Reaching Your Full Potential

Never underestimate the power of the Lord God Almighty! He sees in you all the potential that He planned for you since before you were even born. He will take you to places unimaginable! You will see sights that you never thought you’d see. You will dream dreams that you never have dreamed before. All this and more, for those who live in God’s Kingdom.

You have in you the blueprints of the great and wonderful plans that were made long before you were conceived. I knew you existed before the creation of the world. I saw in you the potential to reach great heights! You may not have realised this yet but I am taking you along the road to much success – success that will astound! You will be operating under My leadership and receiving all directions necessary to reach your full potential in this life. It is all waiting for you. All you need do is step foot upon the path to Salvation and then watch what happens.

You will learn much. You will see things happen in your life that many will only ever dream about. You will go from one success to the next. Your life will be a succession of dreams all coming to fruition! This I am telling you so that you do not lose heart, for Satan loves to make you think that all these things are unachievable. He loves to destroy your confidence, but I promise you, if you place your trust in Me, you will be rewarded many times over, for I come that you may have life. Life in all its goodness and possibilities, and yes in all its abundance! For as the scripture says, John 10:10 NKJV “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

There will be many wonderful opportunities all strewn along your path. Some will come upon you like the wind! Others will be more evenly spaced out to allow you to catch your breath. There will be at times, an outpouring of My spirit upon you, teaching and showing you which way you should take in order that you may flow right along with your blessings.

Never be dismayed! Those days are over now! You will have achieved much and seen that I am sovereign over your life, so much so that you will look back and remember the days of old as only a distant memory. Those days were the dark ages, and now you have stepped into the light of My glory in My Kingdom. This is what it’s all about! For you, all this and more!

PS Just when you think that nothing good is going to happen in your life, remember My words to you. I am the resurrection and the life. I will give life to all those dry bones that have been lying on the ground. I will restore them back to life! Life in all its fullness! For I am the way, the truth and the life! Glory to God! Amen!

All glory for these words as always, goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.


Living Under Grace

When those people around you cannot understand the life that you are leading, tell them this, ‘I am living under the grace of the Almighty!’ While they may not quite understand what you are telling them now, they are certainly going to witness some amazing things unfold in your life and come to fruition.

Right now, you are being led upon a new track – one that is far from the imaginations of many. When people see where you are going, they will reach out and ask for the living God to show them the way also! They will be asking that you explain to them just what has been going on and why you have made so much advancement and progress in so little time. This is when they begin to understand that a life lived in harmony with the Lord, is a life of blessings and dreams coming true.

Being in the right place at the right timing is one of the many benefits of this life. You simply cannot go wrong! What you are about to see and experience is that all the events that begin to unfold around you, all add up to the amazing plan that God has for your life! There will be windows of opportunity everywhere! The more you take advantage of the opportunities which come your way, the more opportunities will present themselves to you. You will know in your heart which way to go and you will find that as you step out in faith, you will be supported, protected and guided along life’s highways.

The dry season is over now! You have found your way to fortune’s galore! Restoration of all the many dreams and plans that you once had is occurring right now, all around you.

Be that as it may, you must be careful that you never take for granted the many ways that you have been blessed by the Lord God Almighty. Be thankful always that He has led you to places unheard of by those around you. Always appreciate the way in which He has managed your life and you will be living always under the grace of the Almighty. Go and bless and be blessed, in Jesus mighty name! Amen!

PS The world around you doesn’t understand that just because it is faced with lack and poverty, that it does not have to succumb to that way of living. You will teach people the way by demonstrating how it is done, by living your life as a testimony to the blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Proverbs 4:18 NIV “The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.” Amen!

All glory for these words as always, goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Psalm 127 - In Praise of God's Goodness


1. If the LORD does not build the house,
the work of the builders is useless;
if the LORD does not protect the city,
it does no good for the sentries to stand guard.
2. It is useless to work so hard for a living,
getting up early and going to be late.
For the LORD provides for those he loves,
while they are asleep.

