91 Days of Victory – Day 83 (2026/05/21)

 

O God, do not be silent! Do not be deaf. Do not be quiet, O God.

Psalm 83 is an urgent prayer for God to rescue Israel from a coalition of hostile neighbouring nations conspiring to annihilate the nation. Writen by Asaph, the psalm is an imprecatory prayer—a call for God’s divine justice and judgment upon enemies.

Now there are three main parts that we can look at

Part 1. The Conspiracy (Verses 1-8)

The psalm opens with a plea for God to stop being "silent" while enemies plot. It lists ten ancient groups (such as Edom, Moab, the Ishmaelites, and Assyria) that have formed a confederacy. Their explicit goal is to destroy Israel entirely so that its name is "remembered no more."

Part 2. The Appeal to History (Verses 9-12)

The psalmist reminds God of how He previously delivered Israel from overwhelming odds. He references historical victories from the Book of Judges, such as the defeat of the Midianites (Gideon) and the rout of Sisera and Jabin. The logic is simple: God defended His people in the past, and He can do it again.

Part 3. The Plea for Justice (Verses 13-18)

Asaph asks God to scatter the current enemies like "chaff before the wind" and let them experience the overwhelming force of divine justice.

While the psalm asks for destruction, its ultimate purpose is theological. The writer concludes that the humbling of these enemies is to reveal the Lord's supreme sovereignty: "That they may know that You alone, whose name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth." (v. 18)

It serves as a reminder that God controls the destiny of all nations and protects His people even when surrounded by seemingly impossible threats.

Now there is a bit of an eschatological Interpretation. In modern prophetic eschatology (the study of end times), some biblical scholars interpret Psalm 83 as a prophecy of a future, end-times coalition of Middle Eastern nations that will attempt to attack and conquer modern-day Israel.

What do we take from this? I want you to remember no matter the difficulty we face God is always there in the midst of it all to help us and to pick us up from the mud and the mire. God is working to make all things work out for good even when we can’t see it. We must live each day knowing the Lord will return soon and that we steer away from the things that will keep us from God and desire the things that pulls us closer.

Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 82 (2026/05/20)

 

Give justice to the poor and the orphan; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute. We are reading Psalm 82 and in essence it serves as a divine critique of corrupt leadership. Leaders are appointed by God and placed in these positions by the Lord. What they do with that responsibility boils down to their choices and decisions they make.

It is imperative that we honour our leaders even is they are corrupt or bad. Romans 13:1-2: Instructs us to be subject to governing authorities, noting that "there is no authority except that which God has established."

1 Peter 2:17: Commands us to "Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honour the emperor". (Written during the reign of Roman Emperor Nero, showing that honour is expected regardless of a leader's righteousness.) 

These scriptures are best understood alongside teachings of humility, such as Philippians 2:3, which tells us to "value others above yourselves". Biblical submission and honour are generally practiced within the boundaries of following God's commands, as leaders ultimately answer to Him for how they shepherd those under their care.

This brings us back to Psalm 82 and in context it connects us to the New Testament (John 10:34–36), where Jesus quotes Psalm 82 to defend His claim as the Son of God. He uses the psalm's premise - that humans who received God's word and authority were called "gods" - to argue that His own claim to be God's Son is valid and consistent with the Hebrew Scriptures. 

Now, when leaders are bad or wicked we should remain respectful towards them, but we can lay our concerns before God and ask Him to guide our leaders in their tasks and decisions. Ultimately God can remove any leader or person from their position of authority when He wants. We as Christians must remain obedient to the Word and honour our leaders regardless. Honouring our leaders creates spiritual growth, peace and shows respect to God’s established order and in this lies a reward in our own growth and what God commands us to do. That also has a reward in our eternal life with the Lord.

My dear friend, we must honour our leaders and respect them and then we will see God’s hand upon them and in our own lives.

Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 81 (2026/05/19)

 

But I would feed you with the finest wheat. I would satisfy you with wild honey from the rock. True worship goes beyond singing; it requires a heart that is yielded and obedient to God's word. Psalm 81 is a two-part psalm of Asaph designed for festival worship (likely the Feast of Tabernacles), focusing on themes of joyful praise, remembering God’s deliverance from Egypt, and an urgent appeal to abandon idols and listen to God. It contrasts God’s desire to bless and satisfy His people with the consequences of their disobedience and stubbornness. 

The Psalm has strong reminder to steer clear of idolatry and to know that God is the only God. It reminds us to place our trust in God and He will look after us. In verse 10 it states, “Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it with good things”.

Now here is what the Holy Spirit wants you to see today. God is a God of salvation, and He is a jealous God. It is made clear to us in the ten commandments when God says, “You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods”.

Idolatry has many forms and here are some examples:

1. Literal and Physical Idolatry

• Worship of False Gods: Worshipping pagan deities of surrounding nations, such as Baal, Ashtoreth, and Molech.
• Image Worship: Fashioning and bowing to physical idols carved from wood, stone, silver, or gold, or crafting molten figures like the Golden Calf.
• Host of Heaven: Worshipping celestial bodies, including the sun, moon, and stars.
• Occult Practices: Seeking guidance from or worshipping through mediums, divination, or astrology (e.g., Deuteronomy 18:10-12). 

