1 Kronieke 4:10 ABA
Jabes het tot die God van Israel gebid en gesê: “Ek bid dat U my BAIE sal seën en dat U BAIE grond vir my sal gee...

Jabes bid... Here, seën my asb BAIE, en vergroot my grondgebied...
Nou onthou Jabes was n man wat die Here gedien het, want God het van hom spesiale notisie geneem, toe HY gesê het, (in my woorde gestel) "hierdie een, hierdie Jabes, word deur My hoër geag as sy broers"... wow, wat n voorreg dat God dit van hom kon sê. En dis sy gebed (en ek sou sê sy toewyding - commitment) wat God beindruk het.
Jabes vra dat God sy grondgebied sal vergroot. Nou in daardie tyd het jy of met vee geboer, of met graan, of miskien n wingerd gehad. Hy het, maw, gevra dat God sy boerdery, sy besigheid sal vergroot. Nou wanneer ons dit bid, moet jy in ag neem of jou besigheid die Here eer, en of jy jou inkomste gebruik om ander te help. Want onthou God seën ons, SODAT ons ander ook kan seën. Want ons moet leer om te deel met minder behoeftiges, of wanneer Heilige Gees iemand op jou hart lê om hulle te help. Daardie "help" vorm deel van die GOEIE werke wat GOD alreeds vir ons voorberei het, om te doen. En dit vorm deel van ons beloning wat God OOK vir ons voorberei het.
Bedink nou hierdie "verbeeldingstoneel" God het vir elkeen van ons n mega groot "verrassings-skat" in die hemel, maar ai, daar mis ons om n "goeie daad" te doen... en die engele kry bevel om daardie deel, wat aan daardie spesifieke goeie daad gekoppel word, te gaan wegvat. En ons verloor n deeltjie van die prag van die woning wat Jesus in gereedheid vir ons gaan doen het?!) Dis net my verbeelding... maar sê nou dit is so? Hoeveel het jy en ek dalk deur ongehoorsaamheid of vrees nagelaat om goed te doen. Want ons werke gaan juis deur vuur getoets word. Waar jy en ek dalk n paleis van n huis sou ontvang, het ons dalk soveel minder! En ons sal nie eens kan teëstribbel nie, want ons lewe sal n ope brief wees vir almal.
So ons kan vra "Here vergroot my besigheid, sodat ek ook n seën vir ander kan wees. Nou vir my sal dit die bediening wees... Here vergroot my bedieningsveld, dat ek meer vir U kan doen, en beteken. Onthou jou gesin, die mense met wie jy elke dag te doen het, is ook JOU bedieningsveld. Dis mense met pyn, hartseer, en behoeftes. En jy is dalk die enigste een wat daardie persoon kan bereik met God se liefde... want God het daardie "werk" vir jou voorberei, en dis deel van jou grondgebied. Onthou dis Heilige Gees wat jou lei, en dit sal jou dwing om uit jou gemaksone te beweeg. En so groei jou en my grondgebied tot eer van die Here. Onthou ons is almal mede werkers van God met een doel voor oë, om n seën te wees vir ander. Amen.

Dierbare Hemelse Vader, vanoggend bid ons ook dat U ons grondgebied sal vermeerder, en saam met dit die moed en deursettingsvermoë om nie terug te deins nie, maar te weet dat U, Elohim, is al die pad, met ons saam. Want dis U, Heilige Gees wat ons met krag aandoen om dit te doen wat U op ons hart lê om te doen. Baie dankie vir U Woord van bemoediging en liefde, ons lief en aanbid U met ons hele wese.
Dit bid ons in diepe ootmoed totaal van U afhanklik, met groot danksegging in die kragtige en Oorwinnende Naam van Jesus Christus ons geliefde Redder en Heer, amen.

When a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Proverbs 16:7 AMP
When reading this particular verse in Scripture, great thankfulness overwhelms my heart, and I consider again how greatly blessed we are as children of Almighty ABBA Father God.
So what pleases God?
When we love Him above all; when we are obedient listeners and doers of His Word; when we listen to the promptings and unction of the Holy Spirit; when we speak, think and walk according to His Word. To put all of that in one word, could be difficult, but maybe it can all be taken together by the little "great" word, "LOVE".
Why not use that word as a goalpost to measure all our reactions during, and in, all our daily activities, and recreational habits? It will change all the people around us. At home, at the shops, at work, wherever, all because of love. It might not be possible in our 'old' nature to do it, but through Christ in us, we are able to change one person at a time, because of HIS new nature in us. AND if at first we fail, so what, we must just KEEP AT IT! And so 'unfriendly' enemies are changed into friendly 'enemies' one at a time, and who knows, when God will give us an opportunity to share the Word, and by God's grace, they can become our 'family' in the Lord. So all in all we CAN, if we are WILLING, experience the truth of our scripture verse. Amen, praise the Lord.
Thank You dear Heavenly Father for Your Word. We are so extremely blessed to be called Your children and even more so when we consider all the promises and freedom we have in You. Father, thank You, thank You, thank You.
Thank You so much that we don't have to fear our enemies, but that through Your God-kind love in us, we can overcome in Jesus Name. We give You all the glory, all the honour, praise and worship forever and ever amen. Lord this we humbly pray, with much thanksgiving, in the precious and mighty Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Master, amen

