Pray about it

‘Why is this happening to me?’  Genesis 25: 22 NIV

As I started my day this morning I decided to dedicate this day to the Lord in humble prayer.  I want to pray for the ‘why is this happening to me?’  Abba Father hear my cry as I stand in the gap for the following people in my life, my Oldest Son and his family, my daughter and her family, my youngest son and his friends, my mom and oom Frik, my sister and her family, my brother and his family.  I also want to pray for my Google + friends and my own family, husband and stepchildren.

Reminding the Lord on His word in 1 Kings 17:14 Lord it states: " that the LORD, the God of Israel says ‘the jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD sends rain on the land.’"  Humbly Lord I am asking for You to open the heavens and send down the rain, we are in need of Your helping hand.

Rich or poor, famous or unknown I want to ask You Lord don’t forget us, Your children in the name of Jesus Christ.  

Amen

Abandonment - why?

As I watched the movie ‘the Single moms’ I was so angry and to be honest very, very disappoint with my ex-husband.

When I think about my children I must be honest and tell you that my children all must be suffering from ‘abandonment’.  Firstly my ex-husband never seemed to have the time or care about his own children.  He was either too busy and no he lives far, far away.  When I needed him to help me and pay alimony he ‘was out of a job’.  So I had no other avenues to help me with my children.  I don’t know how many nights we eat bread and drink some coffee.  I didn’t have enough cash for groceries.  I finally got over him and moved on.  I then I got married and left my children in Johannesburg, they were according to me, grownups and are able to look after themselves.  Honestly today I regret leaving them and not actually looking out for their wellbeing.  

I pray the Lord will forgive both me and my ex-husband for abandoning our children.  Lord Jesus in humility I confess and ask You humbly please Lord forgive me for abandoning my children.  Please fill their lives with rich love, kindness and loads of abundance. 

I feel so sad for the things I did and I hope moms and dads will start focusing on their families and stop look for greener pastures.

New action - new outcome

Hosea 1 New International Version (NIV)

² When the Lord began to speak through Hosea, the Lord said to him, “Go, marry a promiscuous woman and have children with her, for like an adulterous wife this land is guilty of unfaithfulness to the Lord.”
 ³ So he married Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.

Hose was a prophet of the Living God.  God told Hosea go and find a promiscuous woman and have children with her.  It seems that today’s children are very promiscuous and we don’t seem to worry too much about it.  We tell them use protection and don’t get into trouble but we don’t teach them to abstain and keep themselves pure for the marriage bed.

I wonder if Gomer the daughter of Diblaim was taught to be a promiscuous woman or if she was so beautiful that she just couldn’t help herself and was drawn to men sexually.  She just couldn’t help herself?  

We should rein in our children in, teach them the right way and the outcome will be so much better.  Don’t leave them going about their own business, they are too young to decided what’s right from wrong, we must teach our children.  While they are young and when they grow old they will know right from wrong.

The appointed time

Daniel 11 : 33 - 35 (NIV)

³³ “Those who are wise will instruct many, though for a time they will fall by the sword or be burned or captured or plundered. ³⁴ When they fall, they will receive a little help, and many who are not sincere will join them. ³⁵ Some of the wise will stumble, so that they may be refined, purified and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.

Reading the Bible and currently my daily reading has brought me to the book of Daniel.  When reading it I must tell you that I feel awed by the amazing and spectacular visions Daniel was honored to receive from the Lord.  On reading the vision and just focusing on all Daniel has heard seen and experienced I must be honest in saying I am awed by the visions.  

Thinking of the times we are living in and looking at our world right now it almost seems like we are in the ‘appointed time’.  There are constant wars waged against Israel.  Russian’s are at war, Americans are at war.  Ebola is taking many lives in Africa.  Things are truly upside down.  Shouldn’t we get back to basic and call upon the Lord our God of Israel, in the Holy name of Jesus Christ? 

Or do we believe we have so much time left it won’t matter; it’s still in the future.
