Consider Covid-19 as a time of regeneration.


by Yvette van Niekerk


It is so easy to fall into self-pity mode, and once you are there, it is going to take a miracle to get you out. We need to start taking affirmative action in our lives; spiritually, we can draw near to the Lord. The whole world in turmoil, feeling desperate and isolated. Come, let us take up the Armor of God be strong in the Lord and his mighty power. We were reading from Ephesian 6, verse 10 to 20.

We know that the battle we are fighting is against the evil of this world. We also know we need to stand firm on God's Word. I strap on the belt of truth around my waist, and I ask the Lord to help me keep on speaking the truth and placing the breastplate of righteousness over my chest. Lord, I am the righteousness of God in Christ, no weapons formed against me shall prosper. My feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. Help me to carry this Word out to a broken world. As I pick up my shield of faith today, extinguishing all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Standing firm on God's promises, no weapon or illness can come against me. I place the helmet of salvation on my head. I have a sound mind God's Spirit is with me. My sword is the Word of God, and I can use it in any situation. I am asking the Lord to help me pray in the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.

Psalm 91: 4 - 5 "God will cover me with his wings; I will be safe in his care; his faithfulness will protect and defend me. I need not fear any dangers at night or sudden attacks during the day."

Prayer Father God, I fear not, there is nothing to fear, for God is with me. I do not look around in terror and be dismayed, for He is my God. He will strengthen and harden me to difficulties, yes, God will help me; yes, He will hold me up and retain me with His victorious right hand of rightness and justice. (Isaiah 41: 10) In Jesus Name, 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...

~ Reach Out if You Wish to Succeed ~ Galatians 5:13 – “By love, serve one another.”

Gentle reader, Permit me to offer this quiet truth: success does not arrive on satin cushions, announced by trumpets or tapping politely at your parlour door. No — it is more elusive, more noble in its pursuit. It often hides itself behind connections yet to be made, and relationships yet to be pursued. To flourish in this life, one must be bound — not by title or fortune — but by divine connection. For those who are destined to elevate you may not arrive unbidden. More often, it is you who must summon the courage to seek them out. Let us consider the evidence: Why is the newspaper sold on every corner, and the soda machine placed on every floor? Because success is positioned where the people are. Even our beloved Lord, Jesus — did He sit upon a high throne in a palace, declaring, “Only here may you find Me?” Certainly not. He moved among the people — to the market stalls, along the dusty shores where fishermen cast their nets, into the synagogues and modest homes. “He went through...
