Psalms 73 - 89

VhaaI remember you oh God and I grew faint. Has God forgotten how to be merciful. But I will remember our Lord. (Ps 77)

Not hide God'd decrees but tell them to our children. The nations had forgotten what God had done.  For surely we need to remember what God has done in our lives so we can share it our children and the mistakes that our brothers ad sisters. For God remembered we are but flesh, a passing wind soon forgotten. So the Lord guided them like sheep but still they were rebellious. (Ps 78)

Restore us oh God and shine your face. Revive us so we praise your holy name again. (Ps 80)

If they would just listen to me how quickly I would subdue their enemies and restore them. I guess sometimes we just need to do what God wants and he will delivery us. When in high places we use our own understanding and wisdom to the peril of our people. (Ps 82)

Blessed are those whose strength is in you. I'd rather be a doorkeeper in your house for one day than a 1000 years away from you. For the lord is my dwelling place. (Ps 84)

Listen to my cry for mercy. Teach me your way. Hide me an undivided heart that I may follow you. Give me sign of your goodness. (Ps 87) .

I Will sing of the Lord faithfulness forever. You created the north and the south. Blessed are those who have learned to exalt you and praise. For surely to praise and exalt and fear is learned over time and dedication. For sometimes we think our level of worship is a gift and we might or might not have. But clearly this is a skill that we need to learn and come accustome to. (Ps 89)

Proverbs 1 - The dangers of Foolishness

I was reading this scripture this morning and i couldn't help feeling that I often act like this person. Thinking that I don't have to study my bible and put it into practice is compared to someone laughing at you when trouble comes to your life. It sounds cruel but God's standard was never meant to make us 'feel' good. 26 I also jwill laugh at your calamity; I will mock when kterror strikes you, 27 when terror strikes you like la storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. 28 mThen they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me. 29 Because they chated knowledge and ndid not choose the fear of the Lord,

Times of refreshing

What a weekend that has just gone past! The single's ministry saw two men getting baptised on Sunday after church! What a rush!!! I had never dealt with two people baptising at the same time. Truly the bible is true when it says that "repentance brings times of refreshing". Seeing the excitement in those guys faces made me realise how blessed we are at having being "fished out" of the water at such an early age (I was 18 and my wife 14). Through his grace, I've experienced much love and much pain in his kingdom yet through it all, knowing that His Spirit can continue to guide me as long as I stay close to him. The crazy thing about yesterday was the realization that God is definitely moving amongst the churches all around Southern Africa and it felt really good to know we were making news (although small in comparison) of our own. There was almost a sense of disbelief among those who have been doubting whether God can still do miracles. My prayer and hop...

Earnestly seek Him - Call to change

6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and mthat he rewards those who seek him. I've read this passage a thousand times and it never fails to ring sound doctrine in my heart. Too often I take it for granted that God is not pleased by mere "Lord, Lord" words coming out of my mouth. Too many times I lack effort in putting structures and plans that will drive me towards Him and His grace. I don't often ask myself "How can I grow in drawing near to God?" or "Does my life truly reflects his existence?". It's so easy to get caught up in the "pattern of this world", so easy to be "polluted by this world" David's charge to Solomon (1Chr 28) 9 “And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, zfor the Lord searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be f...
