I heard Him say “My Bride, Do Not Forget…”
I heard Him say…“My beloved Bride, Do not forget…Do not forget where I came to fetch you from… Do not forget the mountains I moved…Do not forget the oceans I parted…Do not forget that you didn’t choose me, but I chose you…I allowed circumstances to happen… Circumstances that brought you to My feet… I came…

Thank you, Jesus, for what You have come to do…
I have been busy reading quite a few books in the last few months; reading a few chapters of one book then again of the other… the one book I am reading was timed to perfection with the season we are in, the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It talks…

Purity the intention, Distracted by perfection
My daughter recently turned 11; she has really been through a lot in the 11 years she has been on this earth. She was part of a “perfect” happily married family for the first 8 years of her life; she had 4 dogs, a bird and a swimming pool, she had her own living room…

I heard Him Say… “See, Stop, but Believe.”
After a busy weekend at work, and an awesome time in God’s presence at church last night… I came home, hungry for more time with the Father, and for the first time in a long time He started talking again. Not that I didn’t seek Him, not that I don’t start every day and end…

This is my story
I have a lot of my story spread out over a few blogs and referring to certain events of significance related to the topic I was writing at that point in time… Just a brief introduction to me… I enjoy the journey I am on, and I know there is still a long journey ahead……

Deal or heal… What’s your story?
The “Abishai Brothers” were supposed to meet last week, but 2 scheduled nights couldn’t take place due to unforeseen circumstances… I took the time to finish my previous post the first night, and then the following night, after coming home from work, I didn’t know what to do with myself… I entered into a home…

So, what exactly do you want?
I went for a braai (BBQ) at a friend’s house a few weekends back, it is always a joyful occasion in South Africa; kids playing in the pool after having watermelon dripping all over them… a wood fire crackling in background while the parents play cards or throw darts… and basically just having a good…

Clothed with the Sacrifice
It is sooo special how God work with us and talk to us, preparing our minds gently to drop revelation when the time is right… A while ago I was led to think of a “Place”, deeply thinking of “A place of being.” We sing songs of “God fill this place”, we pray prayers of…

“Lord, show me”
With a silent and shy whisper… “Lord, show me, show me Your way.”God, as gentle as He is, starts pointing out the bruises, the areas we got hurt. He gently touches the wounds… “There, My child, that is where your healing is.” Tears running down the cheeks… “Thank you, Father” And again, we ask “Lord,…

Be Carriers… of His Character
Part 1 of this post was “Carrying God’s presence”; God’s presence is a place of being, not only a place of experience. God demands a permanent residence in our being, for us to be carriers of His presence and not a visitation when we find time to do so. We are in His creation; this…

Be Carriers… of His Presence.
My last few weeks of meditation was mostly about the fear of God… “Choose your fear”; it is a topic that comes up quite often in my devoted time, do we really and deeply understand what this is all about? It’s not a trembling fear, but rather a fear of reverence and awe found in…

Exit towards the Entrance
Earlier this year I had to collect something from a warehouse. What may have appeared as quite a strict access-controlled area didn’t really have any control, except for gates opening by the pressing of buttons. There was a huge access gate at the entrance of the office park in which the warehouse is located… very…

“And just like that…”
I spent a lot of time in John 17 the last month… “When Jesus Prays” … WOW, it is beautiful, it started with a thought of “Jesus, at the right hand of God the Father, interceding for us” (Romans 8:34), and John 17 is one place I know where it is recorded when Jesus prayed…

I CHOOSE LIFE!!!
Godly Conversations; Another late night with my dear friend and brother in Christ, which could go on for another few hours, but rushing against a curfew had it cut short. A while ago God had me busy with “Capacity”, it was still in progress when it was placed in the “Parked” folder as another topic…

Behind closed doors
We serve a God, the ONE and ONLY God, that craves for our attention… He wants an intimate relationship with us, behind closed doors. We said good bye to my Sister-in-Law a while ago… we live more than 1000km apart, and it was not possible for me to attend the funeral in person. Their church…

Don’t go there
I am a numbers guys; it comes naturally and quite handy in the industry I am working in… I can spot a trend and will apply brakes to a downward trend or accelerate to ride the momentum of an upward trend. Both have different characteristics and should be planned for differently. Importantly, you need to…

Park that thought; don’t let it pass…
Godly Conversations lead to Godly Revelations!!! I briefly wrote about this topic a while ago… chatting about God, conversations leading to God’s goodness and greatness.Every single time I meet with this friend I spoke about we have an “AHA” moment, and at the end of the late nights, overflowing by more than just caffeine… it…

Value It
2 sermons I attended the past weekend had a similar “statement” of “Know what you ask for”… the first was on Saturday night… “More of You, Jesus” followed by “Do you understand the process to this request?”And the second was Sunday night… “Use me!!!” followed by “Be sure of what you ask for.” Approximately 2…

Godly conversations lead to Godly Revelations
I met a friend last year August (2020) at a small church I started attending in the middle of the lockdown, most churches were still closed. We had quite a few underground secret church services, hungry people, seeking God’s face. Can you believe we had to attend church in secret…? Some countries probably still do……
