Abandonment - why?
As I
watched the movie ‘the Single moms’ I was so angry and to be honest very, very disappoint
with my ex-husband.
When I
think about my children I must be honest and tell you that my children all must
be suffering from ‘abandonment’. Firstly
my ex-husband never seemed to have the time or care about his own
children. He was either too busy and no
he lives far, far away. When I needed
him to help me and pay alimony he ‘was out of a job’. So I had no other avenues to help me with my
children. I don’t know how many nights
we eat bread and drink some coffee. I didn’t
have enough cash for groceries. I
finally got over him and moved on. I
then I got married and left my children in Johannesburg, they were according to
me, grownups and are able to look after themselves. Honestly today I regret leaving them and not
actually looking out for their wellbeing.
I pray the
Lord will forgive both me and my ex-husband for abandoning our children. Lord Jesus in humility I confess and ask You
humbly please Lord forgive me for abandoning my children. Please fill their lives with rich love,
kindness and loads of abundance.
I feel so
sad for the things I did and I hope moms and dads will start focusing on their
families and stop look for greener pastures.

New action - new outcome
Hosea 1 New International
Version (NIV)
3 So he married Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.
Hose was a prophet of the Living God. God told Hosea go and find a promiscuous woman and have children with her. It seems that today’s children are very promiscuous and we don’t seem to worry too much about it. We tell them use protection and don’t get into trouble but we don’t teach them to abstain and keep themselves pure for the marriage bed.
I wonder if Gomer the daughter of Diblaim was taught to be a promiscuous woman or if she was so beautiful that she just couldn’t help herself and was drawn to men sexually. She just couldn’t help herself?
We should rein in our children in, teach them the right way and the outcome will be so much better. Don’t leave them going about their own business, they are too young to decided what’s right from wrong, we must teach our children. While they are young and when they grow old they will know right from wrong.
The appointed time
Daniel 11 : 33 - 35 (NIV)
33 “Those
who are wise will instruct many, though for a time they will fall by the sword
or be burned or captured or plundered. 34 When they fall, they will receive a little help,
and many who are not sincere will join them. 35 Some of the wise will
stumble, so that they may be refined, purified and made spotless until the time
of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.
Reading the Bible and
currently my daily reading has brought me to the book of Daniel. When reading it I must tell you that I feel
awed by the amazing and spectacular visions Daniel was honored to receive from
the Lord. On reading the vision and just
focusing on all Daniel has heard seen and experienced I must be honest in
saying I am awed by the visions.
Thinking of the times
we are living in and looking at our world right now it almost seems like we are
in the ‘appointed time’. There are
constant wars waged against Israel. Russian’s
are at war, Americans are at war. Ebola is
taking many lives in Africa. Things are
truly upside down. Shouldn’t we get back
to basic and call upon the Lord our God of Israel, in the Holy name of Jesus
Christ?
Or do we believe we
have so much time left it won’t matter; it’s still in the future.

Joy
In these last couple of weeks I have been blessed with so
many feelings of joy. In August I
received an email telling me that I was chosen and that my daily devotion would
be published on the 1st of September 2014. Not grasping what was said in the email I
read and re-read the mail a couple of times to make sure I understood what it
meant. My goodness, it struck me that
something I wrote was seen as good enough to be published with very well-known celebrities.
As the excitement took me giggling and laughing I ran to my
husband who was sitting watching TV and told him the good news. My eyes shining and the biggest smile you can
think of on my face. The bubbling
feeling of excitement building up as I re-read the email, the fact that I would
be published made me laugh and giggle again and again. My heart was racing, I felt wonderful and suddenly
felt I meant something.
In a moment my entire life was lifted up and I felt like I
was being able to see again, the joy of knowing that I was seen as important
enough to be placed into a daily devotion with so many famous people made my
day. I still feel so light headed and
giggle each time I think about the news, I watch the mail and impatiently await
the new book. To see my own name
published is something I am sure you all have experience except me.
Joy fills my heart and it feels like all I want to do is
sing and laugh and giggle and jump up and down enjoying the feeling of
well-being and the knowledge that my God is able to make my life turn around in
an instant. I live each moment in awe
and waiting with anticipation for each day because the joy of finding out there
is so much in store for me.
Lord Jesus I
love you.

Time
12 And at that time [of the end] Michael shall
arise, the great [angelic] prince who defends and has charge of your
[Daniel’s] people. And there shall be a time of trouble, straitness, and
distress such as never was since there was a nation till that time. But at that
time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written
in the Book [of God’s plan for His own].
Imagine this
and no disrespect intended.
It’s the
year 2050 and time has run out for the human race on the face of the
earth. The stench of their sin reaches
heaves gates. The people are so
technology wise and seem to believe they are so cleaver and that there just isn’t
a God. The odd person still preaching
about the Lord Jesus – is being hunted down, persecuted and made fools of. Life on earth has become really challenging
for people that don’t bear the mark of the beast.
The council
gathered in the Lords presence and stood as God walked into the great hall and
took His place on the throne. The Lord
Jesus is seated next to Him. Michael
steps up and forward. As he bows his
head and waits for the Lord to address him, his wings spread out. The Angels shout in one voice “Holy, Holy,
Holy is the Lord God Almighty!!!”
God speaks
to Michael “You have to go and gather my children.” Michael looks at the Lord God and then to
Jesus the Lord. “My Lord God, Your will
is my command.”
Michael
turns around and walks out of the great hall toward the doors. “Michael”
the Lord Jesus calls out his name.
Stopping in his tracks he turns to the Lord and waits. Jesus the Lord is standing next to him. “Be gentle with the children, the aged and
the weak.”
Michael
arrives on the earth, there is destruction, confusion, wars, oppression and all
kinds of trouble. People are distressed
and the nations are at war with each other.
Michael looks at the hurt and pain on many of the people’s faces. There loveless lives reveal the anger and
disappointment and they are shouting hateful chants at strange people.
The angels
and Michael start to gather the people who have been written in the Book of
life. People in hordes and then the
unsaved realises what is happening and start rushing toward the saved. They want to come along too. The time ran out for them, too late.……
