7. New Year 2011
A new year comes like a thief in the night. Before you know it you are on the verge of a new year with new challenges and new opportunities. If you have a good sense of what the year will hold for you, you might feel more relaxed, if you are quite certain of deals […]
6. Christmas
What a wonderful time of year! How wonderful to be with your family, be together and celebrate the birth of our Savior. The Lord is so amazing and it is such a great time to simply experience His love and goodness. Whether the timing of our Savior’s birth is in December or not, it doesn’t […]
5. Act like a Christian wherever you are
The other day I was driving to the shopping mall. Now I wouldn’t say that I drive excessively fast, but sometimes when the road is open I tend to drive faster than the speeding limit. For example in a 60 km/h zone I would drive 80 km/h easily or sometimes even 90km/h. That day I […]
4. Getting to know the Lord better
The Lord wants us to spend time with Him. He wants us to get to know Him better and better in order for each of us to be able to grow spiritually and to live our lives the way He intended. And most importantly, He wants us to spend time with Him simply because He […]
3. The Lord wants to talk to you
In the previous blog I spoke about heaven and how we can all go there ‘simply’ by accepting Jesus into our lives and making Him King over everything we do. One day we can go there and be part of the exquisite home that is being prepared for us. But in the meantime we are […]
2. Experiencing Heaven
I spoke the last time that heaven is a place we can long for. It is a place where all our sorrows will be a thing of the past. It is a place where your spirit can be who you truly are and who you were created to be. And better yet, it is a […]
1. Heaven is a much better place than Avatar
Just the other day I watched the movie Avatar. I don’t know if you watched it, but if you didn’t, in short it is about another world that exist. The ‘people’ if you can call them that, that live there is different than we are. Not only do they look different, but none of them […]
34. The ride of your life
My wish is that each of you will find your own unique purpose. I want you all to stand up in the mornings and be excited to start your day. But I know it takes time and I know that the Lord’s timing is not our timing. Be patient, remember that the Lord is never […]
33. Steps to your specific purpose (2)
As we have discussed in the previous devotion, we need to spend a lot of time with the Lord and hear from Him what our purpose in life is. When we have heard, we must test it against the Word of God in order to receive confirmation that we have heard correctly and secondly we […]
32. Steps to your specific purpose (1)
The Lord wants us to have fun and He wants to be part of it and share in the fun with us. He wants us to get up in the morning with a smile on our face. Now as I discussed in the previous devotion, the Lord revealed the path to our purpose in life […]
31. Your purpose, the fun-loving side
As we have touched on the previous devotions, all of us have general purposes, namely to have a close relationship with God, to become more and more like Christ, to spread the gospel and to glorify God and sing His praises. There could be even more general purposes. But for now let’s focus in on […]
30. General purpose (3)
As we have discussed so far, we are all part of the body of Christ, His Bride that eagerly awaits His coming. And while waiting for Him to return, we have purposes to fulfill as a body together plus we each have our own unique purpose that blends into the body as a whole, making […]
29. General Purpose (2)
The Lord wants an intimate relationship with you. You were created to be His Spiritual mate, the one He loves and cares for. You are the pinnacle of His Creation and He longs for you to know Him intimately. You are His Bride and He wants to care for you like a loving Bridegroom cares […]
28. General Purpose
As we have discussed, the Lord has a specific plan laid out for your life. He planned it while you were still in your mothers’ womb. He was excited when He thought about you and carefully placed you in a position with the exact right talents to achieve what He wants you to achieve. You […]
27. Your Purpose (3)
The Lord is faithful and wants the best for us. He walks ahead and He provides the light to help us see where we need to go. All we need to do is to focus on that light and walk on the path He provided for us. He will take any hindrances out of the […]
26. Your Purpose (2)
I discussed last time that our purpose is something that will continue for your whole lifetime. It is something that will never end, it is something that will become you and will best suit your personality. The Lord knows what is best for you. It could be the job that you do or want to […]
25. Your Purpose
I have been talking about your purpose and your path in this life. I have tried to motivate you to listen to the Voice and the calling of the Lord. I have tried to warn you of potential potholes that we can all fall into along the way. But what I haven’t done, and that […]
24. Give yourself a period of rest, in order to prepare yourself for the road ahead
Your task/s assigned to you by the Lord will be well suited for you. The Lord knows your strengths and weaknesses and will never give you anything that is not appropriate for you. And as we have discussed, it might take time before you start your task/s and there might be difficult times before or […]
23. Don’t be jealous of another’s God-given task
In the world we live in certain jobs and certain looks and certain abilities are honored and highly regarded. Whilst other tasks and jobs are looked down upon and considered of less value. That is how distorted our lives have become. But that has been that way since the beginning of time. As I have […]
22. God’s timing is not our timing
What we have established thus far, is that God has a plan for each of us. He has something in store for us that will blow our minds. It will be something different for each of us, but it will be something that will be well suited to our personality and circumstances. Now we will […]
