Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your Word that reveals the depth of Your wisdom and love. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 2:16, “For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.” Lord, I humbly desire to live in alignment with Your Spirit, to hold Your thoughts, feelings, and purposes in my heart. Lord, I confess that my own thoughts and abilities are limited and often fall short of Your will. My heart yearns to walk in harmony with You, to be one spirit with You as Your Word promises in 1 Corinthians 6:17. You have joined Yourself to me so that You can speak heart to heart with me. I long to hear Your voice clearly and to follow Your ways. Father God, I desire that Your thoughts become my actions, and that I live so closely with You that I never lack the power to overcome the evil of this world. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, so that I may feel Your heart of compassion for those who are hurting or burdened by sickness and pain. Use me,...

Heavenly Father, During this season of fasting, I bring my marriage before You in prayer. Although the future remains unknown to me, I trust in Your Word, as written in Jeremiah 29:11-12: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.” Lord, I come before You seeking guidance and strength for the road ahead. I am uncertain of what lies before me, yet I feel compelled to lift up my marriage to You, asking for Your intervention and support. Help me to be the wife You desire me to be. I recognise my limitations and my need for Your assistance. Transform my tendencies toward selfishness, impatience, and irritability into kindness, endurance, and the ability to bear all things. Take my ingrained habits, reactions, and protective defences, and replace them with patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Break ...

Good morning, Abba Father, All glory and honor belong to You, Holy God. Today, I come to praise and worship You with all my heart. Thank You for the precious rain, a reminder of Your grace upon all creation. As I look out my window, I see the water nurturing the grass, plants, and all living things, a beautiful display of Your love. Thank You for this wonderful blessing, Lord. Father, I feel blessed to have this time to be in Your presence. You know me by name, You understand my heart, and You know my deepest thoughts. I’m grateful for each moment I can dedicate my life back to You, seeking to purify my heart, mind, and body in Your presence. As I continue this second day of fasting, I confess my struggles, Lord. I battle with negativity in my thoughts, actions, and words. Please forgive me for these shortcomings, for my anger and frustration. I lift up those around me, even those who test my patience, releasing them to You in Jesus’ name, asking that You bring them peace and fulfil t...

Dear Father God, O Lord, my God, I come humbly before You, asking that You cleanse my heart of every fault and renew a right spirit within me. Please, Lord, forgive me for the thoughts I have held, the words I have spoken, and the actions I have taken that have not brought glory to You or have strayed from Your commands. Specifically, I confess to You my thoughts about others who seem to succeed through dishonesty or harm. I acknowledge the words, thoughts, and actions within me that are not pleasing to You, Lord, and I ask Your forgiveness. I repent of these and choose to turn from this path, desiring to live fully in Your way. I trust in Your mercy, for You are gracious and slow to anger, full of compassion and loving-kindness. Forgive me, Lord, for any times I have taken Your mercy for granted. Lord, You alone "know the secrets of the heart." Reveal to me any hidden sins that I may not yet see. Show me any place in my life where sin remains unrecognised. Open my eyes to t...

In a time when the land itself seemed to weep with hunger, a family fled from Bethlehem in search of life. Elimelech, his wife Naomi, and their two sons Mahlon and Kilion ventured to Moab, a foreign land that promised refuge. But Moab, while offering them a temporary home, became a place of heartbreak. First, Naomi lost Elimelech, her beloved husband. Then, after her sons had married Moabite women, Orpah and Ruth, they too were taken from her. In the space of years, Naomi’s once full heart was left barren, emptied of the loves that had defined her life. Yet, within the shadows of this sorrow, the whispers of God’s plan began to stir. Naomi, broken yet not without faith, learned that God had once again provided for His people in Bethlehem. She decided to return, urging her daughters-in-law to stay behind in Moab and find new husbands. Orpah, with tears in her eyes, kissed Naomi goodbye. But Ruth... Ruth held on. "Don’t ask me to leave you," she pleaded. "Where you go, I ...

Our Father “…therefore, pray … Our Father in heaven …” Matthew 6: 9 Here’s how Jesus taught us to pray: 1) Our Father in heaven. When you say “Father,” you acknowledge that you’re part of God’s family and have a special relationship with Him. This relationship entitles you to approach Him anytime, confident that you are loved, welcomed, and assured of His favor. When you say “in heaven,” you recognize that you are drawing from the highest source of goodness, grace, mercy, provision, protection, and authority. What a privilege! 2) Hallowed be Your Name. This should always be foremost in your mind: “Whatever I do today, Lord, let it honor You.” Your life should inspire others to want to know the One you serve. 3) Your Kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Every time you choose to say no to yourself and yes to God’s will, you demonstrate what it means to live as a citizen of His kingdom. Note the words “as it is in heaven.” Is anyone in heaven fearful or doubting? ...

