  • 164 - A mirror of Gods word

    Hello,


    A mirror of God’s word


    can also mean ; Image or reflector


    1 Corinthians 11:1 NKJV

    Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.


    Prayer: Hello God ; Father of Jesus Christ and also my Father through grace and salvation by the blood. I want to be one with your word in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!


    Opening remarks:

    It seems like time is on ‘fast forward’ with the evidence seen in how the days, weeks, months, and years are passing by. This unfortunately means we’re constantly chasing success and/or fulfillment (employment, business, family, friendships, society, hobby’s, exercise and health living, and all other goals in life).


    It’s important as a born again child of God (Christian) to pause or stop and ask yourself “what I’m I doing with or about the word of God in my life”?.


    However long you have been born again, the word has been and I’m sure continues to be taught/spoken and read.


    1 Timothy 4:12-16 AMP

    Let no one look down on [you because of] your youth, but be an example and set a pattern for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in [moral] purity. [13] Until I come, devote yourself to public reading [of Scripture], to preaching and to teaching [the sound doctrine of God’s word]. [14] Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, [that special endowment] which was intentionally bestowed on you [by the Holy Spirit] through prophetic utterance when the elders laid their hands on you [at your ordination]. [15] Practice and work hard on these things; be absorbed in them [completely occupied in your ministry], so that your progress will be evident to all. [16] Pay close attention to yourself [concentrate on your personal development] and to your teaching; persevere in these things [hold to them], for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you.


    ‭‭The word of God should be lived.

    We should commit to God’s word.

    Our speech, character, personality, behavior should reflect God’s word.


    Ephesians 4:32 AMP

    Be kind and helpful to one another, tender-hearted [compassionate, understanding], forgiving one another [readily and freely], just as God in Christ also forgave you.

  • 163 - It is finished

    Hello,


    It is finished - Sunday 31 March 2024


    “Settled / over and done with”


    Self condemnation, judgment, accusation, negative talk, terrible self fulfilling prophesies, evil thoughts, not loving one self, loneliness, anger, jealous, envy, sickness, etc.


    John 3:16-17 NKJV

    For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. [17] For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.


    John 19:30 NKJV

    So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.


    John 20:1-2,9,28-31 NLT

    [1] Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. [2] She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, "They have taken the Lord's body out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!" [9] for until then they still hadn't understood the Scriptures that said Jesus must rise from the dead. [28] "My Lord and my God!" Thomas exclaimed. [29] Then Jesus told him, "You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me." [30] The disciples saw Jesus do many other miraculous signs in addition to the ones recorded in this book. [31] But these are written so that you may continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in him you will have life by the power of his name.

  • 162 - The way out

    Hello,


    4:9-10 NKJV

    Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. [10] Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."


    Prayer : Father help me to recognize you always in Jesus name.

    Being aware of

    Relationships (friendship, partnership, acquaintance, dating, courtship, marriage)

    Poverty (suffering & life struggles)

    Failure (education, business, plans)

    Unemployment (warning & signs to be fired)

    Sickness & disease

    Mental breakdown (mental health)


    Thomas asks Jesus the question “how do we know where you’re going if we don’t know the way”?


    John 14:6 NKJV

    Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

  • 161 - Make a name for yourself

    Make a name for yourself - Sunday 17 March 2024

    Mark 5:27-28 NKJV

    When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. [28] For she said, "If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well."

    Prayer : Daddy here I am in your presence; humble and totally giving myself to you. I choose to trust and rely on you even if everything else has failed. It will not matter who’s looking because I know you are my God. Thank you for hearing my prayer, in Jesus name I pray, Amen!

    Make - that is to create (meaning there has to be some form or level of control involved)

    There is always an opportunity waiting to be discovered and grabbed/taken.

    Health

    Family

    Relationship

    Career or workplace (Including business)

    Academics

    Neigbours

    Ministry / church

    Group or team

    Genesis 11:1-9 NKJV

    Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. [2] And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. [3] Then they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. [4] And they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth." [5] But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. [6] And the LORD said, "Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. [7] Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech." [8] So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. [9] Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.

    History is not created based on coincidence but instead is a result of hard work, effort, commitment, and showing up daily.

  • 160 - Can't be stopped

    Hello,


    Can’t be stopped - Sunday 10 March 2024


    Luke 1:36-37 NKJV

    Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. [37] For with God nothing will be impossible."


    Prayer : Hello God my creator and Father. I come before this moment with trust, confidence, and expectation in you. I pray that you help me to always count and wait on you in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.


    ‘’Possibility is in the eye of the beholder’’

    That is to say only you can see the full picture of what your imagination has presented you.

    Do not make the mistake of trying to convince others to see what you have in your mind. The danger is that they may either believe you (Positive)or discourage you.


    Genesis 37:9-11 NIV

    Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. "Listen," he said, "I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me." [10] When he told his father as well as his brothers, his father rebuked him and said, "What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?" [11] His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind.


    You have an idea and share it with those you love.

    They say it can’t be achieved

    - It is far fetched

    - Too ambitious

    - Impossible

    - Ridiculous


    You disclose your plan/s

    - Too complicated

    - Not practical

    - No value in it