3. Children are a gift from the LORD;
they are a real blessing.
4. The sons a man has when he is young
are like arrows in a soldier’s hand.
5. Happy is the man who has
many such arrows.
He will never be defeated
when he meets his enemies in
the place of judgement.

Kingdom Rain!

Everybody listen! It is time that we all sing the praises of our Lord Jesus Christ because He is about to rain on you in all His glory! He is about to deliver you to His Kingdom blessings! Behold the lamb has come! Never before have we seen or heard of so much wonder in our lives! It has taken us all many years to arrive at this place of freedom, but now that we are here, let us all give praises to our Lord and King! Let’s all shout hallelujah! Psalm 101:1 NLT “I will sing of your love and justice, LORD. I will praise you with songs.”

The time has come for us all to experience what it means to be a part of His Kingdom. We are about to be filled with so much joy that we will hardly recognise ourselves. We are about to become a part of an amazing time in history that will all unfold very soon. What am I talking about here? I am talking about the coming of His Kingdom to all His followers. Luke 13:29 NLT “And people will come from all over the world—from east and west, north and south—to take their places in the Kingdom of God.”

Our lives are about to be transformed beyond belief! I am saying these things to you as the Lord is putting them in my heart. He knows what you and I have been through thus far, and he knows what is about to happen! All this time we have been waiting and waiting for our miracles, well, I’m here to tell you that the waiting is over! That’s right! We’ve been kept waiting long enough. Satan is not going to win this battle – the battle has been fought and won long ago by Jesus, and His finished work at the cross. John 19:30 NKJV “So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.”

There are times and seasons for all things under the sun. We have all experienced much pain and sorrow on our journeys, and now we are being lifted up by His strong arms and catapulted into our new destinies. Our destinies are to be filled with all the joy of the Lord! We are going to be so happy that we cannot help but to sing! Psalm 66:4 NLT “Everything on earth will worship you; they will sing your praises, shouting your name in glorious songs.”

All we need do now is to trust that we are being carried to a new place – a place where we are no longer the forgotten ones. We will be among the many who can say that their lives have been transformed by Jesus. He has saved us all from our sins, and now we can take our place amongst our brethren and enjoy all these great and wondrous blessings as they begin to unfold in our lives. Revelations 14:3 NKJV “They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth.”

There will be no more shame – only joy! Nor more tears – only laughter! Nor more slavery – only freedom! Freedom to live as the Lord intends for us all! May God bless you all as you read these words and may He show you the truth for yourselves. Peace, love and mercy be yours in Jesus name – hallelujah! Revelations 21:4 NKJV “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

PS This is only the beginning folks! Just wait and see! Watch and behold with your eyes as the blessings come upon you and your families. Your friends and associates will not believe their eyes! God bless! Isaiah 61:1-3 NKJV “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.” Amen.

All glory for these words as always goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Living a Life of Abundance

Blessed is he who knows that he belongs to the King! He will know what path he is on, and will experience the joy and blessings that come about when one is acquainted with the knowledge necessary to traverse these trails.

These paths are not ordinary paths! By no means are these paths travelled by ordinary measures and practices! No, they are paths that are journeyed via the supernatural, and they are filled with all the blessings of God!

So by now, you will see that what I am talking about here are the ways of the Kingdom - Kingdom Living with God steering the ship. He knows where all the pitfalls are. He has an overview of your life and everyone in it. He sees how all the plans fit together in order that you may receive all your blessings due. It is written Psalm 34:8-10 NKJV “Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.”

While those around you are living in poverty, you will see financial gain! While those in your neighbourhood are struggling to pay their mortgages, you will have all your debts paid and be living comfortably. Our God will meet those needs for you, so long as you continue to abide in Him and walk in His ways. John 15:5-8 NKJV “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples."

Those who are obedient to the Lord, will have many of their dreams coming to fruition, and will experience what is referred to as exponential blessings! It is not hard to see that if you choose the correct path, that is, the path to Salvation and Eternity, that you will come to know and experience all of this first hand. Isaiah 55:1-2 NKJV “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance.”