1. Make up your mind: Spiritual growth doesn’t happen passively. It requires a deliberate decision and commitment. As James 1:7 warns, a person who is uncertain and wavering cannot expect to receive from the LORD. To build a meaningful relationship with Him, prioritise it above all else and set your heart steadfastly towards spiritual growth. 2. Break up your will: Surrendering your will to God and aligning it with His purposes is crucial for spiritual progress. Like Israel wandering in circles in the wilderness despite being so close to the Promised Land, it illustrates the importance of obedience and alignment with God's will. As Hebrews 13:20-21 reassures, when we allow God to work in us, He equips us to fulfil His good purposes. 3. Wake up your faith: Act on the promptings of God’s Spirit and trust His guidance. Hebrews 11:6 reminds us that faith is foundational; those who seek God earnestly are rewarded. Trusting in God's faithfulness and diligently seeking Him w...

…He will receive his reward. - 1 Corinthians 3:14 NIV Scripture 1: "...The fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. If it is burned up, he will suffer loss..." - 1 Corinthians 3:13-15 Scripture 2: "No one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age." - Mark 10:29-30 NIV Scripture 3: "When you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous." - Luke 14:13-14 NIV These Scriptures clearly teach that God rewards your deeds. Some rewards will come in this life, and some will come in the next. Perhaps you find yourself saying, "I served God faithfully, so why am I still struggling? Doesn’t God notice or care?" Yes, God notic...

Isaiah 59:16 (KJV): "And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore, his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him." Lord, You know my heart, as I have laid it bare before You in my prayers. Sometimes, we drift away from praying and become hardened towards You because our interest in prayer is often superficial. We say we pray, read about its benefits, and feel uplifted, but Isaiah suggests that You are astonished by such shallow views of prayer. True worship and intercession must go hand in hand; one cannot exist without the other. Intercession means aligning our minds with Christ’s concerning those for whom we pray. Too often, instead of worshipping You, we get caught up in analysing how prayer works. Are we truly worshipping You, or are we debating with You? Doubting Your ways shows we are not in true worship. We bombard You with our demands, dictating our desires, without seeking to align with the min...

Once upon a time, the people of Israel stood on the brink of a great journey. They were about to cross the Jordan River and conquer lands inhabited by powerful nations with towering cities. The inhabitants of these lands were the fearsome Anakites, giants known for their strength and might. The Israelites trembled at the thought, having heard tales of their invincibility. But a reassuring message came to them: "Do not fear, for the Lord your God will go ahead of you like a devouring fire. He will destroy and subdue these nations before you, and you will quickly drive them out as He has promised." The Lord reminded them, "After I have driven these nations out, do not think it is because of your own righteousness that you are taking possession of this land. No, it is because of the wickedness of these nations that I am removing them. Remember, it is not your righteousness or integrity that grants you this land, but My promise to your forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jaco...

2 Peter 1:3-4 "According as His divine power [GOD] has given unto us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that has called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these, you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." If you’re facing a challenge to your faith, the very first thing you should do is turn to the Word and find the promise of God that addresses your situation. Second Peter 1:3-4 assures us that there is a promise for everything we face. Once you have found that promise and settled it in your heart, focus your attention on it. Keep it in the forefront of your mind. My stepson demonstrated this to his dad. He wanted to visit his granny, but there was no money for petrol. Our stepson prayed and, in faith, believed that they would be able to visit her. He prayed for several days and believed it would happen. He...

Good morning, Abba Father. Lord, “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” I praise Your holy name, for You are holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty. There is none like You. Thank You for a new day, for keeping me safe, and for guiding me through each day. I acknowledge that I cannot do life on my own. This morning, I humble myself before You, Abba Father, my LORD. You are worthy of my praise. I love and worship You. Come into my life today; I want to fall deeply in love with You. “For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison” (2 Corinthians 4:17). LORD, as I reflect on this verse, I admit that as I age, fear grows within me. I am less inclined to take risks and more prone to worry about the past, present, and future. I recognisse my afflic...

May grace and peace be with you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ. He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight, in love. He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will, to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the Beloved. In Him, we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that He lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, He made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. In Him, we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who w...

Discover the power of unwavering faith and integrity in your own life. Just as Daniel's steadfast devotion and trust in his God led to his miraculous deliverance, so too can your faith guide you through trials and adversities. Stand firm in your beliefs, act with integrity, and witness the wonders that unfold when you trust in the LORD God. Be inspired by Daniel's story and let it strengthen your resolve to live a life of faith and righteousness. Once upon a time, in a vast kingdom ruled by King Darius, there lived a wise and faithful man named Daniel. Recognising Daniel's exceptional spirit and trustworthiness, the king appointed him as the chief administrator over the entire kingdom. This honour sparked jealousy among the other administrators and governors, who plotted to bring Daniel down. Unable to find any fault in his conduct, they decided to target his faith. They convinced the king to issue a decree stating that for thirty days, no one could pray to any god or hum...

