God's signet ring

The Church ~ God's Signet Ring

Beloved of God, I greet you in the Name of our Lord Jesus. (Rom. 9:25)🤗💞

My message is from Haggai. Seeing as we are going through a drought in Cape Town, it is a very apt message. In Haggai the Lord punished >>His people<< with a drought because they were neglecting to rebuild His temple that was in ruins, but they were very busy fixing and beautifying their homes.

In those days God's presence was with them in His temple.

God also accused His people of being defiled.

So I was thinking how can I apply this to today and our drought and it came to me that today the Lord is not concerned about temples built with hands, but with us, His body, the living stones whose bodies are His temple. What are we neglecting?

We are so busy with ourselves and our own lives. Our focus is on uplifting ourselves, making life better for ourselves and in our busyness, we may neglect to do what Jesus commands us to do.

We are to uplift others, the poor, our own families, to lend a helping hand, to encourage, to bear one another's burdens. To use our own resources and money to help others, but sadly many believers in Christ do not, they only focus on self, building our own kingdom, not a care about others and the troubles they are going through.

But there is good news even though the Lord our God punished His people with a drought, He also encourages them. It is written in Haggai that the Lord stirred up His people to start rebuilding His house. The Lord also promised His people to be strong, that He is with them, that His Spirit will remain among them, that they are not to fear. (They were afraid when prophet Haggai told them what the Lord said regarding His temple in ruins and that they are doing nothing to rebuild it.)

So let us as the body of Christ have willing hands to do the work of God for He works through people. God's Spirit is not in a building anymore, but IN US and He will not leave us to our own devices when we cry out to Him to help us, to show us the way, to provide for us so that we can be a blessing to others. His Spirit will stir us up and strengthen us to do what is required, He will bless us with all we need to do His will. He only requires faith, obedience and willing hands. We have a task to make His presence visible in this world that we live in.

God refers to Zerubbabel as His signet ring, for He has chosen Zerubbabel. We are God's chosen and we are His signet ring! So let us as His signet ring make His mark in this world.

May this drought be a wake-up call to the Christians in Cape Town, but also the church all over the world, that we are to be about our Father's business and do what Jesus commands us to do. Clearly, God is not happy with many of the things that we as the church are doing and neglecting to do and it is clear from Revelation in the letters to the 7 churches, the dead church, the lukewarm church, the corrupt church, the compromising church, the loveless church. The persecuted church and the faithful church are the only ones not warned by Lord Jesus to repent.

And through all the letters, apart from warning them to repent or else, the Lord also praise the good things they do and encourages them. So do not fear, but let us repent of any sin in our lives and from neglecting to do what Jesus commands us to do. God bless His church.

 

 

The Battle Is Real

The Battle Is Real

Yesterday after rebuking a Nigerian sangoma who was advertising his voodoo services online, telling him about Jesus and the gospel, pleading the blood of Jesus against his demons and God's consuming fire, he comes to my inbox on FB and threatens me and tells me "I don't like this.  You serve your God, I will serve mine.  Be warned."
Yes, I'm sure the demons oppressing him doesn't like that he heard the word of God. 
Well, I fear no man and no demons, only our holy God.
I prayed warfare prayers and I have faith because I know who I am in Christ and no weapon formed against me shall prosper, because greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world! Halleluyah!  Glory be to God!  Thank you Jesus.

God bless your day and your family and may He protect you from the enemy who prowls around like a roaring lion seeking whom to devour. In Jesus' Name. Amen.  Seek His face and abide in Him always.  The enemy is under Jesus' feet, therefore he is under our feet!  Jesus said to His disciples that they will tread on scorpions and serpents! We are His disciples! He gave us that authority over all the power of the enemy. Halleluyah!  But we have to be sure not to be in any willful sin or else the enemy will have an open door to attack us.
Thanks for reading. 

Jesus Loves You

God bless you in the Name above all names, JESUS! 🤗💕🕊️🌺 

There is SALVATION in JESUS CHRIST ALONE.
NO OTHER WAY to Father God in heaven, but only through His only begotten Son Jesus Christ.  

Jesus is THE WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE.

#JesusLovesYou #JesusCameForSinners #JesusCallsSinnersToRepentance #Believe 

Jesus is the Word of God who was in the beginning with God and the Word was God.  God manifested in the flesh as Jesus, who is the image of the invisible God who is Spirit.

Jesus died through crucifixion for the sins of the world because He loves you and died for you while you are still a sinner, but He wants you to repent of the wicked ways you are on when you come to faith in Him. He rose from the dead after 3 days to give those who #believe in Him #eternallife .  His Spirit comes to live in you when you first believe. Salvation is a #GIFT from God.  You receive that gift through #faith. Come to Jesus in faith and repentance and see how God begins a good work in you and gradually changes you to conform you to the image of Christ until the day that Jesus Christ returns.  God bless the one who reads this message and takes it to heart.✝️🙏💕🕊️🔥

 

Eyes shut from seeing evil?

