to great effect, because we allow it into our lives. 

My dear friend, just as God told Ezekiel to not be afraid nor fear the words and threats this world bring, He is also telling you to not be afraid because you have been given  authority over the enemy. Jesus said look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 04 November 2025

It has been a few hard days. This time of year everybody is tired and it seems as though we are under siege from all sides. I am again in awe of how wonderful and amazing the Holy Spirit is. That soft small voice that guides me, reminds me, encourages me and just speaking into my heart is unbelievable. 

As we reach the end of this Psalm I have to admit, I love this one. My dear friend, what wonderful future awaits you. God will always step in and rescue you and He is your shelter against the attacks of the enemy. He is your fortress and He will bring you to still waters where you will find rest and peace. He will renew and restore you and He will comfort you. Trust in Him and wait patiently as we commit our lives to God and He will make it all work out for good. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 03 November 2025

 

I often read that scripture says we must wait patiently for the Lord. In this Psalm again God says wait patiently, but this verse begins with “Be still in God’s presence”. 

I do not think David meant be still by emptying your mind. I believe he meant to be still is to be in control of your thoughts and to calm down and be patient. That is why he continues and says to stop being angry. Now at some stage we all fell victim to the ways of the wicked. 

Maybe even now you face challenges because of the schemes of wickedness. David simply states that anger leads to harm and I think from his experience he knew what he was talking about. Then the Word says God will destroy the wicked and if you remain patient and wait on the Lord you will possess the land. In other words what was taken or lost will be returned. My dear friend, never underestimate the power of our God and the extend of His mercies and His wrath. 

He will move your mountain and He will restore you and heal you. Wait patiently for God and do not worry about evil. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 02 November 2025

 

We all find ourselves in valleys some days and we are burdened by the challenges and problems we face. I love this Psalm so that is why we are referring from it most of the week. 

I have written so many times that we are guided and directed by the Holy Spirit and again in this Psalm God clearly states that He directs our steps and very important is that He delights in every detail of our lives and finally He holds us by the hand. 

My dear friend, is this not just an amazing promise from our Father. Not only does He guides us but He loves and wants to be part of every detail of our lives. Just as I take my daughter’s hand down the escalator to keep her from falling, God also takes us by the hand to keep us from falling. God is good and His mercies and goodness will follow you all the days of your life. 

Have an awesome day.

Today's thought - 01 November 2025

 

I suppose content is one of the major battles so many face today. We see all the nice stuff and we desire. I love cars and a nice car always seems to have a bit of my attention. 

Sometimes our desires for more leads us into bad decisions and we end up in financial battle and then we seek God’s help but we got ourselves in this predicament. This is so powerful. The little that the righteous man has is better than the riches of many wicked. 

Ultimately this world is a mere moment before we enter into heaven. Nothing this world has is even close to what we will have in heaven. So, to be content with what you have will show God that He can trust you with little so He will trust you with more. Only desire the kingdom of God and all the rest will fall in place. 

Have an awesome day.