2. Spiritual and Subtle Idolatry

• Covetousness and Greed: The New Testament explicitly equates greed and covetousness with idolatry (Colossians 3:5), because it places material wealth and cravings above God.
• Self-Worship and Fleshly Desires: Making a "god" of your own physical appetites or desires (Philippians 3:19).
• Syncretism: Attempting to blend the worship of the true God with the practices and idols of surrounding worldly cultures. 

3. Cultural and Relational Idolatry

• Trusting in Human Power: Depending on military might, political alliances (e.g., trusting in Egypt rather than God), or human leadership rather than God’s provision.
• Worldly Power and Prestige: Elevating status, fame, and secular power to a place of ultimate importance in your life. 

These are the pitfalls in life that steer us away from God and sometimes they are small in our eyes but not in God’s eyes. My dear friend, the Holy Spirit wants to remind us that we should take our relationship and our worship with God very serious. The time of the Lord’s return is coming, and we should not be like the five virgins who was waiting for the bridegroom but was unprepared for his arrival. While the foolish virgins are away, the wedding begins and the door is shut. When the foolish ones return, they are locked out and the bridegroom tells them he does not know them. Because no one knows the exact day or hour of Christ's return, we must stay spiritually vigilant and maintain our faith and our hope. This cannot be borrowed from someone else. It must be from our own obedience and desire for more of our Lord and God.

Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 80 (2026/05/18)

 

Strengthen the man you love, the son of your choice. Psalm 80 is a heartfelt communal lament, likely written during a time of national crisis (such as the fall of the Northern Kingdom) to ask God to restore, Shepherd, and protect Israel, depicted as a damaged vine. Its central theme is a plea for revival through God's grace, highlighted by the recurring refrain: "Turn us again to yourself, O God. Make your face shine down upon us.
Only then will we be saved” (NLT).

The verse that stood out today is 17 where the writer says that God must strengthen the man (woman) He loves. Today I am writing to you but I think mainly to myself. As time progress we have our ups and our downs. It is a daily thing as the enemy remains relentless in his attempts to get us to fail or fall or lose hope.

We have our battles and some days we have many little foxes (as they call them) that tries to alter our mindset or our direction. So, as the Psalmist writes “Strengthen the man you love” I am turning to God, humbled by His grace and mercy, to give me and you the strength to continue. To face the attacks and the battles we have. To stand strong and to finish the race. To be of good cheer and to find our joy in the Lord our God. To continue to seek Him and to stay on our course and obey His commands.

As this Psalmist writes that God is the shepherd I am reminded by the words of Jesus, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep”. Here in John10 Jesus refers to Himself as the good shepherd that will not run when a wolf attacks like a hired hand. His sheep knows His voice and they know Him. In other words, God says that He will never leave us nor forsake us and if He is for us who can be against us. When the enemy comes to destroy, He will not run away but He will step in and protect His flock. He has already given His life for us, so why would He stop now.

My dear friend, we do not worship a mediocre God. We worship the creator of heaven and earth. Do not be dismayed but in all things give praise to God and trust His will and His way. Seek His voice and listen when He directs you. All things will work out for good, because He came to give us life.

Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 79 (2026/05/17)

 

Help us, O God of our salvation! Help us for the glory of your name. Save us and forgive our sins for the honor of your name. This morning I am thinking of people that are new to our faith or newly restored. When we encounter Jesus Christ, our lives change and we become a new person. Transformed from our old way of life into a new way of living and thinking. Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 3, “So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord - who is the Spirit - makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image”.

You see we are transformed not just once but it is a daily process. We are transformed from a worldly type of living into a Jesus type of living. Now when I say a daily process I mean we should not think once we have given our lives to Jesus, we are now in the clear. Now the enemy knows a new Christian can be an easy target, even someone who renewed their life for Jesus can sometimes still be an easy target.

I have written to you before on how important your relationship with the Holy Spirit is. Look what Paul writes in Romans 8, “Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will. That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God”.

The only way we can overcome our sinful nature, resist the devil and please God is through the Holy Spirit. It is by committing time in His Word and in prayer. It is walking in a day-by-day relationship with the Holy Spirit. It is by renewing our minds on a daily basis through scripture and finally by faith in Jesus and trusting Him in all things.

It is by our faithful seeking and our obedience in His Word that we are transformed not just once, but every day. It is by living like this that we find true peace and power in the Holy Spirit, to stand when facing impossible odds and to continue in the midst of our storms. It is by this that we will receive the reward for running the race to the end.

My dear friend, I know sometimes all of this can be difficult and some days it feels impossible. Believe me we all face days like that and days where we just do not want to do anything. It is in these times when you are at the end of your rope and you are tired and you do not feel like this, that we must above all turn to God. It will calm your heart, align your goals and set you back on your path.

