Be Gentle...

"But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife.  And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient,  in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will." 2 Timothy 2:23-26 I read this scripture more than once and I came to revelation that we are Spirit bodies having an earthly experience therefore as verse 24 says "And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient," When we walk in the Spirit we are to be GENTLE, Gentle meaning 'soft spoken' NOT loud, rude or self seeking.

Make room for Jesus...

Good Day Everyone, its been a very chilled day for me, I am home with my baby girl Sai giving her some TLC. I was just thinking earlier how easy it is to get discouraged when we are facing all sorts of trouble like job loss, late payments of salaries, kids going astray, a broken relationship between husband and wife, a loss of a loved one the list is endless. How often in the midst of all our troubles do we actually just call on the name of Jesus for 'help' instead of questioning God about our 'troubles' (it is a norm) however for our circumstances to change we got to stop doing the same things, we have to step out on the water, and reach out to Jesus, knowing that He will keep us from sinking. I am reminded of David, how when he was discouraged he encouraged himself in the Lord. We have the Bible and that's God's word and it has so much comfort and promises for us. Today is a good day to Embrace His Word. When Jesus was tempted in the desert by the devil, He

"Be joyful in hope and patient in affliction..."

While walking to get a taxi this morning God gives me a word and it was this "Be joyful in hope and patient in affliction" this sentence was literally ringing in my ear. I didn't understand it and then when I get to work my husband sent me a message that is basically a notice he received from his boss and it wasn't a good one.  As I went about my work this words kept coming back to me and I typed up the words in the search thingy on Google and low and behold that words is from a scripture in the Bible, it is   Romans 12:12  " Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."  I needed to read the last part   "faithful in prayer"  I want to to encourage you with this word this morning   "be joyful in hope"   who is our hope? it is Jesus,  "be patient in affliction" , do not ask God to remove your trial or your tribulation ask him to strengthen you in the midst of it,   "be faithful, stay constant in

Love UNCONDITIONALLY

I just want to ENCOURAGE the married ladies out there this Morning, don't ever get weary / tired of doing good for your husbands, pray for him, protect him from words of others, even when you don't feel like it speak life giving words, when you feel angry towards him, pray for him, when we are disappointed don't react out of anger, pray before you speak, the times we live in we are all guilty of being rude and taking things out of context but God has a better way of us relating to our spouses, let us not grow weary of doing good for our husbands because in due season our heavenly Father will reward us(Galations 6:9). Whatever is lacking in your marriage(kindness, love, care, affection, trust, faith, communication, affirmation etc), YOU start sowing that, and see how God will turn things in your favor, in His time. Love unconditionally. In His Love, Zenneline Louw
