Remember The Invitation

Greetings Brothers, and all those following this blog,

I trust all are well and life is treating you well. How many times have you been invited to some function, maybe a seminar, or even to attend a school reunion, and a day after it has passed, you remember but too late? It's done and dusted! You forgot about it because of your busy life, or maybe you never checked your diary that day or two before the specific event. That was a big mistake! Now regret you missed out and never caught up with folks you would've loved to have met and chatted with.

What about God? Let's first read a verse or two before we move on. It is found in John 14:16-17, and it goes like this ... "I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever..." Jesus was speaking here and He was speaking about a promise that the Holy Spirit would be with us after He ascended up into heaven. God the Holy Spirit is with us today as He was with them all after Jesus departed earth. He is our Helper, our Guide, our Protector, our Healer, and everything else God is to us.

Therefore, whenever you are in a brotherly Christian gathering, or maybe attending some meeting related to your faith, maybe a church meeting, remember the invitation - to invite your Helper to be amongst you during that time. Even at your workplace, or in the office or field, remember the invitation. make sure the Holy Spirit is with you, leading you on every minute of that day. Without Him chaos may ensue and what will that bring you? Nothing that is called a blessing. Right now, remember that invite before you make your next move or take your next step. Be blessed !!

When God Speaks

Greetings Brothers, and all who follow and read this Blog,

Life is truly a wonderful journey. Yes, we do have to go through storms and at other times we enjoy the beautiful sunshine and clear skies. That's life for you! Today I'm bringing you closer to God and how mighty He is. may this post change the way you think and react.

Are you in a management position at your work? Are you the owner of your own business? Maybe you are in a supervisory position, having some employees under your "command" and will. When you speak, do things happen? Do things happen even when they seem impossible? Can you command folks to follow your orders, obey you and believe in you, even when it sounds impossible, maybe a task to far out of normal arm's reach? Therefore, I would say this does not always happen.

What about God, when He speaks? Let's look at Isaiah 55:11, which states, "So also will be the word that I speak - it will not fail to do what I plan for it; it will do everything I send it to do." Wow! How beautiful and powerful is that! When God speaks He says clearly that whatever He says will happen. Who else as such power through words? Who else can speak and things WILL happen? I doubt we will see the impossible remain as such. The impossible is always possible because when God speaks it will take place.

His words go out to accomplish His purpose. God speaks! This means one thing for sure. We can rely and believe in everything He says. What He says is what He speaks out - and it will happen! Are you a believer and enjoy what He says, knowing that it will happen as spoken? Believe you me, what God says stays. Therefore, never doubt what He speaks or says. Just believe and never doubt! Enjoy the week ahead. Be blessed.

Strangest Commands

Greetings brothers, and sisters who follow my blog.

I trust your life is on the righteous path and pleasing to God. Today I'm speaking about things that are strange, even far fetched, but could happen. Imagine you arrive at the office or wherever, then you are told to do something which does not link to reality - it seems plain strange and awkward, and not befitting the time and place. What do you do? What do you say? I will definitely query the command from whomever it came from. I'll insist that it is way out of this world and cannot be done, or what will it be for or is it worth it.

Imagine you are told to build a shed next to your office. You ask "what for?" There is no purpose for this. Your manager or employer insists. maybe your wife asks you to build it near your office business premises. Again, "what for?" In the end you just do it, never minding the outcome. Then a few days/weeks later something happens and you suddenly realise it was all worth it; there was a purpose for it to be build. And here comes our loving God. He tells you to build something or to make something, but you are confused. Why? This has no meaning or purpose right here and now. You don't see anything coming from this. Instead of querying or questioning God, you just obey and do it.

Let's read 2 Kings 3:16. It goes like this - "Thus says the Lord, 'Make this valley full of trenches.'" And your reaction. What for Lord? This makes no sense. Still, because you are an obedient follower of our loving God, you obey and just do it. Then some time into the future you understand why He commanded you to do that specific task. A miracle! Then you see how God has been setting you up for a miracle or new chapter in your life. Now you see the bigger picture. Now you understand why He asked you to do just that.

Let's just obey His instructions, even when we don't understand it, and see what he is doing and planning for our lives. God knows exactly what He is doing. He is God! And we are not... Enjoy the journey and obey Him in every day things, especially when He "speaks" to you for something specific. Be blessed!

God Increases Power

Greetings Brothers in Christ,

Today's message touches me just as much as it will touch you. In the past weeks I have felt weak, weary and without strength. My business has kept me so busy that my life was being drained one day at a time. Even my time with God, praying and "speaking" to Him decreased, which is wrong. We reach such times, where we feel weak, faint and powerless. It is not easy when our daily life schedules "attack" us and tries to stop us in our tracks. At this point in time I came before God and asked for forgiveness for not spending enough time in His presence, and prayed and "spoke" with God in a new way. Now I feel refreshed again; renewed and strong. Why?

Let's look at the Bible, and especially in the book of Isaiah. Here is Isaiah 40:29, "He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power." This verse spoke deeply into my heart, mind and soul. It touched me because it was exactly what I needed to hear. God knows our daily circumstances, and He wants to step in and change this for us. So when you are at this point in your own life, turn to God, making extra time before Him and allow Him to offer you new strength and power. My life was so weary that writing my new books and my blog/Facebook pages fell behind as I just didn't feel like doing nothing. God changed all that for me now.

He wants to change things for you but you must acknowledge this and ask Him to help you in this journey of life. Without Him we are useless, weak and worth nothing. But He brings us to the place of renewal. Allow Him to come and intervene, to offer you new strength and new power. Only God can increase the power you need. There is no other way. Praises to our living and loving God for His mercies and His love and His grace. Without Him we will always be lost and weary. Amen.

May this day and the future be bright and shiny in your lives and hearts. may God be the first and the last, the Alpha and the Omega in your life forever. Be blessed...

God Approved

Hi Brothers,

It has been some time I know, but running a business fulltime leaves me at times [seasonal though] with very little spare time but to spend it with my beautiful princess of 32 years in marriage. Sometimes that's all that matters; and don't forget the quality time before our Lord God. That's first before my princess. How many of us allow the world to salute us, to approve of what we say and do?

The world applauds so many people for their "good deeds" or "great achievements" but that's not going to lead us anywhere. As children of the great I Am, our loving God, we should first see what God approves before we allow the world to applaud us. The world does not offer us eternal life or heavenly promises that come from God the Father. No, it applauds as it sees as greatness. This greatness could still have sin attached to it.

Therefore, be pleased at all times when God approves of what you say or do. His choice is to me far beyond what the world sees in me. God leads me to eternity and the world actually belongs to the "father of lies" and his cronies; which includes his followers on earth - all the sinners. Be God approved starting today! Amen...