I just want to say this to you today – I know what it feels like, I know how tough things can be and I know how hard life can be, but I also know how amazing God is. How wonderful His love is and how He can take all that was intended to destroy us and turn it around. I know the pit is deep and I know how heavy guilt can be. That is why Jesus said come to me all who are heavily burdened. Come to me when you can not go on. Come to me when you heart is broken. Come to me when the doctors give you the bad news. Come to me for I have come to give you life and life in abundance.

Come with me today as we lay our lives at the altar and just seek Him with all our hearts and trust Him in all that we do.

Have and awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 78 (2026/05/16)

 

But all they gave him was lip service; they lied to him with their tongues. Their hearts were not loyal to him. They did not keep his covenant. We are reading Psalm 78 and these verses just stood out this morning. It reminds me of 1 Samual 16:7, But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart”.

My dear friend, we have looked at Hannah and David and how they chose to go to God with their troubles and once they gave it to Him, it was settled and they trusted Him for the outcome. In this world we will always have three kinds of Christians, warm, lukewarm and cold. The first is the Hannah/David kind that is on fire for Jesus and walks each day working (fighting) to obey God and follow His Word and His voice, the second are the ones as we see in Psalm 78:36-37, that gives lip service. Their outer look and the things they say makes people believe that they follow Jesus, but it is mere lip service and an image they try to project, yet their hearts are empty and wicked. Then the last group are those who either rejected God and became atheists or those who follow other gods or idols.

I want to turn your focus to Revelation 3:16, So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Now this is quite an eye opener. God is not just saying He does not like lukewarm Christians, He says He will vomit them out of His mouth. I have this image of something that made you sick and your entire body now rejects this, and, in its defence, it causes you to throw up and vomit this out in an attempt to rid the body of it and restore you. This is not a nice reaction and at some point, we all were sick, so I am sure you know how it feels. In essence I get the idea that a lukewarm Christian kind a makes God sick to the stomach.

It is important that we refrain from becoming passive in our walk with God to protect us from becoming lukewarm, but in all things seek the Kingdom of heaven and its righteousness above all else. It is vital that we seek the Holy Spirit and His council and comfort, and steer clear of worldly solutions and continue to focus on things above and not on material things.

Remember what Jesus said, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also”. So, treasure your time with God and your time in the Word. Treasure His guidance and His will. Treasure His love and His mercy and treasure His kingdom, for life is but a mere moment.

Meditate on these verses from John 15 and let the Holy Spirit make it part of your life – “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing”.

“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you”.

Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 77 (2026/05/15)

 

You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples. I wrote to you about Hannah yesterday and how she restraint herself from turning to the world, but instead she turned to God. In the same manner David used the same principal in his life. When the woman and children was captured by the Amalekites David was greatly distressed and he turned to God. In 1 Samuel 30 we read, “But David found strength in the LORD his God” and then he inquired of the Lord what he must do. It seems simple but so many will not turn to God first and seek their strength in Him. When the world comes collapsing down on you, I want to actually share a five-point plan with you that we see in scripture. Now keep in mind both Hannah and David refused to allow the negative words of people (the world) to impact them, both turned to God and both after they went to God acted on faith. Hannah was sad no more and stood on God promises, David went and defeated the Amalekites. How do we even begin to do this, here is my advice as per the Holy Spirit. Also note, this is a daily thing. Do it every day. 

1.)Renew your mind. Romans 12:2 says “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will”. Here we see by allowing the Holy Spirit to transform us and renew our minds and thoughts we will be able to see or hear God’s will.  

2.)Put on a new self. Ephesians 4:23-24 says, “to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness”. After you ask for renewal of your mind, embrace the new self that the Holy Spirit creates in your spirit and allow Him to speak into your life all day. In other words, when you receive transformation allow the Holy Spirit to guide you as you step into your day and run from negativity. 

3.)Take captive your thoughts. 2 Corinthians 10:5 says, “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ”. Now once we have been transformed and renewed, we now take captive our thoughts by not allowing negative words to impact us. Steer clear of negative people and even our own thoughts must be filtered so that we hear, think and speak life and not negative dead words, because that a man thinketh, he is.

4.)Focus on the good. Philippians 4:8 says, “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things”. Think that basically says it. 

5.)Have an eternity mindset. Colossians 3:2 says, “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things”. Focus on God, on being obedient. Focus on His Word and the promises in it. Focus on who God is and what He can do. Focus on what lies ahead not what lies behind. Focus on heaven and life in eternity with Jesus and not on the decay of this world. Focus on what God has done already, be grateful and listen to that still small voice and praise God for what He is going to do. Stand on it and believe it. 

My dear friend, try this basic example every day and every day you will experience growth in faith, increase in peace and abundance in Christ. Have an awesome day. 

