It is important to understand who God is! The reason this is important, is that the Bible declares we are shaped in His image and likeness (Genesis 1:26-27) and if we are shaped this way, then we must understand what flows down from God into us. One such character trait of God, is found … Continue reading Choose the Right Weapons for the Battle

What Are You Not Letting Go of?
How do you start a wide and complex topic like this? Well, I do not have a clue, so I would just start by sharing aspects of my own life and experiences (1 Thessalonians 2:8). I once heard my Pastor ask this question, “Do you know what sends people mad?” Well, I found this question … Continue reading What Are You Not Letting Go of?
Honouring God
I write on a topic this morning that I know that I need to do more work on. As always, I like to be transparent and very open in my blogs and share myself via my experiences and journeys. But when I write it is always for me first in a manner where himself speaks … Continue reading Honouring God
Never Say You are Too
A prominent passage of scripture is found in chapter one of Jeremiah where God was having dialogue with Jeremiah and the conversation went like this: Jeremiah 1:4-7 (NIV) The word of the Lord came to me, saying,5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; … Continue reading Never Say You are Too
Look Up!
Man has always had a fascination with the sky, be it the clouds, moon, mars or just the wider universe in general. As a child, I myself spent many nights simply looking at the sky and counting the stars as they appeared. I used to do this with astonishment and wonder as I pondered about … Continue reading Look Up!

A lot of our behaviours can change when our mindset changes. This is because our thinking shapes our beliefs, our beliefs affects our behaviour and in turn … Continue reading All Is As It Should Be!
Don’t Leave the Kingdom
All of us have been there during our Christian walk, the place where it looks more attractive to leave the kingdom of God than to remain. Some of you might find the word attractive to strong, but you can replace it with inviting, or tempting, or anything else you find appropriate in this instance. However, … Continue reading Don’t Leave the Kingdom
Don’t Focus on Only what is in Front of You
This week I was driving in my car and heading to work while listening to a worship song on YouTube. It was a beautiful song called, “You are my Strength”. The worship leader was singing it with great passion when he stopped to give a short testimony. He said about 1 year ago “he was … Continue reading Don’t Focus on Only what is in Front of You
Runaways
I don’t know what it is, but men seem to like to run away and turn their backs on God. God takes a step forward and we take a step backward. God says come my child and we turn and walk away. The outstretched loving arms of the father we ignore. If this is currently … Continue reading Runaways
Sheep Among Wolves
God has labelled His children many things, for instance: 1 Peter 2:9 (KJV) “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;” 2 Corinthians 6:18 (KJV) "And I will be … Continue reading Sheep Among Wolves
Your NEXT is more important than your NOW
I got up this morning and was thinking about my next move. Things have happened in my past which have wounded me greatly and it still affects me today. If I am totally honest the situation still persists and sometimes it seems like a daily struggle to keep afloat. Some of you might have had … Continue reading Your NEXT is more important than your NOW