For those that truly follow God’s word, and who have learned by study and experience what it takes to walk this path, you will be living a very different life to those around you. Many will wonder how it is that you have become so successful in your standards of living, and you will have an answer for them. You will be able to say ‘Indeed, those who follow the Lord Jesus Christ will be led onward and upward to victory!’ Nothing will be impossible for you and you will have discovered for yourself that yes its true – with God, what is impossible for man is indeed possible for God! Praise His mighty name!

PS Psalm 36:5-9 NKJV “Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the great mountains; Your judgments are a great deep; O LORD, You preserve man and beast. How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings. They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures. For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light." Amen.

All glory for these words as always goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Season's of Joy

There will come a time in your life where you will look around and be happy with all that you have, and with all that surrounds you. You will have reached a plateau in your path, and you will be able to stop and just enjoy the scenery for a while.

It is a time of much joy for you; a time where you have reaped what you have sown. There is a season for everything, and this is a time of reflection and inner peace. Ecclesiastes 3:1 NKJV “To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven.”

If you have followed God’s will for your life, then you will be at a place where you can relax and enjoy the day, simply enjoying what God has prepared for you. He has made the way for you – now it is up to you to bask in it, giving thanks for each opportunity He has given you. Psalm 118:24 NKJV “This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.”

It is now time for you to enjoy the harvest from the seeds you planted previously. The type of seeds you planted will determine what you will now experience from the harvest. The good news is, if you planted love, then that love will come back to you, and you will experience the blessings that love brings! It may not be from the source you expected; nonetheless it will now come back to you – paid in full! James 3:18 NKJV “Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.”

Sometimes we may plant seeds of love in very dark places, and it may take a very long time before you reap a harvest from those seeds. But rest assured, you will receive back what you have given out, and you may be surprised to see where that love comes from! God is in charge of those details, and it is up to us to simply plant the seeds. 1 Corinthians 3:5-8 NKJV “Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor. For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.”

Therefore, we must be very careful what seeds we plant, for there will come a time in our lives where we experience the fruits of our labours, either to our greatest joy, or to our dismay. God’s will for you is that you produce good fruits! He wants you to prosper in your life and be successful in carrying out His will. Proverbs 12:12-14 NKJV “The wicked covet the catch of evil men, But the root of the righteous yields fruit. The wicked is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, But the righteous will come through trouble. A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, And the recompense of a man’s hands will be rendered to him.” Amen.

PS Isaiah 40:10 NKJV “Behold, the Lord GOD shall come with a strong hand, And His arm shall rule for Him; Behold, His reward is with Him, And His work before Him.” Amen.

All glory for these words as always goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

The Power Of Love

God is love. He shares His love with us every day. Many of the things we see around us are expressions of that love. We only need to look outside in nature to see that love unfolding every minute of every day. Every intricate detail has been taken care of, for the plants and the animals too.

Each facet of nature has its own very important role. It plays its own part so that everything can come together to form the perfect tapestry. Even something seemingly minute and insignificant is equally important in its function so that everything remains in perfect balance.

Life for us humans is like that too. No matter how seemingly insignificant our role is, it is still precious and important in God’s eyes. He has us placed exactly where we need to be, so that his perfect will shall be done.

This balance can be quite delicate at times. It takes only one of us to decide to do things our way instead of God’s way to upset this balance. When we interfere with God’s plan by taking matters into our own hands, this is when we can experience delays in the manifestation of our desires.

We must not interfere with God’s will. Of course, it goes without saying that if we are believing for something to become a reality in our lives, we must continue to stand on His word and never give up.

Patience is a virtue. It’s only when we lose faith that our lives become a shambles. God warns us about this in His word. He tells us to have patient endurance through all the trials and sufferings. He tells us this because He loves us and He wants us to receive all our blessings that are due to us! 1 Peter 5:10 NKJV “But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.”

Of course, we know that God made the ultimate sacrifice out of His love for us, and that is, He sent His one and only beloved Son to be born of the flesh, to walk amongst men, to heal the nations and to die for us so that we could live. Because of Jesus, we have been redeemed from the curse of the law. Galatians 3:13-14 NKJV “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree’), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”

The power of love can mend a broken heart, and comfort a lonely soul. The power of God’s love can move mountains! The power of God’s love can heal all our diseases and enable us to prosper in everything we do. All we need is a little faith and we can expect to see those miracles unfolding in our lives. Psalm 103:1-5 NKJV “BLESS the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” Amen.