91 Days of Victory – Day 76 (2026/05/14)

 

Oh, thank you, sir!” she exclaimed. Then she went back and began to eat again, and she was no longer sad. Hannah was not able to have children and her husband’s other wife, Peninnah, taunted her year after year. This caused her a lot of sorrow even to the point where she did not eat. Even though her husband loved her very much, she felt worthless because she could not have children. Hannah went to the Lord and with a broken heart she brought her deep anguish to God. Eli who was close by saw her and thought she was intoxicated and rebuked her. Instead of retaliating she honoured him as the prophet and explained her deep grieve. He in turn blessed her and when she got up, she walked away not being sad anymore. In essence I want to point out a few things. 1) She was ridiculed for her inability to do something 2) She did not complain to the world or her husband, she took it in prayer to God 3) Even when confronted she remained humble and respected other. There is a deep message in her actions because she did not remain in her despair, but she took it to God. She did not look for worldly comfort but instead sought God’s help. After she gave it to the Lord she stood up in faith and trust in God knowing He is the God of the impossible and He will hear her prayer and change her circumstances. How many times do we complain about the smallest thing and how many times to we pray to God for help, yet we remain unhappy and we keep complaining. It reminds me of Jesus when He said in Matthew 17, Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me”. How often do we pray with no faith expecting God to be like MacDonalds and just jump at our order. My dear friend, when God moves (rises), He will judge the wicked and save the afflicted. He is always with us and He hears all our prayers, and He sees all that we go through. Why do we struggle with trust? Remember Pauls words where he said that he is contempt in abundance and in nothing. He rejoiced in his affliction because He knows God can change anything. Come with me today as we lay all our afflictions and troubles before God and as Hannah, when we stand up, we will not be sad anymore but instead rejoice in the Lord our saviour. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 75 (2026/05/13)

 

We thank you, O God! We give thanks because you are near. People everywhere tell of your wonderful deeds. You know we can all sit in a corner and cry about life. We can tell people about the incredible unfairness of it and how we have been delt the worst cards and our lives are just unbearable. Oh, how hard life is, in fact I am heading for the bottle right now, because I am fed up and I just can’t go on. Maybe that is a little extreme but believe me I hear this type of sadness in my office from time to time. The funny thing is that in most of these terrible painful stories the reason for it is simply decisions that people made. Simple choices that got them there and now they are shocked at the outcome. Now, please forgive me if I am sounding a bit emotionless here, I am getting to a point. I was asking the guys on the street why they are there and what type of work they did or can do. Now the sad thing is all of them said – drugs. They were doing well and then they tried the first thing and before they could help, they were addicted. 

These guys are on my heart, and I try to bring them something to eat when I work in this area and it is actually a sad truth that so many people lose so much because of drugs and alcohol in fact sin is purply there to destroy us. The thing is, they are stuck on the street because they have lost hope. They accepted the fact that they are not worthy of a better life and this is where they will live the rest of their lives. The truth is, this is a lie and the very lie the enemy feeds so many of us. I love Paul’s words in Philippians 4, “Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”.

In other words, he is always content regardless if he has little or a lot or even nothing. Now, the world sells the need message. You need this and you need that and if it becomes too much to handle here is a pill or something stronger. Why? Because the enemy works with a jail sentence mentality and Jesus works with a life in abundance system. Why a jail sentence? It is simple the world tries to hook you with stuff you do not need, addictions and debt. When you are caught, they will use the one to open the other with the goal to destroy you and finally you could also end up losing everything. I have experience in this because through sin I lost my wife, my house, my kids and a lot of money. 

What is the difference between me and the guys on the street. Now I am not boasting about anything. The only thing I can boast about is God’s grace and His simple amazing promise that He will never leave us nor forsake us. Now in that I found redemption, because I turned to Him when I am at my end and nowadays basically all the time. It does not make me a walk on water Christian, it makes me accountable to God. 

So, when I fall, I go to Him, when I win, I go to Him, when I am sad, I go to Him and when I am lost, I go to Him. I put my hope and my trust in Jesus Christ, now in this lies the secret, because in Him we will have content in in that we will have abundance, because our focus is Jesus and not the world and then He will bless us increasingly and abundantly above all we can think or imagine. 

My dear friend, life may be hard, but I stand on these words that Jesus said: “Be of good cheer, for I have overcome this world”. Nothing will get me down for I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me even when I do not feel like it. Know this, you are able to do so much more because of He who is in you. Just trust Him. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 74 (2026/05/12)

 

Remember your covenant promises, for the land is full of darkness and violence! Psalm 74 has quite a sombre feel to it when you read it. The writer asks God to remember His people, and you will get the feeling that they are in turmoil. So, Psalm 74 is a community lament, most likely written after the Babylonian destruction of the Temple in 586 B.C., where the writer asks God why He has abandoned His people and pleading for Him to intervene against enemies destroying His sanctuary. It acts as a model prayer, combining deep sorrow with faith by recalling God's past, powerful acts as creator and saviour. Now we can be hopeless some days and this Psalm might not uplift your spirits today and yes; it may even bring more sadness to your day but let’s stop there for a moment and let the Holy Spirit show us something we are missing. Two things stand out 1) It teaches us to bring our complaints and suffering to God, basing our requests on God's character and promises rather than our personal merit, 2) The message in here emphasizes that even when God feels distant or silent, He remains sovereign and faithful. Now I want you to look at the two verses the Holy Spirit highlighted, “Both day and night belong to you; you made the starlight and the sun. You set the boundaries of the earth, and you made both summer and winter”. I think the point I am trying to make is that God is still God. He is the creator of all, and He holds the universe in His hands. Who am I that He thinks or me and who am I that He should be concerned about me and who am I that He seeks time and fellowship with me. I am but a mere man with more mistakes than any other, yet in His mercy He makes me more and, in my obedience, and desire for Him I become whole through His grace and His love. He is never far, He is always with me even when I am in darkness. This morning I do not want you to focus on the bad and the hurt and the problems and the trials you may face, but I want you to focus on the life-giving God that with a mere Word created everything. How much more can His Word change your life. Come with me today as we just allow the Holy Spirit to guide us, fill us and be with us. Talk to Him as much as you can for, He so desires your attention and time. Share it all with Him and let Him speak into your life today. My dear friend, remember all things will work out for good and God will take what is intended to destroy us and turn it into good. Just let Him in and let Him fill you with His peace and His love. It is going to be an awesome day. You are blessed, my friend and He who is in you is far, far greater than he who is in this world.

