Submission to Governing Authorities

Romans 13:1New International Version (NIV)

13 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 


Listening to the kids talk about their teachers and friends it struck me that today's children do not respect people in authority.  I also notice the way they address me and the way they speak to me.  I wonder what their futures will look like going forward.  It seems to submit to people in authority means that you are weak and have no ‘back bone’ according to what I hear.

Going forward it is my heart’s desire to be submissive to people in authority and to work as though I am working for the Lord and not for people.  Always going the extra mile, continually working hard and making my work the best there is.  Perhaps by leading by example people will change their perspective on life.

Prayer:  Abba Father humbly I submit my life into Your hands and pray for guidance, asking that You will help me be submissive to authority and realise Your hand is over each one of us.  Guide us as we go through this day in Jesus Holy name.  Amen

What Will love Be Like in 100 Years?



When I look at today’s people I do wonder if there will be love in this world in 100 years from today and I do believe that we will still see love on this earth.

God is the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow and let’s be honest God is love.  I have always maintained that love is not a feeling but an act of your heart.

People will probably be techno geniuses and they will do all kinds of interesting things, but love will never change, our hearts will always be in the right place.

Women are always going to be beautiful and I believe mothers that will love their children.
I can see people walking hand in hand laughing and looking after their children.  They will want the best for their children.  

Love will endure whatever comes its way, because love is kind, unforgiving, compassionate, friendly, passionate and available to help you always.  Even in a 1 000 years love will endure and stay forever.  Jesus so loved the world that He died for our sins and arose and sits on the right hand of the LORD Almighty God.

My wish list - Royal Albert set ;-)


Today I am putting this out there, it is my heart’s desire to own a beautiful Royal Albert set, as a South African it seems almost impossible but I do so love this set.  My aunty used to serve us coffee in her set and I used to admire the beautiful cups.

To my mind this was a sign of such royalty, I would also love to have tea with Queen of England one day.  You know just sitting in her company chatting about the Lord.   

God says in His word that He will give us our hearts desires.  I believe that one day I will be the proud owner of this lovely set.


God is good, all the time!!

Secret to life ...


Jeremiah 29:11 New Living Translation (NLT)
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

As I think on this verse as many of you do as well, I believe that the Lord is speaking into my heart.  

Think about this for a moment, to me:

  •  This is my foundation in life
  •  The Lord says: ‘for I (the Lord) knows the plans He has for me (Yvette)
  •  They are plans for good and
  •  NOT for disaster
  •  To give me (Yvette) a future and a hope
Awesome! The Lord Almighty knows me, He knows the plans He has for me and they are for good and not a disaster, to give me a future and hope.  

The secret to my life is God Almighty, the Bible and Jesus Christ with the Holy Spirit. 

What is your secret?

Olive Tree



As I was doing some work today it struck me that I dream t of an Olive tree and the branches had green olives on them.  Because of my inquisitive nature I wanted to know what this could possibly mean.  I the found that it was a really nice dream and the Hebrew word for ‘olive tree’ is es shemen, which literally means ‘tree of oil’ as described by William F. Dankenbring 

Now as you have come to realized I always want to know more and started to dig and then I found this blessing:  Deuteronomy 7:13Expanded Bible (EXB)

I have decided to make this blessing mine and want you also to receive the blessings with me today. 
The Lord God will love and bless me (and you).  The Lord will make the number of our people grow; He will bless me (and you) with children.  The Lord God will bless my fields (my work place and yours) with good crops and will give me grain, new wine, and oil.  The Lord God will bless my (and your) herds with calves and my (and yours) flocks with lambs in the land He promised my (and yours) ancestors He would give us.

May the Lord GOD bless you today and may you enjoy His supernatural favor in Your live going forward.  Amen