PS 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NKJV “Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things, love never fails.” Amen.

All glory for these words as always goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

The Fruit of Thy Lips

Speak forth thy Holy Word and you will find yourself eating from thy table of goodness and abundance. I the Lord have spoken! It is essential on this walk to claim your inheritance and have all your desires fulfilled! It is essential because you are My children and this is what I desire for you. I have only one wish for my children and that is that they receive all that is rightfully theirs! Psalm 128:1-2 “Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in obedience to him. You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.” This is my promise to you.

For those who undeniably walk the walk, and talk the talk, they will have a plenitude of blessings come their way. There is much to be had for those who live to serve in the Kingdom. I will see to it that those who put their trust in Me bear much fruit. They will grow and prosper, not only in their spiritual life but in the area of wealth as well. Jeremiah 17:7-8 “But I will bless the person who puts his trust in Me. He is like a tree growing near a stream and sending out roots to the water. It is not afraid when hot weather comes, because its leaves stay green; it has no worries when there is no rain; it keeps on bearing fruit.”

Even when the circumstances around you may say that there is lack, lack and more lack, you will experience a different story! You will have all your needs met and your will receive some extra benefits and blessings along the way! People will look at you and marvel, ‘How is this so?’ You will be able to tell them that your God is taking care of you. Psalm 23:5-6 “You prepare a banquet for me, where all my enemies can see me; you welcome me as an honoured guest and fill my cup to the brim. I know that your goodness and love will be with me all my life; and your house will be my home as long as I live.”

So, in order to walk the walk, and talk the talk, one must be very careful what they say. It is imperative that you remember to always speak the words that you wish to experience, rather than saying it like it is. The facts may appear to you as though there is no hope in a situation. But My power is great unto you! You can have everything you desire.

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread! Be ever so careful and guard your words closely, for they are the path to either life or destruction! Proverbs 18:21 NKJV “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.”

When one considers the multitude of opportunities available to those who commit their lives into My hands, one can then begin to see and experience the miraculous life that can be had. Use the Scripture to create that life. Speak into your situations and desires. That is why it has been given to you; to provide for you the means necessary that you may fulfil your destinies. Psalm 35:27-28 NKJV “Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, ‘Let the LORD be magnified, Who has pleasure in the properity of His servant.’ And my tongue shall speak of Your righteousness And of Your praise all the day long.” Amen.

PS From the time you wake up until the time you retire, let praise and thanksgiving be the song in thy heart and the fruit of thy lips. Psalm 112:1-3 NKJV “PRAISE the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, Who delights greatly in His commandments. His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches will be in his house, And his righteousness endures forever.” Amen.

All glory goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, whom I believe as always, have gifted me with these words today. Amen.

Prosperity Thinking

n order to grow in the area of finance, we must look to the Bible for the truth. There are many texts that discuss the principles of abundance and prosperity in the Bible. The first thing we must remember though is that it should be our number one priority to serve in God’s Kingdom. If we make that our goal, then we shall be looked after in the area of wealth too. Matthew 6:33 “Instead, be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things.”

There are many ways in which to increase your wealth. The ways that I am referring to are the worldly ways. There are many ‘get rich quick schemes’ out there, as there are the more conservative ways like saving, investing and so on. However, with God in charge of our increase, we will come to experience much more wealth and abundance than is humanly possible. Deuteronomy 8:18 NKJV “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.”

Our finances are subject to the Lord. He will decide if and when we will be able to enjoy riches during our ‘stay’ here. We need to be grateful for what we already have, and even for the small things, as this will open the floodgates of God’s great big storehouse of blessings. Psalm 35:27 NKJV ‘Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favour my righteous cause; And let them say continually, “Let the LORD be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”

The truth is He will reward you according to your level of faith, and also for your obedience to Him. When we live according to His will, this sets in motion all the great many plans He wants to fulfil for us. When we disregard His ways, He is unable to grant us all of our rewards and blessings. Like when a parent says ‘no television until you do your homework or chores!’ Psalm 128:1-2 TNIV “Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in obedience to him. You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.”

