Good Day, Beautiful People.

Thank you for being patient with me & my time out in writing.

I’m not sure what season in your life you are at. You may be doing well at the mountain top or down at the valley. Nothing stay the same, is a season. Seasons change that is part of life journey.

Today, I’m here to remind you this is your time. This is your moment to walk in confidence, take a brave step towards your God’s called destiny. Some of you may have face so many challenges that is easier for you to give up now than to move forward. Don’t let the enemy win. Winning is in your DNA, you’ve Jesus’ blood in you. You’re fighting on the victory ground. Abba Dad wants me to remind you your victories in the past, but you have not see anything yet.

Follow these 8 basic foundation:

1. Keep your vision [Habakuk2:2] in front of you. Dare to dream big dreams. Like Joseph in Genesis 37

2. Run your race. Focus on your unique course & goals. You’re running a good race – Galatians 5:7. …let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.. Hebrews 12:1

3. Expect Good Things. Anticipate great opportunities. Now we live in great expectations… 1Peter 1:3. Surely Goodness & mercy shall follow me… Psalms 23:6 God’s favour in your life.

4. Have a positive mind set. Take control of your thoughts & attitude. Keep the right perspective. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by renewing of your mind – Romans 12:2 Truth will set you free – John 8:32 Set your mind on things above – Colossians 3:2

5. Commit to excellence. Do your best & maintain high standards. 80% of people belongs to the norm – mediocrity. Honour God in all you do. – you’ll have excellence spirit. No sloppiness. Go the extra mile. Do the right even no one see it. You’re representing God. Like Daniel distinguished himself with exceptional qualities. Daniel 6:3 Like Rebekah who when beyond her duties to get water for Abraham’s servant. She got water for the camels too. Guess what God see it & rewards excellence.

6. Keep growing. Be proactive, be intentional, build on your skills, gifts & talents; continue to improve. There is always room for improvement till the we meet Jesus face to face. When you stop learning, you stop growing. Don’t settle. Like David, a humble shepherd boy develop skill at doing slingshot… so he is able to defeat Goliath. Proverbs 18:16 “A man’s gifts make room for him & brings him before the Great.” You have treasure in you, those talents & skills will caused you to be noticed.

“Do you see a man skillful in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men.” Proverbs 22:29 Like Joseph.

Associate with inspiring people – many in our church.

You spend your time like you spend your money. You need to surround yourself with the right people because you have a godly destiny to fulfill.

7. Serve Others. Invest yourself in others. True Leaders are the ones who serve people. Example Jesus washing the disciples feet, heal the sick to chat with the outcast. We are never too important to serve. You feed your soul by helping others. Strength, joy, energy, peace, wisdom and healing come to those who serve. When you lift others, God will lift you. “What you do in secret, God will reward you for in the open.” Matthew 6:6

8. Stay passionate. Light the fire within and approach life with enthusiasm. Get your passion back, even you faced some setbacks. God can and will cause things to shift in your favour. You simply have to believe. Stay excited. Don’t let your miracle become so common that they don’t excite you anymore. Eg you pray to meet your soulmate, you are so over the moon. Then years down the track, you take each other for granted. You lose that passion and first love. Maybe nothing exciting in your life at the moment or you are facing big challenges. You need to sow a seed. God will take that seed and grow that seed to bring something mind blowing into your life. Ecclesiastes says “whatever you do, do it with all your heart & you are honouring God.” Keep working & growing. You can retire from your job but never retire from life. Get in agreement with God, “Lift up your head & the King of Glory will come in.” He will make a way where it looks like there is no way. Don’t lose your passion. God will come in & guide you to where He wants you to be. Look ahead don’t get stuck & bitter, fall into self pity, blame others & let the past poison your future. Get rid of the baggage of hurt, pain, disappointment & resentment. Forgive those who hurt you. Learn to forgive yourself like Jesus has forgiven you.

Tell your heart to dream again! Remember your first love. Revelations 2 “I’ve one thing against you, you have left your first love.” Go & get it back…

Dreams can come back to life, Vision can be renewed. Passion can be restored.

