Thank you, Jesus, for what You have come to doā¦
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 otherā¦ 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 āperfectā 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 Sayā¦ āSee, Stop, but Believe.ā
After a busy weekend at work, and an awesome time in Godās presence at church last nightā¦ 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 didnāt seek Him, not that I donāt start every day and end…

Deal or heal… What’s your story?
The āAbishai Brothersā were supposed to meet last week, but 2 scheduled nights couldnāt take place due to unforeseen circumstancesā¦ I took the time to finish my previous post the first night, and then the following night, after coming home from work, I didnāt know what to do with myselfā¦ I entered into a home…

So, what exactly do you want?
I went for a braai (BBQ) at a friendās 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 themā¦ a wood fire crackling in background while the parents play cards or throw dartsā¦ 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 rightā¦ A while ago I was led to think of a āPlaceā, deeply thinking of āA place of being.ā We sing songs of āGod fill this placeā, we pray prayers of…

āLord, show meā
With a silent and shy whisperā¦ āLord, show me, show me Your way.āGod, as gentle as He is, starts pointing out the bruises, the areas we got hurt. He gently touches the woundsā¦ āThere, My child, that is where your healing is.ā Tears running down the cheeksā¦ āThank you, Fatherā And again, we ask āLord,…

Be Carriersā¦ of His Character
Part 1 of this post was āCarrying Godās presenceā; Godās 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 Carriersā¦ of His Presence.
My last few weeks of meditation was mostly about the fear of Godā¦ āChoose your fearā; it is a topic that comes up quite often in my devoted time, do we really and deeply understand what this is all about? Itās 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 didnāt 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 locatedā¦ very…

āAnd just like thatā¦ā
I spent a lot of time in John 17 the last monthā¦ āWhen Jesus Praysā ā¦ WOW, it is beautiful, it started with a thought of āJesus, at the right hand of God the Father, interceding for usā (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 āCapacityā, it was still in progress when it was placed in the āParkedā 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…

Donāt go there
I am a numbers guys; it comes naturally and quite handy in the industry I am working inā¦ 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; donāt let it passā¦

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 Godās face. Can you believe we had to attend church in secretā¦? Some countries probably still doā¦…

Glorious Visitations
āTo You belongs silence [the submissive wonder of reverence], and [it bursts into] praise in Zion, O God; And to You the vow shall be performed. O You who hear prayer, To You all mankind comes. Wickedness and guilt prevail against me; Yet as for our transgressions, You forgive them [removing them from Your sight].…

š„Fan the Flame ā Day 6š„

Day 1 was āRenewing of your prayer lifeā, donāt drop the ballā¦ be conscious of your thoughts, turn it into prayer. It is humanly impossible to pray 24 hours a day, but be in constant awareness and contact with God; speaking in tongues whenever you can, donāt allow thoughts that raise itself against Godās thoughts…

You are expectant, right?
A clear topic that has come up in my spirit and thought in the last week, over and over and over again; “BE EXPECTANT!!!” My understanding of being expectant is not a pleasant experience, especially if I had to put it into context of the last 2 years. I have built a shield around myself…

If God is for us…
I grew up in the 1980ās – 1990ās, in Boksburg, a suburb just outside of Johannesburg, in South Africa. I was fortunate to be raised by God-fearing parents. Even though my younger brother and I were very naughty through our teens and early twenties, God was always in awareness, never the center of our being,…

2020… The year of attending to cracks
I recently went to the Natal south coast (in South Africa) for a quick break, the intent was to reflect on 2020, and to seek and align my mind with God’s vision for 2021. I have huge excitement and expectations for the year to come, there are new ventures on the horizon, this after a…

What did 2020 bring to you?
Sitting and reflecting over 2020, a typical Old Testament fable. It would be amongst stories such as Noah and the flood, The Tower of Babel, The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Mosesā plagues and his wandering in the desert, Jezebelās hunt of Godās prophetsā¦ A year that saw a plague, a year with tests and…

I heard Him sayingā¦ āLook at Meā¦ Just, Look at Meā¦ā
My laptopās screen brokeā¦ YES, my parents also told me not to play with balls in the house when I grew up, but if you have a serious contentious wrestling match with your 9 year old daughter, you need to throw a soccer ball in the attempt to get away from a death gripā¦ it…