There is much reward and favour shown to those who wait and hope in the Lord, whilst living lives that set the example of how one should live and act within the Body of Christ. When we are obedient to His laws and commands, His promise is that we may live in abundance and prosperity. Deuteronomy 28:1, 11 TNIV “If you fully obey the LORD your God, and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.....The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity.” So let us be the example that the Lord wants us to be, so that when we come before Him with our prayers and request, we shall be in perfect alignment to receive His favour and blessings upon us and our families! In Jesus name. Amen.

PS Psalm 1:1-3 NKJV “BLESSED is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water. That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.” May you all be shown the path according to His perfect will for you that you may succeed and prosper in all you do.” In Jesus name. Amen.

All glory goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, whom I believe as always have guided me with these words here today. Amen.

Faith Knoweth No Bounds

Faith brings with it many challenges. Challenges we must try to overcome. If we want to live the ‘life extraordinary’, then we must refuse to give in. We must walk the tightrope to life. That includes never relying solely on your own judgement – it means having to take a stand against the Devil.

Faith is a lesson we all must learn. With it comes many a blessing of the supernatural variety! God’s plan is to conquer fear in His servants. With God’s perfect love and grace in our lives, fear gives way to love. 1 John 4:18 NKJV “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment.”

The reality is we are going to be tested. If we are going to succeed in this world, we need to have faith. Not just any old faith, but faith that God’s love can move mountains. 1 Peter 6:7 NKJV “In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”

As His servants, we will become trained in the area of faith. This will ensure that we are able to stand up to many trials that we must undergo. Once we become quite familiar in the ways of faith, we shall see many miracles come to pass. Life will never be the same again. We will be well-equipped to enable the Lord to work great wonders through us in our lives and in the lives of our families too.

When we believe for the impossible, this opens the gateway for the Lord to reveal to us His wonderful gifts that He has hidden from view. Much can and will be accomplished once we become sturdy in our belief and trust. It has been said that many an obstacle will be overcome once we become strong in our faith. Luke 17:5-6 NKJV ‘And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.’

With many challenges overcome, you will look forward to a bright new life. You will then see much improvement in your standard of living. The darkness is behind you with many opportunities for advancement coming your way. You will grow in your relationship with Jesus and will experience more and more joy in your days. Psalm 16:11 NKJV “You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”

Let no-one deceive you into thinking that you must rely on your own human efforts to get anywhere in this world. No my friends. That is not how it happens! I can guarantee you that once you have mastered this new level of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will be blessed beyond all capacity to understand! This I know to be true because the Lord has done it for me. God bless you, in Jesus name. Amen.

All glory goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit whom I believe blessed me with these words herein.

PS May the Lord be with you all and keep you and your families in these times of trials and sufferings, and may you all appear blameless before Him so that you may receive His perfect blessings and miracles in your lives. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 NKJV “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.” Amen.

All Aboard The Gravy Train!

All aboard! This is the call for you my friends. When we see all manner of things come to pass, we shall be truly delighted, because we will know that it is our Lord Jesus at work for us in our lives. When we seek, we shall find, no holds barred. We will be rewarded for our time spent in prayer, and in diligence, and we will come to know that the time is right to be filled with the Joy of the Lord! Amen!

Truth, in its many layers, has filtered into your days, and you have become one with the Lord’s will. His mercy has shone upon your life, and he has shown you His grace and love. This is what it’s all about!

There will come a time that you will see many wonderful miracles and blessings occurring all around you. This comes as a result of doing God’s will, from allowing Him to rule supreme in your hearts and lives, and from being obedient to His laws and commands. This I tell you, is a time like no other, you will be led on an amazing journey to the fulfilment of your hearts desires!

