As i turn 27 today i want to say THANKYOU
First and foremost, a big Thankyou to our Creator, to the King of Kings for speaking to me through this year, walking with me and growing me, preserving me and my family through thick and thin!...the list is endless..
Thank you to my parents for providing me with love and working so hard to provide all the opportunities the world has to offer. For believing in me, trusting me and loving me unconditionally.Pure angels on this earth.
A huge thank you to a beautiful sister whose love and generosity i simply can not explain, another angel! and to brothers who, in their own macho way, express their love :-)
A huge thank you to friends who have inspired me, walked with me, talked sense into me. Thank you for being the shoulders i cried on, the smiles i looked foward to and the words of encouragemnt and love. For accepting me as i am, knowing that i, we, are all under construction, i say Thankyou
I am truly blessed. I can only pray that He helps me be a blessing to others.
much love

Which seed are you??
Mark 4:14
"The farmer sows the word.
Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy.But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.
Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word;but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful.
Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—thirty, sixty or even a hundred times what was sown.”
Now, there was a time when i would feel excellent , happy and even maybe 'holy'. This was between 9-11 am on Sunday mornings when I attended the compulsory church down the road. I felt I had been good and God is happy because i went to church. Did that all through my teenage years until I was old enough to say 'No'. I wasnt growing, i hated it , and it bored me...i had had enough
You need a place where you grow, where you are challenged, where Gods word is applied to your life. A place where if you miss a single service, you feel you have missed out on gold, on knowledge, wisdom,strength...power. ~Power to overcome, to love, to live. A place where you grow with others. Christians who hold you, carry you, push you.A place where you are NEVER judged even when...especially when you fall!
If the above doesnt describe your church, ...maybe you need to move. Move quickly before you stagnate. Before you forget you have a purpose, a destiny...that you are on the clock and have a job to do!
I want to be the one who "hear(s) the word, accept(s) it, and produce(s) a crop"!
See , the enemy is always ever so busy stealing your dreams, your visions, your God given destiny, and we dont seem to put up a fight. he then places you around people who remind you that "you cant do it", "your useless" and bingo...his work is done. he sits back, takes a sip of whisky and proclaims..it is done.
Maybe you get excited on sunday mornings, the service was excellent, youre pumped up to conquer and change the world...then immediately you leave church,...the brilliant ideas you had , the promises you made to change during service...dissapear. You get into the car, and drive Mobil, order a pizza...by the time you take the first bite...its gone. You cant even remember what the pastor said, what you promised yourself to do. You cant even rememebr the peson you were to call and seek forgiveness from, the relationship you were to sort out, the job you were to apply for, ....Then you repeat all over again the following sunday...maybe this time you order chicken instead
Remember he comes like a thief in the night.. to kill, steal and destroy. Unfortuneatly we make it too easy for him. he can only continue doing it if you let him.
Take charge of your life, ask the Creator to restore all that has been stolen! Ask him to ignite the idea He gave you in your sleep, the passion you felt to reconcile with a loved one last sunday, the heart to forgive the one who hurt you. ...
Ask, He is your father, He will provide. Your father never turns His back, He never changes, He never moves...we move, we change, we turn our backs...but He is patient...i mean, we are still here arent we? With all our wickedness , we are still here. Its not ended yet because he is waiting, waiting patiently for you to turn your heart to Him and be saved from eternal pain. but remember, the clock is ticking...
you need to make a decision..or the devourer will make it for you.
Please dont let the enemy sit back, have his sip of whisky and proclaim ...it is done. Please stand up, for you and your family and declare "Satan, get behind me, I have work to do and your crowding my space! It is only done when the Creator says it is so depart from my life, Jesus is coming in!"
Or you could simply go on, next Sunday..this time...you order chinese
