Secret and presumptuous sins

Psalm 19: 12 – 14 AMPC

“Who can discern his lapses and errors? Clear me from hidden [and unconscious] faults. Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then shall I be blameless, and I shall be innocent and clear of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my [firm, impenetrable] Rock and my Redeemer.”

I have come to a place in my life confessing “known as well as unknown sins” before God. I don’t want to come with this attitude that I am blameless, I do not believe that I can even say that I am blameless, I think there are attitudes and sins in my life that I know of and others I might not even be aware of.

Prayer

Lord create in me a clean heart and a pure spirit. Help me confess my sins known as well as unknown sins. Please Lord help me draw near to You, cleanse me Lord in Jesus Christ name. Amen

#Friday_Jesus is a Chain Breaker

Psalm 118: 24 AMP

“This [day in which God has saved me] is the day which the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

Good Morning Sunshine!

Today is a beautiful sunny day here in South Africa, Mpumalanga. This morning before my alarm went off; I was laying thinking about the LORD. I checked my cell phone and it was out of battery. I checked my tablet and saw that it was just after 4 am. I started my day reading God's Word and thinking about the gifts I have received from God for today. God is so good and so mighty. I cannot see myself without Him. My life would be meaningless.

God has blessed me with great weekends. I work to 12 o’clock and then we are on our way home. My weekend starts early. I have time to do what I please and enjoy a lovely sunny day. Praising You LORD, Jesus, I love You Jesus. My soul is in Your hands. I cannot see myself standing on my own. I am thinking of the drive home. Passing all the farm fields and the beautiful country side, seeing Your hands over the hills and fields with all the cattle and maze farms. What an awesome sight LORD. Thank You for today, thank You, for being here for me.

Prayer

LORD, help me Jesus, I needed You so, please help me spread Your Word. I needed You so, I am sure we all need You. Lord bless each person reading my blog today, blessings in abundance, we place our souls in Your hands. LORD Jesus, Amen

Time is running out!

Romans 13: 11 – 12 AMP

“Do this, knowing that this is a critical time. It is already the hour for you to awaken from your sleep [of spiritual complacency]; for our salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed [in Christ]. The night [this present evil age] is almost gone and the day [of Christ’s return] is almost here. So let us filing away the works of darkness and put on the [full] armour of light.”

Repent, I am calling you to repent of your sins and call on the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, you may have stolen, you may have murder, you may have lied, whatever your sin. I am calling you to repent today! If you are angry with someone today forgive them, speak to them and let the offence go. Love your brothers and sisters. Learn to appreciate each other and realize the hour is coming.

Have you noticed have quick time is moving these days? It was January just the other day and look we are almost into November. Job chapter 9 verse 8 “which also spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.” It is clear that God is in control and He is spreading out the universe and He is in control over time and space.

I do believe we are living in the last days, time is flying by and it seems to be accelerating. I am reminded of Matthew Chapter 24 verse 22 to 24 Amplified “And if those days [of tribulation] had not been cut short, no human life would be saved; but for the sake of the elect (God’s chosen ones), those days will be shortened. Then if anyone says to you [during the great tribulation], ‘look! Here is the Christ,’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and they will provide great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect (God’s chosen ones).

It seems ridiculous I know but I do believe we need to repent and call on the Lord Jesus, our time is running out so fast it scares me. The Lord is calling you today, repent and accept the Lord Jesus Christ into your own life now. Do it now because tomorrow isn't promised and you do not know what can happen. I know God loves you, yes He loves you, He called you by name, He knows where you live and the number of hair on your head. Come please do not delay.

Prayer

Lord, humbly I pray to forgive us we have sinned against You knowingly or unknowingly. Lord, we want to draw near to the Lord Jesus Christ and we want to be Your children. Lord, we believe that You have forgiven us our sins. We accept You Lord Jesus Christ as our Lord and saviour. We repent and call on You today. Lord Your blood was shed so that we may have eternal life. Here we are, we accept You, Lord Jesus. Amen.

“Give an account of yourself to God.”

Romans 14: 12 AMP

“So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.”

I get so irritated when I know someone is shirking their responsibilities. Posing the quest "why haven't you done this?" Their response is "I do not know."

The sad part is they keep on getting away with "I do not know." It makes me angry but then I read that we all are going to give an account of our own lives to God.

I have also noticed that when in a tight spot this person will start blaming the next person. I was under the impression that so and so, was going to do this and that. When in fact it was this person's job.

How do I deal with them? Well, I do get angry and try and make them do whatever but it rarely works. They manage to get out of this position. I believe they are good at manipulating the matter and me for one.

Taking responsibility for their actions is not something they deal with. In the end, I will do whatever or someone else does. I seem to be fighting a losing battle.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Lord You know who I am referring to in this blog. Today I want to take responsibility for my own actions. Yes, I know when I am in the wrong and I realise You are in control over my life and will show me the way forward. I have been in this position for lack of responsibility and also lack of doing my best job always. Please forgive me and help me move forward in Jesus Christ name. Amen

God appointed my days before it happened!

Esther 2: 17 NIV

“Now the king was attracted to Esther more than to any of the other women, and she won his favour and approval more than any of the other virgins. So he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.”

I have come to realize that God has appointed my days before they even happen. There was a time in my life that I felt that I was not in the right place and that my days were not ordained. Then I came to realize God is in control and He knows where I am. He knows who I spend my time with and what I am doing.

Even in these interesting times in my life, not knowing what is going to happen tomorrow or next year. I realized that God knows and has a purpose for my life. I just need to hold onto Him. When I read the book of Esther I saw how God opened doors for Esther. She was one of many young girls.

I realized she didn’t hear from God but from her uncle telling her if she doesn’t do what is right someone else will. God was opening doors for her, she found favour in Gods sight and also favour with the king. Remember there must have been a number of pretty girls to choose from yet she found favour with the king.

I believe we need to trust in God and not worry about too many things. God has a plan in place and we are in the right place.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Lord sometimes I feel I missed my calling, I something think I am not doing what I am supposed to be doing. Then I realized You are still in control and that You know where I should be and what I should be doing. I thank You Lord for watching over me. I love and adore You. Amen