Greetings in Jesus' blessed Name.🤗💞  May God shine His face upon you and your family and all your loved ones today.

 

Our God is a devouring fire! A consuming fire! Let us live in holiness before Him, strive to not live in deliberate sin. Look at that last part of the verse "who shuts his eyes from seeing evil".

It makes me think of the filth people watch on television and in movies and the filth they lay their eyes on in magazines.

 

Let us as sanctified children of God guard our eyes against seeing evil. Satan uses every opportunity to seduce us into sin with the lust of the flesh. He does it through what we entertain with our eyes and what we listen to. Let us be wise as serpents and do only the will of our Father in heaven. All to His glory. 

 

What glory is there to the Holy Name of God when His blood-bought children continue to walk in willful sin? Because that reveals that we are not walking in the power of the Holy Spirit, we are still being controlled by our flesh. 

 

Yes, we as Christians do sin, but there is a sin not unto death and there is a sin that is unto death and that is a deliberate sin. Willful sin is so serious that we are told not even to pray for one who is in willful sin. One that is in willful sin drifts further and further away from Christ and will end up apostate because they are sinning deliberately and they do not care to stop.  Their consciences will be seared.

 

No one who is born of God practices sin because His seed abides in him and he cannot sin because he is born of God.
~1 John 3:9 

Heavens like bronze

Sunday 24th September 2017 I had a dream and in the dream the sky is a lovely soft blue colour as always, but I notice the 'texture' of the sky looks solid like rock.  There is much more to the dream but for now I am only focusing on this part.
And just the other day on Monday, 29th of January 2018 I was again reading through my notes where I wrote down the dream and it came to me that somewhere in the Bible is written about the heaven hard as rock or something to that effect.  So I searched and lo and behold, look what I found.
It is symbolic of drought.
And until the other day I had no idea what it meant, "sky solid like rock".  I do believe the Holy Spirit brought it to my mind.  Please read this:

And your heavens which are over your head shall be bronze, and the earth which is under you shall be iron. 

Deuteronomy 28:23

I will break the pride of your power;

I will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze.

Leviticus 26:19 

Sky high

R20000 water bill

Devil thought he could upset us. I had a dream about a tall mountain last year. Could mean hard times to overcome. God already removed one mountain! We were told to take a reading of the water meter and lo and behold, the guy made an error with the reading. We'll be getting a new account. Thank you JESUS.

We are within our daily water allowance!

But you know, God has a way of preparing you for something. Just a few days ago on one of the water pages on FB, a woman commented that she got a R20000 water bill. I felt so sorry for her and thought I don't know what I would do if that happened to us. Also a Scripture grabbed my attention yesterday where Jesus gave His disciples authority over all the power of the enemy! And today when William told me, the peace of God was in my heart. I was not in the least bit upset. I actually found it quite funny because I knew it was a mistake and the enemy of our souls putting another mountain in our way, trying to rob us of our peace and faith. We immediately knew to pray and I told that mountain to be lifted up and thrown into the sea in the Name of JESUS! William went back to the municipality to give the new reading. They acknowledged it was a mistake and we'll be getting a new bill.

Jesus came through for us again.
MOUNTAIN #2 REMOVED!
There is POWER in the Name of Jesus. 

 

Western Cape drought

Western Cape drought 

Trusting God, waiting on Him

All thoughout this drought of ours when I cry out to God, talk to Him about it, He always takes me to Scripture regarding drought.  And I rejoice, because He has brought me to Scriptures a few times where it says that He gives the rain.  I know God will eventually come through for us.  He is a good, merciful God. 

Look at this Scripture....GOD commands the clouds that they rain no rain on us.  I just hope and pray our local government will mention God in all their efforts of running to and fro planning for more water.  No acknowledgement from them about God.

And this whole drought has become a political game. God cannot be blamed even though He brings the drought because our national government and our Western Cape provincial government had a warning of a coming shortage years ago already, but they did nothing to prepare. 

Everywhere we see new building projects going on but nothing is being done to prepare for the growing burden on our water infrastructure.  Now they are rushing around extracting underground water, building 3 small desalination plants, whereas they could have started on big ones years ago, but always claim there is no money, but the Department of Water and Sanitation spend hundreds of millions on a new building recently for new offices.  Mismanagement is to blame and hunger for power!

So we wait on God and His perfect timing and I for one, trust only in Jesus because as we see, people will always disappoint us.  And it is not as if we did not get any rain at all.  We did.  And I praise Him and thank Him for every drop!👐💕

I will really appreciate your on-going prayers regarding our drought.  Please pray God for wisdom for the government and for unity of the people, for a house divided cannot stand, even the political house and of course please pray for abundance of rain, to break our drought.  Thank you and God bless you always.🙏💕🕊️
