Yvette's Whispers of Faith

Psalm 71: 20 “You who have shown me many troubles and distresses will revive me again, and will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.” These couples of years have been a merry-go-round in my life.  Some days were good and some days were not so good.  I had to cope with stepchildren that didn’t understand me.  The challenge of rearing these kids was something else.  Can you believe 7 years down the line and I feel I haven’t made any inroads.  I am still persevering and will win them over. Something that you don’t know is when you are used to being around people every day and even if you don’t talk to them they are there.  Then I found myself all alone, no one to talk to during the day, it was just me and my thoughts. It’s during these quiet time you start reflecting on your life and then you became aware of the mistakes and sins in your life.  It took me such a long time to get over myself and bouncing back wasn’t that easy....

Genesis 6: 22 “Noah did everything just as God commanded him.” What an awesome God I serve, this morning when I woke up I asked God to surprise me with something.  My book Daily Devotional Ebenezer has just been released for publication.  I am super excited and overwhelmed - all in one. You may think really?  Anyone can publish a book, how difficult can it be?  Sure enough, I do believe it is possible for other people to do this especially people with degrees and excellent writing skills, people that have studied the art or writing and who are checking their instruction manuals. I struggle with grammar mistakes, my official language is Afrikaans and writing and speaking in English is difficult.  I also am dyslexic resulting in spelling mistakes.  Then there is this dream that I want to write a book, not any book but a daily devotional.  When God gives you a dream you should do something about it, it took me so long to get this book...

Psalm 119: 147 "I rise before dawn and cry for help; I hope in your words." The first thought in my mind is "Good morning LORD."  I get up open the shower's hot water and get back into bed for another couple of minutes.  5 o'clock in the morning I feel just great, looking forward to a brand new day. I think of the work that lay ahead of me and pray asking God to help me do my best job today.  I pray asking for a good and helpful attitude. Sometimes I wake up during the night and my mind runs away with me, the devil reminds me of my past mistakes and then I struggle to fall asleep again.  In those early morning hours, I pray for help and trust my life into Gods hands. Heavenly Father, tonight I dedicate all my friends and family into Your hands, protect each one of us and keep us from harm.  We love and adore You, in Jesus name, Amen http://kellanpublishing.com/yvette-van-niekerk

Romans 15: 5 "May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus," Today I want to pray that we all will live in harmony and peace with each other.  As a Christian, it is my God-given duty to pray for my Church and the community around me.  Heavenly Father, Lord God I come humbly to You today asking that You will help me to stay the path.  Please give me the courage to endure and let me have an attitude that will bring glory to Your Holy Name.  Lord God I pray for expansion in our churches all around the world and I pray for growth spiritually. Lord, I am asking let Your will be done as it is in Heaven so on earth.  In the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen. http://kellanpublishing.com/yvette-van-niekerk now for sale at Kellanpublishing

James 4: 8 “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” This is my last key component, helping me decide on my goal.  Too many goals make me undecided and then I feel that I have become double-minded.  The problem with being double-minded is that you lose focus.  I cannot get my attention to stay on one specific matter because I have 5 different goals and not either one of them are talking to each other. I weight my options on each of the goals I have set for myself and see what I can reach and what I cannot.  I then put all my attention and time into the specific goal and work towards reaching my goal.  It takes time and practice and at the end of the day, I actually get to my desired goal. I hope that you enjoyed reading my thoughts on living a successful life and hopefully being happy at the same time.  I would recommend you write down what is important to ...

Habakkuk 2: 22 “And Jehovah answereth me and said: “Write a vision, and explain on the tables, that he may run who is reading it.” Key component number six is something to consider when you want to attain success in your personal life.  I write down my goals but I try and keep them realistic and I also write a couple down which seem impossible and scare me. I keep my eye on my goal and in my everyday life I try and focus on what I want to achieve.  You know my attitude is something I have been working on and because I struggle with a negative person I make sure I give my negative thoughts to God each and every day. Once I have reached my goal I can check it off my list.  I feel that I have accomplished something and focus on my next goal.  I have learned in this year that in becoming good in something I make a point of practicing it every day. Something I realized is that when writing down what I hope to achieve I really have to think about it. ...

Hebrews 11: 27 “By faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible.” Key component six to succeed in life is setting goals for my own life.  We see Moses left Egypt and moving on with his life. Setting goals for my life aren't easy and I struggle to see the future as other people do.  I try and visualize my life differently and I try and make goals that I can obtain most of which I do.  I set goals for myself and trust that I am able to get there; if my dreams aren’t scaring me then they are too easy to get to. Stretching myself each and every day is something I do, I work hard and make sure I do my best job now, with an expectation that I will meet my goals. You are able to set goals and make it to them, you just have to make up your own mind as to what you want in life. Prayer Lord Jesus help me set obtainable goals for my own life, show me where I should go and what You want me to do...

Proverbs 1: 5 “let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance -” My husband is in I.T. shame and he is constantly learning and writing exams.  The best is that if he doesn’t “sharpen his blade” he will fall behind and then he won’t have a job.  This is a key component to becoming successful in life. I.T. is one of those jobs where it is important to stay focused, read and observe in order to keep abreast with the latest in technology.  You cannot move forward in I.T. if you don’t keep on learning. I want to encourage you to do that course you saw, sharpen your blade, you are going to grow and it will bring maturity. The same applies to the Bible we need to constantly focus on the Word, learning and studying the word is important.  It helps us grow and sharpens our lives to maturity. Prayer Lord, we are open to learning, help us stay focused and learn as much as we can.  We all want to become mature...
