34. Obtain confirmations when making big decisions
Last time we saw how bitter David’s first wife, Michal was. She resented him in her heart as he danced with all his might to the Lord. Even though she had reason to be bitter, we learned that it is never a good thing to stay bitter. We must look up to a new day […]
33. Do not stay bitter
Last time we saw how David brought the ark of God back into Jerusalem. His heart was right and he wanted to honor God and have Him close to them. But he went about it the wrong way and Uzzah died in the process. At the end David learned from that and brought the ark […]
32. Get clear guidance from God
Last week we learned how David enquired with God on what to do as the Philistines came against him. He was just crowned king and the enemy was lining up. But David didn’t fear, he immediately went to God and asked Him what to do. And then he was obedient to God’s instructions. This resulted […]
31. Always turn to God
Last time we learned how David waited more than 20 years for the promise that he will become King of Israel to come to pass. And during that time he waited with a good attitude, he acted honorably and followed God in everything that he did. God also prepared him to be king during that […]
30. Wait with a good attitude
Last week we saw how God lifted up David from the lowest point in his life, to being King of Judah, all in a matter of days. It was truly amazing to see. The same happened to Joseph, Moses, Job, but to name a few. We shouldn’t despair at the low points in our lives, […]
29. Be faithful right where you are
Last week we learned that we shouldn’t rejoice when our enemies get hurt or are going through a tough time. We shouldn’t be happy when others who despise us, are not excelling. We should rather pray for them that God’s will be done in their lives. We shouldn’t gloat or rub it in their faces, […]
28. Do not rejoice at other’s misfortune
Last week we saw how David continued to trust in God even though he was at a very low point in his life. He continued to look up to God for his provision and strength and indeed God provided it to him. He even enriched him in the process even though it had been a […]
27. Always look UP
Last week we learned a valuable lesson from David. He was at an ultimate low point in his life. He had been in exile in a foreign country for a very long time, and the main reason was that he had been following God’s calling on his life. And now even whilst following God, the […]
26. Never give up
The previous time we discussed the life of David, we saw that we can hear from God ourselves. We needn’t rush from prophet to star signs to personality types to understand where God is leading us. No, we can hear from Him ourselves. We shouldn’t stoop as low as Saul and consult mediums, we should […]
105. Do not worry
We all want to know when this coronavirus will end and when our lives will return back to normal again. We want to plan ahead and we want to run our lives again like we used to. But God taught me a very valuable lesson during this time. And that is to truly live day […]
104. Praise Him always
I prayed and asked God what this week’s message should be. And I felt the prompting in my spirit to look at today’s devotion in my daily devotion book – God Whispers. So I would like to share it with you: “When You send Your Spirit, new life is born to replenish all the living […]
103. Grow above it all
We have verberum plants in our garden. They are evergreen and they can be hedged or left to grow as tall as trees. We planted rows of them against our walls at home. On two sides we left them as trees and on the one side we hedged them. Now, four weeks ago myself and […]
102. Trust in God
After reading a daily devotion by Joseph Prince God placed the prodigal son on my heart. Imagine the prodigal son lived today and you see him there in the pigsty, filthy, full of mud, hungry and totally depleted. You feel so sorry for him. You, as a well-meaning Christian go over and help him. You […]
101. God’s work in us during the coronavirus time
God gave me ‘100 days’ in my spirit. And when I counted 100 days from 26 March when the lockdown started in South Africa I came to the 4th of July, which is Independence Day in the US. Now it doesn’t matter where in the world you are, we all know that 4th of July […]
25. Be content right where you are
Last week we saw that we shouldn’t fight against the plans of God. It doesn’t help as it only frustrates us and make our lives miserable. We should rather take hands with God and walk this pathway with Him leading the way. Then whatever comes our way, we can be assured that He is with […]
24. Do not fight God’s plan
Last week we saw how Abigail saved all the men in their household from certain death, because she was prepared to humble herself and to give what she had to David and his men. She was a peacemaker in a dire situation. She allowed God to use her in a mighty way. In the end […]
23. Be a peacemaker for God
Last week we saw how Nabal immediately jumped to conclusions about David without having all the facts. He judged David, without even listening to his own shepherds testifying of David. He judged him and refused to give even a crumb to him. We learned that we should be different and rather gather all facts and […]
22. Do not judge
Last time we saw how courageous David truly was. When his men urged him to get even with Saul and to kill him, he refused. He knew better than to touch the anointed of God. He made the wise choice to rather leave it in the hands of our Almighty God! David however still lived […]
100. Easter 2020
I came to give you life and life in abundance. I came to set you free. In Me is everything you will ever need. You don’t need anything more. I am standing with all the supply in My hands. I want to give it all to you, you must just take it. Unfortunately your arms […]
99. God’s message during the coronavirus
The following message comes from the prophetic group that I am part of in Midrand South Africa. May it bless you all: I AM that I AM. I am filled with love, life, hope, health, provision, goodness and grace. I overflow with it all; so much is available to you. Like a waterfall, you simply […]