Sovereign LORD, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for You. When I reflect on all creation and every living being, I stand in awe of Your might and power. LORD, I worship You, bringing You praise and honour. You show love to thousands but also carry consequences for the sins of the fathers upon their children. O great and powerful GOD, whose name is the LORD Almighty, great are Your purposes and mighty are Your deeds. Your eyes are open to all the ways of men; You reward everyone according to their conduct and deeds. You performed miraculous signs and wonders in Egypt and have continued them to this day, both in Israel and among all mankind, gaining renown that is still Yours. You brought Your people Israel out of Egypt with signs and wonders, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and with great terror. You gave them the land You had sworn to give their forefathers, a land flowing with milk and honey. They came in ...

My Concerns "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." - Hebrews 11:1 Lord, it is time to transform my beliefs. I am putting my trust in Your unmerited favor. Today, I step out in faith to embrace the same unwavering favor that Jesus Christ has in store for me. I expect open doors and seek breakthroughs in my job, regardless of natural limitations. Lord, I am Your child, an heir of God and co-heir with Jesus Christ. I stand in the gap and dedicate Andus, myself, Alezandra, Pieter, Andus Jr., Jacques, Didi, Gizel, Cuba, Devan, Johan, Odette, Anabelle, Briana, Jean, Jacklyn, Mom, Oom Frik, Elsa, Llewelyn, Zelda, Sean, Patrick, Duane, Nikita, Matthew, Elijah, Paul, Carla, Jadyn, Adam, Jocelyn, Aurther, Dante, Benjamin, Violette, Alison, Elma, Peet, Elmarie, Ben, kid, Douw, Zayeen, Megan, Josh, Hannelie, Alan, Rina, Karina, Petro, Wilma, Koos, Saddika, Kevin, Moosa, Aneesa, Lorraine, Kiewiet, Deon, and Veronica to You. Lord, I pray f...

May this prayer inspire and uplift you. Trust in God's guidance and believe in His love and favor for you and those you care about. Reach out to Him daily, and let His wisdom and presence fill your life. Good morning, Lord, my Father God, Today, I want to express my love for You, Lord. I know You hear and see me in everything I do. I love You, and I ask for Your guidance. Let Your will be done in my life today. You created me, and even though I may not always understand why, I believe I am Yours. Your word says You have called me by name, and I am Yours.

Good morning, Abba Father, God. You are a merciful savior and mighty deliverer. Thank you for rescuing me from darkness and sin through Jesus' sacrifice. You are victorious! I know you hear me when I cry out for help. Thank you. According to your word in Psalm 107:13-14, "Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart." Reflecting on your word this morning, I am humbled by your care for someone like me. Today, I cry out to you for help. I have confessed my sins and ask for your forgiveness. I stand in the gap for each person on my list this morning: Andus, me, Alezandra, Pieter, Andus Jnr., Jacques, Didi, Gizel, Cuba, Devan, Johan, Odette, Anabelle, Briana, Jean, Jacklyn, Mom, Oom Frik, Elsa, Llewelyn, Zelda, Sean, Patrick, Duane, Nikita, Matthew, Elijah, Paul, Carla, Jadyn, Adam, Jocelyn, Aurther, Dante, Benjamin, Violette, Alison, Elma, Peet, ...

"As I face a dark moment in my life, I'm searching for a lifeline of encouragement. I'm feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn. With over 30,000 verses in the Bible, it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack to discover a life verse that will speak directly to my heart. Right now, I'm struggling to encourage myself as my mom is going through a tough time with financial struggles and lack of provisions. I feel discouraged, afraid, and uncertain about the future. It's like everything I hold dear is under attack and out of reach. As I read about King David's story in 1 Samuel 30, I see that he, too, faced a similar crisis when his families were kidnapped and everything they had was destroyed. But instead of giving up, he chose to "encourage himself in the Lord" (1 Samuel 30:6). That's exactly what I need to do – encourage myself in the Lord. In Psalm 119:28, I'm reminded to "strengthen [myself] according to [God's...

Good morning, Abba Father. Great and mighty are You, LORD my God. I worship and praise Your Holy Name. Abba, You are wonderful, and I adore You with all my heart, soul, and mind. Thank You, Abba, for a new day. Thank You for being patient, kind, and understanding towards me. 1 Chronicles 16:11 reminds me, “Seek the LORD and His strength; seek His presence continually!” Today, LORD, I seek You. Abba, I seek Your strength and desire to be in Your presence every day. I humbly commit my day and work into Your hands, surrendering my life and everything I do to You. O Abba, I love You so very much. As I navigate through my day, Your Word is my guide. In Matthew 11:28, You say, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” I stand before You this morning, asking for Your hand to shield me, my family, and my friends. I dedicate each person I name into Your hands: Andus, me, Alezandra, Pieter, Andus Jr., Jacques, Didi, Gizel, Cuba, Devan, Johan, Odette, Anabelle, B...