91 Days of Victory – Day 73 (2026/05/11)

 

But as for me, I almost lost my footing. My feet were slipping, and I was almost gone. Monday morning and my work looks like this mountain range that lies before me. It seems as if the project keeps getting bigger and bigger as it continues. So, you can imagine my frustration has two main sources because on the one hand this project and the scope of it is much bigger and more complicated than what I could anticipate. The battle for my little girl also seems to have no end as days turn into weeks and weeks into months. I wish I could just go to bed and when I wake it was just one terrible dream and it all is back to normal. Some days I am fine and some days I am not. I guess it is how our emotions have its ups and downs and as the enemy gets a blow in when I least expect it. I am not someone that will go sit in a corner and cry. I have always been a fighter, and I guess it had two outcomes. Sometimes it is good and sometimes it is not so good, but in essence I can stand when the storms come. Now this is not because I am strong, it is simply because some days I turn to God with all my troubles and let Him guide and strengthen me and some days I try it on my own - these days I fail always. Just as the Psalmist writes, “I almost lost my footing”, I actually do and then I need to go “back to the drawing board” and realign myself with my Father and with His Word and ask the Holy Spirit for help and obviously to forgive me for grieving Him – again. Today I pray this over us, my friend – “My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever”. Do not give up when the storms overwhelm you and do not lose hope. Come with me as we seek God and seek His wisdom and His guidance. Let us meditate on this scripture today and ask the Holy Spirit to make it part of us. Have an awesome day, my friend.

91 Days of Victory – Day 72 (2026/05/10)

 

It is Mother’s Day today and we celebrate all the moms, stepmoms, moms to be, grandparents, foster moms and all woman who cares for children all over the world. To me Mother’s Day represents love in essence and the connection a mother has with her children. This morning I want to celebrate the Lord our God for providing moms even when the mom who has the biggest impact in your life is not your real mom due to circumstances. It is love that is the important thing here because everyone wants to be loved and cared for and even when your biological parents missed that privilege, your Father in heaven will not. It is important that we see our Father as the creator of love for He is love and the world will try to steal that from you and harden your heart through abuse or neglect or abandonment. God is not man nor is He a distant God. Sin and circumstances give us that impression when in fact He is always present and always thinking about you. Let us stand today and, “Praise the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does such wonderful things”. He gave His only Son to save us from this world. It may seem difficult to understand but that is exactly what the enemy wants you to believe. So, my prayer for you is simply, “Lord I lift up my friend to you today and I ask that you will fill them with your love and your peace and that all the hurt and pain that could still linger in their hearts will be healed and removed. I pray a clean and pure heart over them and that your love will not only touch them today but change their lives completely. I pray your promises and favour over them, and I ask that you will restore them and bless them so that they will always be aware of your presence. Please guide them and protect them in the mighty name of Jesus”. Have an awesome day, my friend.

91 Days of Victory – Day 71 (2026/05/09)

 

Be my rock of safety where I can always hide. Give the order to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. In the midst of my battles and when I am overwhelmed with the entire situation, I praise the Lord my God today with all my heart. He truly is the rock of my safety and the fortress of my salvation. He is the peace that surrounds me when I get upset at the situation and He is the strength I have when I feel I cannot do this anymore. He lifts me up when I am at my last and He restores all that I have lost. He is my hope and my salvation, the fire that burns in me. When it feels that I am alone in this fight He calms my storm and He brings people into my life that loves me and uplifts me. He is my compass when I feel lost and my boldness when I walk into this day. He guides me, teaches me and encourages me. His Word is truly a light to me feet as He so lovingly confirms His promises and His covenant with me each day. He blesses my days and increases me when I feel broken and miserable. He wipes my tears and He sees my heart. He knows my struggle and He knows my dreams. He knows what I need and He hears my prayers. He heals my brokenness and He rebuilds me when I feel unworthy. He is the breath in my lungs and the power in my hands. I am grateful for all that He does, for my health, my finances, my work, my friends, my Pastor, my church, my family, my house and all the things He so gracefully entrusts me with. I am grateful for you, my friend for the privilege to share, give and encourage you. Come with me today as “I will praise your mighty deeds, O Sovereign LORD. I will tell everyone that you alone are just. You have allowed me to suffer much hardship, but you will restore me to life again and lift me up from the depths of the earth. You will restore me to even greater honor and comfort me once again”. Have an awesome day, my friend.

