Romans 6:11 – Be ALIVE TO GOD, alert to Him, through Jesus Christ our Lord!
Let us make sure that we place ourselves in His hands. It is something that we can do. We can approach God and place our lives in His hands and expect that as He has done for others, He will do for us and He will reach out and rescue us. You may find yourself…
WHERE IS YOUR FOCUS? It starts by evaluation where our focus lies. What are we focusing on and what do we allow our minds to dwell on. In South Africa, where I live, many people live in fear of crime and violence. It eventually affects every aspect of their waking lives. It even begins to…
OBSTACLES TO COURAGE There are many obstacles to our courage and to a courageous way of life. I want to identify just three. FEAR – Fear is a debilitating condition that robs us of our strength, resolve and courage and keeps us from possessing what God has for us. DOUBT – Doubt is another little…
The fact that God knows us is a blessing. We do not need to become fearful. He knows us because He loves us. Isaiah 43:1 But now the Lord who created you says: Don’t be afraid, for I have ransomed you; I have called you by name; you are mine. God’s plan for us is…
When we make room for doubt, we create an ideal opportunity to end up doubting. We must not open the door to doubt. If we do open the door to doubt it will flood and overcome us. Don’t make space in your heart for doubt. Let’s keep on believing and keep on trusting God. Hebrews 10:23 Now…

Sometimes we don’t want to go for God because of previous failures. Perhaps you have failed and fallen down. God wants to lift us back up. Past failures can be one of the most limiting factors in life. We never move for fear of repeating the failure. God knows us better than we know ourselves. He wants to help us. Perhaps…
This is another fear that many people battle with. It is basically the fear of the future. The future is one of the great unknowns in our lives. We begin by living in the future. Then, because the future is unknown we begin to fear it. As a result we don’t enjoy what we already have – the present!…
Psalm 118:6 The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? Psalm 56:4 I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? ‘What man can do to you’ can include almost anything that human beings can do to one another. I have seen the fear of…
Fear is one of the greatest things that limit and hold us back. Fear has a way of rushing in on our lives and paralyzing us. In the process we contend with many things that often never happen. Right now, if you were to take a moment, you can probably think of something that you are facing. But God…
