Hello 2019


This year is all about embracing what God makes special in you. Everything that makes you so unique. It's this year we are going to become focused.

Psalm 5: 3 (ESV)

O LORD, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch.

It's time to say "Lord, here I am and Lord, I am ready!" I want to focus all my time and energy on God. I want to be purpose driven. I am planning on only expecting good things to come my way. I am declaring "I am expecting good things in my life, good thoughts and good behaviour." I am looking forward to supernatural favour in my life with God and with people. I am going to do good things because is doing good things in my own life.

I am the righteousness of God in Christ. Today I am going to do my best job now. Not as for people but as for God. I am going to use every opportunity in my life as an opportunity for growth. I may slip up at times but I am going to win in the end. I have God on my side, who can stand against me. I am not going to waste my time on feeling guilty or worrying about my life, being jealousy or feeling envious of other and I am going to stop resenting, feeling bitter and not forgiving people. No more “I’m not good enough, I am excellent and I am a Child of God.” Today I want to bind all negative thoughts that pour through my mind regularly especially feeling sorry for myself.

I am going to focus my thoughts on God’s word. I am going to do my best job now. I am capable of doing an excellent job.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, You are worthy of praise, Lord You are the Almighty God, I want to worship and praise Your Holy Name. Lord I am so grateful for a new day, new beginnings and new challenges. Lord, I dedicate my life and the lives of my friends and family into Your hands. You have opened doors for each one of us. Help us Lord to stay focused on You and Your Word. Lord help us to turn to You each morning and night. In the Holy name of Jesus Christ. Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