Finally you will see all your efforts rewarded. When this happens, others will see you for who you really are in Christ. You will be a magnificent masterpiece sculptured by the hands of God. He will see to it that you are nourished both spiritually and physically, and your family and friends will all benefit as a result. Proverbs 4:18 TNIV says “The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.”

This is how we may know that we are indeed on the right path. Things that you had hoped for in what seems like a million years ago are all happening around you! Amazing it will be to you to discover your dreams coming true. How you might say can this be true? You will believe it because you will see it with your very own eyes! Psalm 84:11 TNIV says “For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favour and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.”

When others begin to see the fulfilment of your dreams, they will begin to question themselves as to why this is so. They will say to themselves, ‘This person is a Christian - perhaps there is something valid in that way of life after all!’ What a glorious example you will be when that happens. They will see the great love of Christ in your eyes, and at work in both you and your families. Praise God! Psalm 37:4 TNIV says “Take delight in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this. He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.”

Please be assured that by no means does this exempt you from your responsibilities to live a disciplined life in service to the LORD. No! Of course not! What it does mean though, is that you will be rewarded for your efforts and diligence to live a life in Christ according to His will and purposes for you, and that through your loyalty to His ways, you will come to see many if not all of your dreams come to pass...So be it. Amen.

PS Psalm 16:11 TNIV says “You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.”

All glory for these words goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit whom I believe as always, have gifted them to me for you. Praise God.

Good News and Supreme Living!

There comes a time in everyone’s life where they must reassess the direction in which they are travelling. Sometimes, one must face the fact that their current choices are not at all in their best interests. God wants to use you now! He wants you to be headed in the right direction to enable His plans to come to fruition in your life. He wants you in perfect alignment with His Will; so that He can deliver you to the great many blessings He has planned for you.

We must stop and take a look at whether or not what we have planned is going to be compatible with what God wants for us. We must willingly submit our plans into God’s hands and wait to see what happens next. When we do this, it opens the gateway towards things that in Earthly terms seem impossible. Where there’s a will there’s a way – and it is God’s Will and God’s Way that will have you coming out on top! Deuteronomy 28:13 TNIV says “The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.”

What happens next is going to amaze you! You will be led down the path of deliverance towards a new style of existence. One that is no longer of the Earthly statutes and regulations. It is a life of miracles and blessings – one after the other! Take the first step and you will see for yourself. You don’t need to take my word for it!

In order to attain this new level of existence, there are certain laws and guidelines one must follow. There are blessings that come to us through our obedience and adherence to these laws. These laws have been given to us as a means of protection and salvation. They are our ‘armour’ in times of trouble. They are of course, The Ten Commandments.

Deuteronomy 5:7-21

1. Worship no god but me.
2. Do not bow down to any idol or worship it.
3. Do not use my name for evil purposes.
4. Observe the Sabbath and keep it holy.
5. Respect your father and mother.
6. Do not commit murder.
7. Do not commit adultery.
8. Do not steal.
9. Do not accuse anyone falsely.
10. Do not desire another man’s wife; do not desire his house, his land, his slaves, his cattle, his donkeys, or anything else that he owns.

Begin by taking a personal inventory of your own dealings, and with the commands that God has given you, one by one, start making the necessary changes and adjustments to your style of living and thinking, and then watch as your whole life is transformed right before your very eyes! Bit by bit, piece by piece, you will see the Master at work, preparing you to receive all that is rightfully yours. You will be given your ‘Greater Destiny’, and not the boring and trouble-filled life of so many in this current age. This is the good news that the Lord has for you today – this, my friend is Supreme Living at its best!

Deuteronomy 7:12-15 says “If you listen to these commands and obey them faithfully, then the LORD your God will continue to keep his covenant with you and will show you his constant love, as he promised your ancestors. He will love you and bless you, so that you will increase in number and have many children; he will bless the ground for you, so that you will have grain, wine, and olive oil; and he will bless you by giving you many cattle and sheep. He will give you all these blessings in the land that he promised your ancestors he would give to you. No people in the world will be as richly blessed as you. None of you nor any of your livestock will be sterile. The LORD will protect you from all sickness, and he will not bring on you any of the dreadful diseases that you experienced in Egypt, but he will bring them on all your enemies.”

