Generation Z

Image
by Yvette van Niekerk Psalm 51: 10 Living Bible "Create in me a new, clean heart, O God, filled with clean thoughts and right desires." I have come to realize that most young people want authenticity. The real deal so to speak, I know I hate it when I have to deal with fake people. You never really know where you stand with a person who acts and isn't true to themselves or other people around them. I read that CNBC did a survey showing that 67% of Generation Z agrees to be true to one's values and beliefs make that person cool. Speaking from my own experience I appreciate it when a person is real and pure. I am working on my attitude towards people in general by putting other people above me. I do not want to hurt anybody and I try to make them feel more important than myself. I told my husband over the weekend that I would do anything for my children because I hardly see them and will go out of my way so that I do not offend or hurt their feelings. I realise that I a...

Holy Week - Palm Sunday

Image
  by Yvette van Niekerk Mark 11:1-11 (The Message) Entering Jerusalem on a Colt 11        1-3 When they were nearing Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany on Mount Olives, he sent off two of the disciples with instructions: “Go to the village across from you. As soon as you enter, you’ll find a colt tethered, one that has never yet been ridden. Untie it and bring it. If anyone asks, ‘What are you doing?’ say, ‘The Master needs him, and will return him right away.’” 4-7 They went and found a colt tied to a door at the street corner and untied it. Some of those standing there said, “What are you doing untying that colt?” The disciples replied exactly as Jesus had instructed them, and the people let them alone. They brought the colt to Jesus, spread their coats on it, and he mounted. 8-10 The people gave him a wonderful welcome, some throwing their coats on the street, others spreading out rushes they had cut in the fields. Running ahead and follo...

Created for an eternal purpose!

Image
by Yvette van Niekerk I believe I have been created for an eternal purpose. Ephesian 2: 7 - 10 MSG Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. Saving is all his idea and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It's God's gift from start to finish! We don't play the major role. If we did, we'd probably go around bragging that we'd done the whole thing! No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing." After Adam and Eve's sin, we were given a second chance in life, through the Lord Jesus Christ. To be re-created spiritually. I believe I have been created for a purpose. If so, how will I live my life? I believe God wants me to build my life upon His Word, the Bible. I have been...

God is my Lord!

Image
by Yvette van Niekerk   God is my Lord! 2 Samuel 7: 18-21-22-24 Msg "King David went in, took his place before GOD, and prayed: "Who am I, my Master GOD, and what is my family, that you have brought me to this place in life? But that's nothing compared to what's coming, for you've also spoken of my family far into the future, given me a glimpse into tomorrow, my Master GOD! What can I possibly say in the face of all this? You know me, Master GOD, just as I am. You've done all this not because of who I am but because of who you are - out of your very heart! - but you've let me in on it. "This is what makes you so great, Master GOD! There is none like you, no God but you, nothing to compare with what we've heard without own ears. And who is like your people, like Israel, a nation unique in the earth, whom God set out to redeem for himself (and became most famous for it), performing great and fearsome acts, throwing out nations and their gods left an...

What's your vision?

Image
 by Yvette van Niekerk Ezekiel 8: 4 "According to the vision that I saw." In God's Word, we read "calls those things which do not exist as though they did." Romans 4 verse 17. I read that visions pains the target lights a fire within you and draws you forward. Would you agree on this point with me? What is your burning desire? What are you pursuing right now?  Do you have obstacles, opposition, roadblocks and resistance in your life? How can you overcome all these issues you may be facing right now? I'm sure that when we speak to the Lord, God He will help us. He's in control over each and every person's life. Do you remember Esther's vision she said that "if she perishes, then she perishes?" Esther 4 verse 16. We all know she didn't perish, she saved her people, she was willing to die for them. Are you? If you want to fulfil your vision you must do the following: measure yourself, and write down your vision.  Prayer Lord Jesus, hel...