En toe die duiwel elke versoeking geëindig het, het hy 'n tyd lank van Hom gewyk.
LUKAS 4:13 AFR53
Die Woord sê dat Jesus het ook versoekings gehad, Hy het ook n keuse gehad tussen "goed en sleg". Maar Hy het elke versoeking weerstaan en oorwin deur die krag van die gesproke Woord. Jesus het nie met n fisiese geveg die duiwel aangevat nie, nee, deur die Woorde wat Hy gespreek het, het Hy elke versoek oorwin.
Dit wys vir ons, dat wanneer ons die Woord in ons hart, ons gedagtes, en mond het, het ons, saam met gebed, al die "wapens" wat ons nodig het. Want Jesus het keer op keer Sy dissipels gewaarsku met die Woorde: "Waak en bid, dat julle nie in versoeking kom nie. Die gees is wel gewillig, maar die vlees is swak."Mar 14:38
Die ander toets en versoeking vir ons is, om weg te bly van dit wat ons swakheid is, en ons voeg nuuskierigheid daarby... bv. Ek wil net gou gaan hoor... gaan kyk... wat het of gaan gebeur...
Paulus waarsku vir Timotheus, en net sowel vir ons ook, want versoekings kom op alle ouderdomme, en dit hou nooit op nie. Want Paulus sê: "Maar VLUG vir die begeerlikhede van die jonkheid en JAAG ná geregtigheid, geloof, liefde, vrede, saam met die wat die Here uit 'n rein hart aanroep."II Tim 2:22
Daarom, laat ons wegvlug van al die dinge wat nie van die Here is nie, want ons het nodig om ons harte te bewaar in "Goddelike" geregtigheid, geloof, liefde, en vrede. Amen.
Dierbare Hemelse Vader, ons kom daagliks in verskeie versoekings, U weet dit goed. Veral om getrou in geregtigheid, geloof, liefde, en vrede te wandel. Help ons asb vandag om ons oë en harte standvastig op u gerig te hou, en met n standvastige geloof die vyand te kan weerstaan in alle versoekings. Want ons wil dat ons gedagtes, woorde en dade, U tot eer sal strek en verheerlik. Want U is ons hulp in al ons benoudhede, en U weet hoe om ons uit te red. Aan U kom toe al die lof, al die eer, al die heerlikheid en aanbidding tot in ewigheid, amen. Vader ons sê vir U so baie dankie en ons bid dit in diepe ootmoed in die kosbare en kragtige Naam van Jesus Christus onse Heer en Meester, amen

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy Name!
Psalm 103:1 ESV
It seems like David knew the secret to encouragement. He knew how to change his thinking and he most definitely knew Who to run to in his times of fear and distress; in times of hiding from enemies; when he had sinned; and when he needed a Word for direction. He knew that God, and a Word from God, was the only answer.
And so he would speak to his soul, he would address his soul, like he would a "person". (In other words, his "spirit-man" would address his "soul-man"). Similar to having a child sit down to have a talk with him or her. For our "soul-man" is our "think-tank", our emotions and thoughts; it's where we have a conversation with ourselves. The problem is that if our "soul-man" is filled with the fears and propaganda of the media, it is difficult for our tiny little "spirit-man" to make an impression, or to even try to convince our "soul-man" of the truth of God's Word.
With everything that is happening around us today, we need to be strong in our "spirit-man" so that when we see 'fearful' things starting to happen, that we like David, can encourage and remind our soul, that God is good. He has never let us down. His promises are true forever. What He has promised in the past, He has and will bring to pass. We just need to stand strong in and on His Word.
Let us fill out hearts, minds and mouths with the Word of God, so that WHEN we see or hear the "wrong things", that we will be able to discern and recognize 'the lie' as lies, and not what God's Word has to say.
David knew the secret, for he encouraged himself in the Lord, let us do likewise and not allow the things of this world to pull us down, but let us rather "look up", for :"..the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their refuge and stronghold in the time of trouble."Psalms 37:39 AMP
Amen and thank You Heavenly Father, that You are ever near us, You have never left us destitute or wanting, but by Your Word and precious Holy Spirit, You are always there to encourage, remind and rescue us from the enemy. Lord thank You that even today is held in Your hand and that nothing will happen to us without Your knowledge. Father thank You for strengthening us today and giving us wisdom and discernment to walk, talk, think, and react, as wise children of God. May our lives, our words, our thoughts and acts, bring glory and honour to Your Name as we wait on You, as we encourage ourselves in You, as we see Your hand and touch in our lives, and as we are expecting Your soon return. We want to say with John "... Yes, come Lord Jesus, come!!” Rev 22:20b
Lord all this we pray with a humble heart and much thanksgiving in the precious Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, amen

