LET US REJOICE IN THE NEW DAY, Thursday, March 30, 2023GOOD DAY! This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in itIn Exodus 15:23 we read:And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. Dear Christian friend, at this hour as you are reading through these lines, you, like the children of Israel on their way to the promised land, may be standing by your well of Marah. Sweating and thirsty as you journey to the New Jerusalem, you have spotted a fountain of water in the arid land you are journeying through. Hoping to quench your thirst, you have hurried to it. With the help of your folded palm you gulp the seemingly fresh water down your throat. Next moment you spit everything out of your mouth! Bitter as gall, bitter as gall! Your only hope of quenching your thirst has turned out to be as bitter as gall! Furious, you are about to curse God and die! Be strong and courageous, child of God, for that is not the end of your story. Surely, your destiny will not be sealed at Marah! No, never! Yes, indeed, instead of giving up, I urge you to go on your knees in prayer and implore Almighty God to intervene to turn your situation around. Surely, in His own right time , I AM WHO I AM will come your way to turn your sorrow into joy. So hold on, yes stand firm and don’t quit, my fellow Christian soldier! ... See MoreSee Less

LET US REJOICE IN THE NEW DAY, Wednesday, March 29, 2023GOOD DAY! This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in itIn Nehemiah 8:10 we read:Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our LORD: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength. I first came in contact with my German pastor friend, Gottfried—bless him—in October 1984. Shortly prior to our meeting he and his family had returned from a trip to Cameroon. They were there to visit a family friend, a citizen of the West African country who had returned to his country after completing his medical studies in Germany.“I enjoyed my stay in Africa,” he told me. “I was pleasantly surprised to notice the smile, the joy on the faces of the people I met on the streets, individuals who though materially poorer than my fellow citizens in Germany, appeared, no doubt, to be happier than my countrymen I meet on our streets.” Whereas we must do all in our power to reduce material poverty if not completely eliminate it, the fact still remains that pure happiness is not obtained through material wealth. It is indeed true, my fellow Christian friend, that the joy of the Lord is our strength and not the things of this world. ... See MoreSee Less

LET US REJOICE IN THE NEW DAY, Tuesday, March 28, 2023GOOD DAY! This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in itIn Psalm 91: 9- 10 we read:Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. One day in November, 2018, as I listened to the radio while driving to a meeting, it was reported that the database of a renowned international hotel had been compromised, leading to the data of millions of their customers being stolen. That led me to reflect on matters related to the spiritual realm of our existence. Every day Satan is going around, stealing and compromising the database of human beings and thereby enslaving them. Christian soldiers need not fear the foe, however. For, because we have made the LORD our refuge, “no evil shall befall us; neither shall any plague come nigh our dwelling.”Yes indeed, the Lord we serve has built a super virus defence system around us so we do not need to fear the clandestine attempts of the Devil to infiltrate our spiritual computer, our divine software, to damage our system and take control over us. ...

LET US REJOICE IN THE NEW DAY, Monday , March 27, 2023GOOD DAY! This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in itIn Psalm 14:1-2 we read:The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. Be warned, child of God, of the so-called masters of knowledge who walk the surface of the earth: academics, experts, highly-learned, they enjoy the acclaim of the world; imbued with the spirit of secularism, they go about spreading their ideas. They are held in high-esteem by an adoring society; whatever issues out of their mouths is regarded by their teeming followers as ultimate truth. Resist the temptation, child of God, resist the temptation to swim with the tide of time! Do not lose sight of one thing: mere mortals they are, these heroes of society. They are equipped like you and me with brain cells limited by the Almighty in dimensions! Can a brain of flesh comprehend the deep, deep secrets that belong only to the Creator God Himself? So, beware, child of God! Do not be swayed by strutting men from the Holy Truths laid out in the Wordof God! Instead, I entreat you to trust in the One and only Source of wisdom, the Lord Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth: All that is seen and unseen—YAHWEH, who is all-seeing and all-powerful! ...

