First Born


Romans 8: 29 ICB “God knew them before he made the world.  And God chose them to be like his son.  Then Jesus would be the firstborn of many brothers.”

Now for the changing and renewing of your mind, God has called you and now you are studying God’s word.  The Bible and today we are looking at the International Children's Bible version which is self-explanatory.  I do believe we all have all kinds of hangups.  So just after your rebirth, you will hear someone saying something like you are just like your mother or our family has been suffering from heart disease for many generations.  True, but didn’t you just change your life around?  Didn’t you just accept the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth into your own life? 

Yes, both you and I have been born into a sinful world, and we are sinners until we make that decision to become born again.  The minute you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior you became born again. 

A renewing process is going to take place, you are going to have a hunger and thirst to read the Bible.  You will want to spend time with other believers and learn more about Jesus.  In the beginning, the Lord will answer many of your prayers so that You can see and get to know His voice.  A still soft voice.

Like the little sheep, you are looking around to see where your shepherd is, and you want to follow Him.

I want to encourage you today, keep on reading God’s word the Bible and keep on meditating on the word.  Write the scripture down and think about what it's saying to you.  Keep a journal and write down your prayers and answers you received.  Sometimes you loose yourself and need to remind yourself how far you have come.  See how God is leading and guiding you.  Do not stop keep moving forward each day, bit by bit.

Prayer


Thank You, Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, today we realize that You are God’s first born, we honor and worship You.  Lord, it is our heart's desire to become more and more like You.  We love You, we enjoy learning about You, please Lord we need the Holy Spirit in our own lives.  We call on You, send Your Spirit to help us.  Amen

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God.  On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach.  Are you able to relate?   It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”  Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD.  After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