Teen die tyd dat die aandoffer gebring moes word, het Elia by die altaar gaan staan en gebid. “Here,” het hy gesê, “U is die God van Abraham, Isak en Jakob. Laat almal vandag besef dat U die God van Israel is en dat ek aan U behoort en dat ek al hierdie dinge doen omdat U GESÊ HET EK MOET.1 Konings 18:36 DB
n Ander vertaling sê: "...en dat ek al hierdie dinge op U WOORD gedoen het."
I KONINGS 18:36b AFR53
Sjoe, die profete van ouds moes "mannemoed" gehad het om te doen wat hulle moes doen. Of miskien het hulle maar net van kleinsaf geleer om God te vertrou. Die mense was skrikkerig vir Elia juis omdat sy teenwoordigheid en verskyning aan hulle "moeilikheid" beteken het. Veral in die lig van die koning en die volk se afgodediens.
Maar na Elia se uitdaging aan die baäl priesters, bid Hy tot God voor almal, en sê: "laat dit vandag bekend word dat U God in Israel is, en ek U kneg, en dat ek al hierdie dinge op U WOORD gedoen het."
Elia het op grond van God se Woord, dinge gedoen. Met ander woorde, in sy gemeenskap met God, het God vir hom gesê wat om te doen. Elia het nie gaan sit en planne beraam en toe na die Here gegaan met n plan hoe om die baäl priesters by te kom nie. Dis nie hoe dit werk nie. God weet presies hoe Hy wil hê ons, as sy kinders, moet optree.
Elia moes wag op die Here, maar jy en ek het die Heilige Gees binne in ons om ons te leer, te lei, en te waarsku. Daarom is dit so noodsaaklik om kosbare tyd met die Here deur te bring, deur gebed en Bybelstudie. Want dis gedurende daardie tye wat die Here ons deur Sy Heilige Gees bemoedig,
ons bekragtig,
aan ons n uitweg wys,
ons hoop gee en bevestig, en waar ons so bewus raak van Vader se liefdevolle teenwoordigheid. Glory!!
Onthou, jy en ek is kosbaar in Vader se oë, en niks sal met ons gebeur waarvan Hy nie bewus is nie. Maar as ons Hom kan vertrou met ons hele hart, dan sal alles ten goede meewerk, of ons dit verstaan of nie.
Elia was maar net n mens, net soos jy en ek, en tog was hy sterk, en swak, in God. Maar nooit het God hom verwerp nie. Maar hom "genees" en herstel. En wie weet, is hy een van die "twee getuies" wat onverskrokke tydens die groot verdrukking gaan getuig?
Kom wees bemoedig vandag en laat ons kragtig, deur die geloof, bly vasstaan op God se Woord. AMEN!!
Dierbare Hemelse Vader, baie dankie vir n man soos Elia. Vir U liefde en genade aan hom bewys, net so ook aan ons. Help ons asb om U Woord ter harte te neem, en deur geloof, in oorwinning te bly staan, ten spyte van omstandighede. Want U is God van wonderwerke, U is onse ABBA Vader, en ons is so dankbaar om die knie voor U te kan buig en soos n Samueltjie wil ons sê: "spreek, Here, u dienaar-kind luister.”
Help ons asb om nie in eie krag te wil stoomroller nie, maar alleenlik volgens U Woord te sê, te doen, en te wandel. Baie dankie Vader vir U groot liefde en genade. Met grote eerbied en totale afhanklikheid van U, bid ons in diepe ootmoed met groot dankbaarheid in die kosbare en ewige Naam van Jesus Christus onse Heer en Meester, amen

But Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? [Vengeance is His, not mine.] As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present outcome, that many people would be kept alive [as they are this day].
Genesis 50:19‭-‬20 AMP
We find much encouragement reading through these chapters again. For the events in Joseph's life, seem to always apply to current situations.
Joseph's brothers intended evil against him, just like the intended legislation and jabs and injuries, and, and, and, that people are experiencing now. But when we can trust God, like a Joseph did, irrespective of circumstances, then we can know, that we know, that "He is busy devising it for good. In order, as it is this day, to save much people". How? For when people experience persecution, have nowhere to turn to, they usually turn to God. And so opportunity for salvation has come to many desperate and hopeless people.
You and I, must like a Joseph, be willing to let people see Jesus in us, the Hope of glory, the Hope of salvation and eternal Life with Father God. So that we can, like a Joseph, forgive our 'enemies', and pour out Christ' love, as we pray and intercede for the lost especially for our "lost enemies". What a glorious day when ABBA Father, would graciously reveal to us the small part we had played in the salvation of others. Whether we sewed, watered or harvested. No man can redeem another, it is only by the shed Blood of our precious Lord and Saviour. But we can plant a seed, or water it, and God will make it grow. All to His glory and honour. Praise the Lord!!!
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You so much for Your precious and powerful, encouraging Word. Forgive us where we dug up our seeds, instead of trusting You to make it grow. Lord please help us to, like a Joseph, have our eyes focused only on You, to walk in forgiveness and love, so that Your will, will be done. Thank You ABBA Father, for the privilege to be a coworker in Your field. How absolutely humbling it is. Father we worship and adore You. There is none like You. Lord help us to live a life that brings glory and honour to Your Name. Thank You Lord.
Father, this we humbly pray with much thanksgiving in the precious and mighty Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, amen