LET US REJOICE IN THE NEW DAY, Sunday , March 26, 2023GOOD DAY! This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. In 3 John 2 Good health—how precious it is, my fellow Christian friends.Indeed, when I sit down to consider, yes ponder over all the possible factors, causes, incidents, that could apply to one, who wakes up healthy and strong only to die on a particular day! Indeed, if we consider that anything could happen to us at a particular moment to deprive our brain of its oxygen supply over a period of about five minutes, a situation that could lead to irreparable brain damage and our deaths, we would be singing from morning till evening about the goodness of the Lord, instead of murmuring about trivial matters. Please permit me to list a few of the countless unexpected events that could occur without warning, that may pre-empt the state of affairs alluded to above: choking (caused perhaps by a chunk of food); heart attack; stroke; pulmonary embolism; anaphylactic shock, severe bleeding; a stray bullet, a gas explosion, a car crash—the list is endless. If in spite of all these possible causes of death on a particular day, the Lord has increased our stay on earth by even a day, you and I should be grateful to our Maker, instead of brooding and murmuring over this and that! ...

LET US REJOICE IN THE NEW DAY, Saturday , March 25, 2023GOOD DAY! This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in itIn Isaiah 40:31 we read:But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Several years ago, I was an Asylum seeker in West Germany threatened with deportation. I was really distressed; I found no way out of my seemingly hopeless situation.The Lord in His mercy led me to a church which was attended mainly by the American military community there. There was a Gospel concert going on. The moment I entered the hall and took my seat, the pastor got up to introduce the next song. “Friend,” he declared, “when you come to the end of your rope, you just don’t give up. Rather tie a knot at the end and wait for the Lord to come your way. Be assured of this – He will surely come.’ The words penetrated deep into my heart. I felt God speaking to me through His servant. Though my problems did not dissipate immediately, the words gave me succour and support in time of great need. In the end I was spared deportation at the very last minute. Having been granted a student’s visa, I was able to begin my studies at the Hanover Medical School. Does it appear as if you have come to the end of your road? Are you stranded in the arid desert of your life, with no shelter around to shield you from the scorching sun, and you are sweating, sweating, sweating? You are threatened with a slow and agonizing death – dehydration, multiple organ failure and finally cardiac arrest? You look all around you, and help seems nowhere near. The countdown to your certain demise is slowly but surely heading towards zero. Even in such a dire situation, I urge you, child of God, not to give up, but rather to tie a knot and wait for the appearance of the turnaround God. He is not known to desert His own. Yes, for sure, come your way He surely will. ... See MoreSee Less

LET US REJOICE IN THE NEW DAY, Friday , March 24, 2023GOOD DAY! This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it In 2 Corinthians 11: 24-29 we read:Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false believers.I have laboured and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked. Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches. Who is weak, and I do not feel weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not inwardly burn? Dear Christian soldiers, I want us to ponder over the above scripture as we go about our daily activities on the battlefield of life. I am not advocating that trouble comes our way. We must indeed be happy if our day goes smoothly, devoid of troubles. If on the other hand we are confronted with troubles, we should bear in mind that afflictions are not unique to us. Instead of moaning, yes instead of engaging in endless self-pity, we should instead pray the Lord to give us the grace to endure, for just as sure as the African sun will appear in the skies the next day (it usually does even after a day of persistent rainfall), in the same way, Heaven is sure to visit our home to put a smile on our faces. So, get up and start jumping for Jesus! ... See MoreSee Less

LET US REJOICE IN THE NEW DAY, Thursday , March 23, 2023GOOD DAY! This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in itIn Joel 2:13 we read: And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. As I worked in prison as a prison doctor, a young man of about 20 came to prison and I engaged him in conversation. The reason for his incarceration, he told me, was that he had disobeyed a court injunction order not to approach the residence of his mother. He confessed that he was indeed a troubled person who was causing his mother with whom he lived alone a “hell of a lot of problems”.Initially he abided by the court order. Soon, however, he began to yearn for his mother. No longer able to bear being away from her, he broke the injunction and approached her. Her mother on her part, unable to bear his presence, informed the police who came for him.What a tragic story. I have not ceased from praying for them, that they would find a more amicable solution to their family problem. Let us thank God that He has a big heart for the sinner, His wayward children; indeed, no matter how far away we wander astray, if we repent and return, He will accept us back into His fold. ...

