God is our shelter, our refuge!

 Psalm 91:1-2

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the LORD: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I trust Him.

In time of trouble, where do you run to? We may have all sorts of list but our first option, should be running to our Heavenly Father. The reason why we do that, is because we trust Him, it's in His nature to be protective of us, to be caring and compassionate towards us. This encourages us that He will never turn His back on us, He will shelter and keep us safe. In the spiritual realm, a lot is happening, and I believe God is fighting our battles that we don't even see. By virtue of you confessing that you are a child of God, you basically declared war with the forces of darkness, the kingdom of darkness. Which is why, life may seem like a battle, where at times you find yourself fighting off one thing after another, these relates to the spiritual battles to take you out. John 10:10 makes it clear that the objective of the enemy is to either kill you, destroy you or steal from you; or all of the above. Which is why, Ephesians 6:12 tells us that: "For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places." And these may manifest as physical issues, but they are sent by these evil principalities. Hence it is important to have a covering, a shelter and that's who God is to us!

Therefore, we need not have to live in fear (2 Timothy 1:7), but to recognize our Source of protection, strength and safety. The bible tells us that God has discharged angels to be in charge of us, protecting and keeping us safe (Psalm 91:11). Again, in time of trouble, call on Him, He is more than willing and able to come to your rescue.

Make God's beautiful deeds known...

Image
 1 Chronicles 16:24 Publish His glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things He does. Wow, this is such a timely word for me, considering the journey I'm currently in. God is a faithful Father, who is true to His word. Numbers 23:19 tells us that He is not a man that He should lie and that what He says, shall be. Furthermore, God informs us of things to come, through various platforms and through different servants of His. It is up to us to receive the word, believe and wait for it to come to pass, or to just disregard it. I have learned that God is able to speak to me through His servants that could be talking to a number of people, but that He is able to speak exactly to my situation. So, for me, it is time that I make His glorious deeds known. I believe what God told me, is manifesting faster than I can even keep up with. One of them is the grace God has shown me through the selection into the Mrs South Africa programme, this has not been my doing but...

Let us remember the true meaning of Christmas

We are drawing closer to Christmas and it dawned on me that we have to take a moment and remember the true meaning of Christmas, the reason why we celebrate Christmas. On this day, we remember that the king of kings was born, our Saviour, our redeemer in whom we find ourselves free. Free to have a relationship with our Father, free from sin and death, free from bondage, free from sicknesses. That we are guaranteed an external life after death. This shows that it is indeed a BIG deal. This was the greatest gift that God gave us, one we should be grateful for, for eternity. I'm reminded of one of the oldest bible verses I learnt which is John 3:16 that tells us that God LOVED the world so much, that He gave His one and only SON, so that whoever believes in Him, will not perish but will have eternal life. That is such a blessing!! Prophet Isaiah told of this in Isaiah 9:6 which says " For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. An...

Strive to be the good soil...

 Matthew 13:16  But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.   For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.  “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means:   When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path .   The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.   But since they have n o root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.   The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the w orries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word , making it unfruitfu l.   But the seed falling o...
