Last Blog of the Year 2011

Dumelang This has been a great year. There were a lot of ups and downs but we made it. This year will always be in my heart because it is the year that Progressive Glory International Church was born and registered. There were a lot of things I had to pass through and learn before finally deciding to plant a Church. God has truly been good. One thing I have learned is that if God wants you to do something no one can stop it no matter how hard they try. It is true that the Lord sets a table before our enemies. It is also true that we should love our enemies. Bitterness and anger cannot help us accomplish what the Lord wants us to accomplish, it is only when we let go of those who have hurt us and continue to love them that the Lord opens doors and uses us. Until you realize that you are alone and you will stand before the Lord one day alone, there is not much we can do because we will not have an identity. As long as we are defined by a group of individuals, there is not muc...

Control

Psalms 24:1 "The earth is the LORD's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein." Everything in this world belongs to God, including me and you. He is the creator of all things visible and invisible. Sometimes we like to think that we are in control or in charge of things that are around us. That is not true. WE ARE NOT IN CONTROL. God is the one who has full control of what He has created. Simply put, if you want to understand what is going on around you and how to maneuver in life, the Creator is Key.

We will only have a pain free life in heaven. Today if you always read this blog and you do ...

They will hurt you

Luke 17:1 "Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!" In this life people are going to hurt you. People are going to put words that you never spoke in your mouth. People are going to speak bad things about you. People are going to misunderstand you. People are going to blame you for things that you have never done. People are going to think that you are crazy. People are going to want you to fit into their box and if you don't, they will hurt you and say terrible things that you never even imagined. People that you have always trusted may turn against you. People want your soul and if you have not given your life to the Lord or you are luke warm, you will be a play ground for people and the enemy. It may look like you are succeeding but if your soul is not in the right place you are just being used. If you are not surrendered to the Lord you are a slave, rather be a slave to the Lord becau...