May the LORD your God deliver you to all your blessings, and may you become all that you’re meant to be, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

PS 1 Thessalonians 5:24 TLB says “God, who called you to become his child, will do all this for you, just as he promised.” Amen.

All glory goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, whom I believe as always, have guided me with these words for you today. Amen and God bless...

The Truth According To God's Word

When you walk in trust, two things will happen. You will be led on an amazing journey filled with miracles and blessings, and others will see for themselves the kind of life you can have when you give yourself over to the Lord. God has great things planned for you and me. Things which we cannot even begin to imagine!

If you’ve already been walking in the truth then you will know and understand that you may have come so far on your own, but it has indeed been the Lord that has carried you the rest of the way.

We cannot achieve anything by our own efforts - anything of any lasting value that is. Of course, faith without works is dead. James 2:15-16 NKJV says ‘If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.’

Living by faith means that you will sow your seed and then believe and expect it to germinate. Depending upon the state of the ground, that is your level of faith and trust, you will begin to see new growth. Matthew 13:20-23 says “The seeds that fell on rocky ground stand for those who receive the message gladly as soon as they hear it. But it does not sink deep into them, and they don’t last long. So when trouble or persecution comes because of the message, they give up at once. The seeds that fell among thornbushes stand for those who hear the message; but the worries about this life and the love for riches choke the message, and they don’t bear fruit. And the seeds sown in the good soil stand for those who hear the message and understand it: they bear fruit, some as much as a hundred, others sixty, and others thirty.”

Don’t be like the ones who sowed their seeds in rocky ground or amongst the thornbushes. Be like the ones who planted in the good soil, and receive your blessings as much as a hundred!

Absorb the word. Read it daily or as much as possible. Take it into your very being and understand its meaning. Live it. Walk it. Breathe it. Eat it. Sleep it! If you do this you cannot help but bear much fruit.

Jesus is the vine. John 15:5 says “I am the vine, and you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will bear a great deal of fruit; for you can do nothing without me. Verses 7-8 go on to say “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, then you will ask for anything you wish, and you shall have it. My Father’s glory is shown by your bearing a lot of fruit; and in this way you become my disciples.”

So go on, get into God’s word and start becoming fruitful for God. The more fruit we bear, the more glory will go to our Heavenly Father! Amen.

PS Our Father in Heaven has chosen us to do great things in the name of Jesus! John 14:12-13 states “I am telling you the truth: those who believe in me will do what I do -– yes, they will do even greater things, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask for in my name, so that the Father’s glory will be shown through the Son. If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it.” Amen.

All glory goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit whom I believe have guided me as always with these words. Amen.

Rejoice and Be Merry!

When the world is telling you that you can’t have this dream, or that dream here’s what you should do. Be happy and praise the Lord your God, because He is about to give you your heart’s desires. Yes that’s right! This is not a misprint!

When we rejoice and give praise to the Lord, He will move mountains for us! You see, God in His mercy wants His children to be strong in their faith, and to reclaim what is rightfully theirs. This act of faith, tells our Father in heaven that we know and understand that He is in control of our situation, and that we believe that He is about to deliver us to our blessings.

It also sends the devil and his cohorts packing. It is written in Philippians 4:4 NKJV “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!” Notice that is says always. We are being told to rejoice always. Not only when things are going right for you, but always. Even, despite the troubles you may have for this will enable the Lord to do His work for you, so that you will have that new car, that promotion, that new job, that baby, that happy marriage, or whatever it is that you’ve been praying for.

Surrender all your troubles to the Lord, and He will come through for you. He wants to see you joyful and happy. He wants you to go through life enjoying the many miracles He has prepared for you. Psalm 68:3 NKJV says “But let the righteous be glad; Let them rejoice before God; Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.”

God wants us to rejoice exceedingly! Not just a little bit every now and then, but exceedingly! Another word for exceedingly is excessively. That means a lot! Get the picture? God knows something we don’t know, and that is all the wonderful possibilities that He is lining up for us in His grace! If only we could see beyond that curtain, we wouldn’t be able to believe our eyes! We’d be out singing and dancing in the streets!