Wired Worship, Unwired Whinging

Good Day, Beautiful People! [Bonne journée Beau! Buen día Bella!]

Everyone worship something…
Self, Someone, Money, Idols, Earth, Animals, Celebrities, Sport, Food, Things, Substance, Devil, Satan, Jesus and God.
Worship is important in every believer daily life. Sing if there is barrenness in any area of your life; physical, psychological, relational or financial.

Sing like Isaiah 54.
God Brings His People Home
“Woman, be happy!
You have not had any children,
but you should be very happy.
“Yes, the woman who is alone[a]
will have more children than the woman with a husband.”
2 This is what the Lord says.
“Make your tent bigger.
Open your doors wide.
Don’t think small!
Make your tent large and strong,
3 because you will grow in all directions.
Your children will take over many nations
and live in the cities that were destroyed.
4 Don’t be afraid!
You will not be disappointed.
People will not say bad things against you.
You will not be embarrassed.
When you were young, you felt shame.
But you will forget that shame now.
You will not remember the shame you felt
when you lost your husband.[b]
5 Your real husband is the one who made you.
His name is the Lord All-Powerful.
The Holy One of Israel is your Protector,[c]
and he is the God of all the earth!
6 “Like a woman whose husband has left her,
you were very sad.
You were like a young wife left all alone.
But the Lord has called you back to him.”
This is what your God says.
7 “For a short time I turned away from you,
but with all my love I will welcome you again.
8 I was so angry that for a while I did not want to see you.
But now I want to comfort you with kindness forever.”
The Lord your Savior said this.
9 “Remember, in Noah’s time I punished the world with the flood.
But I made a promise to Noah that I would never again destroy the world with water.
In the same way, I promise that I will never again be angry with you
and say bad things to you.
10 “The mountains may disappear,
and the hills may become dust,
but my faithful love will never leave you.
I will make peace with you,
and it will never end.”
The Lord who loves you said this.
11 “You poor city!
Enemies came against you like storms,
and no one comforted you.
But I will rebuild you.
I will use a beautiful mortar to lay the stones of your walls.
I will use sapphire stones when I lay the foundation.
12 The stones on top of the wall will be made from rubies.
I will use shiny jewels for the gates.
I will use precious stones to build the walls around you.
13 I, the Lord, will teach your children,
and they will have real peace.
14 You will be built on goodness.
You will be safe from cruelty and fear.
So you will have nothing to fear.
Nothing will come to hurt you.
15 I will never send anyone to attack you.
And if any army tries to attack you, you will defeat them.
16 “Look, I made the blacksmith. He blows on the fire to make it hotter. Then he takes the hot iron and makes the kind of tool he wants to make. In the same way, I made the ‘Destroyer’ to destroy things.
17 “People will make weapons to fight against you, but their weapons will not defeat you. Some people will say things against you, but anyone who speaks against you will be proved wrong.”
The Lord says, “That is what my servants get! They get the good things[d] that come from me, their Lord.

Worship definition- Reverent honour, homage paid to God, adoring reverence, glorify and adoration.
Worship:
When you are on your knees, in stillness, waiting on God. [God is silence does not equate to He abandons or forsakes you.“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Heb13:5]
When you take your stand, raise your arm and ready for battle like Joshua.
When you raise your arms in victory like Deborah in book of Judges 5.

The first song that is recorded in the living word:
The Song of Moses and Miriam
Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord:
“I will sing to the Lord,
for he is highly exalted.
Both horse and driver
he has hurled into the sea.
2 “The Lord is my strength and my defense[a];
he has become my salvation.
He is my God, and I will praise him,
my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
3 The Lord is a warrior;
the Lord is his name.
4 Pharaoh’s chariots and his army
he has hurled into the sea.
The best of Pharaoh’s officers
are drowned in the Red Sea.[b]
5 The deep waters have covered them;
they sank to the depths like a stone.
6 Your right hand, Lord,
was majestic in power.
Your right hand, Lord,
shattered the enemy.