LET US REJOICE IN THE NEW DAY, Wednesday , March 22, 2023GOOD DAY! This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in itIn Matthew 8:13 we read:And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour. Amazing, Amazing, Amazing! The Lord speaks and healing takes place!Strictly speaking, the Divine does not heal, does not mend or repair damaged tissue or organs. Instead, the Divine creates—not gradually, but instantaneously. He does not for example repair or mend a diseased kidney or liver but rather creates a new one to replace the old one damaged by disease. As He says, “I make all things new.” (Revelation 21:5.) The Lord of Creation does not require surgical instruments to carry out surgical repair of a perforated appendix, a brain abscess, a liver cyst, a broken bone or whatever. He just creates new tissue or organs to replace the diseased or injured component. The Lord of Creation does not need to mend broken bones. Without the shedding of blood, without pain to the patient, without the need to swallow painkillers to ease pain, the Divine executes His surgery to restore broken bones and diseased organs. In the presence of the Divine, the functioning of organs does not merely improve, but regains ideal values. Blood sugar values are restored to normalcy in the diabetic, clotting values normalise in the haemophilic, sickle red blood cells are restored to normal shapes in the patient tormented by the severe form of sickle cell anaemia, and so forth. What else do we expect? Indeed, what options do the organs and tissue have but to perform optimally in the presence of He who created them? Are you or your loved ones afflicted with a seemingly incurable disease, just as in the case of my own son diagnosed with autism?Let us join hands in prayer for their restoration. Yes, please remember me in your prayers just as I pray for you. May the Great Physician of all times visit our homes at His own appointed time and bring a change—not to our glory but to the glory of His Mighty Name. ... See MoreSee Less

LET US REJOICE IN THE NEW DAY, Tuesday , March 21, 2023GOOD DAY! This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in itIn 2 Corinthians 4:10 we read:Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. I am not blowing my own trumpet before the whole world. The fact is, I consider myself generally hardworking. Mother and father were both hardworking, working hard from the rising of the sun till its setting to provide for their children. Did they pass on that trait to me? I have indeed been active throughout my life. Of late though, I have begun to realise something—as much as I would like to perform just the way I did in my twenties, thirties, even my forties, my body is simply refusing to obey my commands. Even if it does, I realise at the end of the day, that my body requires more time than it did previously to recover. The ageing process, no doubt, has slowly but surely come into play.One thing which I find comforting in my situation, however, is the realisation that even though I am physically weakened with the years, spiritually that is not the case.Although exposed each day to the vicissitudes of life, the Lord by His grace gives me the spiritual strength each day to cope with my situation. I do not know what tomorrow holds in store for me, but the assurance that the same Almighty God who was my protector yesterday, who has been protecting me today and will be standing guard by my bed as I retire to sleep tonight, will surely be with me on waking up tomorrow is very comforting, to put it mildly. ...

LET US REJOICE IN THE NEW DAY, Monday , March 20, 2023GOOD DAY! This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in itIn Isaiah 54:10 we read:For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee. Assuring words, really assuring words! A promise of everlasting kindness! Mountains and hills rarely move; whereas earthquakes are able to cause small hills and hillocks to crumble, they are unlikely to impact on well-established mountains the likes of the Alps, Everest, Kilimanjaro, etc., however massive the force with which they strike. The above verse declares that even should an earthquake cause a huge mountain to crumble, the love and kindness of the heavenly father will abide forever. Child of God who may be undergoing severe mental agony; who is brooding over the misfortune that has visited your home, get up; I urge you to take comfort in the assuring words of our Heavenly Father. For sure, no matter how protracted the battle may turn out to be, be assured of Divine help, kindness and peace. ... See MoreSee Less

