Journaling With Father. By Erika Osthuizen.

 Phillipians 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Jesus Christ. My dearest child why are you cast down in your inner self? And why should you mourn over it and be disquieted within you? Yes, my child, l know every thought before you even start pondering upon it. I knew l planned you for this day even before the foundation of the world. I knew the plans l had for you even then. You are my beloved child and l love you as if you are My only! Yes My beloved, l even know the number of the hair on your head. If even not 1 of those hair fall on the ground without Me knowing it, why should you worry about all the little things that seem to you to be scew in your life? I'm the awesome, intelligent Creator, God of all, the Almighty Trinity, but My loveliest creation still, is My children. I care too much to let you fall at the hands of the enemy, in fact l love you so much, l died for you. Time is in My hands, age is another nu

Be Careful Of Wrong Connections. By Petronella Mapeta-Chinamora.

 2 Chronicles 20:37. " Because you have joined with Ahaziah, the Lord will destroy what you have made". These words were prophecied to Jehoshaphat by Eliezer. I asked myself why to him? Looking into the previous chapters, he is the man who sought the Lord and God fought for them against the Moabites, Amonites and some of the Meunites. God also fought for him against the King of Syria but in this verse, words of destruction has been said to him. This is very sad, after all these times trusting in God and seeing God in his journey suddenly words of destruction are uttered. These words made me to think deeply about my life as a Christian. I told myself that I don't want to hear such words in my life. The Holy Spirit explained better to me that these words were said because Jehoshaphat had done something wrong. Verse 32 tells us that he did what was right in the sight of the Lord. This made me realise that, if we are not careful we can fail before the Lord, it doesn't mat

Power Of Prayer.

 Never underestimate the power of prayer. There is power in prayer and we pray in the name of Jesus we are guaranteed to get everything we want. For the word of God says make your requests know to God in prayer and He is so generous to give us all we ask for. What a mighty God we serve and what a loving Father we have. Philippians 4:6-7 NIV Be not be anxious about anything but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. The bible is clearly telling us not to be anxious about anything but in all things we need to pray to God and He will grant us  all that we desire and all that concerns us. There is power in a prayerful person, the evil one doesn't stay in an environment of prayer. So many bible legends were people of prayer and they conquered all. Prayer is the seed we plant and it geminate, it produce and provide vast harvest for u

Do Not Fear. By Petronella Mapeta-Chinamora.

 Numbers 21:34 "Do not fear him, for l have given him into your hand and all his people and his land" There are so many situations that we come across in life and puts fear in us. We fear sickness, death and losing our jobs, to be homeless, divorce etc. People are having sleepless nights because of this thing called fear. Fear does not come from God. It is a tool that is used by the devil to intimidate us and we will end up loosing focus on the things of God. Fear not was written 365 times in the bible which means everyday you start your day, God is reminding you not to fear. It doesn't matter what situation you are facing remind yourself not to fear. Psalm 23 the Lord is your Shepherd, even if you walk through the valley of the shadow of death fear no evil because He is with you. A Shepherd watches over his flock, yes wild animals will come around but he will fight to save his flock. Do you know your Shepherd? You are never alone because in Isaiah 43 the word tells us th

Power To Shape The Future. By Petronella Mapeta-Chinamora

 Genesis 28:1 " Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him and directed him" We hear Jacob being blessed by his father and sent to Laban so that he could marry from there. This is were Isaac also married from. I have learnt the importance of a parent's blessing. If you read the whole chapter, Jacob on his way to Paddan- Aram he met God and He blesses him verse 15. It started with the father then God put a stamp, ( l'm sensing something powerful here). On your wedding day, you receive parents, church and God's blessings. This will be the beginning of your journey, it starts with the parents. Let me ask you what words did you speak on your children this morning, which you want God to put a stamp on? There is a certain power which God has installed in us as parents to shape the lives of our children. No matter how bad your child, husband, your in-love (laws) are towards you, shape them for you have the power and authority. Just speak a positive word. Never allow anythin

God Uses The Lowly.

 During this time we are going through of Covid-19 pandemic so many people are living in fear and so many are depressed. But God is saying He has given us ministering angels to work with us, protect us and we will win against the evil one. Psalm 91: 11-12 NIV For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways, they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. So many of us have been with the burden to work for the Lord. Well this is the right time since the world is going through so much turmoil and pain. So many people are giving in, going through depression, it's time for the children of God to rise up and save the world.   I have also realized that God uses the lowly ones who have been rejected, the ones the world regards as useless and of no value, the ones regarded as the lowest and can bring nothing, to achieve His purpose. But hear this my sisters you are what God is looking for and you are the best of the L

Power Of Positivity.

 Keeping a positive mind and attitude brings joy unspeakable, a positive person yields seeds of productivity. Renew your mind and always feed it with the right stuff which is the word of God. Keeping away from people who tries to belittle your goals and ambitions, negative people always do that but remember to always stay focused and rooted in the word of God. James 1:2-3 NIV Consider it pure joy brothers when you face trails of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. It doesn't matter where and what the trails may leave you in life. Staying focused and positive is the way to go, for problems gravitates towards a solution. Whatever comes your way is absolutely food for you. There is power in staying positive in all circumstances, refuse to give in. Everyone one of us was born with capabilities and power to ignite changes. Speaking the word of God brings continuous victories and productivity. Remain unmoved and rooted in Christ, whatever th