91 Days of Victory – Day 70 (2026/05/08)

But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, “God is great!” This morning we spoke about God’s promises and how He makes a promise to us but in the process, we are tested for our obedience and our faith. In essence God needs to see if we take this promise serious and do we commit to it even when our world collapses and we face many trials and problems. Reading Psalm 70, and I am going to use myself as reference I can see how God just reconfirms His promise in me. Now we know I am in battle for my daughter. I have been falsely accused just as I was when I faced divorce. This time only with regard to my little girl in a very bad way. If you love your children and all that you do is to protect them and work (even at you own demise) to see them more, and then someone comes and accuse you of hurting them, well I can tell you it is probably the worst thing any person can accuse a father of or do to someone, especially falsely for their own selfish benefit. I have stepped into what God has been calling me to do and when the enemy tries to destroy me, I turn to God and to the people that disciple me seeking guidance and help. This is against the plan of the enemy but exactly what God teaches. This is His will so that I stay the course and seek His guidance and His help through His Word and through people that I walk closely with. This helps me with accountability but also reinforces my faith and the fire that burns in me. Yes, when the world collapses around me I turn to God and in His promises, He stated a few things this morning that just reconfirms His promise. 1.) May those who try to kill me be humiliated and put to shame. 2.) May those who take delight in my trouble be turned back in disgrace (verse 2). 3.) Let them be horrified by their shame, for they said, “Aha! We’ve got him now!” (verse 3) 4.) And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The enemy you see today you will not see again. My dear friend, what I need you to take from this and make it your own is this. The enemy will not get to you, he will not bring you down and he will be removed from your life. Stand firm on God’s Word reading it and meditating on it day and night. Speak to the Holy Spirit and tell Him what you face and ask Him for wisdom, guidance and deliverance from it. Trust God at all times and trust the process, for you will see God’s salvation in your life and live, my friend, for the Kingdom of God and seek the Holy Spirit at all times. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 69 (2026/05/07)

 

O God, you know how foolish I am; my sins cannot be hidden from you. Psalm 69 is an amazing Psalm and as I read through it, I see so much of what I battle with, and I can relate with David. I want to pause at verse 5 for a moment today and just remind you about grace. I will take myself as I explain and if it rings a bell well, then grace will abound. Isn’t it interesting that many people when confronted or proved wrong in an argument turn to swearing and insults and few will have the guts to admit they are wrong and apologise. Now, when I confronted a fellow driver on the road because he skipped a red robot and drove in right in front of me and when I pressed on the horn, he reacted. His argument is that there are two lanes thus it justifies the wrong and going over a red light is acceptable. Now how many times do we try to justify sin when we know we are wrong. We would look for a loophole or seek a different opinion so that just maybe somewhere someone would have empathy with our situation. In other words, we try to tell the Bible that the Bible might not be correct in this case the writer (The Holy Spirit) meant it differently when in fact He is the one condemning us of our mistake. Again, why argue it instead of accepting it as wrong and apologising to God and the Holy Spirit and seek forgiveness from the Lord and most importantly work to not fall in the same trap again. I have nothing against standing up for what is right and taking on someone that is wrong, as long as we do it respectfully and with Biblical authority. I appreciate correction and criteria as long as it is to better me and to show me my short cummings. It is imperative that we do not react in the same manner the offended person does and even if it is a waste of good air, it will leave a seed and maybe someday carry fruit. We should never underestimate Holy Spirit guidance in a stern word to redirect someone but on many occasions it may seem trivial. I have written to you about this before and I am repeating myself but in essence I need us (me included) to not take the guidance, counselling and conviction of the Holy Spirit lightly but to embrace it and seek more of Him in our journey ahead. That is why I pray boldly; “But I keep praying to you, LORD, hoping this time you will show me favor. In your unfailing love, O God, answer my prayer with your sure salvation. Rescue me from the mud; don’t let me sink any deeper! Save me from those who hate me, and pull me from these deep waters. Don’t let the floods overwhelm me, or the deep waters swallow me, or the pit of death devour me”. Have an awesome day, my friend. It will all work out for good, just keep trusting the Lord.

91 Days of Victory – Day 68 (2026/05/06)

 