Good morning, Abba Father. LORD, to honor You, I am humbled that You even notice me. In all humility, I want to say thank You for being a God who cares about me. Thank You, LORD God, for being my God. I have no other god but You. I cannot imagine any other god as great and merciful as You are. I will bow down and worship You alone, LORD, my God. Thank You for being with me every step of the way. Forgive me when I stray and do my own thing. I ask for forgiveness for my sins, both known and unknown, today, LORD. Abba Father, today I take Your yoke upon me. Help me learn from You, for You are gentle and humble in heart, and let me find rest for my soul. For Your yoke is easy, and Your burden is light. Today, God, I am humbled that You carefully consider my life. Even though I am here on earth for just a moment, You care deeply about that moment. When I think about this, it humbles me. O LORD, who am I that the God of the universe cares about someone like me? Thank You for loving me. Toda...

Good morning, Abba Father, LORD, thank You for today. Your mercy is new every morning, and I give You praise and glory. You are my King and my Lord, and I want to honor You. Thank You for keeping me focused and for opening doors that were closed. Thank You for caring for me, my family, and my friends. Thank You for providing for us every day. LORD, thank You for leading me out of distress into a place of abundance. You are exalted in Your power; who is a teacher like You? This morning, I bring my family and friends into Your remembrance and dedicate them to Your hands. I pray for their protection and ask that You cover each person with the blood of Jesus. Clothe us in Your mercy today and shield us with Your love. I lift up Johan, Odette, Anabelle, Briana, Jean, Jacklyn, Mom, Oom Frik, Andus, myself, Alezandra, Pieter, Andus Jnr., Jacques, Didi, Gizel, Cuba, Devan, Elsa, Llewelyn, Zelda, Sean, Patrick, Duane, Nikita, Matthew, Elijah, Paul, Carla, Jadyn, Adam, Jocelyn, Arthur, Dante, B...

Good morning, Father God. LORD God, I want to honor You with every thought, idea, intention, and action. Today, I give You permission to transform me. Let my entire life be a testament to Your glory and honor. You are holy and worthy of all my praise and adoration. My life is Yours. Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV) says, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Today, I dedicate and pray specifically for my family and friends, bringing each person before You in humble prayer: Jacques, Didi, Gizel, Cuba, Devan, Johan, Odette, Anabelle, Briana, Jean, Jacklyn, Andus, me, Alezandra, Pieter, Andus Jr., Mom, Oom Frik, Elsa, Llewelyn, Zelda, Sean, Patrick, Duane, Nikita, Matthew, Elijah, Paul, Carla, Jadyn, Adam, Jocelyn, Arthur, Dante, Benjamin, Violette, Alison, Elma, Peet, Elmarie, Ben, their children, Douw, Zayeen, Megan, Josh, Hannelie, Alan, Rina, Karina, Petro, Wilma, Koos, Saddika...

You are my King and my Lord, and I worship You. Today, I come before You, asking for Your protection over us. Thank You, Lord, for Your loving kindness and for watching over me and my family. I am grateful for Your goodness and mercy towards each one of us. Lord, I love You, I need You, and I worship You. Today, I dedicate my family and friends to You, and I speak the Name of Jesus Christ over each of them. I declare Your Word from Numbers 6:24-26 over every person: "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace." I lift up Jacques, Didi, Gizel, Cuba, Devan, Johan, Odette, Anabelle, Briana, Jean, Jacklyn, Andus, me, Alezandra, Pieter, Andus Jnr., Mom, Oom Frik, Elsa, Llewelyn, Zelda, Sean, Patrick, Du...

Good morning, Abba Father. Lord, thank You for today. Your mercies are new every morning, and I give You all the praise and glory. You are the Alpha and the Omega, my LORD, the King of kings, and the LORD of lords, my GOD. I praise You, LORD, El Emunah, the Faithful GOD. Lord, thank You for Your unwavering faithfulness, even when I fall short. I come to You with gratitude for today and commit all that I do into Your hands. I seek Your guidance and Your presence today. Without You, LORD, I am nothing. You know me, where I am, and who I am. Without You, I cannot face today. I trust that You are in control of my life, and I acknowledge that we cannot manage without Your provision. I humbly ask for Your forgiveness. I forgive those who have hurt or offended me and release them in Jesus Christ's name. LORD, today I need to call 20 people. I pray humbly for Your assistance. Please send an angel to smooth the way for me. I need these people to attend the Expo. I seek not accolades, but f...
