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...

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. If you want to know your purpose on earth, the Creator is key. I believe it pains God to see us living in pain when He has given us all we need to live by. Don't misunderstand me, if we are still in this world, we will face trials and go through pain, but if we allow God to be on our side, He will give us peace and understanding in our trials. We will only have a pain free life in heaven. Today if you always read this blog and you do ...

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...

You know I have really learned a lot of things about God, life and people. Sometimes when I look back I just think, what would have happened if I gave up. Because truthfully there are times where i just felt like giving up. Times when it felt like nothing was working. I remember a few times where I had to literally break down and cry because it felt like I was at the end. I just want to thank God for holding me up and giving me direction. I am sure there are times where you feel like giving up, but my question to you today is "why give up" keep moving forward, as long as God is the one leading you, you will succeed. All thing will eventually work together for good. Don't be afraid the Lord God is with you, just like He is with me. Don't give up because of pressure from people, circumstances e.t.c. The norm is that we tend to go with the flow. We tend to think that we cannot make a difference. We tend to think that only certain kinds of people can make a difference ...

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. This is a warning to each and everyone of us including me. Sometimes we may be moving in a wrong direction and think that it is God. It is amazing that the Word of God says John 16:2 "They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service." Let us be careful that we do the Word of God, that we do not waver when God leads us. The problem with many Christians is that we find ourselves doing what we were not meant to do because of many reasons. I encourage you to stand strong today and keep doing what God wants you to do. If it is what God wants you to do, the bible will be in agreement with it and you will be at peace. On the other hand be careful that it is God who is directing you otherwise you will not survive, there are wolves out there covered in sheep's skin. If it is God who is giving you directions ...

1 Timothy 6:4-6 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.But godliness with contentment is great gain. Is there anything wrong with riches, the answer is no. Is there anything wrong with equating riches to favor with God, the answer is yes. There is everything wrong about having stuff and thinking that means favor with God. For some reason the church nowadays seem to take that direction. We may acquire a lot of stuff and that does not necessarily mean that God is pleased with us. True riches are the fruits of the spirit mentioned in Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." Let us not be deceived. God is continually purifying H...

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. I have heard so many teaching about this scripture. We know now that all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purposes. One thing to note is that is says those who LOVE God. Jesus said that those who love Him will do His will. If we are true children of God eveything will eventually work for our good. another thing to note here is that Paul had a revelation about this. In order for us to fully comprehend this Scripture God has to reveal it to us, otherwise we will just believe it without deep conviction. I can testify to the fact that indeed all things word together for good. as we continue with the scriptures from verse 29 to 39 of the same chapter, paul tells us why all things work together for good. we have already being predistined and justifyed by Christ. In everything we do if we are livi...
