I remember God giving me this scripture and because I believed it, it has come to pass.
(Matthew 6:30-34 MSG):
"If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers, most of which are never even seen, don't you think He¹ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way He works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how He works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don¹t worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met. Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes."
It may not be in the way that I thought it would, but it definitely did. Just makes me realize once again, that God's thoughts is not mine.
I am so grateful for God is busy doing. I am only filling in at this company for a lady who is on leave, but I trust God for great things to come. I am also grateful that my side made it through to another phase at Allan Gray Orbis Foundation for Grade 8 in 2016 and at CPUT Scholarship also for 2016.
God said that I shouldn't worry about tomorrow and I am not. I've learned to trust Him more than ever and to look away from a world who prospers by their own strength.
Everything that happens in my favor is through Jesus Christ and no one on this earth in the natural realm can take the glory.
I am in awe of God's goodness, grace, mercy and love.
In His name

He knows my future
Thursday, 28th January 2015, and I am totally in awe of God.
I want to tell you that it's no use in moaning and dragging your feet. If you have a problem, speak up. Yes, God knows our hearts but He wants us to be open. He want us to give whatever is bothering us to Him.
I am grateful on this day that I have learned to give it all to Him. I feel light because I trust Him. Tomorrow is a new start for me. After being at home for almost 4 months, God provided.
I am so grateful to God for leading me in to a 21 day fast. He knew why I had to do it. I was obedient and it paid of. God came through for my daughter and for my son. I can only give God glory and continue to honor and praise Him.
If you made a vow to God, don't break it. God will honor you. You will see the fruits of what you put in.
In His Love

Let The Sun Shine
What is your response to answered prayer?
Some people are unsure about it because they don't know if God actually answered or if it was just coincidence that things just worked out just as they had prayed.
David the Psalmist had no such doubt. He beamed like the sun in his excitement over answered prayer. God wants us to do the same thing. He wants us to be excited even before the answered prayer is out in the open.
I urge you to let the love of God shine on you as He responds to your prayers and reflect His love to others even in a time of affliction.
In His Love

It's not harm you
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).
It's an easy thing to say we trust God, but it is definitely not an easy thing for some of us to do – especially if we come from a background where our trust has been consistently betrayed. In order to go the distance, we need to strongly develop the habit of not trying to control and orchestrate our lives and futures, but rather giving them to God.
It is one thing to plan and prepare for the future, but another to try to manipulate events, people or circumstances. When we believe that God truly cares for us, it is so much easier to cast our cares upon Him. No one is going to entrust anything that matters to them to someone who does not care for them.
Today, I want you to know that God's plans for you are for good and not evil. God started this work in you, and He will bring it to completion. If God is for you, then who can be against you? You can trust Him with every detail of your life.
In His Love

Consistency, The Key To Breakthrough - Day 21
The words did not want to leave my mind.
"Consistency is the key to YOUR breakthrough!!"
It was actually screaming at me and I started
speaking to God. God was so clear about the word
"consistent". He said if my household want to see
continous breakthrough, we have to stay
consistent when it comes to the word of God.
So many beautiful things are happening in our
home and it's all because we stand firm when it
comes to the word of God. I said to God that there
are so many things we are struggling with
especially me, and yet He blesses me. The Lord
gave me a scripture about "when you abide in Me
and My word abide in you, you shall know the
truth and the truth shall set you free. (John 8:32)
He said that we know the truth, yet we are not
free. He made an example of a person who treats
her husband or his wife terrible knowing what the
word says, that you must love your husband/wife
which is the truth, but he/she is not free beause
they do not operate in the truth.
In order for us to live a life of truly being free we
have to be consistent in all we do in order for us
to recieve our breakthrough.
This is something to ponder on hey? I am making
a decision to be consistent, live the word, receive
continual breakthrough and others will see that
God is at work in my life.
I know it will take time to always live in truth but
at the end of the day we will be successful.
Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day
in and day out. When you vow to fast, to worship, to serve or do anything unto God, don't give up continue, breakthrough will come.
In His love

Moving Forward...Day 20
"The righteous keep moving forward, and those with clean hands become stronger and stronger." Job 17:9
It is exactly like the scripture says, and I intent to move and not stop, for God has been good to me. I feel like a new person. He has opened up many things for me.
I don't have much to say this morning. I am truly grateful for this fast is the best thing I did in a very long time. I will do it over and over.
Don't give up!!

Tired, Hungry But Still Pumped - Day 19
Hey there everyone. I woke up with a screaming tummy. I was like, "Hello, what's your problem? Cool down and relax in Jesus name." Heheheheee!!!
That was the words of a woman taking authority. I then go up and did my morning exercise - and now I feel pumped up again. Ready for the day. When the enemy wants to remind you of anything that will distract you in any way, take charge immediately. Don't wait, moan and groan. You'll be defeated.
Be strong my mind and keep praying, worshiping and trusting God.

It Invaded My heart - Day 18
For most of our children it's an exciting time. School started today and almost everyone is on a high.
My son was so excited because it's his first day for Grade 7, a senior in primary school. He decided it's a new year and he will go to bed 8:30pm this year, but 10:30pm he was still awake. I suppose it's the excitement for the new that's happening in his life.
The same with us, if you are doing the 21 day fast, and you have made it till this day 18, you should be excited.
Don't let the excited die down, your breakthrough is here. You are busy fulfilling the vow you made to God.
I am so overwhelmed and excited for this 18the day, knowing that Daddy God is working behind the scenes.
Be reminded that the enemy is not done with you yet, but keep on reminding him who and Who's child you are.
Give God all the praise for carrying you through.
God wants to keep His promise to you. Keep on praising Him and obey His commands.
"God is truly good to Israel, especially to everyone with a pure heart." Psalm 73:1
The one things that invaded my heart is "Gratitude" I am strong, I am in touch my Him who lives in me and with Him all things are possible.

She Is Confident
She is confidently sure that as she tells them about Jesus and that He is the risen Lord, breakthrough will come her way. She does not have to waiver or be double minded.
Suddenly Jesus met (the women) and said, "Peace be with you." They came up to Him, took hold of his feet, and worshipped Him. "Do not be afraid," Jesus said to them. "Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me."
Matthew 28:9-10

Who comes to steal? - Day 17
"A thief comes only to rob, kill, and destroy..."
John 10:10
...And that thief is definitely not God. The only thing that's on the devil's mind, is for you to suffer. He pit so many things in your head and you are sometimes so ignorant to his devices.
When this happens, you have so much anger towards God- all because things didn't work out for you as you have planned. We have so much anger towards God and we have to blame Him for something. This is far more common than most of us care to admit, especially for those who have been abused, neglected, or deeply disappointed by others.
B laming God forces you into a corner with no way out, instead of you recognizing that God is the only way out.
Blaming God produces so much anger that will either be channeled inward, making you sick, frustrated, or outward anger towards your husband, children and friends.
It is a no-win attitude.
When I find myself in a situation like this, I tell God exactly how mad I am at Him, and I am pretty honest about my feelings. Try it, and believe me, you won't hurt God's feelings. WHY? He knows about your anger all along, He was just waiting for you to be honest and tell Him.
Pray to Him saying;
"Father I have been angry at You because of this particular situation (be specific). I have hated this and I've blamed You for it. Please forgive me and help me be released from it. Take away my misconceptions about You and help me to know You better. In Jesus name, Amen."
You will feel better in time but act on that anger soon. This is the purpose of fasting and to be released from everything that is not of God.