DOCTOR JESUS, THE DOCTOR WHO KNOWS NO BOUNDS!LET US REJOICE IN THE NEW DAY, Sunday , March 19, 2023GOOD DAY! This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in itIn Mark 1: 30&31 we read: But Simon's wife’s mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her. And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. We are not told how long she had been in bed—a day, a couple of days, a week, perhaps? Also, apart from stating that she was in bed with fever, the Bible does not reveal any further details as to the cause of the disease. Still, we can deduce that, whatever the underlying cause of her condition, she was generally unwell at the time of the Lord’s arrival. It was at the very moment when the relatives were grappling with their helplessness in the face of the disease that Doctor Jesus, whose healing powers know no bounds, appeared on the scene. And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. Yes, enter the Great Physician, and disease, whatever the cause, begins to shake, begins to tremble to its core. In this particular case, the Lord touched the afflicted woman. He did not need to do so though. As in various other instances, He just spoke the word and disease, whatever the cause, just took flight and vanished! Dear Christian Soldier, whatever disease that may be afflicting you, your family or dear ones, I pray for Divine Intervention in Jesus Name! ... See MoreSee Less

LET US REJOICE IN THE NEW DAY, Saturday , March 18, 2023GOOD DAY! This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in itIn Genesis 18:14 we read:Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” The answer of course is a big NO! Unfortunately, when confronted with difficulties, when after we have prayed, prayed and prayed; yes, when after we have fasted and fasted our problems are not going away, we have the tendency to waver, indeed to vacillate, yes, to falter.There is a saying that: we must expect the worst while hoping for the best. As far as the believer is concerned, the WORST can NEVER be the end game. The seemingly worst scenario may seem to tarry long—longer than we might have anticipated, longer for our liking.At the end of the day, however, if we hold on, the BEST will surely be ours, for indeed nothing is too difficult for the Lord who has called us to service. ...

What thoughts might have gone through the mind of the prisoner Joseph as he retired to bed in the night prior to the day of his miraculous turn-around experience? May I beg to conjecture: get up as usual, get a few dry pieces of bread for breakfast, bleak future, indefinite incarceration, no hope of ever meeting his family, no hope of marrying and producing a child, no hope, no hope…What are the thoughts going through your mind today, my dear Christian? No hope of finding work; no hope of paying your rent, no hope of even earning enough for your upkeep? No hope of being able to bear your own children?Please bear in mind that we serve a God who can turn us from Prisoners to Prime Ministers in the twinkle of an eye. With that assurance in mind, just keep going; look up, and not down, until the “Turn Around!” God comes your way to turn your sorrow into joy, your affliction into delight, your poverty into prosperity. ...

LET US REJOICE IN THE NEW DAY, Thursday , March 16, 2023GOOD DAY! This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in itIn Proverbs 1:24-30 we read:Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Have you sat down to consider the matter, my dear friend? Whenever there is a catastrophic event on our planet, be it natural or man-made, the world tends to ask the question: “If there is a God why did He allow such a heinous crime or catastrophic earthquake, tsunami, drought, etc., to happen?” Is it not strange, my good friends, how the world seems to consider God as a kind of spare tyre that they consult only in times of emergency? When they meet to party and enjoy their lives, who cares about God? When the lovers of the game of football gather at a huge sports stadium in one of the world capitals and also around TV sets around the globe to enjoy the FIFA World Cup final, who in such moments think about Almighty God? When the world gathers around their TV sets to enjoy the American Super Bowl, does anyone in such ecstatic moments thank Almighty God for the free oxygen at our disposal? Come catastrophe and disaster, then the world begins all of a sudden to heap insults at the Ancient of Days! What a patient and big-hearted God He is! If indeed we happened to possess the power and authority at the disposal of the Rock of Ages, wouldn’t we consider immediate retribution against such a bunch of insolents, known as humanity, who have the audacity to behave in such an appalling manner? Dear Christian soldier, I pray the Lord to give us strength to endure whatever may come our way, however unpalatable it may be, and resist the temptation to question His love . ... See MoreSee Less