7 “In the greatness of your majesty
you threw down those who opposed you.
You unleashed your burning anger;
it consumed them like stubble.
8 By the blast of your nostrils
the waters piled up.
The surging waters stood up like a wall;
the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy boasted,
‘I will pursue, I will overtake them.
I will divide the spoils;
I will gorge myself on them.
I will draw my sword
and my hand will destroy them.’
10 But you blew with your breath,
and the sea covered them.
They sank like lead
in the mighty waters.
11 Who among the gods
is like you, Lord?
Who is like you—
majestic in holiness,
awesome in glory,
working wonders?
12 “You stretch out your right hand,
and the earth swallows your enemies.
13 In your unfailing love you will lead
the people you have redeemed.
In your strength you will guide them
to your holy dwelling.
14 The nations will hear and tremble;
anguish will grip the people of Philistia.
15 The chiefs of Edom will be terrified,
the people[c] of Canaan will melt away;
16 terror and dread will fall on them.
By the power of your arm
they will be as still as a stone—
until your people pass by, Lord,
until the people you bought[d] pass by.
17 You will bring them in and plant them
on the mountain of your inheritance—
the place, Lord, you made for your dwelling,
the sanctuary, Lord, your hands established.
18 “The Lord reigns
for ever and ever.”
19 When Pharaoh’s horses, chariots and horsemen[e] went into the sea, the Lord brought the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.
20 Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her, with timbrels and dancing.
21 Miriam sang to them:
“Sing to the Lord,
for he is highly exalted.
Both horse and driver
he has hurled into the sea.”

Praise definition- The act of expressing approval or admiration; commendation; laudation. The offering of grateful homage in words or song, as an act of worship.
Praise will protect your life and will preserve your soul.
There are two times in our lives to praise God:
When you feel like it.
When you don’t feel like it.
Either way, He is worthy to be praise! Giving God praise and gratitude is a choice we get to decide daily. As believers we have more than sufficient to be thankful. Jesus’ love and God’s grace are more than abundant to keep us grateful for the rest of eternity.

Good Day, Beautiful People!

Life is full of ups and down, not always smooth. We can all wish life is like a bed of roses. Granted that you are in this life journey sooner or later you will face challenges.  Not many can escape from relationship, financial, health, emotional, addiction, crisis and ultimately mortality. Sometime, it takes some drastic drama happen to us either to our loved ones or friends for us to be awaken from our stupor. At that instant, we have to make a decision to crumble or to fight. I hope we choose to be brave and live with intention and purpose. You may choose to think this will never happen to me so I can choose to live life carelessly and frivolously have nobody to answer to. Actually, you are right. That is the freedom of choice. Although that is true, why wait till crisis happen then make a choice when you can do it now. Search your heart, ask yourself are you living your life purposefully toward your destiny.

Trust me, is not everyday, 12th of May 2014, I wake up to a brave and beautiful friend, Nerralea Van Der Merwe featured on news by the work of another super creative and marvellous friend, Kym Thomson.
It is incredible to see Nezz rises up and refuses to give up attitude. Beyond doubt, Nezz’s faith, conviction, people who love her like family and friends, church and support groups has make her an overcomer and not a victim of cancer. Nezz is not the only person I know that went through this cancer journey. You know who you are. I will not mention your names here without your permission. Thank you for being brave and navigate this path so well.

Of course, I am very proud of my friends’ achievement and will continue to cheer them on! Beside, I am a bit jaded by reading all the negativity, bad news most of the time. I find it refreshing and inspiring to read good news, news that bring hope. Nevertheless, the reason I am sharing this story is I know that there are people out there who need to know there is hope in the darkness. Folks who are still in the midst of their storm need to focus on Jesus, your captain, keep declaring health, and  look far away at the horizon.

Believe in your future self. Don’t be push by your problems. Be led by your dreams.

Isn’t this a good reminder for most of us as young and older women need to embrace our bodies. Regardless what the world says about your body. You are beautiful because you are created in the image of your Creator.

She is a dreamer, a doer, a thinker. She sees possibility everywhere.

Look at the beautiful and amazing Nezz now, trim and fit!

I leave you with this thought. The living word states: “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.” -Matt 19:26