But let the godly rejoice. Let them be glad in God’s presence. Let them be filled with joy. Rejoice is the centre of this verse in Psalm 68. Have you ever had a day when you woke up you were already overwhelmed at what lies ahead and knowing the hours available to you and the schedule that lies ahead it all seems impossible. You are frustrated with work, traffic, laundry, your finances and at a point it all seems to bundle together and hit you all at the same time. You are overwhelmed and frustrated and it feels as if this also is all at once. My dear friend, you are not alone. I have many of these days and honestly, I wish the answer was a simple one or even a five-point plan to financial freedom. You know like those guys on YouTube that sells you the idea that if you follow these steps, you will be a millionaire. And then there are steps to perfect health and complete peace and mental stability. I am sorry but my wires are never in line, nor do they go through a day without a few sparks and near shutdown. Coffee is not the answer, drugs and alcohol is even further away from the answer and jumping is going to cause even more problems because I will probably just break a leg and then I am disabled. So, NO! Bad idea(s). So, where is the answer? Will you believe me when I say – Jesus Christ. Let me give it some personal context. Now we all know the scripture – “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour”. Plus, we all know this one – “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy”. Now would you believe me if I tell you that the strategy of the enemy, although cunning, has not changed in seven thousand years. Here is food for thought; the minute you were born a familiar spirit was allocated to you to get to know you. Now think about that for a minute, he knows what makes you angry, upset, hurts you, overwhelms you, frustrates you, bothers you, makes you fall, your weaknesses, your needs, your faults, your past for that matter and what makes you happy. Now with that in mind why would he wait for the right moment when he can start the plan days before you get to the point of giving up. So, yes, his plans are the same always, he just tries a different (and most times the same) angle. Then I guess we all know this scripture – “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you”. So, how do we do that, the whole resist and flee part. Well, we have an example in the Bible, and we find it in Matthew 4 where Jesus was tempted by satan. Jesus simply said - “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God ” (Deuteronomy 8:3). How do we do that, well the answer lies in our relationship with the Holy Spirit. Yes, we can get angry and overwhelmed and complain and talk to people about this and it will probably make it worse. The moment you realise this is an attack on you, then and immediately turn to the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, you will find satan does not like that. I simply say – “Holy Spirit please help” and then I explain myself even though I know the Holy Spirit already knows all of my issues but it helps so that I finally get to this point (and yes we all know this one) – “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus”. And then His peace flows over me, and I get things done in the half of the time and all things work out for good. I testify to this not once, but many times. So, trust me on this and try it, you are not destined to fail but to be victorious in Jesus Christ. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 67 (2026/05/05)

 

May God be merciful and bless us. May his face smile with favor on us. I think the hardest thing for a parent is to lose a child and equal to that is to be falsely accused with a motive to destroy. Going through a divorce is probably one of the hardest things I had to deal with. In my first marriage I was the one who cheated and then to try and reconcile and “fix” your marriage without God is like jumping out of a plane without a parachute. Obviously when you marry again the pain from that divorce is ever present in your mind and believe me with true remorse from your previous mistakes you will do anything to make it work even to the extent of losing yourself and fighting to be better even when that seems not enough. I had to go through a second divorce and this time I did everything in my power (note in my power) to make it work, but an abusive relationship is a ship heading for the rocks. Abuse can be verbal and physical and as much as I tried to live past it and forgive and carry on it just got worse. Finally, I gave up and walked out. I did anything in my power to see my little girl as much as I could and all I ever asked was to see her enough until I was attacked with probably the most devastating law suite ever. It is one thing to be accused of something you did wrong, but way different when you must fight a lie. Why? I have no idea. The battle continues and as the weeks turn into months it seems to linger on, and nobody is thinking of that little girl as I fight on my knees so that God can make this come to pass. One thing I have learned in the last couple of months is to take my battles to the Holy Spirit, to trust His voice and His guidance and to trust in God’s process. It may be hard and even impossible at times, but I see His grace every time. My dear friend, that is why the Holy Spirit wants you to read these verses in Psalm 67, “Then the earth will yield its harvests, and God, our God, will richly bless us. Yes, God will bless us, and people all over the world will fear him”. It is imperative that you remember that we will face many trials and temptations, but as we walk our journey with the Holy Spirit seeking Him, listening to Him and many times asking for forgiveness, God will bless us (richly) and in our victories the world will see God and He will be glorified and people will turn back to Him. Never let your battles blur your faith for in our faith God will move. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 66 (2026/05/04)

 

Everything on earth will worship you; they will sing your praises, shouting your name in glorious songs. We are reading Psalm 66 today and this verse reminds me of Philippians 2 where Paul writes, “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father”. We must be aware of the fact that Jesus will return soon, and it is so important that we are ready for His return. My friend, we should not live for today or tomorrow, but instead we should have an eternal mindset living now for eternity. You should be in a place where you know without a doubt that if you die tomorrow or Jesus returns tomorrow, you will be in heaven. There should be no doubt in you about this and if so I earnestly plead with you that you ask the Lord to cleanse you or whatever keeps you from receiving salvation and that you ask Him to be your Lord and God and that you give your life to Him and let Him free your mind from doubt and that the Holy Spirit fills you with His peace. It is imperative that you let go of all that is in the past and look ahead with me (expectantly) at what lies ahead. God will hear your prayer and see your heart, and you will be set free and your name will be written in the book of life. Jesus is the only way, and He already took it all to the cross for by His stripes we are healed. My verse for us today is verse 19 and 20. Read it and meditate on it all day and let the Holy Spirit open it up and make it part of you. Always know this – “But God did listen! He paid attention to my prayer. Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer or withdraw his unfailing love from me”. He will step in and He will move your mountains, and He will save you and He will redeem you and He will set things right and He will be your God, your saviour and your help in times of trouble. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 65 (2026/05/03)

 

