Today Reminder - 24 December 2012 (Possible)

A reminder for today

They said to all the people of Israel, "The land we travelled through and explored is a wonderful land! And if the LORD is pleased with us, he will bring us safely into that land and give it to us. It is a rich land flowing with milk and honey. (Numbers 14:7-8)

If the Lord brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Once again the people of Israel are forgetting who God really is. They stare blindly against the obstacles that lie ahead and already they made up their minds of what the outcome will be. Have you done that before? Have you come to place in your life where you thought that it would be imposable to continue, or maybe you are there now? 

God does not take us to places in our lives so that we can give up and go back. God takes us to these difficult paces so that He can take us through it for the glory of His name. When it seems impossible and we succeed, how much more will we realise it is by God’s grace that we succeeded and how much more will we give Him praise for this accomplishment.

My dear friend, God is with you and in this amazing time of the year He wishes to take you to places where it seems impossible to go so that you will know He is God and He is with you.

My prayer for you for today is that you will have a wonderful and a peaceful day filled with His presences as we prepare for Christmas and that you will not be afraid when things seem impossible, but that you would trust the Lord with all your heart, in Jesus name.

Have an awesome day, dear friend of Jesus.

Cheers

Today Reminder - 21 December 2012 (Humility)

A reminder for today

Now Moses was very humble—more humble than any other person on earth. (Numbers 12:3)

Humility:

I came across this interesting piece of history today and thought I share it with you. What is so interesting is that Aaron and Miriam criticized Moses and the Lord was very angry with them. He was so angry that He punished Miriam with leprosy. The Lord called them together and He said this to them:

And the LORD said to them, "Now listen to what I say: "If there were prophets among you,
I, the LORD, would reveal myself in visions. I would speak to them in dreams. But not with my servant Moses.
Of all my house, he is the one I trust. I speak to him face to face, clearly, and not in riddles! He sees the LORD as He is. So why were you not afraid to criticize my servant Moses?" (Numbers 11:6-8)

What I love about this is that the Lord says He speaks to Moses face to face and clearly and Moses sees the Lord as He is. Wow! Moses is set apart from the rest of all the prophets in the way that he spends his time with God. Moses is in such an important position yet he is the most humble person on earth. 

My dear friend, I believe that in humility we will see more of God than in any other place. I believe that in being humble we will see God as He is and that is the most important thing you can ever do. 

My prayer for you for today is that you will remain humble and spend more time with God so that you will be able to see Him as He is, in Jesus name.

Have an awesome day, dear friend of Jesus.

Cheers

Today Reminder - 20 December 2012 (Constant God)

A reminder for today

Then the LORD said to Moses, "Has my arm lost its power? Now you will see whether or not my word comes true!" (Numbers 11:23)

A constant God:

Once again the people of Israel were complaining to Moses and so Moses took their complaints to God. God promised Moses that He will give them meat for 5 days, but Moses questioned God in disbelief. He said that the troops alone is over 600 000, how would they all have meat to eat? 

So God said to Moses: "Has my arm lost its power? Now you will see whether or not my word comes true!"

My dear friend, God is asking us today "Has my arm lost its power? Now you will see whether or not my word comes true!" God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. If He said that He will look after His children, then He will. We are the ones that doubt God’s power, and we are the ones that complain to Him. God will deliver us from all that burdens us and He will lift us up and set us free. Don’t lose hope and don’t be despaired, God will come through for you. He has already done so much, why would He stop now.

My prayer for you for today is that you will remain faithful to the Lord. And that the Lord will hear your prayer and lift you up from wherever you are, to a place where He will be glorified in all that you do, in Jesus name.

Have an awesome day, dear friend of Jesus.

Cheers

Today Reminder - 19 December 2012 (Following God)

A reminder for today

Whenever the cloud lifted from over the sacred tent, the people of Israel would break camp and follow it. And wherever the cloud settled, the people of Israel would set up camp. So they camped or travelled at the LORD's command, and they did whatever the LORD told them through Moses. (Numbers 9:17 and 23)

Following God:

A friend of mine send me an email a while back about you and God. When I read this section in Numbers today I realised that God still leads us today as He did so many years ago with the Israelites in the desert. Today God may use circumstances or events in our day to alter our course, but He is always there with us wherever we go.

So let met share the mail with you today:

Me: God, can I ask You a question?

God: Sure

Me: Promise You won't get mad ... ... ... ...

God: I promise

Me: Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today?

God: What do u mean?

Me: Well, I woke up late

God: Yes

Me: My car took forever to start

God: Okay

Me: at lunch they made my sandwich wrong & I had to wait

God: Huummm

Me: On the way home, my phone went DEAD, just as I picked up a call

God: All right

Me: And on top of it all off, when I got home ~I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager & relax. BUT it wouldn't work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did You do that?

God: Let me see, the death angel was at your bed this morning & I had to send one
of My Angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that

Me (humbled): OH

GOD: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.

Me: (ashamed)

God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick & I didn't want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.

Me (embarrassed):Okay

God: Your phone went dead bcuz the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk to them so you would be covered.

Me (softly): I see God

God: Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark.

Me: I'm Sorry God

God: Don't be sorry, just learn to Trust Me.... in All things , the Good & the bad.

Me: I will trust You.

God: And don't doubt that My plan for your day is Always Better than your plan.

Me: I won't God. And let me just tell you God, Thank You for Everything today.

God: You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I Love looking after My Children...

My dear friend, may the Lord keep you and bless you today as He safely carries you on your journey, in Jesus name.

Have an awesome day, dear friend of Jesus.

Cheers

Today Reminder - 18 December 2012 (Blessed)

A reminder for today

'May the LORD bless you and protect you. May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you. May the LORD show you his favour and give you his peace.' (Numbers 6:24-26)

Wow! It is a week before Christmas! What an awesome time of the year. We once again get the opportunity to celebrate one of the greatest gifts ever given to us by God our Father. We celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

It is the time of the year where we share the joy with friends and family and with all those around us. It is a time of giving representing the awesome gift we have in Jesus Christ. 

It is also a crazy time where people rush around to get the last Christmas shopping done and there is the rush to get to the holiday destinations and then there is the sad and terrible that creeps in as the enemy continues to try and destroy the joy of Christmas.

Therefore my dear friend, my prayer for you for today is this:  'May the LORD bless you and protect you. May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you. May the LORD show you his favour and give you his peace.' - In Jesus name.

Have an awesome day, dear friend of Jesus.

Cheers