These possibilities become ours when we surrender to the truth and let our God be the God that is promised to us throughout the Bible. Psalm 118:24 NLT says “This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.” We certainly do have a lot to rejoice about, that’s for sure. I bet if you look back on your life, you would see the many blessings He has already given you. Even the things that perhaps seemed like problems to you, eventually all turned out for the best, even though at the time you couldn’t see it.

The Lord knows what is best for His children, and we must trust Him implicitly with our very lives. Psalm 33:21 NKJV says “For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name.” Our Lord would love nothing more than to see us all singing and dancing out in the streets right now and giving praise to His holy name!

If you’re a parent reading this, then you would know how happy your heart is when you see your children being joyful! It makes your heart sing with joy! Imagine then, how happy our Father in heaven is when He sees us rejoicing simply because we love Him and trust that He has got everything sorted! It is written in Psalm 33:1 NKJV “Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful.” Amen!

All glory goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit whom I believe gifted me with these words today.

PS One more thing, a merry heart not only cheers our Father in heaven, it serves to create a buffer around you so that when things seem to go wrong, you are better equipped to walk through your days with a smile on your face and trusting the Lord. Proverbs 15:13 NKJV says “But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.” Praise the Lord! Amen.

Faith in Miracles

Though many in life may not come to understand the full meaning of what it is to be led by Jesus, nonetheless His love is available for all. For those who truly seek Him there are treasures available beyond compare. It is written in John 8:12 "Whoever follows me will have the light of life and will never walk in darkness."

Those who give their life over to Him will experience pure joy and will be led on a journey of miracles and healing. When you submit your life to Him in full, He is able then to turn your life around. To really get the most out of this walk, you must have faith in His ability to provide for you. Philippians 4:19 "And with all his abundant wealth through Christ Jesus, my God will supply all your needs."

Knowing this will help us to understand that a life in Christ certainly has its benefits, that's for sure. He wants us to be happy. He wants us to experience a life of blessings and abundance. He wants to put us in a position where we can be a blessing for others.

When others look upon the life we are living in Him, we will be a shining example that when we put our faith and trust in the Lord, everything we do will be blessed. With that you may say, that even the most diligent of followers do not always experience the true joy in knowing and trusting in God's provision. The reason being is a lack of knowledge on their part, of the many wonderful promises given to us in the Bible.

There are promises for good health and healing, wealth and abundance, joy and peace of mind, blessings upon our family life, marriages and relationships, and success in whatever work we do with our hands.

We need to access these truths by reading about them in God's word, and then claiming what is rightfully ours. It is written in Jeremiah 29:11 "I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for."

We must stake our claim, otherwise we might miss out! The Devil is going to try to stop you from receiving all your blessings. He knows what you're entitled to as a child of God, and will stop at nothing to deceive you into thinking that you're not worthy or deserving of God's favour.

Lots of people go through life never achieving everything that God has laid out before them because they allow the enemy to thwart them at every turn. As God's precious children, we have authority over the Devil by using the name of Jesus. Just the mere mention of the name 'Jesus', and Satan and his demons will flee.It is our right to exercise this authority for our protection and for us to receive what God has planned and promised for His children.

Too many people don't realise that they may well be giving away their blessings to the enemy. When this happens they stagnate, and things go wrong all around them before they realise that everything is spiralling out of control. Take back that control now! James 4:7 NKJV states, "Resist the Devil and he will flee from you." Use the mighty name of Jesus and claim what is yours. Take back your inheritance! Say 'in the name of Jesus, take your hands of me and my family, Satan, we belong to God.' Watch what happens next! Then enjoy the journey.....

PS  1 Peter 5:8-9 says "Be alert, watch out! Your enemy, the Devil, roams around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Be firm in your faith and resist him, because you know that other believers in all the world are going through the same kind of sufferings." How do we resist the Devil you might ask? We resist the Devil by standing firm in our faith in God and in our faith that His promises hold true. Amen.


Glory be to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit for these words richly given here today. Amen.