You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds, O God our savior. You are the hope of everyone on earth, even those who sail on distant seas. Prosperity is always this evil word that church people fear because the world makes us think that money is the root of all evil when in fact, we read in 1 Timothy 6:10 that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Another important aspect is that the Kingdom of heaven is not a distant idea but instead the minute you give your life to Jesus you are already in the kingdom of heaven, and this world is not your place anymore. You are now a tourist travelling through life in the kingdom of heaven with one true purpose and that is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In other words, you become a do-er and not a bystander. That is why the scripture say in Matthew 6, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you”. When you give your life to Jesus you become a new creation and the Holy Spirit then dwells within you and all that you give Him will become His. Most important is that we should have an intimate, day-to-day relationship with the Holy Spirit as He becomes your best friend and the one you share everything with. Even more so is the time you spend with Him in your prayer closet (room) of great importance and value. It is here where you seek and where you build your relationship with the Holy Spirit. It is here where we grow in our faith and we equip ourselves with the Word of God for we can not live by bread alone but by every Word that God speaks through the Bible. When you do this, you will be contempt and you will find true prosperity. Now, God did not say money is bad, He said the love of money (or material things) is bad. Having lots of money or possessions is not bad in fact God wants you to have “all things”. It is what we do with money or possessions that is important. When we live in a close and intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit (seeking Him above all else) we will have all we need. This brings me to verse 11 and 12 of Psalm 65, “You crown the year with a bountiful harvest; even the hard pathways overflow with abundance. The grasslands of the wilderness become a lush pasture, and the hillsides blossom with joy”.  This is what God wants for your life and that is to bear fruit. When we steward what God blesses us with for His glory, we will have more than we can think or dream of. My dear friend, I pray that the Holy Spirit will guide you into a more and deeper relationship with Him and that you will prosper in all things. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 64 (2026/05/02)

 

But God himself will shoot them with his arrows, suddenly striking them down. This morning I am desperate for my Lord as I continue my battle for my little girl. Some days it feels as if I am stuck in a box as I struggle with the process. As I read Psalm 64 it is almost as if the Holy Spirit shows me the wickedness of what happened and is happening. In verse 5 David writes, “They encourage each other to do evil and plan how to set their traps in secret. “Who will ever notice?” they ask”. And to be honest I think this is exactly what happened. This terrible plan was set in motion with the very idea that no one will notice as a trap is set for me to lose my daughter. Instead, God intervened and opened a door that I can only say is by His grace and His work. When I needed funds to battle this court case God send someone to help me and every day, I am still in awe of how it all fell into place. Yes, this process is exhausting and really gets to me some days. In verse 6 David writes, “As they plot their crimes, they say, “We have devised the perfect plan!” Yes, the human heart and mind are cunning”. This is so true in my situation. Yes, she must have thought the plan is perfect for she planned it for months. When the first attempt failed, she went in for a more devious and extreme one. It is so true that the human heart and mind can be cunning. We know that it is the ideas of the enemy but in the end, people make the choice. Days when I struggle with the battle God gives me answers like what He says here in verse 7 and 8, “But God himself will shoot them with his arrows, suddenly striking them down. Their own tongues will ruin them, and all who see them will shake their heads in scorn”. My dear friend, Jesus said that we will have tribulation on earth and we will face many trials for Him. When we chose to follow Jesus and we take up our cross, the war starts. As I battle through this day by day, I know that no weapon formed against us will prosper and the thoughts God has for us is thoughts of peace so we will have a hope and a future. That is why I know God will give me victory and, in the end, people will rejoice in the Lord knowing that He is my shelter and they will praise Him for what He has done. Have an awesome day, my friend, remember this and meditate on this all day – “What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?”.

91 Days of Victory – Day 63 (2026/05/01)

 

I have to quote this scripture again, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). As I am reading Psalm 63 today and I think about the challenges I face, and you know when we face battles we tend to think about our past and the mistakes, we made. Those forgotten and those that still haunts us today. I have made many mistakes and I still do. Paul writes that no one is good not even one and Jesus also said that no one is good, but we are made right by the sacrifice Jesus made for us. We can never defeat sin, so Jesus did it for us. Therefore, be cheerful for Jesus has already overcome the world. Now in verse 8 David writes, “I cling to you; your strong right hand holds me securely”. If I may take my kids as an example. When they were little and my daughter still is, they would run to you when they are afraid or hurt and they would cling to you, knowing that you will do something about their fear or their hurt. They instinctively seek out their parents for help when they have to deal with something that is too much for them at that age. Now that instinct is supported by love and authority, because you love your kids and instinctively you are wired to protect them. Now I am getting to something, stay with me. Jesus said in Matthew 7, “How much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him”. How much more does your Father know what you need, so if He created us to instinctively protect our children and they instinctively run to us when in danger or in need, then when David says I cling to the Father (like a child for we are His children) then He will protect us by His strong right hand (His power and authority) and then all things will work out for good because the reason we cling to Him is because we love Him and when we delight in Him, He will make it all come to pass. In other words when we seek Him (cling) above all else everything else will be added (given or receive). So, my dear friend, come with me today as we cling to the Father and be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Have an awesome day.
